National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) find stone reliefs depicting cultural information about the Kaanu’l dynasty in Mexico.
By Radu El Fakih Calina Columnist of Spanglish World Networks, La Ronda del Dia & La Portada Canada TORONTO. - At first glance, many of us may be inclined to dismiss the world of Mayan archaeology as washed out or lacking in recent discoveries but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In the past few decades, the archaeological community in Mexico has played a huge role in helping to further illuminate their past by finding a multitude of different artefacts and sites. Recently, in the lush green forest of the Yucatan Peninsula, their dedication to the past was proven once again as archaeologists working for INAH and the Federal Ministry of Culture discovered two new artefacts which could help us revolutionize our understanding of Mayan culture in the area. In the Dzibanché Archaeological Zone in Quintana Roo, archaeologists unearthed two stone platforms with stucco reliefs which are believed to belong to the Kaanu’l dynasty who ruled the lands of Mexico, Belize and Guatemala from around 250 to 650 AD. According to a statement given by INAH, the reliefs could play a huge role in furthering our understanding of Mayan culture in the area and period being looked at by highlighting the different beliefs and views held by said dynasty during what we now call the Early to Late Classic period in Mayan history. What did the reliefs actually represent? The reliefs themselves consisted of 3 different scenes located on platforms which were unearthed west of a Ball Court where the Mayans would have played Pitz which was an ancient sport/game popularized by the Mayans. This proximity to the Ball Court is fascinating as the game itself played a ceremonial role in the day-to-day lives of the inhabitants of this vast empire. Thus any depictions on the reliefs could potentially be associated with the game and its meanings. The first stucco relief depicts two guardians flanking a pedestal that would have typically held a statuette or sculpture of some kind and there are glyphs surrounding the two guardians which state the name of a potential ruler of the Kaanu’l dynasty. The use of the glyphs and the guardians could thus imply that the relief was used by the ruling dynast to help immortalize themselves as part of history or maybe even invoke protection by trying to associate themselves with idealised mythical guardians. The second relief, on the other hand, depicted potential ancestors and snakes inhabiting the night sky which were two characteristics that are often depicted in both Mayan and Teotihuacan iconography due to the strong prevalent belief in ancestor worship and the snake being representative of gods such Quetzalcoatl. This concept of myth and invoking the spiritual is then continued in the third and final relief which contains a multitude of different mythological creatures with the intertwined serpent playing a major role similar to the previous two reliefs. This recurring pattern of serpents could potentially be alluding to the ruling family trying to legitimize their reign by invoking the creator deity Quetzalcoatl, thus suggesting that their reign is ordained by the gods. This in itself may not be interesting at first glance, but this type of behaviour has been seen in many different cultures such as in Roman, Greek, and Egyptian culture where the rulers affirm that they have a divine right to rule either due to descending from the divine or being otherwise blessed by the divine. To conclude the archaeologists working on the Dzibanché Archaeological Zone in Quintana Roo have been playing a significant role in helping us discover more about Mayan culture and through this recent discovery have found potential evidence that the concept of legitimizing the rule of rulers was not only limited to the east but that said behaviour is potentially universal and not limited by distance, culture, or time period. One thing is for certain though, our understanding of Mayan culture is still quite limited but on the bright side that means that new and exciting discoveries are being made every day and I hope to take you on a journey every week discussing these new discoveries as well as learning more about the past together.

