CosmicYoelContact Between Ancient Mesoamerican and Ancient Middle Eastern Cultures?Episode Title: Was There Contact Between Ancient Mesoamerican and Ancient Middle Eastern Cultures?
Episode Description:
Could ancient Mesoamerican and Middle Eastern civilizations have shared more than just similar myths and symbols? In this episode, we investigate the tantalizing question of whether these two seemingly distant cultures might have had direct or indirect contact in antiquity.
We examine striking parallels in art, architecture, and mythology, as well as controversial theories involving ancient seafaring and transoceanic voyages. What do modern archaeology, linguistics, and DNA evidence reveal about the possibility of a forgotten connection between these ancient...2024-12-2302 min
The Ten Minute Time MachineThe Olmec Civilization: Foundations and Enduring Legacy in Mesoamerican CultureThe Olmec civilization, flourishing between 1500 BCE and 400 BCE in the modern-day Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco, is considered the "mother culture" of Mesoamerica. Known for its monumental art, complex religion, and innovative urban planning, the Olmec laid the groundwork for later civilizations like the Maya, Zapotecs, and Aztecs.Located in a tropical region with fertile land and abundant rivers, the Olmec utilized agriculture and trade to sustain their society.

BYU Studies“Dumb” Puns in Alma 30: A Mesoamerican Twist on Korihor’s Talionic PunishmentThis article by Mark Alan Wright and Neal Rappleye offers a fascinating look into Korihor being "struck dumb" in Alma 30 from an ancient Mesoamerican cultural lens. Patterns in ancient languages demonstrate instances of word-play connecting punishment to the crime, particularly in and around the Mayans. Wright and Rappleye dive into historical and linguistic clues to not only argue that Korihor's fate demonstrates an example of this, but also that this cultural similarity serves as evidence linking The Book of Mormon to Mesoamerican history.

The Weird History Podcast92 We Don’t Know Things About the Mesoamerican Ball GameThe ancient Mesoamerican ball game is very probably the oldest ball game in the world. We know that it was played with a rubber ball on a stone court, and that players would try to hit the ball with their hips, knees, and sometimes elbows and forearms around the court. Ballcourts often featured a stone hoop that was possibly the goal, but it is impossible to know if hitting the hoop was the only goal of the game. No written rules survive, though the game is mentioned multiple times in Popol Vuh, the written account of Mayan mythology.
