The Maya
Mayan civilization flourished in Mesoamerica, reaching its zenith from c. 250 to 900 CE. Along with other pre-Columbian groups, the Mayans developed a spectacular culture filled with art, architecture, mathematics, and astronomy. The Maya traded extensively with other civilizations like the Aztec, Olmec, and Zapotec. Trade goods and information were shared widely.

The first communities which can be clearly distinguished as Mayan were established in 1800 B.C. These early people relied on agriculture rather than the nomadic existence of hunter gatherers.

The post The Maya appeared first on Richard Cassaro.
Richard Cassaro is a journalist, speaker and author of “Written In Stone: Decoding The Secret Masonic Religion Hidden In Gothic Cathedrals And World Architecture.” The book uncovers a lost Wisdom Tradition that was practiced globally in antiquity, found memorialized in pyramids, Triptychs, and identical images worldwide. The central tenets of this tradition have been perpetuated in Western Secret Societies. The most visible of these is the so-called “Masonic Fraternity,” an age-old chivalric Order whose ranks have included Europe’s Gothic cathedral builders and America’s Founding Fathers. Richard has two websites: www.DeeperTruth.com and www.RichardCassaro.com

Richard Cassaro must be broke as a joke, he’s posting his own bs.. but he desperately wants you to buy his “two” books.. and or take a trip with his limited liability tour company.. he limited his liability so that if something goes horribly wrong, you can’t take any money from his broke business! If his little business had money, he wouldn’t have to be posting ads himself after midnight.. too funny!
