In this video, we explore the conquest of Latin America by the Catholic Church and its consequences for today’s religious life in Guatemala. But who were the Maya? And what did they lose? We explore the mythical landscapes that roamed these lands before the arrival of the Spanish, including the sacred text, the Popol Vuh.

If you would like to learn more about the Popol Vuh here on youtube, we recommend this video:    • The Popol Vuh: The Maya Story of Creation  

The paintings used to illustrate the Popol Vuh are from a collection of watercolour paintings done by the Mexican painter, Diego Rivera.
