May 24, 2012 - Okay people, weren't these sacrifices done by the aztecs and not the mayans? Mayans believed in sacrificing blood..I'm pretty sure this is what the aztecs did. Also, this isn't how the maya dressed....help please? I'm kinda confused. O_O

May 21, 2012 - Yes, I had to express my opinion in some way lol :D

May 20, 2012 - In all seriousness though, you're retarded. What you believe is retarded. How you view the world is retarded. Everyone you spew your bullshit at gets dumber just listening to you. You are a vacuum of a functioning human being and you should be ashamed of yourself for presuming to be smarter than people who have the brains to do a basic wikipedia search. You need to sit down, shut up, and never open your stupid pussy mouth ever again.
InquisitorClock Says:
May 19, 2012 - The pyramids were votive mountains, not spiritually resonating crystals. They WERE liminal spaces, but they contained the tombs of kings, connecting them to the underworld, as well as being the sites of regular calendrical ritual and sacrifice. If you were Mayan in a past life you should be able to explain agricultural practices in detail.
InquisitorClock Says:
May 19, 2012 - Nothing about cardinal directionality? The underworlds? The Axis Mundi? Which god were you High Priest to? What is their role in the cosmic machine, and how the hell does Karma grease the wheels in a way blood doesn't?
InquisitorClock Says:
May 19, 2012 - So you're saying the sacrifices of captured nobility from rival cities never had anything to do with regional politics, ever?
InquisitorClock Says:
May 19, 2012 - If you don't care about the subject, but are arguing about it, then you don't care about truth. Mel Gibson is by no means a good filmmaker, but you're saying that reality has nothing to do with truth, which is insane. Your interpretation is effectively erasure of an entire culture because it simply suits your interests to talk shit about yanks. For you accuracy, reality, honest introspection, and understanding have nothing to do with truth. You are defining truth as intentional lies. Fuckwit.

May 19, 2012 - The Pyramid was always a very special place for the meetings with God and Spirits. It was a House of Souls. It was our Big, Perfect Crystal. It was my home and my place of work. This Pyramid is an important part of our Galactic structure as an energy and information exchange between the Earth and the Cosmos. High Priest of Chichen Itza, Madician, Hei HiOLE ( child which drive from the stars)

May 19, 2012 - They should fix this mistake to avoid karma punishment. CREATIVITYis the only one important product on Earth and the reason for people to be here. Those talented producer who will create a great movie about us in the next three years will receive our special blessing.
AmeliaEarhartReborn Says:
May 19, 2012 - Misunderstanding or lack of knowledge about our culture and history is not the way to create something from your own mind, and turn it into public display trying to make money on the energy emanating from fear, blood and suffering.Fear was introduced to society artificially as an instrument for the manipulations and it prevent from development of new consciousness and enlightenment.Shame on those who used our Holy pyramid for this purposes and tried to cast a shadow on my pure temple in return.
AmeliaEarhartReborn Says:
May 19, 2012 - I am a re-incarnateda High Priest of Chichen Itza. Our life is not what you saw in the movie Apocalypse! It never had happened this way in Chichen Itza. It is wrong how they portrayed us; we are noble, beautiful, kind-hearted people. Sacrifices were very rare and inmost difficult exceptional situations as a draught or epidemics. Jesus was brutally crucified without any special drugs and thus causing his unbearable physical suffering.Mayan people were surprised by those who did this.

May 19, 2012 - You sound so fucking dumb.
truemamrdi4all Says:
May 19, 2012 - I dont give a damn about maya and never intended any research in that aspect. That being said if it wasnt for some brainiacs headed by a hysterical wannabe scientist, I wouldnt know it portrayed maya. I think the gist of this movie is there was once upon a time a culture that saw chopping foreigners heads as nothing immoral. And that the same might the people to come think about usa. Or would you expect that Gibson shoots a movie about yankees chopping Indians heads off in hope for a success?

May 18, 2012 - Lol you people are idiots..... it is just a movie, nothing more. Grow up, shut up n fuck off.

ElementsSon Says:
May 17, 2012 - There are so many mistakes in this movie, -i thing Mel Gibson MUST return to kindergarten. Sure, the mayans doing what aztecs do in the sahara desert? This isn't even Yucatan or the lake Texcoco nor Tenochtitlan.This is not Tikal or Palenque, is just what the stupid jew Gibson did with his money destroying the truth.
