Long live the Mexicas people! The natural property of Maya temples belongs to the land and not in the basement of wealthy archaeological foundations which use our legacy for tax deduction purposes without contributing to the survival of our people.

PALENQUE, Mexico(AP) -- Peter Mathews thought all sides had signed off his plan to move an ancient Mayan altar from the jungle to a local museum.

The Mexican government had given its approval. So had leaders of the Chol Indian village where the altar was standing.

But those agreements counted for nothing when Mathews, three other archaeologists and seven Chol assistants began removing the 600-pound (270-kilogram) altar from Mayan ruins in Desempeno, a village in southern Mexico.

Mathews said dozens of angry people approached them, saying the ruins, known as El Cayo, belonged to them. As the two sides argued, bandits armed with rifles emerged from the jungle and stole the team's boots, extra clothes, money and possessions.

"I think there probably was a faction that wanted to keep the altar in the community," said Mathews, who teaches at the University of Calgary in Canada. "But by the end, most just wanted to see how much they could get out of us."

Some team members jumped into river to escape

When gunmen finished ransacking the expedition, they told the archaeological team to leave. But when the men reached a beach on the banks of the Usumacinta River, the bandits appeared again.

They forced them to stand in a straight line and beat them with gun butts. Then they ordered them to the ground and pummeled and kicked them again, Mathews said.

Mathews suffered a broken nose. One man received broken ribs and several others were badly bruised. The bandits disappeared, but the team was too afraid to return to the village.

Six of the Chol assistants made a dash along the banks of the river to find a place in the bush to hide, Mathews said. The Australian archaeologist and four companions leaped into the river and swam to the opposite bank, which is Guatemalan territory.

They set off, shoeless and without food, through the Guatemalan jungle in hopes of reaching the archaeological site of Piedras Negras, 20 miles downstream.

For two days, they walked.

"We were getting weaker and weaker, and it became clear we weren't going to make it Piedras Negras," Mathews said. The river had risen 30 feet Saturday, making swimming or walking along the river banks too risky.

"There were spines and thorns, but we were most worried about snakes," he said. The group finally holed up along the river, waiting for a passing plane or boat.

On Sunday afternoon they were picked up by a 60-foot (18-meter) boat carrying supplies to Piedras Negras.

The six Chols who had fled by land had reported the attack and by Sunday evening, Mathews' colleagues had begun to spread word on the Internet that he was missing. Diplomats from Canada and Australia asked Mexican officials about the case.

No desire to return

By Monday afternoon, Mathews' group managed to reach Palenque, a popular archaeological site often used as a jumping-off point for expeditions into the jungle.

The 4-foot (1.2-meter) circular stone altar, which bears the image of a Mayan noble and other Mayan inscriptions dating back more than 1,000 years, apparently remains in place.

"We knew when we went into El Cayo that was it a difficult place to work in," Mathews said.

"We thought we had done our homework, talking to local authorities, but what these people told later, when they held us captive, is that they don't respect any authority," he said.

The state of Chiapas is dotted with remote, desperately poor villages and is plagued by disputes over land, and by drug trafficking and archaeological looting.

"The Chols of Desempeno have always been very friendly, and some them helped us at risk to themselves," Mathews said. But, he added, "it will be a while before I go back to Desempeno."

The Chiapas state prosecutor's office said it has opened an investigation into possible crimes, including battery and robbery.

For those who don't speak Spanish or the Mayan-Nahuatl language, the above statement is taken from the Indigenous Bible commonly named Popol Vuh and says about guessing with beans and sticks the fate of the New Man. To the reader, I ask apologies because English it's not my native language. However, I will attempt to translate my experiences from the oral teachings of my cosmic ancestors as told in the Popol Vuh. As we speak, the last Mayan generation is fighting for their survival and genetic heritage in Chiapas, Southern Mexico, and there are many indigenous organizations helping them to prevent complete elimination of their gene pool. But, their land and natural resources are being taken away. The lucky ones are able to move to other foreign domains and be segregated in more ghettos such as in Los Angeles. Sort of Mayan prophecy and predicted holocaust! This pattern has continued for hundreds of years until Quetzalcoatl returns to judge our people and rule again the Mayas as told by Chilam Balam de Chumayel.

This Web site is not about social revolution, though. Everything has a sidereal time...it is about Mayan knowledge, the purest ideas of a conscious race associated with syncronicity, mathematics, and galactic navigation. Thus, this site is unique in its own kind because it tells a different story, the lost Iuracrunu Codex with a message about Mayan mathematics. As you probably know, the Mayan had "natural" computers called 'esteras' in which they made calculations and play games such as the Patolli. My mission is to tell you how they applied this knowledge to build, trade, measure, and have fun with Mayan priests (known as programmers in our time). I would like to add the time has arrived for you to open your consciousness to universal harmony and start the New Mayan Cycle again. It's our gift to you and the new scientists of the next 26,000 years!

Meantime, please be considered to our genetic pool on this planet. Thanks for learning about the most beautiful people I know in this world. In the Year of 5 Kan.
