Mayan Sun

The story of the Popol Vuh:

 

The ancient Mayans' perspective of the universe is divided into multiple levels; their anthropomorphic artwork signified this by the way that the Mayans implemented compass-like designs to the image to represent the four directions of north, south, east and west.

Mayan creational mythology discuss extraterrestrial overseers, visitors from outer space seen as gods, and that the Mayan existence was connected with these beings from other realms who came to Earth to seed the planet.
