Maturile grotești sunt în general pline de umor. Ottó Bláthy Ottó Bláthy The Chess Amateur, 1922 Albul mută și câștigă Un exemplu extrem de specific al…

On the People of the Third City, and the power of transformative fandom

Warning: self-indulgent rambling, reflection, and hope for writing spurred by the desire for writing that is not present.

I'd been an amateur scholar when it came to Mesoamerican history: just enough to know how much I didn't know. I knew the Third City was Mesoamerican, though I knew not where. I believed, as many, that it referring to a city called Hopelchen (nevermind that Hopelchen was named several centuries after the Third City was supposed to have fallen, and that it was only proposed as a candidate because of the "five wells" sidebar snippet). I personally have interpreted it as Chichen Itza in the past, but I have also heard compelling arguments for Tikal and even perhaps a pre-Nahautl Teotihuacan (and to this day, I still find it amusing, in a frustrating way, how much we know the identities of the Second and Fourth Cities and yet the Third, the one New World city, is still the subject of debate). I knew it was associated with the God-Eaters, and the story of Seeking Mr Eaten's Name.

But as a fan, this was the text that grabbed me first and foremost about the Third City:

Rebels who will not rise The revolutionaries of the Third City sleep here, fifty-five of them. They would have made their republics in the tomb-colonies. It was not permitted. Their enemies must have hated them, to lay them here to rest where they would never be remembered - The Catafalquerie, Cave of the Nadir

From this text, interest: what were the revolutionaries of previous Fallen Cities like?

And then, 2016: Election 1894, the first of it's kind. If you chose to back the Jovial Contrarian - and as a revolutionary character, of course Hotshot did - you could choose a Reactionary Tomb-Colonist as your free item for the election. And if you did...

Something old His bandages run black with ink. Words are scrawled over his wrappings, like the husks of spiders. Not all of it is English. Giddily, he points out choice fragments – "Here, the schematics for a Fourth City catapult we never got to use. This one's the lessons we learned from the Galleries. And here – everything the Contrarian has ever published. I have made a study. This time, for sure." Between the bandages, his dessicated eyes smoulder like spent coals. "Things shall be as they were once and should be again."

Words not all in English? Mentions of the Fourth City weapon "we never got to use"? Evidence on how old this colonist was?

In retrospect, the text was more likely just referring to an old tomb-colonist of the Fifth City. But at the time, to me, it felt like it could point to something else: a rebel who escaped the fate of his colleagues, a revolutionary who continued to fight the Masters and the God-Eaters even long after his city was submerged into lacre.

And from this, Itza Matul was born.

I share the sentiment that the Third City, in canon writing, is almost entirely tied to the God Eaters and Seeking like an albatross around it's neck. What little we get of the one New World city in the Neath, a city from a place whose peoples were horrifically genocided and colonized and thus from which we have enormous holes and gaps in the histories, and it always seems to be related to this one story of betrayal, sacrifice, hunger, and monstrous priest-kings.

I am still not impressed with the idea that the one example of a tomb-republic we have in lore, the same kind of republic as mentioned in the text above, is Tanah-Chook. A Third City tomb-republic, named after a fictional English character whose creator backed at a high enough kickstarter tier.

I have tried my hand at alternatives, using what Yucatec dictionaries and sources I could find that seemed at all reliable for tomb-colony names, people's names, an equivalent to "free citizen". I have tried light speculation on what it might have been like for the people of the Third City, what kind of Neath they might have lived in, how the survivors have adapted as their City was drowned and their peoples displaced and the eventual realization that on the Surface, the place they once called home was overrun centuries later by the colonial empires of Europe. It is not sufficient, but it was what I could contribute.

And all of this is to say...you can do that too. It may not be canon. But it can be something beyond canon. To write in a version of the Neath where the Third City is more than the God-Eaters and the Betrayal, where people lived and struggled as more than just fearful subjects to a monstrous priesthood. And if in the effort to do it justice, you are driven to read more, learn more about the people whose descendants still live in the world, realize how much has been lost and yet how much has not been lost...

