Rasta Mayans
Everyday thousands of migrants from foreign lands cross the southern borders of the United States. They seek salvation from the terror of war, drug dealers, their governments and climate change. They come alone or with families. Few suspect how America will change their children.
The young are changed biologically by the chemicals in the food and the plastics in the water. The parents worked hard jobs and the kids gain weight, but they also grown in height and other day I spotted a Guatemalan teen who was at least 5-10 and he had a dreadlocks. The first tall Rasta Mayan I ever saw, but a few ancient codices survived the the Spanish Conquest to reveal the Dreadlocks of the nobility.
The dreadlocked kings ruled Copan, Tikal, and the hundreds of pre-Columbian cities throughout the Yucatan as well as the Aztec and Incan Empires. Mummies of the nobility have long threads of hair. They were Rastas before Bob Marley. Spanish conquistador Bernal Diaz del Castillo record the following in his history, "Here were priests with long robes of black cloth... The hair of these priests was very long and so matted that it could not be separated or disentangled, and most of them had ttheir ears scarified, and their hair was clotted with blood."
Jah ruled the world.
