The Mayas, Masters of Time

Beginning with the origins of the Maya civilization we will explore the importance 
of their sacred calendar and geography. Their intimate relationship with 
the rhythms and forces of Nature allowed them to transform 
a tropical jungle of the Yucatan into  splendid gardens.

Their mythology (Popol Vuh) speaks to us of a universe in evolution 
where life is a ceaseless struggle between the opposite forces of nature, 
often represented through animal figures, bird feathers, serpents and jaguars. 

Ask the Mayas living today, 
their civilization has not disappeared, 
it is in transformation into a new era.
