Extraterrestre le pide construir una pirámide en el desierto de Coahuila... ¡Y la construye! El mundo que habitaba Mundo se estaba desmoronando.
Muchos veían aparatos voladores en el cielo, pocos creían sobre la existencia de una aparición de otra galaxia que exigía una construcción de algo que ni siquiera conocían en el desierto norteño. A menudo preguntaban cómo se llamaba la aparición, quién era ese que hablaba del universo y sus estrellas. En una de tantas visitas, el extraterrestre agarró una piedra del suelo, con los dedos dibujó una forma parecida a una serpiente que no se quedó plasmada, y pidió descifrar sus trazos. En el momento que lograra comprender, sabría su nombre. Mundo sólo enseñaba la piedra a quien preguntara mayores detalles. Discovery of stone monument at El Perú-Waka’ adds new chapter to ancient Maya history.
Archaeologists tunneling beneath the main temple of the ancient Maya city of El Perú-Waka’ in northern Guatemala have discovered an intricately carved stone monument with hieroglyphic text detailing the exploits of a little-known sixth-century princess whose progeny prevailed in a bloody, back-and-forth struggle between two of the civilization’s most powerful royal dynasties, Guatemalan cultural officials announced July 16.
“Great rulers took pleasure in describing adversity as a prelude to ultimate success,” said research director David Freidel, PhD, a professor of anthropology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. “Here the Snake queen, Lady Ikoom, prevailed in the end.” Freidel, who is studying in Paris this summer, said the stone monument, known officially as El Perú Stela 44, offers a wealth of new information about a “dark period” in Maya history, including the names of two previously unknown Maya rulers and the political realities that shaped their legacies. Discovered Mayan structures used to observe solstices. MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican archaeologists say they have determined that the ancient Mayas built watchtower-style structures atop the ceremonial ball court at the temples of Chichen Itza to observe the equinoxes and solstices, and they said Friday that the discovery adds to understanding of the many layers of ritual significance that the ball game had for the culture.
The structures sit atop the low walls of the court, where the Mayas played a game that consisted, as far as experts can tell, of knocking a heavy, latex ball with their elbows, knees or hips, through a stone ring set in the walls. The bases of the structures — essentially, look-out boxes set atop the walls, each one with a small slit running through it —had been detected before, but archaeologist hadn't been sure what they were used for.
Since the ball court was built around 864 A.D., the boxes and the stairs leading to them had crumbled. Huchim said he knew of no similar structures at other Mayan ball courts. Maya Gods and Kings, photo gallery. Maya Cosmological Creation. Maya Cosmological Creation Anthony Garone March, 2006 When constructing a Mayan home, a shaman is called upon to set the mathematical foundation from which it is built.
In addition to mathematical constructs, the center of each home contains a simple hearth. The hearth is composed of three stones in a triangular formation, which contain a fire at its center to both warm the home and cook meals. The significance of this hearth is twofold in that it also represents a place of creation set in the heavens by the Maya maize god, Hun-Nal-Yeh over 5000 years ago. Three stars in the constellation of Orion (Alnitak, Saiph and Rigel), form a triangle emanating from Alnitak (the belt star) surrounding the Orion nebulae which is the birth-place of stars. The Orion Nebulae - birthplace of stars Before we fix our eyes on the heavens, we need to look to the past and the mythology of the Maya people to fully appreciate the beautiful pageantry played out in the celestial sphere.

Archaeologist Discovers Mysterious Ancient Maya Citadel. First uncovered through remote sensing, the jungle-shrouded complex has archaeologists both perplexed and amazed.
For three decades, archaeologist Anabel Ford has been exploring and studying the ancient Maya site of El Pilar, but until now she has never encountered anything like the ‘Citadel’. “We discovered a completely new component of the greater site that does not meet with any traditional expectations,” said Ford.
“It shares nothing in common with Classic Maya centers: no clear open plaza, no cardinal structure orientation, and curiously no evident relationship to the major Classic site of El Pilar, little more that 600 meters away.

One group belongs to the classic Maya Period and was built between the 7th and 10th centuries A.D., at which time the city became a prominent ceremonial center.

Las pirámides mayas se destacan como uno de los logros arquitectónicos más impresionantes del mundo antiguo.
Diseñadas con precisión y requiriendo un enorme esfuerzo humano para su construcción, cuentan la historia de una sociedad altamente organizada, con logros únicos en el lenguaje, la astronomía y las matemáticas.
