Habits of the Mayan people

The rights in the ancient Mayan civilization believed to be gaps in the forest rocks containing high-purity water, what is the only gateway to the underworld and the throne of the God of rain that threatens the universe and to be always calm him down Baqraben mankind.
Now, these gaps are deep sinkholes in limestone that have pools at the bottom, are yielding scientific discoveries including possibly the means to treat cancer.

 In the Riviera Maya, a strip of tourist resorts in the Caribbean, including the famous archaeological site of Tulum, there are more than 500 cenotes, some carried out into the woods while the other gaps have holes too small, such as eye opening letting in sunlight and the roots of trees.
 
The divers take to the cenotes, which stud the Yucatan peninsula to the discovery of a huge network of underground rivers.
And enables divers to monitor up to now 650 km of channels that are part of Delta, a huge underground river flows into the Caribbean, which was considered just the beginning

Scientists are investigating the network of caves and galleries, formed by rainwater passing through the porous limestone and found a wealth of monuments and animal bones from the prehistoric period.
Scientists have been monitoring in recent years, 40 kinds of new objects, most of the shrimp and fish blind due to lack of light and where there is little oxygen dissolved in water and food.
They also have identified dozens of new marine species that have adapted specifically to withstand extreme environmental conditions which can be used in medical fields.

 Resistant compounds
Among the startling discoveries are microorganisms that live in the transitional zone where the fresh water rivers flow in the Caribbean and animal sponge who lives in salt water, which may contain anti-tumor compounds.
Says marine biologist from the University of Texas, Tom Iliffe in this regard "research is still in its early stages, but it is very possible that the bacteria and sponges potential biomedical applications including the treatment of cancer."
Other finds made ​​by divers who walk around in those deep, dark corridors bones of giant animals like rabbits and even mammoths dating back to before the last ice age.
Said Sam Meacham, one of the discoverers of the world beneath the earth and defenders of the environment "when we say to people that there is an underground elephants think you've gone crazy."

 The water seeped through the limestone-like sponge, making it pure, so transparent that divers say they feel like they are floating in space.
Environment, lower
The eyes of deep-water range from several meters to great depths did not reach it after the exploration by the translational distances over 150 meters deep.
He says that the environment Abelifa below are unique forms of life which includes not imagine one ever found it, and adds that there is a need for more work at home.
And environmental campaigners say that the explosive development is not adequately regulated and warn that waste produced by hotels and resorts in the region is already polluting the treasure beneath the earth

Mayan civilization
Mayan civilization was one of the greatest civilizations that lived in the region, which included central Mexico south towards Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, and Nicaragua Hondoras even Costa Rica.
The population of Mayan society organizations, were the first to develop a written language in the world, arrived at the advanced level of science, and created great buildings and monuments and the culture than the level that prevailed j different regions of the world.
Why is this civilization disappeared??

Known about the Maya that they were more people of faith need to provide human sacrifices, especially of the god Venus (Venus), who were attending him a number of boys and girls to kill them when you see the god in the sky, Venus occasions they come every twenty years.
According to their belief, the sacrifices of human as a demand from God that save them and save their civilization, to avoid the threats that surrounded Avalmanm, head Maya to astronomy, which were professors of it, and they used their knowledge of astronomy in astrology, who believed in his ability to remove threats to their civilization (or limiting them).
For this they have also developed Tquyemin, one for civilian use and the other for religious use, and they calculate the sites along the celestial bodies hundreds of years in the belief that past events have to be repeated in the future

 The days and years were a living for them, each with its own special force, either positive or negative, Venus was the god most of the destructive side, so they had to always keep calm, to provide human sacrifices .. As we know, all these rituals are very harsh in nature, not in something Tfdhm, Venhaathm came all the way ..
The population of the Mayan language of their own and were able to create great pyramids of size and multi-storey buildings, and which was also discovered that they were the first to play football in history, major cities such as Copan, Tikal and Caracol Abtalthen abandoned completely and the surrounding forests.
When you know that the Spanish civilization in the sixteenth century, the Mayans had only small groups of people who are always talking about the civilization that flourished between the years / 200 / and / 800 / AD.

What take them to the end??

 The Maya consider themselves masters of the world (at least the known world for them ..) for this they have taken over their natural resources without the expense .. Keep the ruling family and upper class of society barrier separating them from the rest of the poor people depending on the different methods, including religion, even those members of the upper class were Mfirqan among themselves in a permanent state of hostility .. All of this led to the neglect of the public interest.

