What qualifies this work for Doctoral dissertation?
1. The theses presented are the result of the author’s original research.
2. The very title of the dissertation poses the hypothesis that the Maya were a
true civilization - a hypothesis proven by the use of widely-accepted scientific
methods.
3. The goal of the theses is to present original scientific contributions to
existing knowledge about Maya culture.
4. In order to conduct comparative analyses between Western and Mayan
Civilizations, the author established a set of primary and secondary
comparative parameters. There is no scientific precedence that could serve
as an example of this pioneering research and analyses.
This doctoral dissertation is a novelty in regards to the official and sanctioned
knowledge about the Maya culture:
- Maya culture represents a Civilization as opposed to the approach of the
Maya as an “Indian Tribe” or “Neolithic Culture”
