“Once there was a place called Siwan Tinimit (Guatemala) where men talked to
the gods, built pyramids in honor of the heavens, deciphered the
mysteries of the cosmos and learned about the sacred design of the
earth. Here, 3,000 years ago, the Maya put down their roots for
eternity. The roads they built are now traveled by more than twenty
indigenous Mayan ethnic groups, worthy descendents of their gifted
forefathers,
who
still today use the ancient colors of mystery in their handicrafts. |