I have never regretted realizing I wanted to know more.

PAC Minta Ketua PC Muslimat NU Lampung Utara Mundur

Diduga telah melanggar anggaran dasar dan anggaran rumah tangga (AD/ART), Ketua PC Muslimat Nahdlatul Ulama Kabupaten Lampung Utara diminta mengundurkan diri.  Permintaan untuk mengundurkan diri itu ditujukan kepada Hj Mispa selaku Ketua PC Muslimat NU Lampung Utara dan disampaikan oleh puluhan perwakilan Pengurus Anak Cabang (PAC) Muslimat Nahdlatul Ulama Kabupaten Lampung Utara, Minggu 21 Januari 2024.  Dasar permintaan untuk mengundurkan diri tersebut diantaranya, Hj Mispa diduga telah berpihak kepada salah satu calon anggota legislatif, melarang muslimat NU untuk ikut pengajian diluar dari pengajian muslimat dan tidak tunduk terhadap NU tapi berdiri sendiri di organisasi muslimat.  Oleh karena itu, Hj Mispa diduga telah melanggar AD/ART pada pasal 8 poin 3 ya itu, melakukan perbuatan yang bertentangan dengan akidah akhlak, pedoman dan azas serta merusak nama baik organisasi.  Atas dasar tersebut puluhan perwakilan PAC Muslimat NU Lampung Utara memintanya untuk mengundurkan diri dan perwakilan pengurus PAC tersebut segera akan menyampaikan mosi tidak percaya terhadap kepemimpinan Hj Mispa ke PCNU Kabupaten Lampung Utara hingga ke Pimpinan pusat.  Ketika diwawancarai, para pengurus PAC dari masing-maisng kecamatan satu persatu menyampaikan keluhan atas sikap dan ketentuan yang ditetapkan Ketua PC Muslimat NU Lampung Utara yang diduga telah melanggar ketentuan dalam AD/ART Muslimat NU tersebut.  Seperti disampaikan, Sumarti PAC Abung Semuli yang menyatakan, pada agenda Harlah Muslimat Nahdlatul Ulama ke-78 yang berlangsung di Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno, Senayan, Jakarta dan dihadiri Presiden Joko Widodo (Jokowi) tersebut, PC Muslimat NU Lampung Utara meminta dari maisng-masing PAC 100-150 orang peserta.  Dikarenakan penuh semangat ibu-ibu muslimat NU tersebut siap mengikutinya. Namun, dalam adenda ini diduga ada rencana lain yang dimotori oleh Ketua PC Muslimat NU Lampung Utara ya itu Hj Mispa untuk mendukung salah satu caleg.  Selain itu ada ketentuan-ketentuan lain yang ditetapkannya sehingga diduga telah keluar dari akidah dan akhlak Muslimat NU.  "Kita tidak boleh datang ke majelis taklim lain selain selain muslimat. Sementara muslimat inikan majelis taklim," ujarnya.  Senada juga disampaikan, Rosmelati PAC dari Kecamatan Muara Sungkai yang menuturkan, pada masa kepemimpinan Hj Mispa tidak sejalan dengan NU. Karena muslimat dilarang mengikuti pengajian lain selain dari pengajian muslimat.  Ditambahkan Lisa Matul Hikmah, pada adenda Harlah ke 78 Muslimat NU di GBK, semula mereka diminta mendata jumlah jemaah yang akan berangkat. Namun di dalam pendataan itu juga mereka diminta data jemaah yang akan mendukung salah satu caleg.  Tidak hanya itu, bahkan semula pemberangkatan dalam agenda hatlah ke 78 Muslimat NU itu juga mereka diminta sumbangan. Sedangkan permintaan awal jemaaah-jemaah yang akan berangkat ditanggung biayanya secara gratis.  Disampaikan Ketua PAC Sungkai Selatan yang diberhentikan oleh Ketua PC Muslimat NU Lampung Utara karena tidak mengikuti instruksinya.  Dirinya diberhentikan setelah ada kegiatan dan dia berhalangan hadir namun tetap memberangkatkan perwakilan dan dinyatakan tidak mengirim perwakilan.  Menanggapi itu, Wakil Ketua PC NU Lampung Utara KH Sugianto Ansori mengatakan, selama ini perjalanan roda organisasi muslimat tidak pernah berkoordinasi dengan NU. Sementara keberadaan muslimat itu sendiri lahir dari NU.  Dia juga sudah mendengar secara langsung atas keluhan-keluhan dari pengurus muslimat NU, dan dia menilai kepengurusan PC Muslimat NU Lampung Utara sudah keluar dari tujuan didirikan organisasi yang bernaung dibawah ormas islam NU tersebut. Bahkan, menurutnya, menjelang Pemilu 2024, para kader Muslimat NU diminta mengumpulkan KTP dan dokumen lainnya, untuk pemenangkan celag-caleg tertentu. Sementara sebagai ormas keislaman, Muslimat NU harus berkonsentrasi mempersatukan umat. Harus merangkul bukan memukul. “Harusnya Muslimat NU merangkul semua pihak dalam rangka menguatkan NU ditingkatan ibu-ibu pengajian. Ini malahan berbeda. Bahkan, pernah menerbitkan SP (Surat Peringatan) kepada PAC, yang berpotensi memicu konflik secara internal,” ujarnya. Sementara, Ketua PC Muslimat NU Lampung Utara saat dihubungi melalui ponselnya di nomor 08521458XXXX sekira pukul 17.15 WIB dalam kondisi non aktif, dan pesan yang dikirim melalui WhatsApp juga tidak dibalas.

