Unfortunately, it turns out that the English version of my first myth is at school right now. So it looks like I'll be posting it tomorrow instead of today. Sorry to disappoint all two of you. However, if you use Google Chrome, there is an option to have the page translated to English for you, and you can get the idea of what my myth is like that way. Such a solution should tide over all of you eager readers. In the mean time, some fun facts, I guess.
Did you know that the butterfly was a symbol of rebirth to the Mayan people?
They also had a pretty hardcore relationship with chocolate. In early years, the Maya worshiped cacao (the bean that makes chocolate) as an idol. They believed it would bring them wisdom and power. In fact, the name of the cocoa tree in Central America, Theobroma Cacao, translates to "food of the gods". That is definitely something about the Mayans that I can relate to.
With luck, I'll have my myth to you all tomorrow, thanks for reading.
I can relate to the Mayans and their feelings toward chocolate. Wasn't Greek ambrosia suppose to be like chocolate, too? Or am I only thinking that because there is an Ambrosia chocolate company?
