Color within an Archaeological Site in the state of Yucatan, Mexico.
Symbols of the Maya people of Uxmal, Mexico.
What will be the symbols of our age? How will we appear to others in the distant future? What will be our legacy?
Thousands of years from now, will the symbol of our age be the dollar sign?
Will the people of the future understand our obsession with the almighty buck? Will they think we worshiped it...revered it?
When we look at the archaeological remains of of this century, what will we find?
In Mexico there are many archaeological zones in which the Maya people left the history of their people. What a fabulous legacy. To think that thousands of years ago, someone spent time creating the signs and symbols of their daily life for all of history to see. Although we don't understand exactly what happened to their civilization, we are at least left with many historical areas in which we can study their life.
How will the symbols of our time be interpreted? Will we be able to tell our story in a language the future can understand...
