Kurly TlapoyawaGUEST
These were both invented terms used to identify the Eucharist.
Kurly TlapoyawaGUEST
So you had to come up with new words to describe these ideas, right? And so one of the more notable examples of this practice comes from the invasion of the Yucatán, where the term Hunab Ku was invented by a Spanish friar named Antonio de Ciudad Real with the help of his Maya-speaking indigenous aides.
Kurly TlapoyawaGUEST
Hunab Ku was invented for his dictionary of Motul.
Kurly TlapoyawaGUEST
It was invented as a way to introduce the Maya to the idea of monotheism.
Kurly TlapoyawaGUEST
And here's the page from the actual, uh, diccionario de Motul, Hunab Ku right here, and the definition, "The only living and true God," which sounds very Catholic, right? Uh, also, the greatest of the gods of the people of Yucatán.
Kurly TlapoyawaGUEST
He had no form because they said he could not be represented as he was incorporeal.
Kurly TlapoyawaGUEST
And we suspect that this was done because later Maya people would be like, "Well, if this god is so important, how come he's not represented in any of our codices, in any of our architecture, in any of our murals, in any of the stelae? Why is there no existence of this idea of Hunab Ku?" And the Catholic friars could say, "Well, I mean, he could not be represented, right? You know, didn't you know this? Your ancestors knew this because Hunab Ku is obviously the only living and true God." Hunab Ku, this idea, was repopularized in the '90s by this individual, Domingo Martínez Paredes, a native speaker of Yucateco and a professor at UNAM.
Caroline AllenGUEST
All the way up as far as Canada, Northern Canada, there were rainforests.
Caroline AllenGUEST
And a y- a meteor hit the Yucatan, and it killed 75% of all life in, like, a few hours.
Caroline AllenGUEST
And all of these rainforests around the Earth died and decomposed, so a huge amount of freshwater plants slowly decomposing and delivering their mineral content back into the soil in the form of these molecules called hum- well, really they're those... at that point, they are humic molecules.
Caroline AllenGUEST
Now, the humic molecule actually has the ability to...
Chad WestportGUEST
Um, not true, because one way to tell is if you have, like, a bunch of them.
Chad WestportGUEST
So my last trip to the Yucatan, right, we were able to get something.
Chad WestportGUEST
Everything comes with seeds there.
Chad WestportGUEST
But some of them found their way here.
Tyler KiwalaHOST
I, I just-
Indigo AngelGUEST
Yeah, I didn't come across a specific stargate in Greenland, but I did come across a very significant ley line that's running from the Nord Station, um, down through this supposed UFO site, um, that runs down through Washington, DC, down through SS2, um, down to, through the Yucatan pyramids, and all the way down to Rapa Nui.
Indigo AngelGUEST
And it ties into some prophecy with the guardian heads.
Indigo AngelGUEST
I call them the Thousand Guardian Island.

James K. WhiteNARRATOR
Porfirio Diaz, who pacified all the rest of Mexico, could never make the Yaquis recognize the sovereignty of the Mexican government over their territory.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
He sent expedition after expedition against them, depleted their ranks by constant warfare, and took thousands of prisoners whom he shipped off to far-off Yucatan to labor as virtual slaves upon the Henneken plantations.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
But the atrocities of the Diaz soldiers merely aggravated the Indians' hatred of their would-be rulers.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
From time to time, in more recent years, groups of Yaquis have made their peace with the Mexican authorities.

James K. WhiteNARRATOR
Each visiting archaeologist scrapes off the fungus in order to obtain a clearer view of the carving, and with it scrapes off part of the carving.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
Near the columns are a few other queer rocks, fantastically cut to represent a frog or a turtle or some other creature, whose significance no one has been able to explain.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
These are the work of the Mayas, who peopled Yucatan and southern Mexico, while the Aztecs occupied the Mexican tableland.
James K. WhiteNARRATOR
While the earlier people of the north built pyramids, these people built temples and monuments of lesser stature, but with more elaborate ornamentation.
Donald HinesNARRATOR
The people were continually moving to escape the depredations of their hereditary foes the Lamanites, and they abandoned in turn all their cities established along the course of migration.
Donald HinesNARRATOR
The unprejudiced student sees in the discoveries of the ancient and now forest-covered cities of Mexico, Central America, Yucatan, and the northern regions of South America, collateral testimony having a bury upon this history.
Donald HinesNARRATOR
Before their more powerful foes, the Nephites dwindled and fled.
Donald HinesNARRATOR
Until about the year 400 AD, they were entirely annihilated after a series of decisive battles.

Possibly so dormant that only outright isolation by a fast-moving world will show it at its folly.
speaker_5VOICE_ACTOR
If you will tour Asia, Yucatan, or parts of Africa and Italy, you will find many sad ruins of past kingdoms.
speaker_5VOICE_ACTOR
Go to Indochina and visit its gigantic Angkor Vat.

Call it Damascus, Baghdad, and Samarkand.

Aidan MattisHOST
That appears to have been carved by flooding.
Aidan MattisHOST
But I think the suggestion is it was a comet that hit off the Yucatan.
Aidan MattisHOST
Or an asteroid that hit off the Yucatan.
Aidan MattisHOST
That's the crater that you were referring to earlier, yeah.
Aidan MattisHOST
Yeah, that's the suggested, like, this seems like the most likely option.
