The Hero Twins

The Hero Twins

The Hero Twins now had many powers of the gods. They could kill things and then make them come back from the dead. The Lords of Death were impressed with the boys' powers so they asked the boys to perform the trick on them. With their best trick of all, they killed the Lords of Death and then didn't bring them back to life. Due to this they had became victorius and had defeated Xibalba. 

Maya Maize God

Now they talked to their dead father and after that they became the Sun and the Moon and revived their father to make him the Maize God. Through their actions, the Hero Twins prepared the way for the planting of corn, for human beings to live on Earth, and the Fourth Creation of Maya.
