Secrets of the Maya Culture Many people have heard the legend of the Mayan culture. During this time, the impression most people to not be separated from the Mayan jungle atmosphere in the Americas. Touching on the Mayans, who crossed in the minds of some people is a group of Indians who wear fur over her brilliant colors, spinning around the circle in the moonlight conduct mysterious ceremonies, in the midst of learning magic shaman standing tall.
That is true, the Mayans lived in Central America today, the mysterious legacy of history is in the remote jungles and lonely, even so, there are some people who know, that the Mayans had a very close relationship with the peoples of China and the Mongols in another hemisphere away. Giant stone relics and works of Mayan art most high, far exceeding today's technology prowess. Let us remove the prejudices and perceptions that have already embedded, dive back to the former residence life and the Mayans, to see how and whether in fact the nation and the Mayan culture.
The discovery process
The Spanish entry into South America in the 16th century, with their aggressor status of the original colonizing this land. Population of Central and South America when it was a primitive life as a farmer, they are entirely powerless against powerful ships and cannons of the Spanish. And quickly, the Spanish spread their religion to the area, two missionaries who see witchcraft superstition and local residents, set fire to the place immediately, resulting in an ancient book hidden fire destroyed everything.
Not alleged that these books are books which record the heritage of knowledge of ancient relics of Mayan culture that has long disappeared, carrying within it a detailed level of knowledge and culture they are supreme in those days. Maybe this is destiny, now scientists are investigating the Mayan culture could only describe the greatness of Mayan culture was based on a patchwork of pieces of script that was compiled.
Giant Rocks in the Forest
Mayan pyramid is essentially a second building of the famous pyramid after pyramid in Egypt. Both types of pyramid building was seen as being so similar, the color is golden yellow pyramids of Egypt, a pyramid-shaped four-cone angle, slightly eroded after centuries of wind and rain. Mayan Pyramid little lower, compiled from a giant rock is gray and white, not all conical, at its peak there was a hall for the worship of deities. All around the Mayan pyramids each have four steps, each staircase has 91 steps, a total of four units plus one ladder steps amount to the very top is 365 steps (91 x 4 + 1 = 365), precisely the number of days in one year.
Mayan astrology is concerned, both inside and outside the building it is a number associated with the legal circulation of celestial bodies. In addition to the number of steps of the staircase, on the fourth part of each pyramid there are 52 pieces relief of four corners, signifying a century Mayan is 52 years.
Mayan astronomical observatory also has a very specific form of the building. Viewed from the standpoint of the present, are functional as well as the outer shape of the Mayan observatory observatory is very similar to the present, as an example Kainuoka observatory tower observers, on the beautiful terrace and very big on the tower, there are small steps leading to terraced to the porch. There are some similarities with the observatory now, also a low-level buildings that form a circular tube, at the top there is a half ball-shaped dome, the dome is in the design of the observatory now is where to stick astronomical binoculars.
Four low door in the floor of the right leads to the fourth position. Window in place to form relationships with six lines front verandah, at least three of them dealing with astronomy. One was related to spring (autumn), while the other two activities associated with the moon.
Kainuoka observatory tower observer is the largest relic of history, other historical relics which also has a similar structure. Everything is in a position closer together with the sun and moon. In recent years archaeologists assumed that the Mayan astronomer in ancient astronomy has built a network of observers in each region.
Assessed in the present, the buildings are quite stunning. Mayan Pyramid for example, how do I cut the very large rocks, transported to distant places in the jungle, which weighs tens of tons of rocks, piled up to reach 70 meters high, if not supported by the conveyance and equipment in place, it is extremely difficult to resolve job. And ethnic groups living in the jungle, why should exert enormous effort and energy, building an observatory observer network? Judging from history, the new telescope discovered in the 16th century by Galileo, then the large size of the observatory appeared, and the new observatory observer network concept emerged in the modern era. At that time such a concept to say it was very advanced and sophisticated.
Lost In The Shooting Gazette written a brilliant culture of the Mayans unt uk human history, we have seen the level of elegance. Archaeologists regard, the Mayan culture should be gradually formed since the year 2000 BC to 250 AD, after the year 250 AD until the year 900 AD, it entered the golden age of culture, and in the 7th century and 8, entered a period of very wealthy and prosperous.
The earliest Mayan writing comes ahead of and around the CE, but the first stone inscriptions unearthed records showing who wrote in 292 AD Since then, the Mayans made only limited spread in the area. And the chronicle AD after the mid-fifth century, a new Mayan writings thoroughly dispersed to all the Maya area. For example last stone inscription was completed in 869 AD, and the last stone inscriptions in the entire region was completed in 909 AD Maya
According to research data: "One day in the year 909 AD, for no apparent reason, 80% of ancient Mayan people suddenly disappeared, not only leave an unfinished temple was built, even a large number of hall of gods and a giant model of all buildings abandoned , buried in the rubble of a collapsed wall. All the worship center was also halted its activities. Then, since that day, the wisdom of ancestors disappear very quickly, and the Mayans left behind began to turn into blind knowledge and moral decline.
"From the evidence of research scientists, we can provide a rational explanation: After experiencing a high cultural development, because development of material culture, ancient Mayan life gradually declined, to the moral degeneration of society. Then some of which is still called the ancestral wisdom that, in reality is a group of people who have fallen in moral decline, they encourage the development of something not good, making all the ancient Mayan society leads to extinction!
Although there are a number of remaining documents, but very difficult for us to ensure the terrible events of what actually happened in the year 909 AD, the various versions of hypotheses about the extinction of the Maya, such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, disasters or other opinions about the plague , mass poisoning, infectious diseases, the population swells even said, repeatedly burning the forest to grow crops which resulted in arid lands, or economic disaster, said even the invasion of the enemy, intercity wars, peasant uprisings and social problems such as mass suicide, and Other opinions are countless.
Whatever the cause is not important at all, the point is once again history has maintained a good and simple people, whereas the term "blind knowledge and moral decline" is used to describe descendants of the Mayans, is merely a rule which is seen by human eyes today, very naive and well as ignorant, not knowing the pursuit of profit brings despair. The question is why human history was again recorded the disappearance of humanity known as "ancestral wisdom"?
