~ The royal belt of Calakmulhul.

▪︎ Towards mid-November 1988, researchers from the Calakmul Project discovered in Building III a crypt that housed the remains of an ancient sovereign accompanied by a modest funerary trousseau. Among the objects deposited in the tomb were three green stone masks. One must have been placed on his face, the other two smaller ones were interpreted as medallions or pectorals.

The belt was part of the dignitaries' attire, as can be seen in some steles. It was made up of a small mask from which three green stone axes hung. The masks represented deities or embodied ancestors. The axes, when hitting each other, generate a tinkling sound that is heard like the murmur of the wind. By wearing the belt, the rulers were transfigured into the axis mundi , in the center of the Universe.

"OAXACA esta viviendo en un proceso acelerado de GENTRIFICACION lo cual significa DESPOJO TERRITORIAL y CULTURAL EN SU NIVEL MAS SALVAJE. Se estan viendo la presencia de extranjeros de paises primermundistas llegando a colonias populares, mas tarde no será raro ver que que aumenten las rentas, el racismo, el lucro de las manifestaciones artísticas-culturales populares. El apuro de encontrar una imagen oficial para promocionar la GUELAGUETZA OFICAL como si se tratara de una mercancía responde a las necesidades de un mercado que solo lo puede gozar extranjeros con alto nivel adquisitivo del primer mundo. La industria del turismo junto con la Secretaria de Cultura de Oaxaca ha hecho de nuestra cultura de los pueblos de Oaxaca una mera marca, una experiencia, una oportunidad de negocios que se cimientan a partir del despojo, saqueo, destrucción y desprecio.

Llevamos mas de 500 años resistiendo! la lucha continua hasta alcanzar la dignidad, la justicia social y la paz de los pueblos."
