Talk:Maya Hero Twins

message: As of 20 March 2007, there are no images in this article, and as long-time editors know, I'm a big image fan.  Are contemporaneous images (e.g. from the Classic Era) that hard to find??  Is there somewhere I could look?  Any insight out there??  Madman 03:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh - a timely reminder, friend Madman, from the master of Mesoamerican images around here ;-) It probably should not be that hard to find illustrations about the place, as there are frequent representations of these - heck, they may already adorn another article someplace, haven't checked. If not, perhaps you could be imposed upon to rustle up one of your excellent drawings from an original - I think there are some fine specimens in Justin Kerr's Mayavase collection, for eg. Alternatively, maybe there are PD images and illustrations online out there from folks like Maudslay or Beyer- will have to check their collections.--cjllw | TALK 05:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've checked Flickr (nothing there at all) well as Google images (which has the aforementioned Kerr photos).  Maybe a line drawing is the only possibility at this time.  I'll keep looking.  Thanks, Madman 12:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, here's a crappy (but PD!) drawing of an Izapa stela, plus some nice illos of the Twins from further North. Also links to more, better, but all copyrighted. Cheers, Pete Tillman (talk) 05:29, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  No images???  What's up with that?? 

message: We should decide whether names of Popol Wuj characters should be rendered in modern K'iche' ALMG orthography or in the classical orthography used in the actual manuscript as it is now. I also don't think the current version of the etymologies are the most agreed upon. It seems each of my versions of the Popol Wuj proposes different translations of the names (I have 4 different versions) yet none of them are identical to the translations given in the article. Such claims need to be sourced, and well sourced too.
I would advocate using the classical names but putting modern K'iche' in brackets the first time like this: Ixbalanque (K'iche' Xbalankej) & Hunahpu (K'iche' Junajpu). then subsequent times can just use the classical version.·Maunus· ·ƛ· 15:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I support this.  Since the Popul Vuh is not written in modern K'iche', it makes sense to use the classical version of names.  Thanks for helping sort this out, Maunus, Madman (talk) 02:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I don't have an idea about who used the term "pants" on the Early life os the twin heros, it did not made sense. Replaced it with loincloths, wich are more close to the real Mayan commoner attire and suit better to the tailed brothers part of the tale. Soparamens (talk) 20:53, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: JFYI, I have been able to trace the addition to  to Hun-Ahpu (actually Hun-Apu at the time), which was merged here. (I searched through the edit histories because I wondered if it may have been vandalism; turns out it was not.) --Florian Blaschke (talk) 21:44, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

message: The duality that occurs between male and female is often seen in twin myths, as a male and female twin are conceptualized to be born to represent the two sides of a single entity (Miller and Taube 1993: 81).  How is this relevant here, given that they're both male?--92.208.32.120 (talk) 11:05, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Not only was that information irrelevant to this article, considering  Hunahpu and Xbalanqe are both male, it was also plagiarized, so I removed it Lubaantun (talk) 20:56, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
