Itzamna on War, Violence, and Human Sacrifice

In the Yucatan Travel Movie, a continual thread of Maya mythology runs throughout with information about, carvings in Mayan ruins, and images of Itzamna, the ancient Maya creator god. Although Itzaman is thought of as being a god of the ancient Maya, I also discovered that there continues to be a reverence for him among modern Maya. I heard one woman say that her grandparents used to honor Itzamna.

As founder of Mayan culture, Itzamna refused to have anything to do with wars, violence, or human sacrifices.
