Monotheistic or Polytheistic?

This week we discussed more about the Mayan religion. Were these people monotheistic or polytheistic? This is a very controversial question when it comes to the Maya. All Mayan deities possessed K'uh, a sacredness inherent in all things. This gives them the sense of being monotheistic. The people also have many gods such as; God of Sky, God of Rain and Thunderstorms, The Sun God, and the Lightening God.This perception of distinct qualities represented by distinct beings gives them the quality of polytheism. Polytheism is the worship or belief in multiple deities usually assembled into a pantheon of gods and goddesses, along with their own religions and rituals. In my opinion, I believe that the Maya were polytheistic based off of my interpretation of their religion. I think that with more research, we will be able to determine whether they were monotheistic or polytheistic. But for now, researches will consider them to be both.
