2012: Who makes the profit?
2012-02-07 22:19:00 Watch this clip from The Stream on Al Jazeera. Here Quetzil Castañeda and Alejandra Garcia Quintanilla discuss who actually makes the profit of the whole 2012 circus. I will most likely not visit any part of the Maya area this year so I will not be supporting the tourist industry. Filed under: New age and creationism ...

2012-02-07 22:19:00 After one year I actually got a short presentation of myself on the homepage of the Department of Historical Studies at the University of Gothenburg (Göteborg s universitet, GU). Filed under: Uncategorized Tagged: Göteborg, University of Gothenburg
A ketchup effect
2012-02-07 22:19:00 Do not expect any longer posts in the next two weeks or so on this blog. The reason is that I have a couple of deadlines for articles and I really should send away a bunch of articles as soon as possible. The deadline articles are the articles Caves in the Cochuah region and Miniature ...
Speculations of how cumulative time was replaced by cyclical time
2012-02-07 22:19:00 A year from now I will send away an application for a new project. There is plenty of time to develop some ideas and time is exactly the central part of the project. It will take too long to describe the overall frame of the project idea as it melts ideas from neuroscience (or rather ...
New book on ancient Maya technology
2012-02-07 22:19:00 A new book has just been published on ancient Maya technology. Those seeking to know something about intergalactic travelling devices, such as stargates, will be greatly disappointed. This is book is called The Technology of Maya Civilization: Political Economy and Beyond in Lithic Studies and is edited by Geoffrey Braswell, Zachary X. Hruby, and Oswaldo Chinchilla Mazariegos. This ...
2012: Events that should have occurred if the Long Count is cyclical
2012-02-07 22:19:00 Many 2012ers believe that the Long Count calendar is cyclical and that creation events literally will repeat (they believe Maya mythology describes real events). If we follow this logic people would have seen some pretty amazing events in the last two centuries. Inscriptions from Palenque describe events that took place before the creation of the ...
Happy Water Dragon Year
2012-02-07 22:19:00 Today it is the first day of the Chinese lunisolar year. It is not just the year of the Dragon, but the year of the Water Dragon, to be followed by the year of the Water Snake next year. Let’s not hope some people connects these facts with some other beings believed to be associated ...
2012: How to deal with cranks
2012-02-07 22:19:00 I have read two contrasting texts this weekend. The first one is related to Semir Osmanagic?s visit to the Linnaeus University last year, after an invitation by Cornelius Holtorf. In an article called Beyond crusades: how (not) to engage with alternative archaeologies Holtorf is appalled about the way archaeologists deals with ?alternative? or ?fringe? archaeologists, ...

Four bear skulls found in a cenote
2012-02-07 22:19:00 Guillermo de Anda’s team has found four bear skulls in a cenote that may date back to the end of the Ice-Age. They appear to have been found 50 m below the surface and the cenote was not filled with water at the time of their death. Filed under: Archaeology, Climate and related issues, Mayanist studies ...
CRAS is ready for a new season
2012-02-07 22:19:00 I have been affiliated with the Cochuah Regional Archaeological Survey (CRAS) since 2003. This has resulted in five field seasons for me (2003, 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2010). The fieldwork has given me data for my dissertation project on causeways and my postdoctoral project on caves and climate change. I have designed my new project on ... Mer om: Mexico
EMC 2012 in Helsinki calls for papers
2012-02-07 22:19:00 This year’s European Maya Conference (EMC) will be held in Helsinki. The theme of the conference is On Methods: How we know what we think we know about the Maya. I am not sure if I will attend it yet since I only participate in conferences where I deliver a paper of my own. Hence, ...
2012: My first 2012 related article
2012-02-07 22:19:00 I have just sent away a short contribution to a special issue of the online journal in public archaeology called JAS Arquelogía. The issue will deal with Semir Osmanagic and the fact that he was invited to a Swedish University last year. My contribution, apart from being the first blog post about this event, will primarily discuss the connections ... Mer om: New Age
2012: SNL attempts to make ?fun? of the ?Mayan calendar?
2012-02-07 22:19:00 Saturday Night Live attempts to make fun of the 2012 circus but the most amusing part of the video was clearly unintended. In this video you will find jokes that have been around for a while, such as the “Mayans ran out of space and stopped” or “the circle was not big enough”. What is ...
2012: Friday the 13th
2012-02-07 22:19:00 Today it is Friday the 13th in the year of 13 Baktun.

2012: Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall
2012-02-07 22:19:00 As a critic of the 2012 circus, should I add more fuel to it or should I not? I have already suggested that 2012ers should look at 2027 if (or rather when) nothing happens later this year. 2027 is when the Aztec Calendar Round comes to a full circle next time (and the 2027ers can ...
