Information on the ancient Maya, their philosophies and prophecies, as well as the modern-day Maya and their cultural traditions.
Another fantastic day working on the Yucatan Travel Video. I love remembering my visits to the wonderful colonial town of Izamal where the town’s people, modern-day Maya, live among the ancient Mayan ruins . Alas, an overzealous Spanish bishop, during the time of the Spanish Inquisition, dismantled one of the pyramids and used its stones to construct a convent. Obviously, the location is a powerful sacred site. As it turns out, the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary at this convent is attributed with having been an apparition because legend has it that the statue could not be moved from the convent. When we were there in December, the town had a huge celebration on her behalf complete with a carnival, a procession, and refreshments stands. Pope John Paul II made a pilgrimmage to the site.

Here’s a link to a number of images of Itzamna, the great god of the ancient Maya: http://images.google.com/images?q=itzamna&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&oe=utf8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=4HLFStLoM4ee8AaSpKQ5&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4
He is usually toothless, sits in a lotus position, sometimes has a beard – very unusual since the pure blooded Maya do not have beards. Verrry interesting.
Today, I am including the search for an image of Itzamna at Chichen Itza in the Yucatan Travel Movie.

Today’s and yesterday’s . . . and tomorrow’s . . . Yucatan Travel Movie editing time will be spent on Izamal, one of my favorite destinations in the Mexican state of Yucatan. Not only does this beautiful colonial city have the highest pyramid in the state of Yucatan, but also, it has a gorgeous historical convent, the site of an apparition of the Virgin Mary. Izamal also used to be the headquarters of the ancient Maya creator god, Izamna. I love the place. It’s beautiful and it is sacred ground.

Today, I sorted through photographs of the world-famous Chichen Itza Equinox Event. We were in Chichen Itza for the Spring Equinox this year when the sunlight formed the pattern of a serpent’s body on the stone serpent whose body rises up the side of the stairs on the Pyramid of Kulkulkan. This was an event that required a lot of jostling and justling in the crowd to get the photo without someone’s else from the crowd getting in the way.

I really enjoy that group.
This time, the Richmond A.R.E. had a joint meeting with the area IONS group.
Many inquisitive, knowledgeable people attended my event. Delightful!
