The astronomers of the Long Count whose Dresden Codex calculations, Palenque inscriptions, and living Maya millions made them the most intellectually accomplished and most enduring civilization in the history of the Americas.
Maya People — the indigenous civilization of southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador whose Classic period cities of Palenque, Yaxchilán, Bonampak, and Calakmul in the Mexican states of Chiapas and Campeche produced in hieroglyphic inscriptions, painted murals, and carved stelae the most complete historical record of any pre-Columbian civilization, the Maya scribes and astronomers whose Long Count calendar, Venus tables, and eclipse predictions in the Dresden Codex represent the most sophisticated mathematical and astronomical achievement in the ancient Americas. The Maya world — whose Popol Vuh, the K'iche' Maya book of creation whose Hero Twins, underworld lords, and cosmic maize god constitute the most complete indigenous creation narrative to survive the colonial book burnings, and whose contemporary Maya people — six million strong across Mexico and Central America, the largest indigenous language community in Mesoamerica whose Yucatec, Tzeltal, Tzotzil, Ch'ol, and Tojolabal languages are spoken in the milpa cornfields, the highland markets, and the Zapatista autonomous communities of Chiapas whose 1994 uprising on the day NAFTA took effect announced to the world that the Maya were not a vanished civilization but a living people whose rights, lands, and dignity the modern Mexican state had yet to honor. This interactive t-shirt connects you to that astronomical and living legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
