Itzamna Carvings Hard to Come By
When we were filming in the Yucatan, I wanted a photo of a carving of Itzamna, the Maya Creator god. However, when I visited Chichen Itza, a couple of tours guides told me that three different looking carvings were of Itzamna. To tell you the truth, I am still not quite sure which image is the right one.
Some clues: Itzamna is usually depicted as toothless. Two of the carvings appear to be toothless. One has him sitting lotus position. I’m not sure about that. One carving has huge feathers, almost like wings, curving out of the top of the man’s head. Is that Itzamna? Very confusing.