Agriculture was one of the foundations of economy of the Maya in an environment that was appropriate in the beginning, and they eliminate the forests surrounding their cities to make room for agriculture, and expanded in the farming constantly, transportation difficulties made ​​access to some areas to raise crops is very difficult, they did not know the wheels, and did not use animals in shipping .. Then they focused on the farming of maize in an economy dependent on one factor similar to the oil-based economy of today.
Due to the unbalanced use of the soil and water .. Problems have not been able to find the ruling class of practical solutions, solutions resorted to religious and ritual human Kalodhyat exacerbating the problems .. Over time, drought and then became hurricanes and disease outbreaks from the permanent things happening and with it ended the confidence of citizens referees which led them to revolt in many cities.
In the end, abandoned the citizens of these cities completely .. And ended the Mayan civilization

Since more than a thousand years lived Central American ancient people called the ((Mayan)) were living in the estates is a city and a number of nearby villages, farms and the people ((Mayan)) experts in the monitoring of the planets and the stars and astronomy in general, where they discovered that the year consists of 365 solar days. They developed methods for the evaluation and mathematical calculations (which depends on the police - and the point.) Pictures and writing, and is said to include the alphabet were eight hundred characters.
Empire saw ((Mayan)) the old building boom towns. It has a large Mayan cities on the edges and built massive pyramids. They differ from the pyramids of the ancient Egyptians, Boallagha palaces and temples decorated with sparkling white coated or painted bright red. Most of the Mayan people live in simple huts adjacent small farms.

 The idols of the living Maya rituals ((religious)) loud every few months under the supervision of the priests who wear fearsome masks. Has written on the tape is long and thin core ticked from the bark of trees, and they fold them up seeming like a book and made the covers of these books from the skin of the tiger, and they write by Idan high at their ends a number of bird feathers, dipped in ((coating)) is made from juices of some trees. The ((securities)), both paint a thin white coating in order to be valid to write the inscriptions and figures on their pages.

 Most of the people of Mayan farmers produce crops for their food, like wheat and corn, as they used to raise bees for honey and hunt animals to eat meat and were interested in planting cacao trees to work ((chocolate)) It is strange that they used cocoa beans as well as money
Evidence of a civilization Almayaal Mirador: A group of archaeologists headed by U.S. Riichard Hasn found in Guatemala Lavrio back to the year 300 BC proves that Mayan civilization was at its height in the far older than experts thought. And found that coping with a length of four meters and a height of three meters in the center of the Mirador archeological Peyton Forest in the heart of just 650 km from the capital of Guatemala.

 Saturday was introduced by Minister of Culture and Hasn Geronimo to Ancirao. And appears in this sculpture and Aeekpalanc Hunnapo son Popol Vuh, which was one of the gods believe in the Maya and are swimming in a river in the presence of "celestial monsters," said U.S. archaeologist.
Hasn added that "the piece belongs to the art of architecture and engineering, worthy of proving that the Mayans at this stage were not only farmers but also developed an advanced civilization in the ancient time than we thought." The earliest discoveries of the Mayan civilization in the Mirador at the past 200 or 150 BC, including the pyramids Danta, which is one of the most important architectural landmarks in the world.

Shown in this sculpture and Aeekpalanc Hunnapo son Popol Vuh, one of the gods, which was believed by the Maya, the two swam in a river in the presence of "celestial monsters," said U.S. archaeologist.
Hasn added that "the piece belongs to the art of engineering worthy of architecture, and proves that the Mayans at this stage were not only farmers but also developed an advanced civilization at a time Older than we thought."

 Some painters in the temple president of the city of Ponnambak, in the middle peninsula Alioukatan finished piece adaptation of the priest king Chan Moines, as a series of panels plaster wall describes one hundred and twenty-six files, and include princes, women, and children, soldiers, dancers and musicians decrees on the walls of the temple, images represent the bloody battles between the warriors and selected prisoners to sacrifice them as sacrifices to false gods, ritual ceremonies and religious celebrations categorized as forms to provide sacrificial hole consists of tongues or another part of the body, shedding the blood of this machine was submitted to the alleged

 Murals in Ponnamaak and stucco wall panels are in fact an open book shows the ancient civilization of the Maya.
Many mysterious things about the customs and traditions in this culture that has evolved through the ages spanned nearly three thousand years have passed Olgazha result of the discovery of the frescoes mural in Ponnambak, it is a civilization reached the zenith of its power between the years of two hundred and nine hundred AD, and then passed through the era of decline and fall until it petered out almost entirely one thousand and five hundred AD before the arrival of Spanish invaders

Abandoned cities and slowly swallowed by the jungle, however, has not gone away, the people who lived there, I have preferred to be deployed in the region now known peninsula Alioukatan in contemporary Mexico, where the ancient traditions of the Maya people are still present.
Old archaeologist John Lloyd Stephens during his participation in a mission to Mexico, one thousand eight hundred and forty meters, he spent months raising the tracks and times of fictional stories about a people who have mysteriously disappeared and cities overshadowed the tropical forest.

