The origin of the Popol Vuh "myth" is a document of ancient Mayan mythology
and culture (now Guatemala). Written in K’iche’ (a Mayan language)
mid 16th Century, it chronicles the creation of humankind.

A two hour experience with Popol Vuh, Florian Fricke’s prog-rock 19-album experiment,
alongside Can and Tangerine Dream, soundtracks for Werner Herzog, early Moog work,
and trippy journeys that influenced artists from Radiohead to Freddy Mercury.
