Water is the element associated with the beginning of life. The Mayan Community worships the god Chaac, father of the rains. Chaac is not considered a single deity, but there are 4 gods, each representing one of the cardinal points. To promote the rain, the Mayans made human sacrifices in honor of the god Chaac, self-sacrifices where the person was tied up and thrown to the bottom of the hundreds of cenotes in the jungles of Quintana Roo, where the Chaacs were believed to inhabit. Hitting them to produce the rains.
