About this conversion
The Popol Vuh and Yucatan traditions describe the moon goddess Ix Chel near human scale at about 2.00m, rain god Chaac larger than men at about 3.00m, the death-bat Camazotz at about 5.00m of winged terror, the Feathered Serpent Kukulkan at about 8.00m long and the mountain-carrying giant Zipacna at about 12.00m, the tallest of the pantheon.
The Popol Vuh gives no meters, so these heights are fan-compiled mythic averages from colonial sources and scholarship (Karl Taube via mayan.org, plus Wikipedia Kukulkan and Chaac), like our Greek converter. 1 Zipacna = 1.50x Kukulkan (12/8), 1 Chaac = 1.76x human, making this converter a handy reference for lore debates, art scaling and everyday curiosity.
Units supported: Meters, feet, and Maya mythic heights (Ix Chel 2.00m, Chaac 3.00m, Camazotz 5.00m, Kukulkan 8.00m, Zipacna 12.00m).
Source note: Heights are fan-compiled mythic averages from the Popol Vuh and colonial sources (no official meters) — see mayan.org (Taube 1992) and Wikipedia Kukulkan/Chaac.
