The history of Guatemala has been & long one, extending back to the days when the famous Maya tribes roamed its mountains and valleys. “Guatemala shares with Mexico that region in which the Mayas settled and developed their culture in the early cen- turies of the Christian cra,” she said The Mayans were especially noted for their skill in astronomy and mathe- | matics,” she continued, “and, indeed, | and docum which can be decipher, clopad they | i in- | e they 1o ar ich ha t o Senor nos went on to dis- cuss the Mayas—how they appeared in Central America, from just where no- body seems to have found out exactly, although there are many theories ad- vanced on this score, one of them being that the race first came to this conti- nent via the Bering Strait and Alaska. At any rate, they are supposed to have made their first historical appearance in Guatemala. Recalls Lindbergh Trip.

For example, as far back as the be ginning of Christianity they are known to have had a calendar, so developed a little later as to make it as accurate as that brought to them by the Span- iards at the time of the conquest. In the matter of art they were espe- cizlly skilled, Architecture and sculp- | ture of unusually fine d*sign have como | down to the present time as examples of their talent. In som> of the tem- ples there have been found frescoes which are reminiscent of early Greek vase designs, although much more elab- orate. Their work in painting has had a marked effect on that of Mexico. Thus, there is being uncovered in Guatemala evidence of what Dr. Syl- vanus Griswold Morley terms “the most brilliant expression of the ancient erican mind.” Spanish Era Interesting.
