"Exciting video! Awesome trailer!" This is the third in a series of updates that will explain how the slides in the video trailer of "The Lost Calendar of the Maya: The Return of Kukulkan" are connected to the story line. Subscribe to this blog or follow it and you will get each background story as it is published.
The video trailer link appears below in case you have not yet seen it.
This image shows how Catherwood and Stephens found the Temple of Kukulkan, or El Castillo, at Chichen-Itza. Notice how grown over the pyramid is, and how the Kukulkan serpent heads are scattered on the ground around the ruins. No one at that time knew anything was inside this ruined Mayan temple.
The next slide is a common representation of a ""Mayan Calendar" but is in fact only a representation of the Mayan time carrier in the center, carrying the glyph "Ahau", and showing glyphs around the edge that were used for counting time.
This is a relatively recent commercial design and does not date from the ancient Maya history. The design is fairly popular and can be found on everything from T-shirts to ash trays.
These two slides show representations of the Mayas that are somewhat famous, and yet do not truly represent the Maya, but are impressions of others of what they found.
What do we really need to know about the Maya and their culture that is authentic to their prophecies, their designs, and to their achievements? Read the new fiction novel "The Lost Calendar of the Maya" to find out.
