Description
Booklet. A brief and fascinating look into Mayan astronomy. The Maya left us with an incredibly advanced understanding of time and the universe. The question still remains however; can we open ourselves to the wonder and curiosity to understand?
Most Mayan cities were located south of the zenial passages where the sun crossed over the Mayan latitudes. This meant the Maya could directly observe the sun. The celestial bodies shone their presence in everything from Mayan clothing to architecture. The Maya never forgot their inestimable importance in the heavens and on earth. The sources of Mayan mythology are found in the sky. Mayan mythology is interwoven intimately with the celestial movement of the heavenly bodies.
