To me this question seems fairly simple.  Most of the iconography 
("ancient glyphs") comes from the Classic Maya.  The stories of the 
Popul Vuh are likely an intrusion from Central Mexico in the 
Post-Classic, at least according to Graulich.  So the two mythic 
traditions are not contemporaneous.  The stories of the Popul Vuh seem 
to have reached the Maya region several centuries after the decline of 
the Classic period.
