Fiery Pool: The Maya and the Mythic Sea Video - Video de La Piscina llameante: El maya y el Mar Mítico

Aquí les compartimos un video sobre algunas de los objetos presentados en esta gran exposición en el Museo Peabody en Essex (Audio en Inglés).

Here we share this video with some of the objects presented in this great exposition at the Peabody Essex Museum.





Audio: Recorded during a preview tour of the exhibit. Voices: Daniel Finamore, The Russell W. Knight Curator of Maritime Art and History at the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) and Stephen D. Houston, The Dupee Family Professor of Social Science and Professor of Archaeology at Brown University. The tour lasted more than a hour, but the video only contains them describing the objects for which we were provided images. I apologize for the poor audio, but I had trouble recording them and at the same time examine the more than 90 artifacts they collected for the exhibit.
