Made Up of Time: The Mayan Ruins of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize & Honduras

Mark Leger. "The Maya, sons of the days, are made up of time," Eduardo Galleano recently wrote. He was referring to two things: their brilliant traditional calendars, products of astronomical knowledge until recently unrivaled by any other culture. And the Mayan ability to endure. The Mayan ruins of central America are from cities that fell into decline long before Columbus. But many of the traditions reflected in the architecture and art from these sites live on in the modern Mayan world."

Maya Archaeology

Foundation for Latin American Anthropological Research (FLAAR). "Maya-archaeology.org covers Mayan, Olmec, Teotihuacan art, architecture, deities, hieroglyphic writing and the latest digital photography, 35mm film and flatbed scanner technology for recording the artifacts and pyramid-temple and palace architectural remains of these fascinating ancient civilizations."

Mayan Epigraphic Database Project

"The Mayan Epigraphic Database Project (MED) is an experiment in networked scholarship with the purpose of enhancing Classic Mayan epigraphic research. At present, MED consists of a relational database of glyphs ("gnumbers"), images, phonetic values ("pvalues"), and semantic values ("svalues") according to the consensus among various American Mayanists (MacLeod and Reents-Budet 1994). Also present is the beginning of an archive of digitally transcribed Mayan texts."

Mayan Photo Adventures

"Hello, welcome to Maya Photo Adventures. My name is John C. Mureiko and the Maya webpages I have put together are a reflection of my travels around the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. A great way for me to start my traveling adventures was to visit the Maya Ruins of Chichen Itza with my camera at my side."

Thresholds. Photographs from Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala

"My search for realization of vision has taken many turns during my lifetime. These turns have been the result of a combination of survival instincts and desire for expression. The secret always seemed to be in discovering a voice that came directly out of my experience. As a child I kept trying to find a way to fit in with the world around me, but that world wasn't the one I knew and lived in. My world was a landscape of metaphor, symbol and myth."
