The ancient Maya city of Uxmal is showcased in a captivating aerial image that truly captures its grandeur. ❤️
Although the exact timeline of Uxmal's abandonment is uncertain and debated by scholars, it is widely believed that the city was occupied for a longer period than its southern counterparts, whose cities began to decline in the 9th century. Some argue that Uxmal may have functioned as an active political capital until the 10th century or even later, despite evidence suggesting otherwise.
Modern-day archaeologists are still studying the ruins of Uxmal, including its iconic pyramid and the grand House of the Governor, to gain insight into how the Maya civilization adapted to various challenges posed by enemies and changes in the natural environment. The exploration of Uxmal has brought to light new discoveries, which provide us with a deeper understanding of what life was like over a thousand years ago in this ancient city.

I posted a new geometry perspective I found while considering alternative variations of Metatron’s Cube. In the process, I found an entirely new higher dimension of the cube at center with accurate aspect ratios (at least I have never seen such a hypercube nested within Metatron’s cube like this before) Namirha Ahriman posted this overlay of my geometry drawing on top of the Last Supper (which Incidentally, I spent several hours studying last month while visiting Rome inside the DaVinci Museo in the Vatican).

Lokapurushas represent man as a microcosm of the universe. Here, the giant figure is trisected, with adholoka (lower world) below his waist, madhyaloka (middle world) in the form of a jambudvipa at the waist, and urdhvaloka (upper world) populated by deities and pilgrimage sites.
As noted by Pal, 'According to the Jain tradition the shape of the cosmos is comparable with a man standing akimbo: broadest at the bottom, narrowest in the middle, broader around the chest, and narrow once again at the top' (The Peaceful Liberators, Los Angeles, 1994, pp.82 & 231, no.103a.)

Around the world, hundreds of thousands of lost ancient sites lie buried and hidden from view. Satellite archaeologist Sarah Parcak is determined to find them before looters do. With the 2016 TED Prize, Parcak is building an online citizen-science tool called GlobalXplorer that will train an army of volunteer explorers to find and protect the world's hidden heritage. In this talk, she offers a preview of the first place they'll look: Peru -- the home of Machu Picchu, the Nazca lines and other archaeological wonders waiting to be discovered.
This talk was presented at an official TED conference,
Our human story is being lost.
