The Mesoamerican ballgame is among the most important and enduring cultural features of the Pre-Columbian world, and its accompanying accoutrements of yokes, hachas, and palmas comprise one of the most important categories of stone sculpture. The objects known as hachas, the Spanish word for “axes”, were originally named for their tapering form’s supposed resemblance to large stone axe heads. Like yokes and palmas, these enigmatic stone artifacts probably represent ritual effigies of actual ballgame equipment that was probably made of lighter and more perishable materials. These ceremonial objects in stone were evidently of high value, but many questions remain around the context in which they were originally used. The bold and assured carving of the present hacha illustrates several features that are particularly distinctive to hachas depicting bats. These include the large, pricked, ears, the depiction of the tragus, the fleshy form at the lower part of the ear, and the perforation in the upper half, which Shook and Marquis note “seldom occurs on specimens in other categories” (Edwin M. Shook and Elayne Marquis, op. cit., p. 77). Interestingly, this perforation is present on almost every hacha from the great Mayan city state of Palenque (ibid.). Although illustrating features distinctive to a bat, something in the powerful physiognomy of this hacha seems to suggest a snarling jaguar. This hacha differs from most depictions of jaguars in hachas – although the fleshy snout suggests the big cat more than the bat – but Shook and Marquis note the resemblance, and state that “perhaps bat/jaguar/serpent would more accurately describe this representation.” (ibid., p. 80). The serpent, which here arches up from the bat’s snout, its slithering head atop the bat’s ear, was a creature with “important mythological connotations, and often associated with water and rain.” (ibid., p. 171). Hachas with secondary representations are rare.

Horaires du Train Maya tels que affichés sur le site web
Information on subsidies is not easily available, nor is it clear to me where #TrenMaya stands in terms of ramp up. I could see that some routes further south, in particular #Chetumal to #Palenque only has one train a day. That is not a good way to manage […]

#reinaroja #palenque.- Se conoce como la Reina Roja a la osamenta encontrada en 1994 en el Templo XIII de las ruinas de Palenque. Aunque su identidad todavía no se ha confirmado, las investigaciones sugieren que podría tratarse de la esposa del ahau Pakal.

🙃 La reciente presentación de #AlejandroFernández en el #Palenque de la #FeriaDeQuerétaro se volvió viral, no solo por su potencia vocal, sino por las especulaciones de que aparece desorientado e incluso parece contener náuseas, lo que llevó a usuarios a sugerir un posible exceso de alcohol 🤔
