Note 793 — Chapter III
Reading edition
Hist. Nations Civilisées, i. 37, 150, etc. Popul Vuh, introd., sec. v. Bancroft relates the Votan myth, with references, in Nat. Races, iii. 450. Brasseur identifies the Votanites with the Colhuas, as the builders of Palenqué, the founders of Xibalba, and thinks a branch of them wandered south to Peru. There are some stories of even pre-Votan days, under Igh and Imox. Cf. H. De Charency’s “Myth d’Imos,” in the Annales de philosophie Chrétienne, 1872-73, and references in Bancroft, v. 164, 231.
