The Aztlander Magazine did me the honour of requesting an article from me, which was published at the beginning of September. However, this was only part of the honour.
I will be reaching an important milestone in many ways on 22nd September 2025. Not only will it be my 54th birthday, but I will also be making a public presentation, over Zoom, about the El Mirador trek.
In the presentation I will talk about the elements of astronomy and archaeoastronomy which guided my timing for the journey. Then I’ll take you along with me, through photos and video footage from the trek. We’ll be visiting preclassic Maya sites and watching sunsets, and sunrises, from the tops of pyramids deep in the jungle.
I will be giving the presentation at 8pm EST on 22nd September. The event is free and public, here is the Zoom link to join https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84027561067

Hi Mark, I would love to see it but it will be 2am here and as I have to work I can’t watch it. Would it be recorded too so we can watch it at a later stage? Anyway congrats on both occassions and may happy returns. Kind regards Margot
This is wonderful!🤗
Hi Mark, happy birthday & happy equinox! May things and events keep falling into place for you like they do today!!
Thank you for sharing your astro findings and jungle experiences tonight; it’ll be rather late to join from Germany, but I’ll try to stay up and look forward to your presentation very much! Have a lovely day!
Happy birthday Mark!🌎💫🌺 Wishing you an extra good day today as well as a wonderful, wonder-filled, new cycle. Sending bright blessings of love, peace and joy in to your new year. And of course, more inspiring adventures! Thank you for everything you share with us all🙏🏽💛 Emily
Thank you Emily, most kind!
Hi Margot, yes it will be recorded and should be on YouTube in a few day’s time. When it goes up I will publish the link
Thank you Henrike, if 2am gets too late it will be recorded and available on the Aztlander YouTube channel in a few day’s time
