7:40pm MAYAN MYSTERIES UNRAVELED

A presentation by Kay Leather

The Maya is a Mesoamerican civilization, noted for the only fully
developed written language of the pre-Columbian Americas, as well as its
spectacular art, monumental architecture, and sophisticated mathematical
and astronomical systems. In this presentation Kay will explore the
remarkable astronomy of the Maya and discuss recent discoveries.

8:30pm Coffee Break

8:45pm DAWN OF THE MAYA
A National Geographic Special (DVD)
There is the great Maya civilization that we know and another that we
are just discovering. Archealogists have recently discovered another
Maya civilization that existed more than a thousand years before and,
outshines the classical one that we know of. Its revelations are
momentous: This civilization may have been one of the greatest that the
world has ever known.
