New Inscription of "2012" date in La Corona, Guatemala

Until now, only one reference to December 21, 2012 (the most agreed upon correlation) has ever been discovered. Totuguero Monument 6 bears the famed "13 b'aktun" date and is on display in a museum in Villahermosa, Mexico. Now, at La Corona, a massive archaeological site in northern Guatemala, a second reference has been uncovered.

In this University of Texas at Austin article, "Maya Scholar Deciphers Meaning of Newly Discovered Monument That Refers to 2012," the author says that the new 2012 reference was, rather than prophecy, a way for a troubled king to place his "reign and accomplishments into a larger cosmological framework." more >>

"Mayan Renaissance" film screening in Arvada, Colorado

A new feature length documentary film, “Mayan Renaissance”, treats "the glory of the ancient Maya civilization, the Spanish conquest in 1519, five hundred years of oppression, and the courageous fight of the Maya to reclaim their voice and determine their own future, in Guatemala and throughout Central America."

The film features Rigoberta Menchu Tum, 1992 Nobel Peace Laureate and Maya leader, and all of the images, voices, expert commentary, and music in the film "come directly from Central America, from the heart of the Mayan world."

There will be a special screening of "Mayan Renaissance" this Sunday in Arvada, Colorado, home of the PeaceJam Foundation which was instrumental in the film's production. more >>
