The Maya Compass
Accompanying the maps throughout Palestine 1492 is a compass inspired by Maya ceremonial altars.
Maya compass It is best appreciated on the book cover for its colors where red is east, black is west, yellow is south, white is north.
Also present is the all-important green-blue at the center to represent the earth-sky, and the implication that between earth-sky there is you.
Seven cardinal directions rather than four reminds us we are not above the land, never owners of the land, never separate from the land. -
On the orient
The front cover of Palestine 1492 is a map of the Maya world oriented east, an homage to Chiapas, where in summer 2006 I lived my first heart break over Palestine.
Front cover of Palestine 1492 Like many Indigenous geographies, Maya geography orients east at the top. East, where the sun rise, is the direction we face when we begin prayer.
