Scared MAYA Kingship at Dallas Museum of Art



We went to visited the special exhibition of Dallas Museum of Art in late Feb. The exhibition opens a window of the past to the most world's ancient civilization - Maya people.
"Lords of Creation: The Origins of Sacred Maya Kingship explores the development of divine kingship among the ancient Maya, who lived in an area that encompassed modern southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and western Honduras."
Jose was so excited to see several objects acquired from the museum in Honduras.
For myself, I was amaze to see how Maya culture was so florish as much as we are now in our society. Maya people created a lot of the unique of art works from jade, clay, brick, metal. They also created their own language, and calendar.
Nows a day, there are not many Maya people left. The world is forgetting these people and move forward. Same thing happen in Thailand; my country. I don't know in the next 10-20 years how many Thai people who really appreciate Traditional Thai Art, music, food....... will have left.
