For Earth Day this year, we embarked on an exciting adventure to explore the ancient Mayan ruins of Caracol. It's been quite a journey getting here, both literally and figuratively. Our first attempt in 2018 was foiled by a sudden rainstorm that washed out the roads right before our eyes. But this year, luck was on our side as the weather cooperated and we braved the 25+ mile rocky, winding road south from the town of Santa Elena. Located within the Cayo District of Belize, Caracol is an awe-inspiring testament to the rich history and advanced civilization of the Maya people. Covering a massive area of approximately 200 square kilometers, it's even larger than present-day Belize City. The name Caracol comes from the Spanish word for snail or shell, possibly inspired by the winding access road that leads to this remarkable site. One of the highlights of Caracol is the majestic Caana, which means Sky Palace in Maya. This towering pyramid rises over 140 feet (43 meters) above the surrounding jungle canopy, making it one of the tallest man-made structures in Belize. Climbing Caana offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the nearby Maya Mountains and the distant peaks of Guatemala.

Prehistory

Introduction: Prehistory is a period that spans the long timeframe from the appearance of humans on Earth, approximately 4.5 million years ago, to the revolutionary invention of writing around 5000 years ago. This moment marks the transition from prehistory to documented history.

Content: The first artifacts created by humanity date back to just under 2 million years ago, marking the beginning of the Stone Age, one of the main phases of Prehistory. This extended era can be divided into several distinct phases:

Paleolithic (1,800,000 – 10,000 B.C.): During this period, our hunter-gatherer ancestors developed essential survival skills, such as crafting tools from stone, wood, and bone. Their rock art and nomadic lifestyle characterize this phase.

Mesolithic (8,000 – 6,000 B.C.): This phase marked a step towards sedentism and the transition to more advanced agricultural and harvesting societies. Humans began refining their skills in stone processing and hunting, while fishing became an important food source.

Neolithic (6,000 – 4,000 B.C.): During this phase, agriculture and animal domestication became fundamental practices, leading to stable communities and settlement in villages. The production of pottery and the use of metal tools began to emerge, contributing to increasing social complexity.

Metal Ages (4,000 – 500 B.C.): This phase marks the transition from prehistory to recorded history, as human communities began using metals such as copper, bronze, and finally iron for the manufacturing of weapons, tools, and ornaments. This period is characterized by significant technological developments and the growth of early civilizations.

Conclusion: Prehistory is a fascinating chapter in human history, where the evolution of human skills, adaptation to the environment, and the formation of early cultures offer us a window into our ancient past before the era of writing.

Machu Picchu Beyond the Stones, Into the Mysteries

https://TravelingFevah.com - Machu Picchu, nestled high in the Andes Mountains of Peru, is not just an archaeological site but a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the ancient Incan civilization. Dating back to the 15th century, this remarkable citadel is shrouded in mystery and intrigue, captivating the hearts and minds of travelers from around the globe. 

Historical Significance: Machu Picchu was constructed during the height of the Inca Empire, under the reign of Emperor Pachacuti. Its purpose remains a subject of debate among historians, with theories ranging from a royal estate to a religious sanctuary or a strategic military outpost. Regardless of its original function, Machu Picchu served as a symbol of Incan power and achievement. 

 Architectural Marvel: What sets Machu Picchu apart is its sophisticated stone architecture, characterized by meticulously cut and fitted stones without the use of mortar. The precision of the construction, particularly evident in structures like the Temple of the Sun and the Intihuatana stone, demonstrates the Incas' mastery of engineering and craftsmanship. Breathtaking Panoramic Views: Perched atop a ridge overlooking the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and lush greenery. 

The site's strategic location amidst the Andean peaks adds to its mystique, with clouds often swirling around the peaks, enhancing the ethereal ambiance. Cultural and Spiritual Significance: Machu Picchu holds immense cultural and spiritual significance for the indigenous Quechua people of Peru. It is believed to be a sacred site with astronomical alignments and ritualistic purposes, serving as a link between the earthly realm and the celestial heavens. The Intihuatana stone, often referred to as the "Hitching Post of the Sun," is thought to have been used for astronomical observations and ceremonies. Modern-Day Wonder: 

Today, Machu Picchu is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. It attracts visitors from all corners of the globe, drawn not only by its historical and architectural marvels but also by the sense of awe and wonder that pervades its ancient ruins. In summary, Machu Picchu is more than just a collection of ancient ruins; it is a window into the rich cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs of the Inca civilization.

The Bull of Phalaris‼️

Also know as, "the brass bull of Perilaus" or "the bull of Phalaris".

The sculptor Perilaos between 570-560 BC.

he made to the order of the tyrant Phalaris, a brass bull that could fit an entire man inside. When they lit a fire under the bull, the one inside was roasted alive and his voices were heard, through a special mechanism, like the bellowing of the bull.

When he first presented his invention to the tyrant of Acragantas of Sicily, he ordered Perilaus to be put inside the bull and made his first victim.

It was a fitting end for the inventor of such a diabolical machine.
