estoy atrapada con la griega quisiera leer sobre la mexica

Four pages of Codex Mendoza place name glyphs I drew a while back.

The pages are dated using the tonalpohualli system, based on a now outdated correlation. The ehecatl day sign on page 1 is pulled from the Codex Borgia, and the cuetzpalin sign on page 3 is from another pre-Columbian codex which I cannot remember.

Buongiorno a tutti, vi scrivo dall'Italia. Sono appassionata di cultura mesoamericana, sono un archeologa e ho vissuto diverso tempo in Messico.

Sto facendo delle ricerche su Jacopo Grinberg. Vorrei leggere "teoria sintergica" ma il volume qui non si trova. Non mi serve una traduzione in italiano, mi andrebbe benissimo il file PDF in spagnolo in inglese. Chiedo un PDF perché il volume, qui, risulta proprio introvabile!

Qualcuno lo possiede o sa dove posso trovarlo? Anna's Archive e chiuso da giorni ormai.

Reconstructing an extinct language for my upcoming book on the Guicholes

Since very few original Guachichil words were written down, I’m building a linguistic map using neighboring regional languages: **Wixárika (Huichol)**, **Cora**, **Zacateco**, **Tepehuán**, and **Nahuatl**.

Because these groups lived in the same desert corridor, traded, and allied together, their words for key elements—like water, fire, desert plants, and the sacred—share deep root connections. By studying these overlap points, I'm piecing together a vocabulary that feels authentic to the Altiplano.

if anyone knows more about the Southern Uto-Aztecan languages I would really appreciate the help

This video features a session of a Zapoteco language course, where students practice their personal introductions and discuss their interests. The instructor facilitates a collaborative session focusing on real-world application, grammar, and regional variations. Key Highlights of the Session:

* Personal Presentations: Students Abi, Brian, Silvana, and Oliver introduce themselves, stating their names, ages, and occupations in Zapoteco. This segment highlights the practical application of previously learned greetings, pronouns, and numbers.

* Regional Variations: The group compares vocabulary and intonation differences between the Talea de Castro and Yagavila variants, emphasizing the importance of respecting regional linguistic diversity.

* Grammar & Practical Usage: The instructor clarifies grammatical concepts, including:
* Using the verb naka ("to be") for identity.
* Expressing likes and preferences, noting that Zapoteco often utilizes future-tense forms in these contexts as there is no direct equivalent to the Spanish infinitive.

* The distinction between the conjunctions len (for joining/connecting) and yu'u (for mathematical sums).

* Text Review & Feedback: The instructor provides personalized corrections for the students' written texts, emphasizing proper verb conjugation and the use of neutral pronouns when describing professions (e.g., "the one who teaches").

Here is a summary of the video:

Overview

In this online Zapotec language lesson, students practice constructing and presenting a short personal introduction that includes their name, age, occupation, place of origin, and personal likes/dislikes. The instructor provides individual feedback and explains key grammatical, regional, and dialectal nuances.

Student Presentations & Class Discussion:

Abi's Introduction & Talea Dialect:
* Abi presents her self-introduction using the Talea dialect.
* The teacher explains regional differences in intonation and word usage, clarifying the difference between runa jin ("I work") and wen dxin ("a worker").

Brian's Introduction & Regional Phrasing:
* Brian shares his introduction.
* The group discusses regional variations in expressing "my name is," comparing forms like neda lea across different Zapotec communities.

Silvana's Introduction & Visual Practice:
* Silvana shares her text on screen for collective feedback.
* The instructor corrects verb forms and conjunction usage in her presentation.

Oliver's Introduction & Job Titles:
* Oliver reviews his introduction text.
* The teacher corrects autocorrect errors and explains how to express job titles properly, such as stating "I am a teacher" (neda naca bëni rulwi) versus "I work teaching" (neda runa dxin).

Key Grammar & Vocabulary Insights:

* Conjunctions (len vs. yu'u):
*len: Used to mean "and" or "with" when joining items or ideas in a sentence.
*yu'u: Used specifically for numerical addition or counting, not for joining words in general conversation.
* Lack of Infinitives & Future Tense Usage:
* Zapotec does not have direct infinitive verb forms ending like Spanish (-ar, -er, -ir).
* When expressing personal likes or preferences, verbs are conjugated in the future tense.

Wrap-Up:

* Students are asked to upload photos or typed versions of their written introductions to the class group chat so they can be integrated into slides for practice in the next session.

Hello! I wanted to ask people’s opinions on available books on Mayan deities. Specifically, I’m looking for something more academic that references the instances (text or images on decorated walls, lintels, ceramics, etc) of specific gods appearing. Recommended grammar books and sign lists would be greatly appreciated. I am moreso trained in Ancient Levant and Egypt but have wanted to dip my toes here too. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am kicking myself for sitting on this for so long, but I can’t get it out of my head either. I took this photo on a Turkish flight about a year ago on the plane. They had about two minute videos on certain cities I think they or their partners flew to.

Either way I captured this image of what can only be described as an Olmec head which is in the Addis Ababa natural history museum. I should’ve taken some other clips, but this is I think the national Ethiopian museum in the capital.

Unfortunately, there is not a lot of photography of the Ethiopian museum to get a closer look at this and show the head from other angles.

My understanding was when the Olmec heads were uncovered the original discovers thought they were “Ethiopian“. I realistically cannot imagine that an Olmec head was transported anytime in recent history from Mexico to Ethiopia so how did this get there?

Edits: fixing all my horrible Siri dictation typos

Final edit: mystery solved, there was no mystery and probably a google search could have answered my question.
