The Mayan on the skin color black

Well this is a story that i read about the different colors that include red, brown, blue, green, white, yellow and black. I did a video representing the importance of my culture and though I shared it with all of you and hopefully you learned something. So here is the explanation of the color Black.

“From black came the light and from there came the stars which light up the sky around the world. He told us a story which said that a long time ago, the first gods were given the task of giving birth to the world. In one of their meeting they said it was necessary that the world have life and movement, and for this was necessary. Then they thought making the sun in order that the days move and so there would be day and night and time for struggling and time for making love, walking with the days and nights the world would go. The gods had their meeting and made this agreement in front of a large fire, and they knew it was necessary that one of them be sacrificed by throwing himself into the fire in order to become fire himself and fly into the sky. The gods thought that the work of the sun was the most important, so they chose the most beautiful god so that he would fly into the fire and become the sun. But he was afraid. Then the smallest god, the one who was black, said he was not afraid and he threw himself into the fire and became sun. Then the world had light and movement, and there was time for struggle and time for love, and in the day the bodies worked to make the world and in the night the bodies made love and sparkles filled the darkness.”
