Maya - Illusion
Maya: refers to cosmic illusion; the mysterious process that gives rise to phenomena and maintains the cosmos. According to this idea, the world is not simply what is seems to the human senses -- a view with which the 20th century western scientists wholly agree. Absolute reality, situated somewhere beyond the cosmic illusion woven by maya and beyond human experience as conditioned by karma. Absolute reality, beyond human perception.

The Magnificent Maya
Hidden deep beneath centuries of jungle overgrowth until the mid 1800s, the secret splendor of the magnificent Maya remains an enigma to researchers and scholars. Capable of complex civilization, art, astronomy, math and science dating back to 300 BC, the reasons for their rise and demise are still unclear, despite the fact that there are more than 4 million Maya alive today. What do we really know--and why don't we know more?

Evidence points to the Olmecs as the first emerging civilization of Mesoamerica, not the Maya. The discovery remains a quiet one--but should be getting as much attention as the discovery of Troy. Who's been keeping it quiet and why? Once more, an ancient culture emerges seemingly intact--with little evidence of early development. Where did the Olmecs come from? The find is wrought, still with controversy.
