Itzamna, the Bearded One
Isn’t it strange that the Maya’s creator god, Itzamna, is also called, “The Bearded One,” especially when you consider that Maya men do not have facial hair? How could the ancient Maya have ever envisioned a man with a beard? I guess it’s another one of those mysteries associated with the ancient Maya. In the Yucatan Travel Movie, I have included images of Itzamna found in ruins both with a beard and without.
