Cincinnati Museum Center brings mysteries of the Maya to US March 14

超过300件文物突出首次亮相玛雅:展览

CINCINNATI – Cincinnati Museum Center (CMC) is bringing the mysteries of the Maya to the United States for the first time. 玛雅:展览 immerses guests in a sophisticated civilization buried in the heart of the rainforest. Unearth a world of gods and innovators when the exhibition opens March 14.

玛雅:展览 特色超过300个原始对象，详细的日常生活, 宗教, 玛雅人的政治和创新. The exhibit design features the civilization’s iconic stepped pyramids and the vibrant colors of Maya artwork. Pristinely preserved clay and stucco figurines and elaborate jade and gold jewelry showcase their artistry. Hieroglyphs carved into massive stone slabs demonstrate their sophisticated writing and passion for history. Large stone carvings and massive stucco sculptures portray the large pantheon of Maya deities. And tools and everyday items reveal the foods, work and play that defined daily life. Interactive elements allow guests to get a more intimate look at certain objects and to even manipulate data from modern archaeological equipment that is allowing for greater discoveries.

“Discoveries of the last 20 years have transformed our understanding of the people and why the great Maya cities were abandoned in the heart of Central America,Dave Duszynski说道, vice president of featured experiences at Cincinnati Museum Center. “Never before has such a spectacular set of Maya artifacts traveled to North America. We are thankful that Guatemala is sharing these amazing national treasures with Cincinnati.”

The Maya flourished in cities of stone carved into the jungles of Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Their civilization dates back to 2000 BC but reached its height in 600 AD, a period when its population density surpassed every other in the world. 他们对科学的理解, astronomy and mathematics was equal to or greater than other world cultures. 他们是早期的颠覆者——发明家, innovators and geniuses whose accomplishments continue to shape our daily lives.

By studying the stars they developed a calendar more accurate than any other in the world. Their utilization of the number zero opened the door for advanced mathematics. Rubber balls were essential to Maya sports centuries before the “discovery” of vulcanized rubber. 他们向世界介绍了巧克力.
“With the Maya we can explore and see how people without any contact to other civilizations in Europe, 非洲和亚洲也有类似的想法, 发明和解决方案,”医生说。. 尼古拉·格鲁伯，博物馆馆长 玛雅:展览 and professor of anthropology of the Americas at the University of Bonn.

While the exhibition looks back at the height of the Maya civilization, it also looks at the millions today who still speak a Mayan language and the many more who are direct descendants. Far from being a lost or ancient civilization, the Maya thrive today in renewed vibrancy.

玛雅文明从未消失. 他还. “This was a very romanticized 19th century European perspective on the Maya. 雨林中的大城市失去了什么. The Maya of today preserve many ideas, languages and forms of living of their ancestors.”

The exhibition also includes a section focusing on the archaeological work the University of Cincinnati is doing at Maya sites in Central America. The local companion gallery will feature hands-on activity stations, 丰富的图片, international research and applied science that continue to enhance our understanding of how the Maya lived, 管理资源, developed settlements and described and organized the environment around them. The gallery reveals recent discoveries and invites guests to consider how the strategies of Maya innovation and adaptation might apply to parallel changes we face today.
