The simple question "How did the Maya come up with a calendar that had only 260 days?" led Vincent Malmström to discover an unexpected "hearth" of Mesoamerican culture. In this boldly revisionist book, he sets forth his challenging, new view of the origin and diffusion of Mesoamerican calendrical systems—the intellectual achievement that gave rise to Mesoamerican civilization and culture. Malmström posits that the 260-day calendar marked the interval between passages of the sun at its zenith over Izapa, an ancient ceremonial center in the Soconusco region of Mexico's Pacific coastal plain. He goes on to show how the calendar developed by the Zoque people of the region in the fourteenth century B.C. gradually diffused through Mesoamerica into the so-called "Olmec metropolitan area" of the Gulf coast and beyond to the Maya in the east and to the plateau of Mexico in the west. These findings challenge our previous understanding of the origin and diffusion of Mesoamerican civilization. Sure to provoke lively debate in many quarters, this book will be important reading for all students of ancient Mesoamerica—anthropologists, archaeologists, archaeoastronomers, geographers, and the growing public fascinated by all things Maya.

Thousands of years ago, people settled in the part of the world called Mesoamerica. This region consists of southern Mexico and most of Central America as it stretches between what is now called the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean. Although many different countries now exist within this space, it was the original home to just one civilisation: the Olmec. As time advanced, other well-known groups became dominant in the area. These were primarily the Aztecs and the Mayan. All these early civilizations that existed from approximately 1200 BCE to 900 CE were steeped with culture, tradition, commerce, and conflict. They also offer many mysteries and enigmas to modern understanding. These are the things that make people wonder about how the civilisations arose, gained such power, and why they disappeared. Travel back in time to the first days to discover the questions that still exist in the minds of archaeologists, historians, and others who strive to understand the ancient mysteries of Mesoamerica.

Lost Cities author Childress takes us deep into Mexico and Central America in search of the mysterious Olmecs, North America’s early, advanced civilization. The Olmecs, now sometimes called Proto-Mayans, were not acknowledged to have existed as a civilization until an international archeological meeting in Mexico City in 1942. Now, the Olmecs are slowly being recognized as the Mother Culture of Mesoamerica, having invented writing, the ball game and the “Mayan” Calendar. But who were the Olmecs? Where did they come from? What happened to them? How sophisticated was their culture? How far back in time did it go? Why are many Olmec statues and figurines seemingly of foreign peoples such as Africans, Europeans and Chinese? Is there a link with Atlantis? In this heavily illustrated book, join Childress in search of the lost cities of the Olmecs! Chapters include: The Mystery of the Origin of the Olmecs; The Mystery of the Olmec Destruction; The Mystery of Quizuo; The Mystery of Transoceanic Trade; The Mystery of Cranial Deformation; The Mystery of Olmec Writing; more. Heavily illustrated, includes a color photo section.

Yokes, hachas, and palmas are three pre-Columbian art forms that occur in a specific region of Mexico and Central America and apparently have no exact counterparts anywhere else. This volume focuses on these carved stone objects which have puzzled art historians and archaeologists since the mid-19th century. The corpus of data presented here, consisting of photo documentation, identification, and interpretation of 661 sculptures, was assembled by the two authors over many years, beginning in the early 1940s.

MAYA AND AZTEC HISTORY Like the Greeks and Romans, many people relate folklore to legends. These two civic institutions have told some of the most renowned stories of divine beings and fantasies. The fact remains that every society in every corner of the world has its own legend. Mesoamerican human elevations such as those created by Mayas and Aztecs are epic in scale. The Mesoamerican region comprises Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and other parts of Central America. From multiple perspectives, the Mayas and Aztecs' early Mesoamerican societies were very different, but they interacted regularly based on exchange, movement, and success. As a result, they share several similar characteristics, and their religions and fantasies have several commonalities. Most Mesoamerican societies tracked time exceptionally closely, creating complicated schedules to predict significant events, such as the change of seasons or eclipses of the Sun or moon. Their lives were controlled by the powers of pleasing and abhorrent acts documented by their lives, and they had to know when these opportunities would arise to make societal contributions and penances. In addition to several different traits, the human advancements that grew out of the Mesoamerican societies also shared several other characteristics. Offerings from humans were an essential part of their strict practices to restore the divinity that sustains the role of the divine being. Images were used to create hieroglyphic compositions. Through their hieroglyphics, we can learn what they thought and lived like; they cut in stone or wrote vast scientific knowledge in books called codices made of fig-bark paper or deerskin, which were then collapsed like screens. Aztecs and Mayas developed complex government structures, created incredible urban landscapes with landmarks and sanctuaries, refined farming techniques, and managed colossal business sectors that sold various food products. Different classes or groups of individuals made up their social orders. Most individuals at the bottom, such as the workers and engineers, were poor compared to those at the top, such as honorability. The Mesoamerican social order included not only champions and ministers but also craftsmen (such as woodworkers), vendors, designers, astrologers, stargazers, and other specialists. In addition, artists, craftsmen, and architects were frequent participants in the numerous strict festivals. Stone ball courts were among the most fascinating features in ancient Meso-American urban communities. A heavy elastic ball would be passed through a ring by two teams of people using these courts. By hitting the ball with their hips, shoulders, other parts of their middle, and perhaps from their heads, they could keep the ball moving. Neither their hands nor feet could be used. A brutal game of this nature took place regularly as part of strict customs from what we know. Often, players were injured, and sometimes the losers were sacrificed as conciliatory casualties. As you will see, ball games played an important role in Mesoamerican folklore. Until the arrival of the Spanish in the 1500s, Mesoamerican civilizations flourished. Those who went with or followed the Spanish conquerors (European conquerors) brought enormous changes, many of which were dangerous. A pandemic illness, such as smallpox, flu, and measles, was difficult for the local population. Individuals were organized into Spanish-style towns and villages to be controlled more easily.
