Miklós Vassányi , Ph.D. (Karoli Gaspar University of the Reformed Church, Hungary).

Open Guest Lectures:

April 26 (Thursday), 2018 , 11.00-12.00 a.m., Rynek Glowny 34, 3rd floor, room No. 36.

Points of Interest:
Maya Religion with especial respect to Mythology in the mirror of the three most important Early Written Sources: the Popol Vuh, the Chilam Balam, and Diego de Landa's Relación de las cosas de Yucatán: In a first instance, this talk gives a photographically illustrated introduction into the land and culture of the Mayas, and then delves into what may be known about the religion of this ancient Yucatán nation on the basis of the written sources. From among these sources, the Popol Vuh, the Chilam Balam, and Diego de Landa's Relación de las cosas de Yucatán stand out as most important. Our attention will turn to the cosmogonical myths of the Popol Vuh; the historiography and prophecies of the Chilam Balam; and to the general description of Maya religion offered by the Franciscan monk Diego de Landa.

April 26 (Thursday), 2018 , 12.30-13.30 p.m., Rynek Glowny 34, 3rd floor, room No. 36.

Points of Interest:
Inca Religion with especial respect to the "Imperial" Pantheon, the capac hocha Child Sacrifice and the Concept of the waca ("idol"): This introductory talk will especially go after the child sacrifice called capac hocha in Quechua. This kind of sacrifice was practiced as part of the imperial ritual calendar but also as a component of folk religiosity. There is abundant source material at our disposal in written form but also in archeological respect. Last but not least, Quechua historical linguistics also has a say as to the interpretation of the term capac hocha. Since capac hochas were often regarded as particular kinds of wacas ("idol or almost any supernatural phenomenon"), the latter will also be treated.
