	History in Review - The Maya and Teotihuacan - Reinterpreting Early Classic Interaction
		The essays are, however, unified by their common theme of exploring the interactions between the Mayan and the Teotihuacan.
		This evidence also expands our knowledge regarding the full extent of the economic, social, and political interactions that occurred between the early classic Maya and the Teotihuacan empire, and the consequences of these interactions.
		The Maya and Teotihuacan - Reinterpreting Early Classic Interaction is an ideal reference guide to Early Classic Mayan culture.

	Introduction to Arithmetic: Numbers and History of Numbers
		The long usage of Roman numerals could be due to a number of factors, including the widespread influence of the Roman Empire, the force of tradition, and the fact that the system had many advantages over other European systems of the time.
		The numerical notation for small numbers was quite simple; one was represented by a short, straight, vertical stroke, or wedge, two to nine by two to nine short strokes, 10 by an angle, and 100 by a short vertical wedge followed by a short horizontal wedge (see Diagram 4).
		The cumbersome Roman numerals were inadequate for writing out the large and complicated numbers used in astronomy and, increasingly, in other branches of science, and the invention in the early 17th century of logarithms finally ended their use.

	Introduction to the Mayan Calendar
		The calendar system known as the Julian calendar was established by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C., which was the year 709 of the Roman Empire.

		The term Sacred Calendar, however, is often used to denote the multiple interrelated systems, ie., the entire framework of cycles.

	World Mysteries - Mystic Places: Teotihuacan
		This video explores how the Aztec and Mayan empires rose to startling heights and then mysteriously collapsed.
		Military empires, such as the Toltecs in the twelfth century AD (and later the Aztecs, starting in fourteenth century AD), which grew up from these warring factions were the cultures met by the Spanish in 1519 and largely eradicated by 1521.
		The Mayans and Aztecs developed complex and intelligent societies, and much of their culture is still mysterious to us, but this video does a good job of explaining the basic history of who these people were and how they lived.

	RECOLLECTIONS OF A FALLEN SKY - VELIKOVSKY AND CULTURAL AMNESIA : CHAPTER :
		This is a very long existence for an empire with hegemony, both political and cultural, over the peoples around it; and the myth of the original gathering at Tula during the long night was undoubtedly one of the sources on which its claim to hegemony was based.
		It has been speculated that their rise to brilliance followed the fall of the Teotihuacano-Tulan empire in the fifth century, and their classical period is known to be from the fifth century to the ninth.
		Unfortunately the symbolic language of the religion which unified the Tulan empire is not yet fully intelligible to us; we keep having to work back through later strata to get any glimpse of it at all.

	Mayan Majix - Articles - The Return Of The Draft, A Bipartisan Production
		The logic of empire requires more boots on the ground, and conscription looks like the only way to get them.
		A Kerry administration would therefore be subject to the same imperial logic that guides Bush -- and, on a purely pragmatic level, the former war hero and Vietnam protester would be a far more credible advocate for conscription.
		At this writing the US military is deeply mired in Iraq, fighting a brutal war of counterinsurgency that has stretched the 1.4-million strong, all-volunteer military to the limit.
