Les Mayas, entre pyramides et sacrifices...

BENJAMIN BRILLAUD
About this episode

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !

Qui sont les Mayas ? C’est une excellente question, car on a souvent tendance à les confondre avec d’autres civilisations précolombiennes. Alors pour en savoir plus sur eux, j’ai reçu en entretien Johann Begel, un archéologue spécialiste des rites mayas. Et cet entretien, eh bien vous pourrez l’entendre dans quelques jours sur le podcast. Mais en attendant, qu’est-ce qui vous vient en tête quand on parle de ce peuple ? Car ce n’est pas rare que certaines idées nous viennent immédiatement quand on pense à eux, comme les fameuses pyramides, ou encore les sacrifices humains. Et justement, je vous propose d’écouter Johann remettre les pendules à l’heure concernant ces deux aspects de cette civilisation, alors bonne écoute !
