For the past few years I have been receiving both The Aztlander and the Institute of Maya Studies magazines. I have also had the pleasure of attending many live presentations by some of the foremost people in the fields of archaeology, archeoastronomy, anthropology and linguistics. These excellent programs have greatly expanded my understanding and knowledge. I would highly recommend subscribing to the IMS magazine, and signing up for The Aztlander.

In early spring of this year, Jim Reed, the editor in chief of The Aztlander magazine approached me to ask if I would like to make a presentation and submit an article. He suggested an article on the El Mirador trek, something I have a great passion about. We first talked about it before I went to El Mirador in March, so this project has been with me for some time. I actually already had an article published in the April edition of The Aztlander while I was at El Mirador.
Jim gave me the date of September 22nd 2025 for my presentation, and told me that my article would be published in the September edition of The Aztlander magazine. September 22nd is my Gregorian birthday, and what better celebration could there be than making a presentation about my passion?
It is with great pleasure that I share this link to The Aztlander Magazine with you https://publuu.com/flip-book/288247/2107713
My article begins on page 10 of the September 2025 edition, but as you will see, the whole magazine is fascinating and well worth reading.
My presentation will take place at 8pm ET on September 22nd 2025, here is the Zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84027561067
I would love for you to join me on this journey!


Mark, Congratulations for you collaboration in the Aztlander Magazine. Looking forward to read it. On that day, the equinox here in Mexico I will take my students to a nice little lake here in Puebla to make ceremony and build a Healing Wheel. I hope I can join you in the zoom call later on that same day.
This is really nice, Don Marco! Thanks for mentioning the Aztlander and the IMS… you are the bestest !