Similitudes entre Pierre Poilievre y Donald Trump
Por Eduardo Harari Foto cortesía de saltwire.com Toronto. - Pierre Poilievre, líder del Partido Conservador de Canadá, y Donald Trump, expresidente de los Estados Unidos, comparten varias características en sus enfoques políticos y estilos de liderazgo, a pesar de pertenecer a contextos y países diferentes. A continuación, se analizan algunas de las similitudes más destacadas entre ambos. Retórica populista y antisistema Tanto Poilievre como Trump se han presentado como figuras "antisistema", posicionándose como defensores del pueblo frente a una élite política y económica que, según ellos, ha fallado en representar los intereses de la ciudadanía común. Poilievre ha criticado abiertamente a la burocracia gubernamental y a los políticos tradicionales, mientras que Trump ha utilizado constantemente la frase "drain the swamp" (vaciar el pantano) para referirse a su objetivo de eliminar la corrupción política. Uso de los medios sociales Ambos líderes han utilizado las redes sociales, especialmente Twitter, para comunicarse directamente con sus seguidores, eludir los medios tradicionales y generar una conexión más directa con el pueblo. Aunque Trump fue suspendido de Twitter tras el asalto al Capitolio en 2021, Poilievre ha aprovechado las plataformas digitales, especialmente en su campaña, para difundir su mensaje y movilizar a sus bases. Discurso contra la inmigración Trump es conocido por su postura dura en temas de inmigración, destacando la construcción del muro fronterizo con México. Poilievre, por su parte, ha adoptado una postura similar al criticar la política de inmigración y las restricciones relacionadas con la pandemia, señalando la necesidad de un sistema de inmigración más riguroso y controlado, aunque su discurso no ha sido tan radical como el de Trump. Críticas a los medios de comunicación Ambos líderes han sido muy críticos con los medios de comunicación, a los que acusan de parcialidad y de distorsionar la verdad. Trump popularizó el término "fake news" (noticias falsas), mientras que Poilievre ha utilizado la misma estrategia para descalificar a los medios que considera no favorables a su agenda. Enfoque en la economía y el libre mercado Tanto Trump como Poilievre han defendido políticas económicas orientadas al libre mercado, promoviendo recortes de impuestos y regulaciones más flexibles para incentivar el crecimiento económico. Ambos han utilizado el discurso económico para atraer a votantes que buscan soluciones a los problemas económicos, tales como la inflación o el desempleo. Carácter polarizador Ambos líderes se caracterizan por ser figuras polarizadoras. Mientras que Trump ha dividido profundamente a la sociedad estadounidense, Poilievre también ha generado un fuerte debate en Canadá, con una base de apoyo fiel pero también muchos detractores. Ambos se benefician de la lealtad inquebrantable de sus seguidores, pero a la vez, sus discursos y políticas a menudo generan un rechazo significativo en sectores de la oposición. En resumen, aunque Pierre Poilievre y Donald Trump operan en contextos políticos diferentes, comparten un enfoque populista, una retórica confrontativa y una visión clara sobre la economía y la inmigración. Ambos representan una corriente política que desafía las estructuras tradicionales y ha movilizado a un segmento significativo de la población a través de un estilo de liderazgo directo y polarizador.

Networks TORONTO. - The Toronto Maple Leafs faced a tough challenge in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference 1st-round series against the Boston Bruins, but they're gearing up for a fierce comeback in Game 2 at TD Garden. With the Bruins leading 1-0 after a commanding 5-1 victory, the Leafs are determined to turn the tide and even the series. In Game 1, the Leafs found themselves trailing early as John Beecher opened the scoring for the Bruins just 2:26 into the 1st period. Despite a valiant effort, including a goal from David Kampf in the 3rd period, Toronto's offensive firepower, led by stars like Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, and John Tavares, was held silent. However, the Leafs know they must step up quickly to avoid falling into a deeper hole in the series. History has favored the Bruins in recent matchups, with Boston winning their last eight meetings and dominating this season's head-to-head encounters, outscoring Toronto 20-8. Brad Marchand, in particular, has been a thorn in the Leafs' side, boasting an impressive playoff record against Toronto. Despite the daunting statistics, the Maple Leafs remain undaunted. Milestones have marked this season for players like Matthews and William Nylander, and the team has been building towards playoff success. General Manager Brad Treliving's offseason acquisitions focused on adding grit and depth to the roster, providing head coach Sheldon Keefe with a versatile lineup capable of battling against tough opponents like the Bruins. Injuries have tested Toronto's depth throughout the season, especially in goal, where Ilya Samsonov has shouldered much of the workload. However, the emergence of Joseph Woll has provided additional support, ensuring the Leafs are prepared for any challenges that come their way. As they head into Game 2, the Maple Leafs are ready to showcase their resilience and determination. With a newfound sense of grit and chemistry, fueled by the desire to overcome their playoff demons against the Bruins, Toronto is poised to put up a fierce fight. While the ghosts of playoffs past linger in fans' minds, TSN's Matt Cauz exudes a note of playoff-era optimism, asserting, "This is a great opportunity for the Leafs to write a new chapter." Acknowledging the past, Cauz underscores Toronto's evolution, affirming, "Toronto is certainly stronger and bigger than they have been in the past." However, the lingering question persists – can the Leafs break through offensively? Cauz emphasizes, "That’s something we haven't seen from this team in ages." With the spotlight firmly on Toronto's scoring prowess, Game 2 sets the stage for a pivotal showdown, where redemption and resurgence collide on the ice. As the battle intensifies, the Leafs are poised for a relentless pursuit of victory, driven by a collective resolve to etch their names in the annals of playoff glory. The stage is set, the puck drops, and the hockey world watches with bated breath as Toronto and Boston renew their historic rivalry in a quest for supremacy. The stage is set for an intense showdown in Boston as the Leafs look to even the series and shift the momentum in their favor. Can Toronto's stars find their scoring touch and lead the team to victory, or will the Bruins continue their dominance? Hockey fans everywhere will be eagerly watching as these two historic rivals clash once again in pursuit of playoff glory. The puck drops at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, and hockey fans will want to take advantage of every minute of the action.
