The defendant will likely have to wait a year or more for the trial, despite “quick and speedy.” But the defendant will be found “guilty” or “not-guilty” through unanimous decision by a jury of 12 people.

What is the creation story of the Mayan culture
oee [108]

Answer:

Mayan's creation story

Explanation:

This is an account of the beginning, when all was stillness, silence, and water. There was

no light, no land, no plants, no people, and no animals.

Six deities, covered, in green and blue feathers, lay in the primordial waters: the Framer

and the Shaper, Tepew and Quetzal Serpent, along with Xpiyacóc and Xmucané.

These deities, helped Heart of Sky, also known as Hurakán, create the Earth.

Their spirit essence and their miraculous power gave the Earth its creative energy. Now

the land had a heart, and they called it Heart of Earth.

To separate the sky from the Earth they planted a tall ceiba tree, making space for all life.

The roots penetrated deep into the nine levels of the Maya Underworld, the trunk was on

the surface of the land, and the branches reached up to the thirteen levels of the Maya

Upper-world.

The plants were next created to live on the Earth.

And then the animals were created. But the animals did not speak and could not worship.

So the deities decided to create human beings from mud. But these first humans had no

souls and were not good “keepers of the days.”

They destroyed them in a great flood.

The deities tried another time, and created humans from wood. But the wooden people

could not worship either, so they were destroyed. Those that survived are said to have

become the monkeys in the trees.

The sky and Earth now existed, but there was no Sun and no Moon. A vain bird called

Seven Macaw claimed to be the Sun and the Moon. But this was not true.

Two amazing Twins, Hunajpu and Xbalanqué, defeated Seven Macaw, by shooting him

with darts.

The Hero Twins were conceived, when their mother, Ixkik’, spoke to the decapitated  

2

head of their father, Hun Hunahpu, who spit on her hand from a cacao tree. Hun Hunahpu

had been killed by the Lords of Xibalbá, the Underworld.

The Hero Twins became great ball players, and to bring their Father back to life, they

challenged the Lords of the Underworld to a game in Xibalbá.

The twins were permitted to play the ball game only after they had survived the

dangerous trials set for them in the Underworld.

Using great skill and cunning, the twins won the ball game, and this allowed their slain

father to come back to life as the Maize God.

The Hero Twins left Xibalbá and climbed back up to the surface of the Earth. They

continued up into the sky, becoming the Sun, and the Moon. Now that the Sun and Moon

were in the sky and illuminated the Earth, the deities created the final form of human

beings using white and yellow corn. Corn is the precious substance that ultimately

succeeds in producing true, and enduring, humans.

Did the Nazis under Hitler cause suffering and death? Write 1 paragraph.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The Nazis Under Hitler's commands did cause suffering and death because they planned on killing all of the European Jewry people and it even caused more killing and suffering during world war 1, it began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. His murder catapulted into a war across Europe that lasted until 1918. During the conflict, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire (the Central Powers) fought against Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Romania, Japan and the United States (the Allied Powers). Thanks to new military technologies and the horrors of trench warfare, World War 1 saw unprecedented levels of carnage and destruction. By the time the war was over and the Allied Powers claimed victory, more than 16 million people and soldiers and civilians were dead.
