When spaniard conquered Mexico, they thought that southern kingdoms (mayan speaking but not classical maya descendants) were a different matter to handle with. So chichimeca fortune soldiers told captain Alvarado that the name of these southern lands was Quaitemallan (land of trees). The current mayan name for Guatemala is Iximulew; mayan languages are compulsory subject in every school. Kekchi maya is taught were kekchi is major population, Mam maya is taught were mam is major population and so on. In Petén lowlands most of native populations is made of kekchi inmigrants, who actually speak a descendant of classic Cholan Mayan Language.
Anytime i watch these stuff. Even Egypt. These people talk about looters. And they Don't no what happened to the stuff. 😒🧐. Or they say it must've of been the people who built tombs.,They went back and looted. 🤔 even though these people believed strongly in curses.or just knew theft was wrong. But how about looking in the world museum's. Starting with Europe. Then America etc.
What an amazing work and lecture Dr. Houston! God only knows how I wish I could learn from you and your team!
Very interesting video, Thanks from Guatemala.