Felicidades Patachaj San Cristobal Totonicapan en el día de tu 142 años de fundación, que el gran Kukulkan Tepew Q’ukumatz tu nawal te bendiga, te guarde y te prospere siempre.

La aldea Patachaj según nuestro calendario maya fue fundado en el día 11 KAN 8 SAQ’ del año 11 N’OJ 4,988 (19/10/1880) por el rey Maya K’iche Francisco Matul y José Maria Menchú.

Su nombre original maya es Pataq’ Chaj, el cual quiere decir “Entre muchos Pinos” nombre que fue trasliterado al español como Patachaj en el momento de su registro.

Patachaj conforme nuestra investigación es la tierra del gran Kukulkan, por su fecha de nacimiento en el sagrado calendario maya primeramente, y por otras evidencias que tenemos sobre este lindo pueblo.

Una de estas evidencias es que, en el centro de Patachaj hay una pirámide maya en relieve donde se pueden observar los Equinoccios y Solsticios de cada año del calendario maya Chol Ab’.

Además, en esta aldea se encuentra un gran altar maya que es el sagrado altar de Acapetagua mundo, Indagando en el significado del nombre Acapetagua, hemos encontrado que Acapetagua significa: El Petate de Quetzalcóatl, la silla de Quetzalcóatl o el lugar donde descansa Quetzalcóatl o sea Kukulkan Tepew y Q’ukumatz en idioma maya K’iche.

Cuando la religión católica se impuso en este lugar, tomó el nombre de Acapetagua como el nombre del patrono de este pueblo, agregándole el Cristo, y ordenaron celebrar su día el cuarto viernes de cuaresma de cada año, o sea en cada Equinoccio de Primavera en el calendario maya Ab’ de 365 días como siempre lo celebraban los antiguos ancestros mayas de Patachaj.

Estos datos y más son los que hacen de Patachaj tan interesante e importante para nosotros, por eso deseamos con todo nuestro corazón todo lo mejor de lo mejor de las grandes bendiciones del gran Quetzalcóatl Tepew y Q’ukumatz y Kukulkan en sus 143 años de fundación.

Feliz cumpleaños mi bello Patachaj rinconcito de amor, y perla occidental del gran Kukulkan.
