NAME: - PopolVuh - The Sacred Book of the Maya

-The Popol Vuh is the story of creation according to the Quiche Maya of the region known today as Guatemala.

-The title translates as "Book of the Community", "Book of Counsel", or more literally as "Book of the People"

- The work recounts the creation of the world, the exploits of the hero twins Hunahpu and Xbalanque in the underworld and their triumph over the Lords of Death, the creation of humans, and the early history of Quiche migration and settlement up until the Spanish Conquest in the 16th century CE

- The myth begins with the exploits of anthropomorphic ancestors and concludes with a regnal genealogy, perhaps as an assertion of rule by divine right.

- Our only source of information for Maya Cosmology.

About Autuwl Eggs

This egg was only available in Egg Cave's Cash Shop Park for November 2013.

Autuwl eggs can be found hidden in piles of leaves in Ark’s forests. The fallen leaves provide not only excellent camouflage but help incubate the eggs as well.

About the Autuwl Creature

Autuwl are actually diurnal and are one of the smaller owl species on Ark. While they prefer to hunt alone, groups of Autuwl will perch in trees together as a form of protection against larger predators. When startled these flocks will create a rather fantastic sight as they all take flight, as if a storm of leaves were falling from the tree.
