Topic: Mayanist

	Mayanist
		Mayanist is one of the topics in focus at Global Oneness.
		When Morley and his team first arrived in 1924 to commence their excavations, Chichen Itza was an abandoned and sprawling complex of several large ruined buildings and many smaller ones, most of which lay concealed under mounds of earth and vegetation.
		Thompson's views at that time were solidly anti-phonetic, and his own large body of detailed research had already fleshed-out a view that the Maya inscriptions did not record their actual history, and that the glyphs were founded on ideographic principles.

		Of the 500 or so left, perhaps 20-50 are able to make their living in the field of epigraphy; another one or two hundred professionals' lives are affected by advances in epigraphy; while the remainder are either students or, like myself, enthusiastic (sometimes obsessive) amateurs.
		In Mayan calendrical mathematics as practiced by Mayanists today, the names of the veintena days and the names of the haab months are to be converted to their numeric equivalents; ``'Ahaw'' is, mathematically, 0; the day name occupying position 1 is ``'Imix.'' A complete list of veintena day names is available on my website.
		Mayanists have been surprised, many times over, by the sophistication of the Mayans' numeric toolbox.

		The Mayanist consultant for the film, Richard Hansen works on Late Preclassic kingdoms of the El Mirador Basin in Guatemala, and clearly this earlier "mini-collapse" is interwoven into the movie's theme.
		Indeed, the city's sprawl of towering pyramids recalls a painted reconstruction of El Mirador published by Hansen that I use for teaching (however, the temple tops fancifully blend Late Classic Tikal-style roof combs and sculptural ornaments from Puuc architecture).
		As a Mayanist viewer, I was disappointed with even trivial inaccuracies, for instance, the scenery.

		While many Mayanists agree that wars contributed to the collapse, no one thinks they were the whole story.
		Some Mayanists speculate that the conehead effect was the result of trying to approximate the shape of an ear of corn.
		And there usually comes a point when a Mayanist has to decide how to draw joyful inspiration from the culture's destiny.

	Introduction
		What has not been sufficiently explored is that these distortions are also the consequence of excluding Maya voices in the act of interpretation, and consequently these distortions lack sensitivity to the concerns and identity of living Maya peoples, many of whom find such interpretations both degrading and politically dangerous.
		The purpose of the symposium is therefore to include a variety of Maya voices and concerns, and to begin to imagine what kind of Mayanist archaeology would foreground the long-term political goals of many Maya People.
		Here is a poster purchased in Belize that depicts ancient Maya people as savage warriors, drawing on the research of Mayanist epigraphers which interpret the Carcol ball court marker (middle image) as a record of Caracol's conquest of Tikal.

	Maya civilization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, this is preceded by several other writing systems which had developed in Mesoamerica, most notably that of the Olmec culture, which originated around 700 - 500 BCE.
		The Maya system is believed by Mayanist scholars to have derived from this earlier script; however in the succeeding centuries the Maya developed their script into a form which was far more complete and complex than that of its predecessors.
		Since its inception, the Maya script was in use up to the arrival of Europeans, peaking during the Maya Classical Period (c.

	Ancient Scripts: Maya
		So, in a sense, Landa recorded a very small section of the Maya syllabary, and the Mayanist equivalent of the Rosetta Stone.
		In a sense, for all Landa did to destroy any traces of Maya writing, he also unwittingly preserved for us the key to rediscovery and decipherment.
		No doubt Sir Eric Thompson is one of the greatest Mayanist ever lived.

	A Culture Unraveling: Matthew Looper On Guatemala’s Vanishing Textile Arts
		Though he graduated Phi Beta Kappa in botany, course work in pre-Columbian art, begun at Duke, drew him to the University of Texas at Austin for graduate studies.
		There he came under the compelling influence of the famous Mayanist Linda Schele, one of the first researchers to launch a serious investigation of Mayan glyphs and what they revealed about the culture and history of the people who carved them.
		Looper earned a Fulbright as well as a National Science Foundation grant to travel to Quiriguá, Guatemala, to do "a comprehensive political history" of the site, but his attraction to indigenous textiles, kindled as soon as he arrived, meant that he began investigating their origins and history as well.

		The astronomy of the Long Count end-date has more to do with observable astronomical features (the sun, the dark-rift and the Milky Way) and the precession of the equinoxes.
		The idea that the ancient creators of the Long Count knew and calculated precession will be hard enough for scholars to swallow, but in my research I've found that there's actually a lot of support for it even among Mayanists and other archaeoastronomers.
		His most interesting episode is perhaps his encounter with José Diaz Bolio, elder Mexican researcher and creator of the intriguing Crotalus durissus durissus solar-snake theory of Mayan geometry.

	The Maya and Mormonism
		One of the greatest minds in Maya research, Sir Eric Thompson, was also one of the greatest defenders of the status quo.
		Only since his death, has the deciphering of the language taken hold amongst most Mayanists as true.
		Since then, however, new attacks have occurred by many of the field archaeologists, who have set themselves against the epigraphers and linguists.

	Ancient Scripts: Mesoamerican Writing Systems
		Together with cultural renaissance was also a sense of political empowerment, the most visible of which was the award of the 1992 Nobel Prize to Rigoberta Menchú, a Quiché Maya woman activist.
		The last note in native literary renaissance started in the mid 1990's when Maya intellectuals attended workshops set up by the late Mayanist Linda Schele to learn the ancient writing system of their ancestors.
		Even though still somewhat of an intellectual curiosity, the Mayas can again write in their own writing system, and are actively contributing to its continuing decipherment.

		Proskouriakoff, shown here at El Tajín, Veracruz, Mexico, continues to inspire Mayanists.
		No scholar is more beloved by Mayanists than Tatiana Proskouriakoff, the Russian-born archaeologist and artist whose reconstruction drawings of sites such as Piedras Negras and Copán are world famous.
		Proskouriakoff pioneered the role of artist-turned-scholar, later taken up by the likes of Merle Greene Robertson and Linda Schele, by publishing some of the first explanations of the historical meaning of Maya hieroglyphs.

		These 5 groups are recognized as Lords of Night, unknown, Moon Age, Lunation Number, Moon Type.
		(For historical completeness, the Mayanist Morgan, in 1915, working with the then known 7 Lunar Glyphs, labeled then A, B, C, D, E, F and G, and rearranged them backwards, in which order they still are (Schele, 1992, p56).
		The Supplementary and Lunar Glyphs begin to appear on Pre-Classic Maya recordings as early as 199 A.D. (08.07.19.10.19) (Justeson 198x, p79); this predates the appearance of the first Long Count Dates on Maya monuments.

	Maya Hieroglyphic Writing
		While the decipherment of Maya hieroglyphs has been advancing rapidly in the past few decades, differing opinions of whether or not Maya writing was either a number of simple word-pictures or a sophisticated phonetic system stifled decipherment for years.
		Indeed, it was only in the mid-twentieth century following a breakthrough by Mayanist Tatiana Proskouriakoff that epigraphers (or glyphic experts) could finally agree that Maya Hieroglyphic Writing was a fully functional system based on phonetic signs.
		While our system is also based on phonetic signs, in comparison to Maya writing our system seems much simpler.
