Tomb of the Jade Jaguar, available as a lecture to schools, colleges, universities and groups.

If your group, association, class, society or company wishes to host a popular slide lecture on the Tomb of the Jade Jaguar, Dr Nicholas Hellmuth is available.

Professor Hellmuth has given this lecture on Mayan archaeology in Switzerland, Mexico, Guatemala, and across Canada and the US. Naturally he has also frequently lectured on this subject in Guatemala, including at Tikal in February 2008 for a cruise ship group organized by Scientific American magazine.

This lecture presents an introduction to how to discover the tomb of a king, how to properly excavate and record the royal burial, and especially how to photograph the remains.

Nicholas was a studying architectural sciences at Harvard when he went to Tikal, Guatemala to work for the University of Pennsylvania Tikal Project. So you can expect lots of information on how the Maya built their pyramids and temples.

Lectures are also available on other aspects of Mayan archaeology

Lectures are also available on the pre-Columbian Classic Maya ballgames, on pyramid and palace architecture, on Maya ethnozoology and on Mayan ethnobotany.

Nicholas also lectures on digital photography and inkjet printing.

Recently Dr. Hellmuth spoke in Korea (several different times), in Istanbul, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Slovenia, Croatia, Mexico, etc., on advanced digital photography and wide-format inkjet printing (on glass, wood, ceramic tile, and stone). This lecture is especially pertinent to museums: how to make more interesting displays.

He can speak auf Deutsch, en español, but when lecturing in Greece and other countries it is simultaneously translated.
