"They had the appearance of people and they spoke like people as well. They populated the whole face of the earth. The effigies of carved wood began to multiply, bearing daughters and sons. Nevertheless, they still did not possess their hearts nor their minds. They did not remember their Framer or their Shaper. They walked without purpose. They crawled on their hands and knees and did not remember Heart of Sky"
-Popol Vuh 83. (A. Christenson trans.)

Yes, it is familiar. Reviewing for the reading list this passage stuck out and I thought it was somewhat prophetic.
