O ovoj e-knjizi
Mayan Astronomy explores the remarkable astronomical achievements of the Maya civilization and how these shaped their society. The Maya, flourishing in Mesoamerica, developed sophisticated calendar systems, including the Tzolk'in, Haab, and Long Count, to track time and predict events. Their observatories, like those at Chichen Itza and Uaxactun, were strategically aligned with celestial events, demonstrating a deep understanding of the cosmos. This book delves into how Mayan astronomical knowledge was interwoven with their religious, social, and political life. It examines architecture, codices, and mythology to reveal the celestial code that influenced their civilization's rise and fall. By drawing on archaeological evidence and insights from Mayanist scholars, the book provides a comprehensive perspective on the Maya's intellectual achievements and their impact on agriculture, warfare, and dynastic power.
The book progresses by first introducing fundamental concepts of Mayan astronomy, then dissecting the intricacies of their calendar system, and finally examining the architectural marvels that served as observatories. This approach offers a holistic view of the relationship between Mayan astronomy and their sociopolitical structures, distinguishing itself by moving beyond simple descriptions to explore its profound impact on Mayan civilization and its eventual decline.
