| Summary: | An archaeoastronomical study recently accomplished in the Maya area revealed that the architecture on the northeast coast of the Yucatán peninsula is characterized by some peculiar orientation trends, which we have not been able to explain in a satisfactory manner. In order to acquire additional information, in November 2015 we measured the orientations of 34 structures at 21 archaeological sites. The book presents the results of this work, as well as some analyses based on all the available data from the northeast coast. Their distribution shows that the percentage of orientations related to the Sun is notably lower than in other parts of the Maya Lowlands. Arheoastronomska raziskava, ki smo jo nedavno opravili na območju kulture Majev, je v razporeditvi orientacij v arhitekturi severovzhodne obale polotoka Jukatana razkrila nekatere posebnosti, ki jih ni bilo mogoče zadovoljivo pojasniti. Da bi pridobili dodatne informacije, smo novembra leta 2015 izmerili usmeritve 34 stavb na 21 arheoloških najdiščih. Knjiga predstavlja rezultate tega dela in nekatere analize, ki temeljijo na vseh razpoložljivih podatkih za severovzhodno obalo. Najbolj izstopajo orientacije proti velikim Luninim ekstremom, gotovo zaradi pomena, ki ga je imel na tem območju kult boginje Ixchel, povezane z Luno. Drugo najbolj izstopajočo skupino predstavljajo solsticijske orientacije, ki so pogosto povezane z lunarnimi, kar kaže na opazovanje ekstremov polne Lune. Tretjo večjo skupino orientacij je mogoče povezati z nekaterimi zvezdami, toda hipotezo bo treba še preveriti. Usmeritve mnogih obalnih stavb se približno skladajo s potekom morskega obrežja, ker pa obenem pripadajo astronomsko signifikantnim skupinam, argumentiramo, da so bile strukture na obali pogosto zgrajene na izbranih mestih, ki so ustrezala tako astronomskim kot topografskim kriterijem. |
