2005 Atlantic hurricane season - Tropical Storm Arlene.
Early in the season, a low-pressure area formed and persisted north of Honduras. Despite moderate wind shear, the low managed to organize, and was designated Tropical Depression One on June 8. It was upgraded to Tropical Storm Arlene the following day. Arlene headed north, intensifying steadily as it spread tropical storm-force winds and heavy rains to the Cayman Islands and Cuba. Arlene made landfall in Cuba near Cabo Corrientes with 50 mph (80 km/h) winds. ...

| | | | | Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Antonio López de Santa Anna - Later years After some time in exile in the United States, and after meeting with US president Andrew Jackson in 1837, he was allowed to return to Mexico to retire to his hacienda.
In 1838, Santa Anna saw a chance to redeem himself when French forces invaded Mexico in the Pastry War. He engaged the French at Veracruz and was hit in the leg by a cannon ball during the skirmish. His ankle was shattered and resulted in the amputation of his leg. He ordered the limb buried with full military honors, and from then on at public events he would ride on ...

| | | | | Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Hernán Cortés - Beginning his campaign In 1519, Cortés fled Cuba (some say in the middle of the night) with 11 ships, 500 men, and 15 horses. They stopped briefly in the Yucatán, where there was little gold, but the priceless gift of two translators. One of these was the woman whom Cortes called Dona Marina, sometimes called "La Malinche," later made legendary in book and film (even if she was not, as conquistador Bernal Diaz del Castillo wrote in his account "The True History of the Conquest of New Spain," an Aztec princess sold into Mayan slavery). The other was a shipwrecked ...

| | | | | | Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - History of the world - Hunter-Gatherers The earliest available evidence places the origin of modern Homo sapiens in Africa about 200,000 years ago during the Palaeolithic period. This occurred after a long period of evolution. Ancestors of humans, such as Homo erectus, had been using simple tools for many millennia, but as time progressed, tools became far more refined and complex. Humans also developed language sometime during the Paleolithic period, as well as a conceptual repertoire that included systematic burial of the dead and adornment of the living. During this period, all huma ...

| | | | | | | Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Flag of Mexico - History Before the adoption of the first national flag, various flags used during the War of Independence from Spain had a great influence on the design of the first national flag. Although it was never adopted as an official flag, many historians consider the first Mexican flag to be the Standard of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which was carried by Miguel Hidalgo during the Grito de Dolores on September 16, 1810.[8] The Standard became the initial symbol of the rebel army during the Mexican War of Indepen ...

| | | | | Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Cannibalism - Cannibalism among humans It is generally accepted that accusations of cannibalism have historically been much more common than the act itself. Queen Isabella of Spain decreed that conquistadores could not enslave any Indian tribes they encountered unless they practiced cannibalism. This meant that the incidence of cannibalism was wildly exaggerated and in most cases invented. The Carib tribe acquired a longstanding reputation as cannibals due to this, whereas in fact modern research has found no trace of the practice. During the years of British colonial expansion, ...

| | | | | Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg - Dispatched to Quebec A year previously he had come to the attention of the Canadian Abbé, Léon Gingras, whom he had met (and apparently impressed) in Rome. Abbé Gingras made entreaties to his friend and colleague the vicar-general of Quebec, Abbé Charles-Félix Cazeau, to have Brasseur de Bourbourg assigned to a position in the seminary there. Correspondence began in late 1844, with Abbé Gingras pressing his claims that the seminary "...move heaven and earth to ensure that such a splendid bird does n ...

Demographics of Mexico - Mestizos.
The largest ethnic group is the mestizos, constituting approximately 60% of Mexico's population. Mestizos are people of mixed Native American and European heritage. The most of the Mexican mestizos may be originally half Aztec & half Spanish.
Demographics of Mexico - Native Americans.
Unmixed Native American peoples make up the second-largest group; official statistics put them at 10% of the population, but many believe the figure to be cl ...

| | | | | Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Chicxulub Crater - Discovery In early 1990, Alan R. Hildebrand, a graduate student at the University of Arizona, visited a small mountain village named Beloc in Haiti. He was investigating certain K-T deposits that include thick, jumbled deposits of coarse rock fragments, which were apparently scoured up from one location and deposited elsewhere by kilometers-high tsunami, giant sea waves, that most likely resulted from an Earth impact. Such deposits occur in many locations, but s ...

| | | | | | Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Mexico - History Main article: History of Mexico
Mexico - Pre-Hispanic Times.
Hunter-Gatherer peoples are thought to have discovered and inhabited Mexico more than 28,000 years ago. Ancient Mexicans began to selectively breed corn plants around 8,000 B.C. Evidence shows the explosion of pottery works by 2300 B.C. and the beginning of intensive farming between 1800 and 1500 BC.
For more than 3,000 years, Mexico was the site of several Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Aztec, the Olmec, Teotihuacan, the Tolt ...

Indigenous peoples of the Americas - The Bering Strait Land Bridge Theory.
Based on anthropological and genetic evidence, scientists generally agree that most indigenous peoples of the Americas descend from people who migrated from Siberia across the Bering Strait, between 17,000–11,000 years ago.
The exact epoch and route is still a matter of controversy, as is whether it happened at all. Until recently there was a ...

| | | | | Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Quetzalcoatl - The cult The worship of Quetzalcoatl sometimes included animal sacrifices, and in other traditions Quetzalcoatl was said to oppose human sacrifice.
Mesoamerican priests and kings would sometimes take the name of a deity they were associated with, so Quetzalcoatl and Kukulcan are also the names of historical persons. The reason being that Quetzalcoatl called twelve to reign in his stead after he left the people of the Yucatan. He also called one man, who he gave his rights, privileges and powers to administer in his religious duti ...

| | | | | Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Lycanthropy - Spiritual and supernatural implications of lycanthropy Lycanthropy is often confused with transmigration; but the essential feature of the were-animal is that it is the alternative form or the double of a living human being, while the soul-animal is the vehicle, temporary or permanent, of the spirit of a dead human being. The vampire is sometimes regarded as an example of lycanthropy; but it is in human form, sometimes only a head, sometimes a whole body, sometimes that of a living pers ...

His linguistic and archaeological fieldwork, as well as his diligent collection, discovery and republication of source materials proved to be highly useful for subsequent Mesoamerican researchers and scholars. The interpretations and theories he personally advanced mostly proved to be inaccurate.

| | | | | Yucatán: Encyclopedia II - Cannibalism - Cannibal themes in myth, religion or arts On a primitive level, ritually eating part of the slaughtered enemy is a way of assuming the life-spirit of the departed. In a funeral ritual this may also be done with a respected member of one's own clan, ensuring immortality. Cannibal ogresses appear in folklore around the world, the witch in 'Hansel and Gretel' being the most immediate example.
The opening of Hell, the Zoroastrian contribution to Western mythology, is a mouth. According to Catholic dogma, bread and wine are transubstantiated into the real flesh and blood of Jesus, ...
