Delve into the depths of Cenote Zazil Tunich, a portal to an underground world where echoes of the past resonate in every drop of water. Here, in the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula, the legend of the Mayan Flood comes to life, transporting you to a time when the earth was purified by the waters and humanity was reborn from the depths.
The Mayan Flood: A Cataclysm that Marked an Era
According to the Mayan worldview, the world was created and destroyed in successive cycles, each represented by a sun. The fourth sun, known as the Sun of Water, came to an end with a devastating flood that inundated the earth and almost completely wiped out humanity.
This cataclysm, far from being a simple myth, is a reminder of the fragility of existence and the importance of living in harmony with nature. The Mayans believed that the flood was a divine punishment for the pride and forgetfulness of the gods, a lesson that resonates through the centuries.
In their mythology, the flood was caused by Chac, the god of rain, who unleashed his fury on the earth in the form of torrential rains and floods. Humans, unable to resist the force of nature, were swept away by the waters, while the gods watched from the sky.
Only a select few managed to survive, taking refuge in caves and mountains. These survivors, guided by the wisdom of the gods, rebuilt civilization and learned to live in harmony with nature, respecting its cycles and honoring the deities who protected them.
