The Maya Know Evil When They See It
Monday, March 12th, 2007
President Bush is visiting the Maya archaeological site of the ancient city of Iximche in Guatamala and the Maya want nothing to do with him. They have even gone on record as saying that they will send in the shamans with their spiritual scrub brushes to cleanse the site immediately after he leaves.
Mayan Indian leaders have vowed to “spiritually cleanse” an ancient site in Guatemala after U.S. President George W. Bush visits during his seven-day, five-nation tour of Latin America.
Mayan priests say they will purify the sacred archaeological site to rid it of any “bad spirits” after Bush is there.
“That a person like (Bush) with the persecution of our migrant brothers in the United States, with the wars he has provoked is going to walk in our sacred lands is an offense for the Mayan people and their culture,” Juan Tiney, director of a Mayan non-governmental organization with close ties to Mayan religious and political leaders, told The Associated Press.
