The soul, an invisible element that filled the space. The fifth element, called the "empty". For the Mayans, souls and the soul itself are all the energies, forces and concepts that act as bonds of union and mediation between man and his world. Tool for transmitting energies between the earthly and the transcendental. The Mayans believed in the immortality of the spirit, in another existence after the death of the body, in which they would continue to serve the gods in various places, determined by the way each person died.
