Welcome to the Thinker's corner!

The Maya civilization has been the subject of countless studies for over a century. Yet, many mysteries remain unsolved. Research is fondamental if we hope to someday unravel some of those mysteries. However, research can only go forward with new ideas to explore.

This publication is a space of reflexion where thinkers of all categories can share their ideas. If you have a theory on a controversial or misunderstood subject concerning Maya architecture, send it to us and we will publish it on this page. This is an opportunity to share your views or the results of a research paper.

To submit a theory, you must write a text of maximum 300 words. The text must include a statement describing your idea followed by arguments to support it. It must come with a title reflecting the subject and your full name to identify it. Don't forget to include the bibliographic references if you quote specific studies. See an example

Send your text to the following e-mail address: public@mayafiles.com. Expect a delay of 2 weeks for edition and publication. Texts will be published in their original language.

"Denying facts, because they are believed to be incomprehensible, is certainly more sterile, from the perspective of intellectual progress, than developing hypotheses; even if they are unacceptable, they stimulate, precisely because they are insufficient, the criticism and research necessary to surpass them."
--Claude Lévi-Strauss, 1958
