A fascinating history of the Maya - drawing on a wealth of recent archaeological discoveries - whose civilisation in the jungles of Central America was for almost a thousand years hidden from the world. Over the last two centuries explorers have made the most remarkable discoveries in the tropical forests of Central America. Across much of present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and Honduras dozens of cities - some with populations of well over 100,000 - have been unveiled, and every year fresh reports emerge of the findings of unknown Maya ruins - great temples, palaces, towering stone pyramids and the tombs of the Maya kings. What these spectacular discoveries indicate is the former presence of an exceptionally advanced, sophisticated and complex society. Recently, major developments made in the decipherment of Maya hieroglyphics have revealed that alongside the material achievements of the Maya ran intellectual accomplishments in astronomy, maths and calendrics, seemingly tied to the complexities of Maya religion, that were remarkable for a society technically in the Stone Age. From reliefs on temple walls, from magnificent hieroglyphic stairways and from stone stelae planted by Maya rulers in the plazas of their cities, has come written history: the Chronicles of the Maya Kings. David Drew looks at why they constructed their cities in the hostile setting of the jungle, the exact age of their ruins, the strange human images depicted in elaborate costume at so many Maya sites, and he asks why at the time of the Spanish conquest, all knowledge of the Mayas had been lost.

Parmi les grandes civilisations préhispaniques, les Mayas jouissent d’une popularité particulière, liée notamment au défi scientifique que représente la connaissance de ces cultures plusieurs fois millénaires. Des « cités perdues » mises à jour dans la jungle tropicale par les explorateurs du XIXe siècle, aux vestiges archéologiques que la télédétection découvre encore sous l’épais manteau végétal, en passant par les débats sur le supposé «effondrement » ou le déchiffrement d’un système d’écriture complexe, l’histoire et l’archéologie des anciens Mayas n’ont cessé de fabriquer du « mystère » et suscitent l’intérêt bien au-delà des cercles savants. Mais, pour certains, cette fascination alimente aussi un imaginaire exubérant, dans lequel les Mayas sont mobilisés pour questionner les origines comme les fins dernières de l’humanité. Massivement investis par la pseudo-science et les croyances « new age », la culture et le passé des Mayas sont ainsi mis à toutes les sauces d’une cuisine ésotérique capiteuse, vendue pour satisfaire les besoins ou calmer les angoisses d’Occidentaux en quête de sens. Il serait pourtant regrettable de limiter la place des Mayas dans la grande geste du genre humain à l’étonnante civilisation qui a bâti Palenque, Tikal ou Chichén Itzá et qui continue de nourrir les prophéties fantasques de quelques aigrefins de la pensée. Envisagés au présent, les Mayas sont aussi des peuples autochtones d’Amérique centrale qui, après avoir subi les violences de la conquête coloniale, les ravages du choc microbien, la déshumanisation par le travail forcé, endurent toujours depuis, sur les terres de leurs ancêtres, le racisme, la pauvreté et l’exclusion. Dans un passé récent, ces populations ont surgi sur le devant de la scène, lors de l’effroyable génocide qui a décimé et traumatisé les Indiens du Guatemala au début des années 1980, mais aussi en 1994, au moment où, par la voix du sous-commandant insurgé Marcos, ceux du Chiapas délivrèrent un message d’espoir et d’émancipation à portée universelle. Entre créations et destructions, entre oppressions et révoltes, entre fantasmes et réalités, ce livre nous invite à parcourir 3000 ans d’histoire de luttes et de passions.

Much of what we currently know about the ancient Maya concerns the activities of the elites who ruled the societies and left records of their deeds carved on the monumental buildings and sculptures that remain as silent testimony to their power and status. But what do we know of the common folk who labored to build the temple complexes and palaces and grew the food that fed all of Maya society? This pathfinding book marshals a wide array of archaeological, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic evidence to offer the fullest understanding to date of the lifeways of ancient Maya commoners. Senior and emerging scholars contribute case studies that examine such aspects of commoner life as settlement patterns, household organization, and subsistence practices. Their reports cover most of the Maya area and the entire time span from Preclassic to Postclassic. This broad range of data helps resolve Maya commoners from a faceless mass into individual actors who successfully adapted to their social environment and who also held primary responsibility for producing the food and many other goods on which the whole Maya society depended.

Dans la région qui s’étend du Chiapas au Salvador, de la plaine côtière de Tabasco jusqu’au Belize et au Honduras, ainsi que dans l’ensemble de la péninsule du Yucatán, les Mayas ont bâti une civilisation brillante, qui a atteint - en quelques siècles - un niveau intellectuel et culturel des plus remarquables. Bernard Baudouin nous fait découvrir cette civilisation lointaine. Il nous présente : les origines de la culture maya : l’héritage olmèque, l’émergence de la royauté... ; l’essor intellectuel et culturel : astronomie, mathématiques, calendrier maya, système d’écriture complet... ; la religion maya : la vision des différents mondes, le « récit de la création », le panthéon des dieux, le symbolisme des rituels... ; la résistance face à la conquête espagnole, la christianisation, la continuation d’une « pensée maya ». Au fil des siècles, les Mayas ont édifié des cités fabuleuses, dont les vestiges se dressent - encore aujourd’hui - au milieu des jungles et des savanes d’Amérique centrale : Chichén-Itzá, Tikal, Yaxchilan, Palenque, Copán... Leurs temples et leurs pyramides majestueuses nous éclairent sur la foi authentique de ces hommes fascinants, aux croyances savantes et subtiles, pour qui l’existence se trouve à la jonction du temporel et de l’intemporel, aux frontières de l’humain et des autres mondes...
