Role of Twins

The Hero Twins are two of the most well-known characters from Maya Myth. Their story is told in one of only a handful few enduring Maya writings called the Popol Vuh.

The story of the Hero Twins begins with two twin young fellows. Their names are One Hunahpu and Seven Hunahpu and Much equivalent to their father and uncle. These two young fellows needed to play the Maya ball game and They were extraordinarily gifted. The perfect powers of the bootleg market, the Lords of Death, twisted up instigated with the young fellows and conveyed them to the underground market. The Maya underground market was called Xibalba.

Exactly when the young fellows visited the underground market the Lords of Death put them through different tests. So First they expected to make it over conduits of spikes and blood. By then they were to respect the perfect creatures by name.

The Hero Twins went to the underground market to meet the Lords of Death. In any case, the Hero Twins had picked up from their father's mistakes. They didn't fall for any of the perfect creatures' devices. Each time the celestial creatures put them under an amplifying glass, they completed the test.

At the point when the divine beings attempted to deceive them with wooden divine beings, they utilized a mosquito to chomp the divine beings.

The Hero Twins presently had numerous forces of the divine beings and they could execute things and afterward make them resurrect. The Lords of Death were awed with the young men's forces. They asked the young men to play out the trap on them but with their best trap of all, they murdered the Lords of Death and after that didn't breathe life into them back. The Hero Twins had won!
