This was awesome thank you!

What does U mean? Or ukan mean? Thanks in advance. I know kan means serpent.

Is it possible to get the exercise list?

17:18 Same in mandarin Chinese. zhǎo 找 = to search, zhǎo zháo 找着 = to find. Literally searched successfully.

It is interesting that you draw a parallel to Charlemagne. The dynasty transition from the Merowingian to the Carolingian is, indeed, nearly identical to what you ascribe to the son of Aj Sak Teles at Bonampak. Maya inscriptions are sparse. Can you really know what motivations lay behind this inscription. There is a danger and temptation to interpret things in ways that are already familiar to us.

How do you know that the opening was meant to facilitate the movement of the divine energy? Is there a written source to back this up? This begins to look and sound very familiar...more and more like Western medieval conceptions of divine energy.

Less Castilian and more from the north. 52:05 gift is a noun, gifted is an adjective. To give is the verb: gave, given, giving. Your " gifting " is a nonce word.

I sought and sought until I sought it no longer.

Similarly, with Arabic VSO, SVO :: Transitive, intransitive

Where does he stand on this? How does it sit with him?

Maybe these holy men hoped to emulate the corn god...hoped to have a corn stalk sprout from their head, which would make their transformation to the holiest of holiness complete...to become a reincarnation of the corn god.

Ch’orti !!

Nice

this was very interesting. i love your passion as an educator

What if jaguars come out

Just echoing that lectures 2 and 6 are missing. If the videos are lost, do you have any other materials like slides or notes? What's here is amazing, thank you.

God ,goddess? I don't think so... what about if they have more like Budish Idea, why not? Divine of a special person yes, with knology in agriculture for example... the problem we want to understand the ancient cultures through cristianic filters, cristians have God, angels, saint ,virgen, ect.

Thank a lot for posting! Great material. If you could post the slides, that would be super helpful in finding particular things.

The cruciform cosmogram graffiti behind the bench at Holmul is similar to the cruciform "mazelike" graffiti scratched through the painted body of a serpent behind the bench in the inner sanctuary at the Temple of the Chac Mool, Chichen Itza.

please do yourself and your students a favor and stop spelling things with a Spanish J, especially since you do not enunciate the difference from H.

You sound like you're in an echo chamber and you are speaking too fast.

I think that’s what disturbs me most about South American history in, it was as though the spanish conquestadir were scraping the indigenous people off the bottom of their boots, and that really bothers me, and plenty of signs to say they wanted to completely eradicate everything about the culture they discovered by building Their cathedrals right on top of the native Americans temples, and that is very bothering to me, talk about reparations…..

just starting your course. Thought you should know that the lecture was interrupted by ads (thats okay) But it was trump spewing propaganda and pretty distasteful.

Please excuse me for this in the beginning of the system that the city and centered around a king in the proper pattens of life the head of the tribes or town's the king was known as a Chief.

You mentioned that the origins of Maya script are difficult to trace, and it probably has as potential origin in Olmec language, probably from Zoque. What about counting and numeric symbols? It is very well known that Olmecs were using the numeric and counting symbols for a long time before mayas, and mayas were using the same symbols later. Hence, for me, it is more than probable that mayas took many ideas for communication from Olmecs and Teotihuacans, don't you think? Arquelogist Tomas Perez affirms that the Mixe-Zoque conforms the Olmec Language, script and numeric symbols.

The Maya had a very sophisticated religious ideas and theories of the world.

This is criminally underviewed and its on something (legit) criminally understudied. Im gonna share this playlist with my peers and add Maya to my list of languages from the Americas to study. Thank you.

Lectures 2 and 6 appear to be missing from the playlist 😢

Its strange that he talk so much about purely phonetic spelling is so rear, when you got languages like Macedonian, modern Turkish, Bulgarian, Serbo-Croatian, Albanian, Georgian, Slovenian and many other that are very nearly if not pure phonographic spelling. Its really not as rear or unusual as his making it out to be

Very Informative and Interesting 💯👌🏽

I think it's Better to not to tamper too much with other indigenous peoples stuff.. anymore.. kinda back off n pay more attention to your own stuff

Which Mayan dialect are the numbers in at 7:30?

36:11

Man if one hour is just a brief introduction then I'm afraid how complicated this truly is 😢

Amazing!

Peace & Love. Thank you for your dedicated contribution, insights, and truly appreciate you. 🙌🏼🙏🏼💫

You say the crosshatching represents a net, I've wondered about that. Clearly the Maya were proud of this graphic invention. Speaking as a draftsman the advantage of crosshatching is that if it's laid down in a clean regular way you can draw considerable detail on top of it, the crisscross of lines doesn't cross out the detail. So a dark cave -so important to the Maya- can be shown full of detail. The crosshatching reads as 'darkness' to me, not 'blackness'. Also, blobs and expanses of ink can be sticky and messy (the Patent Office forbids expanses of black from patent drawings for that reason) and many inked lines dry faster than a blob, plus they consume less ink, so the crosshatching is better in a practical scribal sense. And you mention Mayan clowns -pictures please! Wearing nets, folks found this funny. Why? I'd guess that these people did a lot of fishing, and a fisherman's clown would be a fool tangled in his own net.

At 21:00 "It shall not be lost" perhaps is a reference to to the altar's durable stone-tough self, a way to declare 'I will stand forever' or 'I shall survive the ages' or is 'I shall never be lost from memory', it's the kind of thing monuments declare, permanence in stone. And it's true! The fact that it survived the ages and is still read supports that declaration. Thank you for these lectures, I enjoy them immensely.

I was speaking to a young Mayan man in Quintana Roo. He told me that there are many words in Maya that sound like the things that you hear in the jungle. The word for certain things that have a sound also sound like the sound, at least that is what he told me...

I love your lectures. I’m currently writing a paper on the subject of Mayan gods. Could I get the proper info to cite your work as a resource?

is it true the higland Maya didnt use Maya writing?

Are there any books or workbooks available

Thank you for your classes. I hope learn classic watching all classes.

Скажите, пожалуйста, 2, 4 и 6 лекции не ждать?
