Inaugural Lecture: Lives of the Gods Divinity in Maya Art

[@Mayan.Embodiment]

Lovely compilation! At @26:13 we are talking about the creation of the New World and the start of the Long Count in 3114 BC, which ended on December Solstice, 2012, a 5,125 year cycle that is exactly 1/5 of the Precession of the Equinoxes, and exactly 144,000 days long, or 7,200 cycles of the 260-day Tzolk' een calendar.

I fell in love with Maya art whe i visited Chichen Itza and Cobà.

[@sonarbangla8711]

Maya art is so fascinating and rich, at one time I was convinced they had a number of Picassos, more impressive and versatile.

[@kraz007]

Actually... Picasso was inspired by African tribal masks. So you could say we got one talented tribal artist, Picasso, and the Maya had multiple....

Maybe we could not hear the audience well, or they were all sitting on pegs to keep them in their seats. I truly appreciate your passion and humor making this lecture bearable, even enjoyable. I love everything about all of this art, I just have trouble listening to those who think they know all the answers. This speaker was easy to listen to! Very clear, and artistic. I wonder if he writes books. Point is I appreciate a good story teller. Before I sound gay, I will digress.

I wonder if the firefly holding the cigar in the codex style vessels with Chak, jaguar baby, and death are referencing back or at least alluding to the popol vuh?

Guatemala heart of the Mayan world 🇬🇹

[@themarquis336]

No te engañes, todo lo realmente importante estuvo y sigue estando en México.

[@chrisr6142]

Guatemala es un invento geografico Nahua. El estado nacion de Guatemala no tiene nada que ver con los Mayas antiguos.

Hi, where can we get the exhibition catalog? Online?

[@charlesb5333]

It is interesting how there are parallels between Asia and civilizations of the America's. Koreans and I believe Chinese see a rabbit on the moon

How can I by the catalogue? I live in Mexico

Everytime I see a broad Maya headdress it looks like a fan palm, or the top of its tree.

The socalled deities were ETs who did gene manipulation thus the word creation.

@@nickidaisydandelion4044 but it’s Like the Christians who have been saying that since Jesus died. He’s coming back! They been saying it for 2,000 years. He still ain’t back! It could be in 100 years 1,000 years or 10,000 years. Unless you have any hard evidence about when or where it just ruins our culture

@@nickidaisydandelion4044 Correct. We are all reincarnated back into other human beings. The bad thing is bad people reincarnate back into humans too. Thats why earth never sees peace.
