The land under the Chichen Itza ruins used to be privately owned until this year. However, as this online article at Art Daily recounts, the owner Hans Jurgen Thies Barbachano sold the 205, 067 acres for $17,800,150 US on March 29, 2010 to the State of Yucatan, Mexico.

Yucatan Travel Movie Preview Loop almost finished

Still working on the Yucatan Travel Movie Preview Loop that I will play continuously at my table during upcoming book fairs.

“Atlantis and Lemuria in Yucatan” Movie Will Be Next

I am looking forward to starting my next movie which will be on searching for clues of travelers from the lost city of Atlantis and the lost continent of Lemuria Mu in Yucatan.

Book Fair Yucatan Travel Movie Preview Loop

I have a couple of book fairs scheduled in the autumn. Therefore, today I worked on a video preview that loops around so I can have it playing continually on my laptop during the book fair. In that way, people walking by can get a glimpse of the Yucatan Travel Movie.

Cayce/Yucatan Event Scheduled for September 2010

Just in: There’s been a cancellation in the Edgar Cayce Forum‘s Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 event. Day Schwartz called today to ask me if I would fill the spot and I said, “Yes! I’d love to.”

Of course, I love Day and her co-moderator, Lindy van Burik, and am always happy to help them out. I also love my topic: The Yucatan Connection to Atlantis and Lemuria Using Cayce Clues and Mythology. Hope to see you there!

Campeche Mexico Safe for Tourists too

I am happy to say that the KansasCity.com article, “As death toll rises, Mexico rethinks drug war strategy,” reports that the U.S. State Department declares that as well as the Mexican state of Yucatan, also Campeche, Tabasco and Chiapas, the subjects of the next movie, tentatively titled, More Yucatan Travel: Chichen Itza Equinox to Palenque, are also safe for tourists. Yay!

Yucatan Safe for Tourists

Amid reports of horrific drug war murders, an article at KansasCity.com says that a number of Mexican states, including Yucatan, are safe for tourists. The article explains that the least safe Mexican states are those adjacent to U.S. borders. The U.S. State Department says that millions of U.S. tourists visit Mexico every year and about a million Americans reside in Mexico.

Final Yucatan Travel Movie Back Cover Copy

Here’s the final wording of the DVD back cover for the movie Yucatan Travel: Cancun to Chichen Itza:

“Discover secrets about the Yucatan that few travelers know such as a fantastic Caribbean beach located within a Mayan ruin site. Encounter a huge underground cave used for drinking water and swimming. In this travel documentary, you will visit a pyramid that contains a tomb and see local children feeding a wild crocodile. Join narrator Miriam Balsley as she shops for colorful crafts with her Mom and Step-dad, savors local delicacies and explores sacred ground where shamans still perform traditional ceremonies. Whether you travel to the Yucatan by plane or cruise ship . . . whether you explore by bus, rental car or tour group . . .
Yucatan Travel: Cancun to Chichen Itza provides insider views of appealing attractions.”

The Atlantes and Atlantis

A coincidence or what! In Yucatan, among Mayan ruins, there are ancient statues that are supposed to be holding up the world called Atlantes. Is that Atlantes or Atlantis? Where did these Atlantes get their name? What difference, if any, is there between the pronunciation of Atlantes and Atlantis. It could very well be only a difference in interpreting the spoken word. They are probably the same word!

March Edgar Cayce Forum Speaking Invitation

I just found out: I will be speaking at the Edgar Cayce Forum on the last Wednesday of March, 2011 at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The topic: Searching for Clues from Edgar Cayce and Mythology on the Connection between the Yucatan with Atlantis and Lemuria.
