The Cosquer Cave (Marseille, France) was discovered in 1985 by a diver, Henri Cosquer, deep under the sea (the original entrance is about 115 feet below present-day sea level) but its paintings were not mentioned until 1991 after three divers died in the cave when they got lost. The gallery slopes up for about 360 feet under water before reaching a huge chamber that partly remained above the sea and where many prehistoric paintings and engravings are preserved on the walls, as well as remains on the ground (charcoal from fires and torches, a few flint tools). This is the only painted cave in the world with an entrance below present-day sea level where cave art has been preserved from the flooding that occurred when the seas rose after the end of the last glaciation (Clottes & Courtin 1994, 1996).

Le Popol Vuh des anciens Mayas-Quichés Le Popol Vuh est le Livre Sacré des Anciens Mayas-Quichés. Comme la Bible (ou la Torah), ce Livre Sacré décrit la création du Monde. Comme l'Ancien Testament, il parle d'un Paradis Perdu et de la Connaissance dont l'humanité fut exclue. Il fait aussi, comme la Bible (ou la Torah), un récit très précis d'une grande catastrophe, analogue au Déluge, et qui serait survenue sur la Terre à l'époque des anciens Mayas. Enfin, comme le Livre des Morts et les Textes des Pyramides de l'Egypte antique, il explique la réincarnation des morts en étoiles. Le Popol Vuh est un document très important tant sur le plan historique, que littéraire et religieux. Comme la Torah (ou la Bible issue de la Torah), le Popol Vuh raconte la création du Monde. Le Popol Vuh fait un rapport détaillé de la façon dont notre planète a été terraformée au moment de la Création (comme aujourd'hui l'homme du 21ème siècle envisage de terraformer la planète Mars) : Cette nudité est-elle réelle ou symbolique ? Qu'en conclure ?
Menu: MayaPages Organized by Topic Point Communications (now defunct) rated this section in its version of the top 5% of all websites. I am not happy about this, because I think their Review is racist. Here's what they said that really shocked me: "An interview with 1992 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Rigoberta Menchu Tum is the only spot where this site gets a little strident: 'For me, to celebrate the twelfth of October is the absolute expression of triumphism, occupation and presumptuousness, and I think that history will remember those that celebrate it,' she huffs. But the remainder of the site is purely educational...." . Oh really, Miigwetch, you racists. Rigoberta, as many must surely know, had her whole family slaughtered, and she herself was raped and tortured and left for dead by the genocidal military regime of Guatemala, which attempted to prevent her Nobel award and has made many attempts to assassinate her. I recommend her autobiography, I, Rigoberta if you can find it nowadays.
List of "diseases" of black slaves, including the one that makes them want to escape. So diseased, those blacks. DRAPETOMANIA, OR THE DISEASE CAUSING NEGROES TO RUN AWAY. It is unknown to our medical authorities, although its diagnostic symptom, the absconding from service, is well known to our planters and overseers... In noticing a disease not heretofore classed among the long list of maladies that man is subject to, it was necessary to have a new term to express it. According to my experience, the "genu flexit"--the awe and reverence, must be exacted from them, or they will despise their masters, become rude and ungovernable, and run away. If treated kindly, well fed and clothed, with fuel enough to keep a small fire burning all night--separated into families, each family having its own house--not permitted to run about at night to visit their neighbors, to receive visits or use intoxicating liquors, and not overworked or exposed too much to the weather, they are very easily governed--more so than any other people in the world. back
Popol Vuh Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Première page de la plus vieille version écrite du Popol Vuh (manuscrit entre 1701 et 1703 par Francisco Ximénez). Le Popol-Vuh (également retranscrit Pop Wuh ou Popol Wu'uj à partir de l'expression quiché signifiant littéralement « livre de la natte »[1], généralement traduit par « Livre du Conseil » ou « Livre de la Communauté »[2]) est un texte mythologique maya rédigé en quiché à l'époque coloniale. C'est le document le plus important dont nous disposons sur les mythes de la civilisation maya. Il s'agit d'une sorte de « Bible » maya dont le contenu, remontant à la période précolombienne, relate l'origine du monde et plus particulièrement du peuple quiché, l'une des nombreuses ethnies mayas, dont le centre de rayonnement se situait dans la partie occidentale du Guatemala actuel. Le seul manuscrit existant, transcrit entre 1701 et 1703 par Francisco Ximénez, est conservé à la Newberry Library de Chicago (Ayer 1515 ms)[4].
