Rare Saint Greg Posted November 30, 2022 Author #1153 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Mayans liked flat foreheads and crossed eyes. She’s saying that what they put on the forehead also crosses the eyes. At other sites I’ve been told they would put something between a babies eyes so they would focus on it and go cross-eyed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted November 30, 2022 Author #1154 Share Posted November 30, 2022 This is what a Mayan ruler would have looked like. A lot of jade which they did not have around here. They had it in Belize and Guatemala. You may remember from Altun Ha that was where the Jade head was found. The crown jewel of Belize. In the temple that is on the Belikin Beer bottle. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted November 30, 2022 Author #1156 Share Posted November 30, 2022 That’s an all spice tree. They had those at Altun ha in Belize. The leaves smell like cinnamon. That’s where we were told bodies would be covered in them to take the smell away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
