Wait....Shot Who In The What Now?
For the most part I like my Cultural Anthropology class. But every so often one of our weekly supplemental readings looks like this:"Orellana compares the proposed combined Ajtz'iquinajay/tz'utujil polity to the K'iche'-speaking Tamub. The Tamub was but one of several groups which, according to Carmack, segmented to form the K'iche' kingdom. Either Orellana is in error, or the Tz'utujil kingdom was not at all the equivalent to its purported K'iche" counterpart. Even more problematic is a letter written by the friar Pedro de Betanzos to the king of Spain in 1599 which states that in pre-Colunbian past there had been two independent Tz'utujil polities, almost certianly the Ajtz'iquinajay and the Tz'utujil. That letter compared the two Tz'utujil groups to four K'iche'-speaking counterparts (the Kavec, Ninhaib, Ahauquiche and Kalezaquic) and included statement of the sovereignty of those four.Incidentally, 'El Titulo de Totonicapan' identifies three of the four of those K'iche' entities as amaks."
Maybe it's just me being stupid, but WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY ON ABOUT?!?!? Its 17 pages of this! What are amaks? Who are Orellana and Cormack what kind of corrolations were they looking for? What is their government/world system (that is what our book chapter is about so i assume that it would have some sort of connection) ? A little background info would be nice. Or, if you could dumb it down a bit that would be fantastic.
So if any of you get really, really bored, and watching the wall no longer seems appealing for some reason, you know who to ask. I'll send you the whole file, free of charge.
