New Concepts Concerning the Maya
There is a new wind blowing in the realm of Mayan research. The paradigm portraying the Maya as a society that does not regard human life was adopted in the mid-20th century. That view no longer holds true in light of the evidences that are building. Who were the Maya? What can we discover about their sacred belief system? What did they revere and hold sacred? Evidences collected over the last century are developing perspectives that form a new paradigm. We are about to be amazed. This website is designed to provide you with the latest publications on the following:
-Research in the field of Mayan archaeology
-Parallels of sacred belief systems
-New concepts emerging from research
What has changed?
For decades there has been a growing collection of archaeological artifacts uncovered in Central America that does not fit the hypotheses developed in the 20th Century. These evidences were set to the side because archaeologists were either unsure what to do with them, or were not allowed by their superiors to consider them. These evidences are now beginning to provide us with a view of their sacred belief system that is very similar to the ones we practice today...it is Christianity. When viewing their symbolism, cosmology and theology through the lens of fundamental Judeo-Christian belief, the blood sacrifices portrayed in their imagery are clearly understood to be metaphoric conditions of the soul, not literal rituals of blood-letting and human sacrifice. This new paradigm changes everything.
Why is this website important?
This website is your "go-to" location to find perspectives of the Mayan culture that cannot be found anywhere else. The publications provided here are founded on solid archaeological evidences connected to the Mesoamerican region and include both the Maya and the Olmec cultures of Central America. The primary researcher of this body of work is the late archaeologist Neil Steede, who spent over 40 years engaged in research of both the Maya and Olmec cultures. These publications argue his unique perspective and portray the Maya culture as very different from the viewpoints espoused by most archaeologists today. They are academically solid with evidentiary support from published professionals in the field. Using their research, Mr. Steede and others published here, provide the foundation for a new paradigm in ancient Central America cultures and Pre-Columbian Western Civilization.
