Part 5 of 5.  Thanks, Joe Awe!  Surely there's a lot more to come.


"There are 2 interesting ideas that we do not agree with in as far as what points to why the Maya developed such high culture.  The first is the Hyper Diffusionist Theory.  This theory suggests that an external culture came into America and help develop the Maya, such as the Phoenicians and/or the Egyptians.  The second is Local Diffusion.  This suggests that there was a mother culture in America (Cultura Madre), such as the Olmec, Zapotec or Teotihuacan cultures, from which the ancient Maya developed."

Belize History from Nine Eco Cultural Tours

Joe Awe's new tour operation, Nine Eco Cultural Tours, has a really cool history page.  From man's start in Belize to the Maya, it's there.  Nine is going to take off!

 

"Inside this haven rich with wildlife, pristine rivers, lakes and streams, and formidable forests many cultures will come to the fore including, among many, the Olmec who are considered the ‘cultura madre’ (Mother culture) of all Mesoamerican cultures, the Zapotecs who are credited with the original writing process, the Mixtecs, and of course, the Maya who evolved from the original Paleo Indians and Archaic people."
