Okay, so if you look at her chest, that is so similar to the Greeks putting Medusa at the center of their armor. Have you seen this before? The Linothorax? Oh, yeah, yeah. And, you know, that's probably just them just... It's the Greeks symbolizing that they have the power of her with them as they're going into battle. Is that a common thing that you have seen throughout the Maya world?
And do you have any ideas what the... In terms of warfare, yeah.
There's a lot of... There's neat stuff where... There... just showed you the the boots chan right where it's the smoke serpent and things are coming out of the supernatural world into it well there's helmets that you see especially at chichen itza where their helmet is actually the mouth of a snake the upper part is the upper part of the snake and the chin strap is the lower jaw of the snake
So conceptually, what a warrior that's wearing a helmet like that is saying is, I'm coming straight out of the supernatural. I'm burping out of the vision serpent into this battlefield.
Is this that Amon guy?
So like another group of powerful women like the Amazons.
Yeah. Yeah. But this isn't the same as the as the Amazons. The powerful Greek warrior women.
I'm going to whoop your ass and I'm going to give you some Viagra so you just keep going. Oh no, don't do it.
to do that. And this was a really popular way to trip back then. Now, did this make the children immune to the snake bites?
I don't know. Probably. It sounds very much like the development of vaccines where they're like scraping off of cows. Yeah.
Yeah. Do you have any idea what era that was?
Mm hmm.
I think because children have the strongest immune systems.
I guess so. Very interesting. You know, that kind of reminds me of, you always hear legends, and it probably is true, although Western medicine, as far as I know, hasn't really gone to investigate it. There are people in the Amazon that will, you know, can get bitten by, by a rabid animal or can get bitten by a fertile ants or something.
And there'll be offered Western medicine and they'll go, Oh no, no, thank you. I don't need that. I have, you know, we have a doctor in our village and, you know, they just go off into the jungle, but then they appear a few months later and they're okay. Right.
You know, I know multiple people in, uh,
Sadly, the world has changed. When I started going down there, that was always the case. Somebody would always trust the local corandero more than the pharmacist. But everybody flocks to the pharmacy now. The native people, at least of Mexico and Guatemala, are obsessed with modern medicine. They are like pill poppers now. I mean, I don't want to stereotype the entire group of people.
Yeah, it's not good for them either.
So we were walking around New York. We were looking at the architecture. And I was talking about how far I feel like we'd – I was talking to Julian. And we were looking at the Empire State Building. And I was like, that's still the greatest building on the entire New York City skyline. It's the most beautiful. And I feel like American – our architecture is kind of devolving as time goes on.
It's not as evocative and beautiful and inspiring as it used to be. And I was telling him, you know, one of the things that's so common when people talk about New York architecture is that everybody's favorite is the architecture that evokes Greco-Roman architecture. Right. And I was telling him, I was like, I was like, you know, it's probably not an accident that that is our favorite.
