Reading the Popol Vuh to pass the time until Apocalypto
Do you have some time to spare before this summer's release of Apocalypto? Then how about reading the Popol Vuh (the Mayan bible) which Mel Gibson admits to have consulted while researching Mayan culture and myth for his Apocalypto movie script? A short quote from Mel Gibson: "He [Mel Gibson] said Mayan myths from the Popol Vuh sacred texts formed part of his research for the film, which also drew on input from indigenous groups and Spanish mission texts from the 1700s and Mayan language translators."
