well, i certainly don't want to hijack this particular thread du jour, ridiculous as it may be but, the Mayan Cymbal seems to ME to reflect:

1) BULLSHIT. According to some early-colonial sources, Hunab Ku, meaning 'Sole God', was the main deity in the Yucatec Mayan pantheon. No images existed of Hunab Ku since he was considered to be without visible form. The concept may have been invented to satisfy the Spanish monks. Hunab Ku is, in any case, closely related to the indigenous creator god, Itzamna.

Popularized by Jose Arguelles in his **esoteric** *******1987****** book The Mayan Factor, the "Hunab Ku" symbol was originally a rectangular symbol used by the Aztecs as a ritual cloak design, known as the Mantle of Lip Plugs (or, arguably, mantle of spider water). The symbol survives today as a rug design being sold in central Mexico, but was associated with the Milky Way and the god Hunab Ku by Arguelles, who changed the symbol to a circular motif. It has become associated with Mayanism.

1987, lets see,,,,,i was rockin out in college on my '74 Brown Strat into my JCM 800 half stack. Doesn't feel very Ancient Mayan to me.

you have been POWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!
