宗教信仰在玛雅文化中,扮演着重要的角色。近年来,透过铭文释读与雕刻装饰的综合解读,研究者发现山丘是玛雅人的重要崇拜之一。山丘一词广泛的出现在地名、文献、雕刻装饰之中。同时,玛雅人将金字塔神庙看作是山丘。这些建筑物被设计成山丘,并且复制了神圣性地理景观到城市之中。藉由山丘崇拜,统治者增强了统治权威,塑造自己作为人间世界与超自然世界中介者的形象。 Religious beliefs play an important role in Mayan culture. In recent years, through the comprehensive interpretation of inscriptions and carvings, the researchers found that the hills are one of the Mayan worship. The word hill appears in a wide range of places, literature, carving decoration. At the same time, the Maya see the pyramid temple as a hill. These buildings are designed as hills and replicate the sacred landscape to the city. By worshiping the hills, the rulers strengthened their authority over authority and shaped themselves as agents of the world of mankind and the supernatural.
