- W2790809462 abstract "This chapter explores the possibility that east-west symbolism is an enduring aspect of Maya culture that was initially developed in farmers' community centers and homes and later appropriated by society's nobility and encoded in hieroglyphic texts and images and enshrined in the monuments of major civic-centers. This chapter explores these ideas through the analysis of the central religious complex at the ancient Maya farming community of Chan in Belize. Chan’s central religious complex follows a construction sequence reminiscent of other E Groups, particularly the Cenote-style E Group, across the Maya area. It begins initially as a linear bedrock outcrop upon which architecture construction begins in the Late Preclassic (350 BCE-CE 0). The distance between the east and west structures of Chan’s central religious complex was always maintained throughout its architectural reconstruction history. If one of the functions of the west structure was viewing sunrise over the tripartite east structure, then maintaining a relative distance between the two structures could have been integral in maintaining lines of sight. Chan’s central religious complex was also a location for the burial of venerated ancestors, and those individuals from the community selected for veneration included men, women, and children." @default.
