Arnadottir, Anna LU ; Olsson, Tim LU ; Grönwall, Rigmor LU and Righetti, Cesare (2018)
Abstract
The Mayans have lived in central America for over 3000 years. In a region that today belongs to Mexico, Guatemala and Belize the Mayaculture lives on. Throughout history the Mayans have observed the skies above, made up stories and legends and looked to the skies for answers.
In a feast of colours and sounds, Mayan Archaeoastronomy: Observers of the Universe makes a tour of 6 Mayan temples: San Gervasio, Chichen Itzá, Uxmal, Edzná, Palenque and Bonampak where the spectator dives into a Mayan world of knowledge about the importance of the orientations of its temples in relation to the movement of some stars like the Sun, the Moon and Venus.
Abstract (Swedish)
Mayafolket har levt i över 3000 år på Yucatánhalvön, i Mellanamerika. I det område som idag tillhör Mexico, Guatemala och Belize, lever Mayakulturen kvar. Precis som människor har gjort i alla tider, så har även Mayafolket tittat upp mot natthimlen och ställt sig frågan: vad gör vi här?
I alla Mayafolkets byggnader vördades tid som någonting heligt. Redan för hundratals år sedan föreställde sig Mayafolket att mänsklighetens början och slut fanns i stjärnorna. I denna visning tas vi med på en resa bland tempel och gudar, vägledda av Mayafolkets astronomer, som också var präster.
