Historical Background

In Maya mythology, B'alam referred to any of a group of jaguar gods who protected people and communities against threats. B'alam Quitz ("jaguar with the sweet smile") was the first of the men created from maize after the Great Flood sent by Hurakan. The gods created Caha-Paluma specifically for him to marry.
