- This talk will discuss recent findings from the site of Aguada Fénix, Mexico, which was discovered in 2018.
Its central platform, which measures 1400 x 400 m horizontally and 10-15 m in height and was built around 1000 BC, is the largest and oldest monumental building in the Maya area.
The results of investigations at this site are changing our understanding of how the Maya civilization and surrounding societies developed.
Takeshi Inomata, PhD, is a professor at the School of Anthropology, University of Arizona.
He has been investigating social changes in the Maya area through field projects at Aguateca and Ceibal in Guatemala and in the Middle Usumacinta region of Mexico.
Wow!
The Middle preclassic needs more research 🎉
That is amazing. I just googled it under images. There's a nice Tile design of some sort. It appears to be laying flat, but in tact (unless the archaeologist put it back together). I'm not far along in this video. I saw some tile looking things. I wasn't able to hear what it was. It's 4 am and can't turn the vol. up lol.
The dating is going to be interesting. I have been trying to figure out where the Maya came from. I always kinda figured..descendents of Olmec.
However, I've been on a Chaco Canyon Run lately and Dineh Navajo history and teachings etc....Archaeologist say ONE THING and the people themselves say DIFFERENT. I agree with the Dineh, being indigenous myself. Native American. Our history is always written by pardon my broad usage of this word(s) "white man" Europeans, outsiders....prob. better terms. Well they write our history without us or our input. NOW they are finding our oral traditions (all tribes) IS CORRECT.
People don't understand Oral Tradition. It's not a game of telephone. Just as you know the lyrics to thousands of songs. It's the same difference basically.
I love all the finds here. Intricate. What artists the Maya were. There are Native American effigy pipes, I think it was...found in one of the great mounds somehwere...a mining company broke into it first. Anyway, my point being. These effigies were very Olmec looking. They had men sitting, leaning fwd. like at La Venta or those stones found with men sitting inside. Similar to those. Olmec trading or maybe the Olmec migrated Northward into N. America. IDK...
But this here is GREAT!
Straight up on the false history told... They say shells and deer shoulders were used as , 'digging sticks..' that right there should get them laughed out of any serious conversation
I can see Mayan artist...take all that time and effort to create something and at the last second before finish. It breaks. That's heartbreaking. As an Artist at times, I know the feeling. Still yet. OH and I forgot to add to my comment below. I said I was into Chaco Canyon. THe Anasazi area said by Historians and Archaeologist that the Anasazi were long gone by the time the Dineh moved in. NOT TRUE. THe Dineh were in that area the last 2k+ yrs. The Anasazi were still there for the last 1k yrs of that 2k. The Dineh say so themselves. They have all the Anasazi's oral traditions, beliefs, customs, ceremonies etc....
The Anasazi came from the South and Mayan artifacts were found there. Many believe they were remnanat of disgruntled Mayans who left and went North. Teeth inlaid with idk...turquoise and Macaw feathers and complete skeleton was found. Those only come from down south. Trade could have been it sure, but according to the Dineh. The Anasazi were a diff. type of people than all the indigenous of N. America they'd come across. They met many many tribes as they made their way from the EAST. Historians say they came from elsewhere but the Dineh say always came from the East. The Holy People led them.
Dineh say they saw the Big Rivers, crossed then and found a sea of grass (central USA -The Great Plains) where the made home and sent scouts out NW, W and SW. When they returned to tell what they'd found. The Dineh packed up and moved into the area they are now today. When they got there, other people were there. Fremont/cliff dwellers and Anasazi. The Anasazi were slave traders, into sorcery and witchcraft. Had strange beliefs, customs, diff. gods and were violent and turned to cannibalism. I won't tell the rest of the story. It's woo woo, and only Bible believers seem to actually believe them. A story from Oral tradition NOT TOLD TO OUTSIDERS, was told to Dr. Thomas Horn. He was allowed into the ruins that are closed off to the public. He was told the TRUE STORY OF CHACO CANYON and the Anasazi. It matches the Old Testament well. There were monsters in the land at one time.
vonda,
Mayans did not know turquoises.
What the anazasi have to do with this Maya history?
