Virtual Realities,
the questioning of  what is “real,” and Mayan traditions overlap. This article explains how. by Devonee Trivett

Sarah Jackson, an anthropological archaeologist and an assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati is discovering how Mayans held a concept of “partible personhood,” a belief that material objects have their own 'identity” (some may call it a soul). Mayan belief also held that the human identity can be divided in parts live outside and inside the body simultaneously. "These things start to occupy this uncomfortable space where we question, 'Is it real, or is it not real?' “ (University of Cincinnati, 2014, April 24). Sound like virtual reality?

I am excited about the next Mayan virtual reality, myself. Who will be the first to take this idea and really go with it?
