Mayan Road

Maya people once dominated the region that is now eastern and southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, and western Honduras. Prior to the sixteenth century arrival of Europeans, they developed one of the most advanced Native American civilizations in the western hemisphere. Without metal tools, the Maya constructed massive stone pyramids and temples. They created stone sculptures and painted elaborate murals. They also recorded events in hieroglyphs, a form of pictorial writing. Their most complex achievements were in astronomy and mathematics. Maya used a numbering system and could complete abstract and complicated calculations. They developed a pair of interlocking calendars. One calendar was based on the position of the sun and contained 365 days. The other was a sacred 260-day almanac. Designation of any given day involved combining the name for the sun calendar day and the sacred almanac day.
 
The Maya culture's greatest period was from about year 300 to 900 AD. After that zenith, the Maya mysteriously declined in Guatemala's southern lowlands, but later their culture revived in the Yucatán Peninsula. There the Maya continued to dominate until the Spanish conquest. Today's Maya descendants still comprise a large segment of that region's population, living their lives as peasant farmers. They speak a mixture of Mayan and Spanish languages. One tribal group, the Lacandón people of Mexico, still makes pilgrimages to worship the ancient gods among the ruins of the pyramids and temples.

mayan_diskMaya possessed one of the greatest civilizations of the Western Hemisphere

One of the civilizations more marvelous that it has never existed is, undoubtedly, that of the Mayan. Also it is one of the most unknown and enigmatic. Mayans expanded through out Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, Salvador, and part of Colombia. In fact, some very particular Colombian etnias preserve still alive the knowledge and Mayan rituals, emphasizing his deep knowledge on medicine that they defy, in results, to the current one. Such is the quantity of archaeological Mayan remains, cities, ceremonial and scientific centers, etc. that exist, which many at present are even without cataloguing or discovering. In the Colombian forests there exist immense cities that the Arawacos know and venerate but that are not absolutely known for the official anthropology.

Systems Thinking: Ancient Maya’s Evolution of Consciousness

Systems thinking is a framework that is based on the belief that the component parts of a system can best be understood in the context of relationships with each other and with other systems, rather than in isolation. The only way to fully understand why a problem or element occurs and persists is to understand the part in relation to the whole. (Capra, 1997)

9.9.9. And The Mayan Calendar

Mayan CalenderTeacher: Carl Johan Calleman

The number nine has been endowed with a special significance in many different spiritual and religious traditions. Nine was the number of muses in Greek mythology and Nine were the number of worlds in the Scandinavian. Nine was the number of doors to the holiest part of the temple in Jerusalem and the month of Ramadan is the Ninth in the Muslim calendar.
