The Anthropological Museum in Mexico City is an absolute must see for students/admirers of the Mayan-Mesoamerican cultures...take several days and go total immersion...fantastic.
The magical thing is the futuristic quality of these ancient stylizations. The captivating wild sophistication of this jungle civization. Isn't it amazing what a gift Ouija gave us in Art!
Looking at the Mayan artifacts on display reminds me of when I took a trip to the Mayan cities of Chaccoben and Tulum back in 2019. It was so cool walking around the old city plazas and seeing the old residences where the nobility would have lived.
Thank you for taking us on a thoughtful wandering through this most important exhibit. I learned a lot. But I would have enjoyed it even more without the superfluous background music, which had nothing to do with the people and culture being presented. We don't hear background music in museums, which are not stores or elevators, but places for quiet observation and thought.
1:43 What is that monolith depicting. They did not cover it in their walkthrough. It was to me the most intreaguing. All this art here is amazing but that one stood out to me.
I can't believe you didn't mention Belize but did mention Honduras? Belize is one of the three countries at the core of the Mayan world, having a very strong Mayan influence, but you choose to mention Honduras instead. Honduras has a small Mayan population, they barely got Mayans.
Can't the spots on the sun warrior interpreted as they shifting from a nocturnal representation, such as one of the jaguar, to one full of light? The spots fading may represent this transition from a night to a light god.
Since the artwork revolves around the night sky I believe the spots on the two drawings of the 2 men on the plate correspond to constellations or stars. It's just my theory.
Only four codices survive because the rest were destroyed by the invasion of Europeans, specifically Spanish priests and conquistadors. They destroyed and pillaged.

This is such a wonderful collection of Maya Art. I wish for it to be exhibited as is in Mexico, that would be so lovely.

Contemporary Mayan music would have been wonderful.

It’s distracting and not historically accurate

I was thinking the same thing. Seems like they were emulating big cats.
Where is that Museum?
It’s the Metropolitan museum of art in New York
👏🏽🙌🏽✨
@ 20:20 in this vid. Sculptor look modern San Fransisco
Where will this exhibition travel to?
❤
its a marvelous exhibition but would be even more so if all the pieces were returned to their origins.
Since the artwork revolves around the night sky I believe the spots on the two drawings of the 2 men on the plate correspond to constellations or stars. It's just my theory.
Cool
Are all those originals ?
We're finding these things on our property here in usa.
Unlikely
Why is Ixchel not mentioned

Towering works of the imagination. Conflation of Gods with Kings barely erodes their power.

Were these items looted or bought?
Maybe borrowed from museums in the native countries? [eye roll]
If you had listened to the video they say that pieces were borrowed from museums in Mexico, Honduras, and Belize.
Only four codices survive because the rest were destroyed by the invasion of Europeans, specifically Spanish priests and conquistadors. They destroyed and pillaged.
Music is distracting, interferes with speech

Stolen Art, nice isn’t it.
Wait till they discover that Hebrew Cosmology is true.
How is this relevant?
"Austrian English" is painful to listen to. The exhibition looks wonderful but I don't have the patience to endure Max Hollein's enunciation.
You clearly didnt watch past a minute. 95% of the video was an interview between a curator and Yale professor.
Get rid of that thinking!
You'll miss out on much.
I know about this.
