It said that anthropologists believe human culture began when human started to think abstractly
Anthropologists have found some animal toothused as weaponand other decoration stuff made by
human in Europeand those stuff is around 40000 years oldHoweveranthropologists later found some
other evidences of human culturepolished animal tooth and other decorations in South Africa that are
around 70000 years oldSome anthropologists believed that human started to think abstractly when
human gene suddenly twisted and switched on the ability to think abstractlyOthers believed that the
process for human to start thinking abstractly is a slow process because the sign of human culture spread
evenly across the world

Maya Culture
The Maya are probably the best-known of the classical civilizations of Mesoamerica. Originating in the
Yucatan around 2600 B.C.they rose to prominence around A.D. 250 in present-day southern Mexico
Guatemalanorthern Belize and western Honduras. Building on the inherited inventions and ideas of
earlier civilizations such as the Olmecthe Maya developed astronomycalendrical systems and
hieroglyphic writing. The Maya were noted as well for elaborate and highly decorated ceremonial
architectureincluding temple-pyramidspalaces and observatoriesall built without metal tools. They
were also skilled farmersclearing large sections of tropical rain forest andwhere groundwater was
scarcebuilding sizeable underground reservoirs for the storage of rainwater. The Maya were equally
skilled as weavers and pottersand cleared routes through jungles and swamps to foster extensive trade
networks with distant peoples.
49
Around 300 B.C.the Maya adopted a hierarchical system of government with rule by nobles and kings.
This civilization developed into highly structured kingdoms during the Classic periodA.D. 200-900.
Their society consisted of many independent stateseach with a rural farming community and large urban
sites built around ceremonial centres. It started to decline around A.D. 900 when - for reasons which are
still largely a mystery - the southern Maya abandoned their cities. When the northern Maya were
integrated into the Toltec society by A.D. 1200the Maya dynasty finally came to a closealthough some
peripheral centres continued to thrive until the Spanish Conquest in the early sixteenth century.
Maya history can be characterized as cycles of rise and fall: city-states rose in prominence and fell into
declineonly to be replaced by others. It could also be described as one of continuity and changeguided
by a religion that remains the foundation of their culture. For those who follow the ancient Maya
traditionsthe belief in the influence of the cosmos on human lives and the necessity of paying homage to
the gods through rituals continues to find expression in a modern hybrid Christian-Maya faith.
Cosmology and Religion
The ancient Maya believed in recurring cycles of creation and destruction and thought in terms of eras
lasting about 5,200 modern years. The current cycle is believed by the Maya to have begun in either 3114
B.C. or 3113 B.C. of our calendarand is expected to end in either A.D. 2011 or 2012.
Maya cosmology is not easy to reconstruct from our current knowledge of their civilization. It seems
apparenthoweverthat the Maya believed Earth to be flat and four-cornered. Each corner was located at
a cardinal point and had a colour value: red for eastwhite for northblack for westand yellow for south.
At the centre was the colour green.
Some Maya also believed that the sky was multi-layered and that it was supported at the corners by four
gods of immense physical strength called "Bacabs". Other Maya believed that the sky was supported by
four trees of different colours and specieswith the green ceibaor silk-cotton treeat the centre.
Earth in its flat form was thought by the Maya to be the back of a giant crocodileresting in a pool of
water lilies. The crocodile's counterpart in the sky was a double-headed serpent - a concept probably
based on the fact that the Maya word for "sky" is similar to the word for "snake". In hieroglyphicsthe
body of the sky-serpent is marked not only with its own sign of crossed bandsbut also those of the Sun
the MoonVenus and other celestial bodies.
Heaven was believed to have 13 layersand each layer had its own god. Uppermost was the muan birda
kind of screech-owl. The Underworld had nine layerswith nine corresponding Lords of the Night. The
Underworld was a coldunhappy place and was believed to be the destination of most Maya after death.
Heavenly bodies such as the Sunthe Moonand Venuswere also thought to pass through the
Underworld after they disappeared below the horizon every evening.
Very little is known about the Maya pantheon. The Maya had a bewildering number of godswith at least
166 named deities. This is partly because each of the gods had many aspects. Some had more than one
sex; others could be both young and old; and every god representing a heavenly body had a different
Underworld facewhich appeared when the god "died" in the evening
The Maya Calendar:
The Maya kept time with a combination of several cycles that meshed together to mark the movement of
the sunmoon and Venus. The Maya calendar in its final form probably dates from about the 1st century
50
B.C.and may originate with the Olmec civilization. It is extremely accurateand the calculations of
Maya priests were so precise that their calendar correction is 10,000th of a day more exact than the
standard calendar the world uses today.
Of all the ancient calendar systemsthe Maya and other Mesoamerican systems are the most complex and
intricate. They used 20-day monthsand had two calendar years: the 260-day Sacred Roundor tzolkin
and the 365-day Vague Yearor haab. These two calendars coincided every 52 years. The 52-year period
of time was called a "bundle" and meant the same to the Maya as our century does to us.
The Sacred Round of 260 days is composed of two smaller cycles: the numbers 1 through 13coupled
with 20 different day names. Each of the day names is represented by a god who carries time across the
skythus marking the passage of night and day. The day names are ImixIkAkbalKanChicchan
CimiManikLamatMulucOcChuenEbBenIxMenCibCabanEiznabCauac
and Ahau. Some of these are animal godssuch as Chuen (the dog)and Ahau (the eagle)and
archaeologists have pointed out that the Maya sequence of animals can be matched in similar sequence to
the lunar zodiacs of many East and Southeast Asian civilizations.
Writing and Hieroglyphics:
The Maya writing system is considered by archaeologists to be the most sophisticated system ever
developed in Mesoamerica.
The Maya wrote using 800 individual signs or glyphspaired in columns that read together from left to
right and top to bottom. Maya glyphs represented words or syllables that could be combined to form any
word or concept in the Mayan languageincluding numberstime periodsroyal namestitlesdynastic
eventsand the names of godsscribessculptorsobjectsbuildingsplacesand food. Hieroglyphic
inscriptions were either carved in stone and wood on Maya monuments and architectureor painted on
paperplaster walls and pottery.
The unit of the Maya writing system is the glyphic cartouchewhich is equivalent to the words and
sentences of a modern language. Maya cartouches included at least three or four glyphs and as many as
fifty. Each cartouche contained various glyphsas well as prefixes and suffixes. There is no Maya
alphabet.
Maya writing is difficult to interpret for a number of reasons. Firstglyphs do not represent just sounds or
ideasthey can represent bothmaking it difficult to know how each glyph or cartouche should be read. In
additionmany Maya glyphs can have more than one meaningand many Maya concepts can be written in
more than one way. Numbersfor examplecan be written with Maya numerical symbols or with the
picture of a god associated with that numberor a combination of the two. Some glyphs represent more
than one phonetic soundwhile also representing an idea. This means that a single idea can be written in
many different ways. For examplethe name of the Palenque rulerPacalwhose name literally means
"Hand-shield"appears sometimes as a picture of a hand-shieldsometimes phonetically as pa-cal-la
and at other times as a combination of picture symbols and phonetics.
