Summary
If you're looking for a captivating collection of Central American myths, then pay attention.... Mexico and the Central American states are home to many indigenous peoples, each of whom speaks their own language and lives according to their own customs.
These diverse peoples have rich storytelling cultures, passing down myths about gods and the work of creation, and about the humans who for good or ill interact with these otherworldly beings. The loving god Olocupinele creates the world of the Cuna of Panama, while the goddess Nakawe’ destroys and then remakes the world of the Huichol of Mexico.
In the story “Mother Scorpion Country”, from the Miskito of Nicaragua, we learn that even the goddess of the land of the dead cannot break the bond of love between a husband and wife.
The stories presented in this volume are but a small sample of the abundant variety of myths and legends from Mexico and Central America.

More than interesting.
I visited Central America many years ago and did not much about it then. This audiobook was fascinating, but still a lot of opinion about life there and not much about actual finds.

I am happy.
This audible is short, only 1 hr and 16 mins, I wanted it more. The knowledge was excellent, and considering I can perceive what I want in the least amount of fuzz, recommended.

I love mythology
Each of the involved stories was distinct to me. Explained in a sinless and simple to understand method. The issue is involved with each, which I obtain amazingly!

Lot of information.
Great stuff. Precisely what I was looking for, it embraced the history, landmarks, culture, bloodshed, and present findings. Outspoken, and didn't haul.
