The gods and goddesses of the ancient Maya

This new section of the Maya archaeology web site introduces the gods and goddesses of the ancient Maya using their actual portraits by Maya artists of the 4th-9th centuries A.D.

	Jaguar God of the Underworld, the Night Sun, one of the major characters of the Maya pantheon.For more information on this deity, and the rest of the pantheon, we recommend looking among the 727 illustrations of deities and cosmological locations in Nicholas Hellmuth's colorful book, Monster and Men in Maya Art, bi-lingual (German-English), ADEVA, Graz, Austria.
