Xibalba and the Entrails of Earth
Xibalba is a Maya Word from the K’iche’ variant that is mentioned in the Popol Vuh saga. It is one of the regions in the otherworldly dimension located inside the caves. It represents a spiritual real of existence in the afterlife. Since from the dark labyrinths of caves there is no exit, it is natural to believe that the caves were the final resting place of the souls once they depart this dimension.
