The Mayans loved monkeys... they WERE advanced!
It turns out the our Work at The Darwin Group melds quite nicely with the Mayan theory on the evolution of the cosmos (we are leaving the age of Power and entering the age of Integrity, BTW.)
I also learned that Monkeys played a big part in their god and belief system. Check out the Monkey Twin Gods!
But really, who could say no to a monkey if it asked to be a deity?
Certainly not I!
