Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Namaste Isabella, We should all be reminded that the Mayan culture had already disappeared by the time the Spanish came to the Americas. At that time, a certain Bishop Landa was collecting the history and language of the Mayas. He himself attempted to translate the Mayan language. However, he also determined that the Mayan texts that he had in his possession contained many subjects that were contrary to his Christian beliefs. As such, he burned most of the Mayan texts. To a certain extent, we are fortunate to have some texts preserved since he sent one or two original Mayan manuscripts to the Spanish king at the time. I too am fascinated by the Mayan language which is based on pictographs. Most recently, an American linguist has been able to decipher the Mayan texts through his research of available evidence and interviews with the descendants of the Mayas who are still living and speaking a form of the original language in the Yucatan Peninsula. For speculations regarding the culture, you should read Zeccharia Sitchin's book about the Mayas. He is saying that the Mayan culture was derived from advanced extraterristrials who had visited and lived on earth millions of years ago. These same visitors were the ones who influenced the cultures of Mesopotamia and Egypt.
