I don't think that we should be so hasty to classify many of the Maya images that we find in codices or on Maya vases as gods. The waterlily jaguar, although he may be associated with the calendar and the month of Pop, could easily be a nahual or nagual of a god or goddess. So could the rabbit scribe. The Tzotzil and the Tzeltal of the highlands of Chiapas believe strongly in Nahuals and nahualismo and associate strong animals such as bulls, jaguars, and deer stags as the animal companion spirits or nahuals (naguals) of saints. Also, we should also be careful in our classifications because many gods took on several different guises depending on their clothing and ritual accutrements that they are depicted with on codex style vases and in the codices themselves. As far as sacred centers, many of the ceremonial centers were also connected politically and religiously to Teotihuacan in Central Mexico. Which gods are imports, if any? Copan was founded by Teotihuacanos and Tikal ,or Motul as its glyph reads phonetically (See Simon and Grube"s "Chronicles of the Maya Kings and Queens"), was taken over by Teotihuacan in 369 C.E. In the codices there are several gods, whose names are written phonetically in "glyphic" script, that are Central Mexican Toltec or Mexica gods.
