| | | | | | Mayan Civilization: Encyclopedia II - Olmec mythology - Jaguar The Olmec carved distinctive human figures in stone, some of monumental size. Smaller items were carved from fine jade and jadeite, including many human figures with strong jaguar features. As the jaguar was an indigenous predator in the area, jaguar figures may visually represent an Olmec myth about the interaction of the jaguar or a jaguar spirit with human beings. In this myth, a jaguar may have copulated with a human female and thus given rise to these "were-jaguars," represented as both young children and male adults. These figures, wit ...

| | | | | Mayan Civilization: Encyclopedia II - History of sport - Pre-history Some discoveries sources date from over 30,000 years ago, as established by carbon dating. These modern discoveries are from France, Africa, and Australia in the form of prehistoric cave art which provide evidence of ritual ceremonial behaviour (an example is Lascaux). Stone-age drawings were discovered in the Libyan desert depicting among other activities, swimming and archery.[1] The art itself is an example of interest in skills unrelated to the functional tasks of staying alive, and is itself evidence of there being leisure time availabl ...

| | | | | | Mayan Civilization: Encyclopedia II - Francisco Hernández de Córdoba discoverer of Yucatán - The supposed etymology of Yucatán and the more probable etymology of Catoche This moment in which the Indians came up to the Spanish boats and accepted strings of green beads and other trifles fashioned for this purpose was one of the few peaceful contacts that Hernández's group had with the Indians, and even these gestures of peace were feigned on the part of the Indians. These contacts of March 4 may have been the birth of the toponyms Yucatán and Catoche, whose surprising and amusing history — perhaps too amusing to be true — is often cited. Be it history or legend, the story is that the Spania ...

| | | | | | Mayan Civilization: Encyclopedia II - Maya peoples - Guatemala In Guatemala, the largest and most traditional Maya populations are in the western highlands.
In Guatemala the Spanish colonial pattern of keeping the native population legally separate and subservient continued well into the 20th century. This resulted in many traditional customs being retained, as the only other option than traditional Maya life open to most Maya was entering the Hispanic culture at the very bottom rung.
Considerable identification with tribes, often corresponding to pre-Columbian nation states, continues, an ...

| | | | | Mayan Civilization: Encyclopedia II - Tz'utujil - The Tz'utujil People The Tz'utujil date from the post-classic period (circa 900-1500 ) of the Maya civilization, inhabiting the southern watershed of Lake Atitlán, in the Solola region of the Guatemalan highlands.

| | | | | Mayan Civilization: Encyclopedia II - Francisco Hernández de Córdoba discoverer of Yucatán - Consequences of the discovery of Yucatán The discovery of El Gran Cairo, in March 1517, was without a doubt a crucial moment in the Spanish perception of the natives of the Americas: until then, nothing had resembled the stories of Marco Polo, or the promises of Columbus, which prophesied Cathay, or even the Garden of Paradise, just past every cape or river. Even more than the later encounters with the Aztec and Inca cultures, El Gran Cairo resembled the conquistadores' dream. When the news arrived in Cuba, the Spaniards gave new energy to their imaginations, creating ...
