Podcast appearances and mentions of maya kings

Dr. Marc Zender and Dr. Marcello Canuto are researchers at Tulane University's Middle American Research Institute who specialize in the history of the Mayan peoples. We talk about the similarities between the bronze-age collapse and the emptying-out of the Mayan homelands, discovery of more than 1,000 settlements long-hidden beneath the teeming canopy around Guatemala's El Mirador, the difficult work of accurately reconstructing ancient history, and the sticky appeal of ancient aliens narratives.

(recorded over zoom) A great city rises from dense jungle, ca AD 700. Its people flock to watch their king's blood sacrifice to bridge his mortality and divine lineage, warding off drought and famine. It's showtime! Host Dr. Karen Bellinger is joined by Dr. Andrew Kinkella (Archeologist & Anthropologist) for a discussion of the job of a Maya King in the Classic Period.

We return to the land of the Maya, to visit their most stunning artistic achievement. The stelae of Copán, many constructed to honor Waxaklajuun Ubaad Kawiil, 13th king of the city, are remarkably intricate, humanist yet fantastic. His reign marked the highest point and also the lowest, as within decades of his untimely death, Copán and the other Classic Mayan cities would be abandoned. Or were they?   Listener Richard Dennis describes his impressions of visiting Copán and traditional Honduran cuisine: beans and tortillas, culminating in the baleada.  And we can't talk about Honduras without discussing the Football War.   Sources: Bunce, Steve. “How a World Cup qualifier and the suicide of a young girl launched the bloody 100 Hour Football War” in the Independent.

The Maya return as we visit Tikal, nestled in the jungles of northern Guatemala, and pick up the story of Nuun Ujol Chaak, after he left Palenque. Nuun Ujol Chaak was a rebel, facing unfathomable odds against an evil empire.  And even if he might fall in the end, his son Jasaw Chan Kawi'il would take up the mantle and restore Tikal to greatness.  It's his pyramids that tower above the treeline, representing the greatest architectural achievement of the Classic Maya. Nitin Sil from the Flash Point History podcast, appears to talk about his travels to Tikal, from climbing pyramids to avoiding monkeys. Guatemala is much more than Tikal, and its history as a "Banana Republic" gets a closer look.  Its food, with its roots in centuries of Maya culture, merits a taste as well, especially pipian, a pumpkin-seed based sauce that works splendidly with chicken.

Back to Mesoamerica, only this time, we introduce the Maya. At the edge of the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico, sits the city of Lakam Ha, today called Palenque.  Among its magnificent ruins is the Temple of the Inscriptions, the tomb of king Pakal. His rule was one of the longest in human history; yet how much of his success came from the strong women around him? We talk about the Mayan calendar, 2012, Pakal's magnificent tomb, and his sarcophagus which was NOT made by aliens. There's more to see in Chiapas as well, like colonial San Cristóbal, indigenous villages, waterfalls, and Mayan ruins Bonmapak and Yaxchilán.  But for food, we head to next door Oaxaca to talk mole and mezcal margaritas.

Today we talk with co-host Jeb Card about Mayan Hieroglyphics. We talk about the Victorian worlds discovery of them, their fascination with them, how that fascination has endured into the modern-day, and how the Mayan language, including Hieroglyphics, is still a living language today. LinksFAMSI resourcesMaya Glyph WorkbookWayeb resourcesForest of KingsMaya Decipherment Blog by David Stuart and Stephen HoustonTazumal flaskhttp://miamioh.edu/news/top-stories/2017/04/jeb-card.htmlhttps://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/ancient-mesoamerica/article/seventhcentury-inscribed-miniature-flask-from-copan-found-at-tazumal-el-salvador/6C01D75378694C9CCEE9E5A8A1267A37/core-readerArchaeology 365 episode on Tazumal flaskAthanasius KircherRelacion de las Cosas de Yucatan by de Archbishop Diego de Landahttp://www.wayeb.org/download/resources/landa.pdfhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaci%C3%B3n_de_las_cosas_de_Yucat%C3%A1nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Landa_alphabethttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Landa_alphabet#/media/File:De_Landa_alphabet.jpgCracking the Maya Code DocumentaryYuri KnorosovCentro de estudios Maya Yuri KnorosovBreaking the Maya CodeReading the Maya GlyphsTranslating Maya GlyphsReading Maya ArtChronicle of the Maya Kings and QueensAncient Text, Modern Tablet - Handcrafted CuneiformJason Colavito and the Antediluvian Pyramid MythContactEmail us at ArchyFantasies@gmail.comFollow us on Twitter at @Archyfantasies and find us on FaceBook. Theme Music by ArcheoSoup ProductionsProduced by Chris Webster and Tristan Boyle
