EDITORS COMMENTS
In the ancient Mayan mythology of the Guatemalan highlands, the sacred manuscript known as the Popol Vuh recounts the origins of the world and its inhabitants. One of the most intriguing stories within this mythological text revolves around Princess Xquiq, also known as Xquic or Xquix, and the enigmatic deity Hunhun-Apu. In this scene, Princess Xquiq, dressed in rich, intricately woven cloth, reaches out to pick a gourd from the forbidden tree. Unbeknownst to her, this gourd was not an ordinary fruit but rather the head of Hunhun-Apu, the benevolent and malevolent deity of the underworld. The moment she touched the gourd, Hunhun-Apu impregnated her, and she gave birth to the twin heroes Hunahpu and Xbalanque, who would later become central figures in the mythological cycle of the Hero Twins. The ancient Mayan civilization, known for its sophisticated art and complex mythology, left behind a rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate scholars and enthusiasts alike. The story of Princess Xquiq and Hunhun-Apu is a testament to the ancient Mayans' deep understanding of the natural world and their belief in the interconnectedness of all things. The image of Princess Xquiq, with her delicate features and regal bearing, stands before the forbidden tree, her hand reaching out to pick the gourd that holds the head of Hunhun-Apu. The intricate patterns on her clothing and the lush foliage of the tree add depth and texture to this ancient myth, transporting us to a time when gods and humans lived in a world where the boundaries between the two were blurred. This photograph print, taken from the pages of the Popol Vuh manuscript, offers a glimpse into the ancient Mayan civilization and their rich mythology, allowing us to explore the depths of their cultural heritage and the mysteries of their world.
