ABSTRACT

God ‘B’ This Maya god is Kukulcan†, the equivalent of Quetzalcoatl†, and the most important in the pantheon. At times he is a planter of maize, but he is also a water god.

Ba In Egyptian religion the external manifestation of the soul which, in the Book of the Dead, is frequently shown as a man-headed hawk; it might also assume the outward semblance of a flower, a lotus, a serpent, a crocodile, or other object.
