Extraordinary
to say, a symbol very similar to that of Yin-Yang can be found
at the Maya culture. The emblem of the supreme God of the Maya,
Hunab Ku, is playing also in the meaning the Taoist symbol.
Hunab Ku is widely described by the sacred book of the Maya,
the Popol Vuh, as the God cosmogony, creator of the Fourth Age.
The Mesoamerican peoples used Hunab Ku as the emblem of the
balance of opposites and the perfection of heaven, because it
is an androgynous deity composed of male and his female double
represented by the Mother Goddess Ixquic. Hunab Ku-Ixquic created
humanity, according to myth, with their saliva. The principle
of permeates opposites found similarities, as often happens
with the Maya, in Egypt with the Supreme God Atum, who had the
same carateristics. |
