Mayan Origin Story: The Popul Vuh

There were makers in the sea, together called the Plumed Serpent. There were makers in the sky, together called the Heart of Sky. Together these makers planned the dawn of life.
All at once great mountains came forth. The sky was set apart, and the earth was set apart in the midst of the waters.
Then the makers in the sky planned the animals of the mountains... Then they established the nests of the birds, great and small.
The makers tried again to form a giver of respect, a creature who would nurture and provide. They made a body from mud, but it didn’t look good. It talked at first but then crumbled and disintegrated into the water.
Wooden humans came into being; they talked and multiplied, but there was nothing in their minds and hearts, no memory of their builder, no memory of Heart of Sky.
The story continues with the final people being made from corn, an important crop that enabled the Maya to move from being a hunting-and-gathering society to a more complex civilization.
