Archivo: Sacred Mayan Ceiba Tree

Descripción: The Ceiba Tree was the sacred tree of the Mayans, and it had many representations and significances. According to <a href="http://www.ceiba.org">www.ceiba.org</a>, "The ancient Maya of Central America believed that a great Ceiba tree stood at the center of the earth, connecting the terrestrial world to the spirit-world above. The long thick vines hanging down from its spreading limbs provided a connection to the heavens for the souls that ascended them." Another cool science fact is that the boles of Ceiba trees are often tinted green by chlorophyll pigments that allow the tree's trunk to photosynthesize!
