Description:
The perfect introduction to the gods, heroes and ancestors of the great Maya civilization.




Highly complex and divided into politically fragmented noble houses, the Maya civilization produced a diverse and complicated mythology that varies between groups and retellings. For example, there are three different myths about the origins of the sun and moon, in one creation myth animals and objects rise up to torment humanity; whilst in another, pots shatter and speak, unleashing demons upon the people.




Elsewhere, heroes descend to the ballcourt of the underworld where trees grow fruit in the likeness of severed heads, the ancestors converse with animals and the Maize God is caught in a perpetual cycle of death and rebirth. But to the Maya these were more than fireside tales, these myths formed the foundation of their culture, weaving together their ancestral and primordial pasts into a cohesive and meaningful narrative.




In The Maya Myths Mallory Matsumoto skilfully evokes the enduring vibrancy of Maya culture, from the peak of the Maya hieroglyphic tradition in the eighth century AD, through the invasions of the Spanish conquistadors up to the present day. The book draws from texts, images and Maya oral histories, reflecting a history of contact and change, rather than a sealed-off past.

Fantastic Sunscreen Lotion!
This sunscreen lotion is AMAZING! It smells fantastic (not at all like most sunscreen...cannot stand that nasty stink). And it is all natural so that is appealing as well. And yeah, it smells good and doesn't leave a gross/overly sticky type residue on your skin. It is also easy to wash off at the end of your day in the sun. And...most importantly, it works GREAT! Out in the sun and I didn't get burned at all. Highly recommend it (especially for anyone sensitive to regular sunscreen or if you can't tolerate the smell of regular sunscreen). This stuff is great!
