Most people from Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula believed the source of the Mayan culture’s revered blue dye was long gone. The iconic dye resembled that of the nearby Caribbean Sea and was used to paint pottery, sculptures, jewelry and more. But Luis May Ku, a ceramist in Mexico, retraced his Mayan roots to recreate the pre-Hispanic pigment for the first time in more than two centuries. Read more from @AlJazeera
Per scelta sui social come IG ho deciso di non postare più, ma di aiutare nella divulgazione con le storie. Concettualmente mi piace pensare che tutto quello che li do a disposizione per 24 ore, qui resta "per sempre"
Vi condivido questo screen preso da una storia in cui taggo i canali dei tre ragazzi con cui sono stato in live.

“A huge Maya city has been discovered centuries after it disappeared under jungle canopy in Mexico.
Archaeologists found pyramids, sports fields, causeways connecting districts and amphitheatres in the southeastern state of Campeche.
They uncovered the hidden complex - which they have called Valeriana - using Lidar, a type of laser survey that maps structures buried under vegetation.
They believe it is second in density only to Calakmul, thought to be the largest Maya site in ancient Latin America…”

"Un doctorant américain a découvert, par hasard, trois sites mayas au milieu de la jungle mexicaine"
A huge Maya city named Valeriana was discovered in Mexico using Lidar technology. The city, hidden under jungle canopy, had pyramids, sports fields, and causeways, and was home to 30-50,000 people from 750 to 850 AD. The discovery challenges the idea that the Tropics were inhospitable to advanced civilizations.
Nachdem #OutgunnedAdventures nun erschienen ist, habe ich mir auch endlich einen Hauptschauplatz für meine kommende #Rollenspielkampagne ausgesucht. Es wird einer der klassischen Orte: #Mexiko!
Und wie sollte es sein, natürlich geht es um das Erbe der #Maya.
Da es in den 30er Jahren spielt, spiele ich mit dem Gedanken ein #Cameo historischer Personen einzubauen. Speziell hier Trotzki, Frida Kahlo und/oder Diego Reviera.
Was haltet ihr von sowas? Ich bin nicht ganz sicher #pnpde

The Maya script is really beautiful, and the story to decipher it is amazing.

Es sind manchmal die einfachsten Funde, die am spannendsten sind. Bauschutt kann nämlich ungeahnt spannend sein. Es fand sich nämlich im Bauschutt diese Bemalung, die wahrscheinlich zu einem #Kalender gehörte, dem ältesten bekannten #Mayakalender der Welt.

Outside of my job, I enjoy #woodworking, riding my #ebike, and #boardGames if I ever overcome my pandemic inertia.
My posts are predominantly musings about my job in #vfx, or inflicting my neurospicy random thoughts on y'all.
I moved from mograph.social for better connectivity with the greater Fediverse.
Russian linguist, epigrapher, and ethnographer Yuri Knorozov, who died OTD in 1999, played a pivotal role in the decipherment of the Maya script used in Mesoamerica https://toilet-guru.com/blog/56.html?s=mb #Maya #linguistics
