Welcome to Jaguar Sun! I'm Jeeni Criscenzo, the author of a novel about the ancient Maya, Place of Mirrors . Many of the people who have read my book have asked me how they can learn more about the Maya. Some readers have said that they would have enjoyed my book more if they had a map of the places I described and a glossary of the Maya words used in the story. Since Place of Mirrors is based on actual historical people and events, some readers want to know which characters are real or fictional. I spent many years researching before I wrote this novel, and continue keeping abreast of new developments in the study of the ancient Maya.

Millennium-old cities and ceremonial centers were abandoned, sculptures and inscriptions in the Maya style ceased to be produced, the immense agricultural projects that had supported the ever-growing Maya population returned to brush and jungle, and the Maya people themselves dwindled in numbers. The causes of this disastrous upheaval are still debated but various combinations of over-population, exhausted resources, grasping and inefficient government, and warfare seem to have been involved. The Maya-related sites which once dotted western El Salvador were abandoned. There followed a period of turbulent change, known as the "Post Read More Go to Site Encyclopedia Mythica: Maya mythology Votes:0 Encyclopedia Mythica™ Skip to content (access key + m) or navigation (access key + n).

The rise of the Maya began about 250 AD and at its height the Mayan civilization consisted of more than 40 cities, each with 5,000 to 50,000 citizens, with a total population of 2 million. This lasted until approx. 900 AD, after which the classical Mayan civilization began to decline, leaving their cities and ceremonial centres vacant and overgrown with jungle vegetation. Reasons for this are yet unclear; some say this is due to armed conflicts, others because the Read More Go to Site GORP - Made Up of Time - Mayan Mexico Votes:0 Sign Up | Feedback Home Destination Guides Activity Guides National Parks City Guides Outdoor Gear Adventure Vacations Campgrounds Top Adventures United States Canada Europe Mexico Caribbean Central America South America Asia Search: --> from Away.com Related Guides Palenque Vacations Palenque Hotels Palenque Flights Palenque Trips Palenque Airports Archaeology General History Introduction Mayan Mexico Maya Guatemala, Belize, Honduras Mayan Architecture Map of the Mayan World GORP Archaeology International Parks Mexico Belize Honduras Central America Top Ten Old Growth Forests from Outside Online --> Outdoors Ireland Best Road Trip Gear Essential Mexico 2007 Summer Buyer's Guide from Outside Online DESTINATIONS Made Up of Time Mayan Mexico By Mark Leger The most traditional Maya communitie Read More Go to Site HUX 576 - Key Periods and Movements, Art: Ancient Maya Votes:0 HUX 576 - Key Periods and Movements, Art: Ancient Maya This Web site requires a Frames-capable browser , such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer .

The ruins are linked to the end of the Post Classic Period, considered the last of the pre-Hispanic development of the Mayans. Mayapan is said to have been founded in 1007 by Kukulkan. Kukulkan ruled before the formation of a joined government, which lasted two hundred years. Under the leadership of Hunac Ceel, the alliance dominated the Yucatan. Although the city was founded in 1007, the city was not dominant until the 1200's after the fall of Chichen Itza. In 1194, Mayapan broke the alliance and captured Chichen Itza and Uxmal forming the League of Mayapan. The city of Mayapan was the most important center of the Maya civilization before the Read More Go to Site McClung Museum - MAYA: Portraits of a People Votes:0 MAYA : Portraits of a People 11 July 1998 - 4 January 1999 INTRODUCTION Maya.

Many prejudiced Spaniards considered these societies to be primitive; but others, who bothered to learn, soon discovered the Indians? technical efficiency, institutional complexity, and artistic creativity, as well as their superstitions and cruelty. Historical Backgrounds All American cultures originated with nomadic migrations from Asia to Alaska, across the Bering land bridge, which ceased to exist some 10,000 years ago. Scholars have placed the migrations from Asia between 13,000 and 28,000 years earlier.

The authors demonstrate how the Mayan Holy Number 1,366,560 days, known as the birth of Venus and the basis of their calendar, indicates ancient knowledge of sun spot cycles and their effect on the human race. They explore the popular myth of Quetzalcoatl and its origins in Maya ideas concerning the sun cycle. They show the links between the pre-Columbian civilizations of Central America and the Old World, in particular Egypt. Examining the archaeological record, they find further evidence for linking the origins of Mayan civilization with the mythical lost continent of Atlantis, which according to Plato Read More Go to Site Welcome to ChichÉn-ItzÁ Votes:0 Main Menu Introduction Cult of Kukulcan The Castle The Ossuary The Church Annex of the Nunnary The Nunnary Observatory Temple of the Jaguars The Ball Court Temple of the Bearded Man Platform of Skulls Platform of Eagles & Jaguars Platform of Venus Sacred Cenote Temple of the Warriors Plaza of the Thousand Columns Return to Maya Menu Fig 1.
