Popol Vuh (also
Popol Wuj) is a cultural narrative that recounts the mythology and history of the
K'iche' people who inhabit(ed) the Guatemalan highlands northwest of present-day
Guatemala City. Popol Vuh is a pre-conquest narrative dating to the
Post Classic
period, roughly CE 1000-1500. The actual written text, however, is a
product of the Spanish colonial period. The title translates as "Book of
the Community", "Book of Counsel", or more literally as "Book of the
People". Popol Vuh's prominent features are its
creation myth, its
diluvian suggestion, its epic tales of the
Hero Twins Hunahpú and Xbalanqué,
and its genealogies. The myth begins with the exploits of
anthropomorphic ancestors and concludes with a regnal genealogy, perhaps
as an assertion of rule by
divine right. As with other texts (
Chilam Balam, being one example), a great deal of Popol Vuh's significance lies in the scarcity of early accounts dealing with
Mesoamerican mythologies. Popol Vuh's fortuitous survival is attributable to the Spanish 18th century
Dominican friar Francisco Ximénez.

In New Zealand, the indigenous Māori (see also Iwi) constitute nearly 15% of the total population. Most of those people who define themselves as Māori are also of European and to a much lesser extent Asian descent.
At least one part of the Americas was already occupied by humans before that time, however, says new research on the skeleton of a male youth found in Chan Hol cave near Tulúm, Mexico. Dubbed the Young Man of Chan Hol, the remains date to 13,000 years ago, according to a paper published in the journal PLOS ONE.
How he arrived at the location remains a great mystery given the timing and the fact that Mexico is well over 4,000 miles away from the Bering land crossing.
