whichbe commented on the word vucub caquix
A Mayan demon of the underworld. He was the father of the giant demons Cabrakan and Zipacna. He considered himself to be the sun, the moon, and the light. For this reckless thought, and for the part he played in the death or their father, the twins Hunahpu and Ixbalangue descended to the underworld and killed him. (From Pantheon.org)
In Mayan mythology, Vucub Caquix (Seven Macaw), was a large bird that dwelled on the surface of the world after the flood. He was very vain and proclaimed himself the sun and moon, the lord over everything. (From Delirium's Realm)
