Lectures
Description
The ancient Maya culture of Mesoamerica has been the subject of considerable attention lately as we approach the year 2012. As perhaps the most advanced of many sophisticated indigenous cultures of this hemisphere the Maya are especially noteworthy for their achievements in glyphic writing, mathematics, astronomy and an artistic tradition of magnificent architecture, sculpture and painting.
The Maya were also great time-keepers. They utilized three different calendars and believed that time and history were cyclical. Does their conception of time portend an end to ours? Should we be getting our affairs in order and forgetting about that new diet?
What the ancient Maya had to say about 2012 will be considered in a lecture by San Miguel resident, retired professor of Humanities, Guillermo
Méndez. The lecture will also focus on Maya architecture, mathematics and painting.
All of the lecturer’s fee is donated to the Bibliotheca’s general fund.
