Bitzk'uh

The Bitzk'uh, contraction of its official name Bitzal Hun K'uhul Patzal (Mutli: "Blessed Book, Holy Teaching"), was the first historical collection of White Path mythology, cosmology, and theology in an effort to create a religious text around which all the population of the Divine Kingdom could unite. The recording of all the local legends, their selection, and then compilation in a single book was ordered by the K'uhul Ajaw Tecuman II the Wise, in an effort to offer a clear and solid philosophical and cultural basis to oppose to the Christians and their Bible as it was being spread by missionaries. Among historians, the publication of the Bitzk'uh is used as the official beginning of the White Path as a defined religion, emerging from a number of diverse regional shamanistic traditions and pagans cults.

Attitudes towards the document differs among Sakbeists communities. In the Mutul, it is often called the "Holiest of Book" and all the machine that printed it is kept as a precious relics to which offerings are made as thanks. Outside of the Divine Kingdom, it is considered to be a very important text, but is not necessarily treated with the veneration Mutuleses can show. Generally, it serve as the central piece of religious collections, alongside other anthologies or compilations of prophecies and teachings.

The redaction process of the Bitzal Hun K'uhul Patzal had a profound influence on the Mutulese culture. Now armed with a singular and coherent theological source, scholars and priests were able to exchange more easily as they shared their cultural references. Older texts are still regularly used by Mutuleses scholars, but the Bitzk'uh hold primacy over them all. In the history of sciences, the Bitzk'uh is also an important milestone as it is the first book printed using moveable parts, allowing for its quick diffusion beyond just the clerical and educated classes of the Mutulese society.
