    On page 343, I found a great example of the Mayan art. The art piece is called Lintel 24 from Yaxchilan. This art piece is a sculpture. The sculpture has written symbols on the sides of it. There is a King standing holding a flaming torch. In it as well is his wife kneeling in front of him facing towards him. This is a really interesting sculpture because it has true meaning to the Mayans. The sculpture also has the wife drawing blood from her tongue. She has patterned clothing on. Their clothing is very detailed with textures.…

    To the Maya this science reflected order in the universe and the gods place. David Carrasco mentions what time and space meant to the Maya people and states, “The passage of time was created by supernatural forces that emanated from the sky and the underworld and converged on the earthly level. In this manner, human time and space were filled with sacred forces” (72). In other words, to the Mayans, capturing the essence of time was of the utmost importance. In the other hand Hunbatz Men states something different about astronomy “They also understood that our galaxy had another graphic configuration, which they adopted and began to use as the mathematical symbol for the milky way. This new symbol was that of the egg, visible in the Mayan hieroglyphs they called it G” (34). What Hunbatz Men really means is that to the Mayan the letter “G” represents the milky way, sacredness, egg creator, the essence, and the beginning. As we can conclude both authors have different perspectives views and thoughtsn towards Mayan…

The front line directly faced the enemy; the space in between the front lines of the defenders and the attackers is known as “No Man’s Land” were usually the dead bodies are during the war.

In the trenches, there was living quarters, kitchens, hospitals and dugouts of all sorts, which were essentially caves dug into the back side of the trench. The trenches were necessary when two armies face a stalemate, with neither side able to win and overtake the other.…
