Yeah. I lumped all the American pantheons into the same time frame. They seemed close enough to one another to do so: North, central and south america combined. With obvious subtle differences between individual groups: native american indian vs aztec, mayan, incan and so on.
As an aside, the wefuke comes from a south american legend.
The popol vuh stuff is fascinating, one of the few things in school i actually learned, hah! I was tempted to do something with them. but glad someone else is going to.
I know the relationships between the american pantheons were interesting too. we could even explore the idea that legends around the spanish conquistadors were true, too. the fountain of youth, etc, and existed as relics left over from the american pantheon stuff. or maybe explore a relationship between the egyptian and mayan, too? You know how there's this conspiratorial link between them? Could be some Egyptian god, fleeing to the other side of the world, defected and set up his own host of channelers that went on to become mayan? Anyway. Someone should totally write this shit up! I'm looking at you, Connor!
