6 The Essence of Maya For their great achievements and advances in the fields of both science and art, the Maya are considered the most original and sophisticated ancient culture of the American continents. Already in the sixteenth century, the Spaniards marveled at the complexity of this civilization and the splendor of its architecture. For example, in his Relación de las cosas de Yucatán (Account of the Things of the Yucatán), the priest Fray Diego de Landa highlights the grandiosity of the monuments of Izamal, Chichén Itzá, Mayapán, and T hó, the ancient city of Puuc that was painstakingly destroyed to proudly found Mérida, the very heart of Spanish dominion in the northern Maya lands. Despite these early impressions, not until the nineteenth century would explorers and travelers acquaint the modern world with the spectacular Maya cities that lay hidden in the jungles of southwest Mexico and Central America. These same sites offer valuable evidence today of a unique culture, one that underwent astonishing development which would only be possible within the framework of social, political, and economic organization.

As more and more travelers visited the region and gave reports of the spectacular Maya sites, myths about this culture began to spread, inspired by the travelers amazement at these enigmatic cities. It was only natural to wonder who had built and lived in them, a question that gave rise to myriad hypotheses on their true origin. Thus, for example, for the explorer Augustus Le Plongeon ( ), the only possible explanation for how such a culture could have developed in America was that it was the work of immigrants from Atlantis, an idea taken up again by his wife, Alice Dixon Le Plongeon ( ), for the plot of her work Queen Móo s Talisman. CONTENTS The Essence of Maya 7
8 Photo: Luis Alberto Martos López. Panorama of the inner precinct at Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico, After the Second World War new myths fired the imagination, idealizing Maya culture. Scholars tried to find in the Maya an exemplary society a unique civilization in which aggression and warfare had no place; a people that lived in harmony throughout its history and came to realize grand achievements under the beneficent, peaceful, and wise leadership of its kings and priests. It was only logical, following the bleak horrors of the war, to long for the existence of a peaceful society devoted to agriculture, commerce, the observation of the heavens, and the development of the arts and sciences. As research advanced, however, the myth collapsed. Notwithstanding their accomplishments, we know today that warfare among the Maya was as common as their mathematic calculations or agricultural techniques. Based on this research, and shedding all myths and hypotheses, we shall attempt to identify the essence of Maya. What elements define this peculiar culture that forms part of the Mesoamerican mosaic? There is no simple answer, given that this was a civilization that developed great knowledge in science and the arts. But exhaustive analysis of archaeological, historical, and epigraphic findings brings us closer to understanding Maya essence. Its defining characteristics fall into two general categories: formal and functional. On the seacoast there are some caverns, on the coast of Polé [Xcaret] and Ascension Bay, that hurl water up among the hollows within the crags and rise more than two spears high.

10 INAH FCAS Collection Polychrome codex-style drinking vessel with a concave base, convex bottom, outward-curving walls, and slender rim. It is classified as a codex because of the paintings alluding to a deity, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures, and glyphic inscriptions. This piece is illustrated with three richly attired figures framed by geometric elements. The one shown in the photograph holds a scepter in his left hand a distinctive attribute of rulers or priests.
11 Formal Characteristics Some of the formal characteristics that define Maya essence are the following: 1. The development of an artistic style characterized by certain conventions of perspective, mainly flat or bidimensional, with a particular subject matter and iconography expressed in its architecture, sculpture, painting, ceramics, and stonework. The sculptural monuments consist of stelae, lintels, panels, tablets, and freestanding sculptures. In reliefs and paintings, the human figure is generally represented with the face shown in profile and the body frontally, emphasizing physical features and attire. The subject matter usually relates to the dynastic history of the Lords, their conquests, marriages, alliances, and rituals. There are also allusions to deities and their symbology; in ceramics there are scenes of daily life, as well as myths and legends. Photo: Esteban Mirón Marván. Stela N, Copán, Honduras, A logosyllabic writing system expressed in stone reliefs or modeled in stucco, mural painting, painted books, ceramics, woodcarving, and sgraffito in various materials such as jade, shell, and bone. Maya writing combines logograms (glyphs that express words, actions, or titles) with phonetic characters corresponding to syllables. For that reason the office of the scribe, or Aj Dzib, was specialized and required study. Photo: Patricia Carrillo Medrano. Stucco mask, Edzná, Campeche, Mexico, Photo: Patricia Carrillo Medrano.