Likely to trip at temperatures ardent was very difficult and fatigue and was at times exciting, but Stevens was Mottaghza to suffer all kinds of difficulties, he had impressed in his earlier trips, the pyramids of Egypt and the ancient villages of old in Italy and the Greek temples in Athens.
While he was walking out of the forest suddenly realized that he had arrived to the land of broken trees where the ruins of "Aalenk" a city Mayanah ancient remains.
Stevens and painter architect Frederick Cather Wood, who painted some watercolors witness the city, it was clear that men with minds are able to plan the city and supported the expert is constructed, supported, such as hands, "Lamas", a literal Sntejelh finger in Balenk more than thousand years, and will accompanies us on this journey in search of fairy default certificate or evidence of the Mayan civilization

In the era of strength that Actink have reached an area of ​​more than six square miles and probably had a population of tens of thousands but most of the buildings importance is attributed to the period between six hundred and thirty-seven hundred AD, when the rule of "Be Bacall" and his son, "Chan Blhom" This palace, which is the family home property, was based in the city center on the flat with a height of thirty-three feet, palace was really just Sorouh multiple lean on each other and consisted of cellars, rooms and rooms with low ceilings and arranged around the courtyard inscriptions little prominence that adorn the walls remain to date this is despite the many colors such as yellow, green and blue have faded almost entirely

 Some pictures or symbols round shape that make up the Mayan writing was engraved on the steps of the courtyard East, while the many stone slabs along the walls decorated with pictures of the prisoners, who were high-ranking because their clothes clothes were rich.
From the western side of the palace, we can get an overview of the Royal Temple contains the engraved words.
We can see that discovery done by the world of ancient monuments, "Alberto Ruiz" inside the pyramid, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-two, in a reconstruction default, on a flat tray top discovered Alberto tunnel deep, broke through the pyramid, it was a corridor long hard lead down the tunnel blocked for centuries with tons of dirt and stones.

 After months of digging able Alberto Ruiz to pass the tunnel and connect to a room basement where he discovered a coffin stone contains the tomb of the King "Be Bacall," who lived in Balenk in seven hundred AD, since the construction and even discovered it was thought that the pyramids of the Maya was used only for worship and not places for burial.
Contained a coffin, the body of the King The burial fund saved now in the Museum "anthropology" in Mexico City, it was a rich and composed of the crown, and earrings, bracelets, rings and mask all made of gems in addition to that there were some heads made ​​of plaster, may be statues of vertical the king, "Bacall" itself on the surface of the coffin there was a limestone slab weighing almost eight tons and was carved bas describes the scene digging for centuries before that.

  The scientists tried to find the correct interpretation of the scene over the years, shows the king Bacall was sitting inside a building is not easy to select, some speculated that the object plane, or a space ship, I select the subject of seating the king as if he was driving the vehicle with his hands and feet by crane control, and was succeeded by things like a jet engine nozzles emit smoke and flames Do you mean is that the Mayans were well-informed on the techniques of modern aviation?
On the grounds that scientists have found the idea far-fetched, therefore, ruled out this kind of interpretation, and pattern low visibility is believed to describe the King Bacall is between the jaws of a snake symbolic as they were leaving the presence of the ground to start a new life in the world beneath the surface of the earth according to their beliefs legendary However Ambiguity does not solve the whole of Gaza for many of the scholars of ancient monuments.

For residents of Balenk such as "Lamas" evidence of the memorial the most important in the city are those that now form the group called with a Cross, it is composed of three buildings of rectangular shape topped with a feather helmet she temples dedicated to the worship of the gods of the Maya called this modern name launched by the first explorers error has harmed understand the code Saybah a cosmic fairy tree, I believe when the Mayan explorers as the Christian Cross

Balenk Bohramadtha painted red and surrounded by floral tropical dark green, the landscape be fully these days by the technique of reconstruction realistic was the height of the pyramid one hundred feet, was painted in red, the color of life with them, and was decorated with inscriptions stucco depicting King Bacall with god "Kappa" Protector of the ruling class, all the inscriptions prominence in the small city of buildings Balenk show that the worship of the gods they were related to social class I belong to those who are astray worshipers, for example, the god of the alleged "eco Shoah" they had a patron god of merchants

 Even the colors used in the images were subject to strict rules, Fjeld people were colored in red and the gods were called colored blue, the color of the sky, animals and plants were yellow.
Was a complex society such as the Mayan pyramid headed by the king of the illusion that he has divine powers similar to those that were at the ancient pharaohs, king comes immediately after the priests and the wealthy, at the base of the pyramid there were the rest of the population of peasants and artisans

So how goes a literal such as "Lamas" days? Deals with some flat bread Buzol, and a drink made ​​from wheat or corn for breakfast, it is necessary that the life of the city was quiet, there were no vehicles in the streets, the Maya did not know the wheels, the markets of their city's small has attracted only a few people, because it seems that people who have gardens their fruits and gardens Khaddroathm own, maybe you will hear a voice cockerel few Romans, and the call of the customers and craftsmen are selling their goods.
But these were not the case for the Lamas, who was literally a distinctive things that were manufactured were not sold in the market because they were manufactured in a very beautiful stone, the symbol of the power that the peoples of Central and South America are looking for was a longer article most expensive most precious, and only members of the wealthy class were able to buy this article and hire skilled craftsmen to Anhtwa of lovely things

 Each stone was jasper comes from the field in the valley of the River "Motagua" itself, the metal was solid hard when you manufacture a very solid, but the two characters, such as the Maya, "Lamas" succeeded in making works of art from it.
Likely that the lamas had gone to "Qichen Itza one of the richest cities in the Mayan Alioukatan, once in his life, at least, may have gone there in a long journey and perhaps while there he sold some of his works of art to the dignitaries of the city
