The Mayan creation stories primarily described how gods brought order to the universe. These stories, often found in sacred texts like the Popol Vuh, tell of the gods creating the earth, sky, animals, and humans in a specific order, bringing structure and order to what was once chaos.

While these stories might indirectly influence other aspects of Mayan culture such as architecture, the treatment of people by the king, or even their astronomical observations, they do not explicitly describe these things. The primary focus is on the creation and ordering of the universe by divine beings.
