Numerous archaeological projects have found substantial evidence
of the military nature of Maya society, and warfare is a frequent theme
of Maya art. Maya Gods of War
investigates the Classic period Maya gods who were associated with
weapons of war and the flint and obsidian from which those weapons were
made.
Author Karen Bassie-Sweet traces the semantic
markers used to distinguish flint from other types of stone, surveys
various types of Chahk thunderbolt deities and their relationship to
flint weapons, and explores the connection between lightning and the
ruling elite. Additional chapters review these fire and solar deities
and their roles in Maya warfare and examine the nature and
manifestations of the Central Mexican thunderbolt god Tlaloc, his
incorporation into the Maya pantheon, and his identification with
meteors and obsidian weapons. Finally, Bassie-Sweet addresses the
characteristics of the deity God L, his role as an obsidian merchant
god, and his close association with the ancient land route between the
highland Guatemalan obsidian sources and the lowlands.
Through
analysis of the nature of the Teotihuacán deities and exploration of
the ways in which these gods were introduced into the Maya region and
incorporated into the Maya worldview, Maya Gods of War
offers new insights into the relationship between warfare and religious
beliefs in Mesoamerica. This significant work will be of interest to
scholars of Maya religion and iconography.
