The myth of the unbeatable fighter is just that, a myth. In what will go down as the single most memorable UFC fight in history, Ronda Rousey was not only defeated, but systematically destroyed by a fighter and a coaching staff that had spent years preparing for that night. On 2/28, Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey were the two co-headliners on a show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The idea was that Holm, a former world boxing champion, would impressively knock out Raquel Pennington, a .500 level fighter who was known for exchanging blows and not taking her down. Rousey was there to face Cat Zingano, a fight that was supposed to be the hardest one of her career. Holm looked unimpressive, barely squeaking by in a split decision. Rousey beat Zingano with an armbar in 14 seconds.

  • The Maize Tamale in Classic Maya Diet, Epigraphy, and Art 153
    CHAPTER 5 TheMaizeTamaleinClassicMaya Diet,Epigraphy,andArt In the past decade of Classic Maya research, the study of iconography and epigraphy has not played a major role in the formulation of archaeological research designs. Site excavation and settlement reconnaissance strategies tend to focus on gathering information relevant to topics such as relative and absolute chronology, settlement patterns, technology, subsistence, and exchange. Most recent epigraphic and iconographic work has focused upon less-material aspects of culture, including calendrics, the compilation of king lists, war events, and the delineation of particular ceremonies and gods. The differences are an expected consequence of increased specialization, but they should by no means be considered as constituting a hard and fast dichotomy. Some of the most exciting and important work results from exchange between the two general disciplines; the calendar correlation problem is an obvious example. To cite this chapter: Yet another is Dennis Puleston’s (1977) work on the iconography of raised field agriculture. [1989]2018 In Studies in Ancient Mesoamerican Art and Architecture: Selected Works According to Puleston, the abundant representation of water lilies, fish, aquatic birds, and by Karl Andreas Taube, pp. 150–167.

A considerable body of data now exists on Maya raised fields, but little subsequent work has been published on the iconography of raised fields or even Classic Maya agriculture. In part, this may relate to Puleston’s failure to define the entire agricultural complex.

  • The Temple of Quetzalcoatl and the Cult of Sacred War at Teotihuacan
    CHAPTER 7 TheTempleofQuetzalcoatlandthe Cultof Sacred Warat Teotihuacan The Temple of Quetzalcoatl at Teotihuacan has been the source of startling archaeological discoveries since the early portion of this century. Beginning in 1918, excavations by Manuel Gamio revealed an elaborate and beautifully preserved facade underlying later construc- tion. Although excavations were performed intermittently during the subsequent decades, some of the most important discoveries have occurred during the last several years. Recent investigations have revealed mass dedicatory burials in the foundations of the Temple of Quetzalcoatl (Sugiyama 1989a; Cabrera Castro et al. 1988); at the time of this writing, more than eighty individuals have been discovered interred in the foundations of the pyramid. Sugiyama (1989a) persuasively argues that many of the individuals appear to be either war- riors or dressed in the office of war. The archaeological investigations by Cabrera, Sugiyama, and Cowgill are ongoing, and to comment extensively on the implications of their work would be both premature and presumptuous. Nonetheless, the recent excavations have placed an entirely new light on the significance of the Temple of Quetzalcoatl and its remarkable sculptural format. In this study, I will be concerned with the iconographic meaning of the Temple of Quetzalcoatl facade. In recent work, I noted that the temple facade represents serpents passing through a facade of circular mirrors (Taube 1986, 1988e). Two forms of serpents are present, Quetzalcoatl and an ancestral form of the Xiuhcoatl. In this respect, the Temple of Quetzalcoatl facade may be compared to the Postclassic wind temple of Ehecatl-Quetzalcoatl, which also appears To cite this chapter: with mirrors and serpents (Taube 1986).

Cada cual es libre de prestarla o no crédito. Difícil sería, tratándose del comienzo de estas maravillosas y terribles aventuras, imaginar lugar más apropiado que las islas de la Desolación, nombre que les fue dado en 1779 por el capitán Cook. Después de lo que he visto durante mi estancia en ellas en 1809, puedo asegurar que merecen el lamentable calificativo dado por el célebre navegante inglés. Con decir islas de la Desolación, todo está dicho. Sé que en la nomenclatura geográfica se las conoce con el nombre de Kerguelen, generalmente adoptado para este grupo, comprendido en el 49° 54’ de latitud S y 69° 6’ de longitud E, nombre que se justifica por el hecho de que en el año 1772, el barón francés Kerguelen fue el primero que señaló estas islas en la parte meridional del Océano índico.
