The SIAG event this week is amazing; experienced archaeologists, iconographers and epigraphers from Guatemala, Mexico, USA and around the world are showing and sharing the results from their research in Mesoamerica related to WATER. Water symbolism (iconography), water ecology, and how the ancient Maya handled water in their sites.
If you are in Guatemala City you can go to the Museo Popol Vuh, UFM, and watch all the presentations on a large screen (no cost to attend but parking fee for your vehicle outside is common in most areas of the city).
If you are at home anywhere in the world you can watch each presentation at no cost on Facebook Live. https://www.facebook.com/100063663332659/videos/1740470096371267/ 35th Simposio de Investigaciones Arqueológicas en Guatemala, Julio 17-21, 2023, Simposio Virtual.
Dr Nicholas Hellmuth will give his presentation on Thursday (it was originally scheduled for Friday but the organizers updated the schedule when several speakers were not available). So the WETLANDS of the Classic Maya conference will be Thursday, July 20, 2023, starting at 11:15am. You can attend via Facebook or you can go to the Museo Popol Vuh and watch it on a big-screen. But each speaker presents from their research office desk.

We will let YOU explore the never-before-studied savannas of the far southeast part of Parque Nacional Laguna del Tigre (PNLT). The FLAAR (USA) and FLAAR Mesoamerica (Guatemala) teams hike long distances through the rain forests, then launch their aerial camera system plus also achieve panorama photos from the ground. Plus every flower is photographed with macro digital cameras. Aerial photo with FLAAR Mavic 2 Pro by Emanuel Chocooj, June 3, 2022. |
Water in Maya wetlands ecosystems, water in Maya iconography, water management by the Maya for thousands of years. SIAG is a super-helpful conference with experienced organizers.
