Abstract
The sacred text Popol Vuh (Mayan) and the Huarochirí (Andean) present structural similarities which are possible to analyze and to interpret, in spite of cultural geographic and historical differences in which the sacred texts were originated. The general role of the animals in the cosmogony evenst described in both texts is similar. Although the animals are invested with a magical character and of connection between the divine and the earthly sphere, its role of subordination under men is clear from the beginning of the times.References
