Legal Opinion on Guatemala's Territorial Claim to Belize The President was reminded that his duties concerned the settlements of Rio Tinto and Laguna Azul, under the jurisdiction of Guatemala, and not those of the eastern coast of Yucatán that depended upon the Governor of Campeche. In 1798 Field-Marshal Arthur O'Neill, Governor of Yucatán, launched the last major attack on the settlements but was defeated in the battle of St. George's Key on 16 September 1798.

The Chilam Balam Language of figures* and their understanding for our Governor Marshal [of Yucatán in 1604-1612], that is established in Tzuc-Uaxim, to the east of Ichcaansihó, there where there was land to take in order to have his orchard and his plot established there. With the arrival of Nahuan groups to the Mayan area at the start of the Postclassical Period, Quetzalcóatl was identified with the plumed serpent already existent for many centuries, and he was venerated mainly in Chichén Itzá by the name of Kukulcán, who also means plumed serpent. The mythical and prophetic writings are rendered in an archaic language, highly symbolic and multivocal, employing metaphorical objects, colors and natural beings to express ideas; besides, there is an abundant use of synthetic formulas, through which the texts have an esoteric or secret character that seeks to hide from the profane its true meaning. myweb.cableone.net /subru/Chilam.html   (11886 words)
