Ancient Mesoamerican Flood Myths

The Popol-Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, contains within its creation story a tale of the destruction of the first beings by a flood. This flood differs from others in that it is not meant as a punishment, but rather a remedy for an earlier faulty creation of mankind.

The Tlaxcalan (central Mexico) legend tells of men in some parts of the world who had survived the deluge, turning into monkeys, then slowly recovered speech and reason.

The flood myth in Michoacan (Mexico) says that when the flood waters began to rise, a man named Tezpi entered into a great vessel, taking with him his wife, children and diverse seeds and animals for repopulation. When the waters abated, the man sent out a bird which then returned with a green bough in its beak.
