Cizin
Cizin is a Maya god of death and earthquakes. He is the most important Maya death god in the Maya culture. Scholars call him God A.
To the Yucatán Mayas he was Hun-Came and Vucub-Came.[clarification needed] He also has similarities to Mictlāntēcutli.
The God Cizin goes by several names like Kisen, Yom Cimil, Kisin, Ah Puch, Xibalba, Yum Cimil, Hunhau, Ah Puchah, Au Puch, Cum Hau, Eopuco, Hu Ahau, Tzontemoc, Ahpuch, and Ahal Puch. He was sometimes called Kimi. Maya today call him Yum Cim or Yum Cimil.
The name Cizin probably means stench. Cizin comes from the root "ciz" which means flatulence. His name is said to mean Stinking One.[clarification needed]
Yum Cimil means lord of death while Hun Ahau means one ruler. Ah Puch means to melt.
He is considered the brother of Nohochacyum and Bacabs.
According to Lacandon myth when a person dies Cizin burns the soul on his mouth and his anus. When the soul complains Cizin douses the soul in cold water, causing the soul to complain more leading Cizin to burn them until the soul disintegrates into nothing. Then, it is believed the soul goes to the god Sucunyum, who spits in his hand to clean the soul, so the soul can go where it likes.
Cizin makes an appearance as a playable god in the 2014 free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena video game Smite as part of the Maya pantheon by the name Ah Puch.
