Unmasking the Maya

The Smithsonian Institution virtual exhibit on the Maya, featuring a theater troupe based in San Cristobal, has gone online in 4 languages as of today.

The site is the result of nearly two years of work by:

Sna Jtz'ibajom, the theater group;
Dr. Robert M. Laughlin, Curator of Mesoamerican Ethnology, Department of Anthropology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution;
Chip Morris, Carol Karasik, and myself.

Dennis Hasch is the lightning-fast webmaster who got it up and running today from the CD he just received from me this morning.

It's been available in progress on my site, but the Smithsonian has posted it in English, Spanish, Tzotzil, and Tzeltal on their site. Minor navigation tweaks to come, but here are the links:
