SUMMARY:A Modern Journey Through the Ancient Mayan World
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe Mayans are part of a larger Mesoamerican civilization\,
  defined by the United Nation’s World Heritage Convention as one the six
  birthplaces of human civilization. This talk will share some of the key a
 spects of the ancient Mayan society but it will be done primarily as the s
 peaker recounts his travels through the Mayan world over the past ten year
 s.  While some locations (Chichen Itza and Tulum) are among the standard 
 tourist destinations in Mexico\, most of the sites are a bit off the norma
 l tourist track and some are a bit of adventure to visit.\n\nPerhaps the m
 ost interesting feature of this exploration is that knowledge of the Mayan
  world is in its infancy. In the coming years our rudimentary knowledge of
  the Maya will be greatly expanded. It is exciting to become a part of tha
 t process if only as a spectator.\n\nAbout the presenter: Jim Craft is a c
 areer consultant and local historian. He does research\, writing\, and pre
 sentations at various venues around the country. He is currently working o
 n a series of booklets\, having completed two thus far: The Good Roads Mov
 ement\, 1888-1926\, and New York’s Burned-over District.\n\nThis program
  will be in the Library’s lower-level meeting room. Registration is appr
 eciated. Scroll down to register on the Library’s events calendar or cal
