> "Dear AztlanersReading
 about Mesoamerican religion I have stumbled on references toHunabkú,
 a maya God (supposedly the supreme one) documented primarily in theChilam
 Balam de Chumayel and in the dictionary of Motul, who has apparentlybeen
 appropriated by New Agers. In the only serious references to this godit
 is commented that "this god seems to have been invented by monks in 
orderto further the conversion of the mayas to monotheistic 
christianity". Myquestion is are there any published papers 
presenting this argument?Magnus Pharao HansenExternal

That's about the just of the info I have come across. From wikipedia: "New Age
 beliefs about Hunab Ku derive from the work of Mexican author Domingo 
Martínez Parédez, who first presented his interpretation of the concept 
in 1953..."

Off the top of my head... was the calendar round not called a hunab?
