Immediately, the wooden figures were annihilated, destroyed, broken up, and killed.*

Superphysics Note

These were the Atlanteans. They were killed because they became too advanced as humans

A flood was brought about by the Heart of Heaven. A great flood was formed which fell on the heads of the wooden creatures.

Of tzité, the flesh of man was made, but when woman was fashioned by the Creator and the Maker, her flesh was made of rushes.

These were the materials the Creator and the Maker wanted to use in making them.

But those that they had made, that they had created, did not think, did not speak with their Creator, their Maker.

This is why they were killed, they were deluged.

A heavy resin fell from the sky.

Xecotcovach came and gouged out their eyes.
Camalotz came and cut off their heads.
Cotzbalam came and devoured their flesh.
Tucumbalam came, too, and broke and mangled their bones and their nerves, and ground and crumbled their bones.

This was to punish them because they had not thought of their mother, nor their father, the Heart of Heaven, called Huracán.

This is why the face of the earth was darkened and a black rain began to fall, by day and by night.

Then came the small animals and the large animals, and sticks and stones struck their faces.

All began to speak: their earthen jars, their griddles, their plates, their pots, their grinding stones, all rose up and struck their faces.

Their dogs and birds of the barnyard said:

Animals

You have done us much harm; you ate us, and now we shall kill you

The grinding stones said:

Stones

We were tormented by you; every day, every day, at night, at dawn, all the time our faces went holi, holi, huqui, huqui, because of you. This was the tribute we paid you. But now that you are no longer men, you shall feel our strength. We shall grind and tear your flesh to pieces.

Then their dogs spoke and said:

Dogs

Why did you give us nothing to eat? You scarcely looked at us, but you chased us and threw us out. You always had a stick ready to strike us while you were eating. Thus it was that you treated us. You did not speak to us. Perhaps we shall not kill you now; but why did you not look ahead, why did you not think about yourselves? Now we shall destroy you, now you shall feel the teeth of our mouths; we shall devour you.

Then those dogs destroyed their faces.

And at the same time, their griddles and pots spoke:

Pots

Pain and suffering you have caused us. Our mouths and our faces were blackened with soot; we were always put on the fire and you burned us as though we felt no pain. Now you shall feel it, we shall burn you,"

The pots then destroyed their [the wooden men’s] faces.

The stones of the hearth, which were heaped together, hurled themselves straight from the fire against their heads causing them pain.

The desperate ones [the men of wood] ran as quickly as they could.

They wanted to climb to the tops of the houses, and the houses fell down and threw them to the ground.

They wanted to climb to the treetops, and the trees cast them far away.

They wanted to enter the caverns, and the caverns repelled them.

So was the ruin of the men who had been created and formed, the men made to be destroyed and annihilated; the mouths and faces of all of them were mangled.

Their descendants are the monkeys which now live in the forests. These are all that remain of them because their flesh was made only of wood by the Creator and the Maker.

Therefore, the monkey looks like man, and is an example of a generation of men which were created and made but were only wooden figures.
