Lines of Fate
This article explores the concept of resilience within the framework of fengshui forests in subtropical southern China over the last millennium.

The Manikin Sceptre
In official Maya portraiture the manikin scepter was one of the most important insignia of the male rulers. As a central icon it carried great! symbolic weight, and expressed a cluster of closely interrelated cultural concepts.

Recent work in the decipherment of Mayan hieroglyphic wri…

Cenote of Sacrifice
The Shape of Time
Four-part figures equal cyclic completion in ancient Mesoamerica, but they do not necessarily correspond to the cardinal directions; they refer, rather, to four-place cycles within the apparent annual path of the sun. The earliest excavated Maya example of such a quadripartite diagram in architectural form is Structure E-VII Sub at Uaxactun, which was part of a solar observatory. Later this E Group at Uaxactun was used for katun celebration. It i…
