Between 1998 and 2006, at least 48 elderly women were strangled to death in Mexico City. These murders would lead to Mexico's first ever investigation into an active serial killer. The task force was certain that a man was responsible for the killings, and were shocked to realize the killer was a middle-aged mother of four.  A wannabe luchadora who told friends she once wrestled under the name of the Lady of Silence.

Hey there! Welcome to this awesome episode of the Unrefined Podcast, where we will be taking you on a wild ride through the world of genetic engineering, Mayan lore, and corn. Buckle up!

So, in this episode, our fabulous hosts Brandon, Lindsy and BT are diving deep into the fascinating world of corn. And no, we're not just talking about your average corn on the cob here. We're talking about the genetically engineered corn that has some seriously cool ties to Mayan mythology. How cool is that?

And of course, no mythological discussion is complete without touching on creation stories. Our hosts explore various creation stories in Aztec and Mayan mythology, giving us a glimpse into the historical changes in religious beliefs. It's like a rollercoaster of ancient awesomeness!

But hey, we're not just here for the myths and legends. Lindsy and BT also touch on the potential health effects of corn in our diets. It's always good to know what we're putting into our bodies, right?

To wrap things up, your hosts are kind enough to recommend additional resources for all you curious listeners out there who want to dive even deeper into Mayan and Aztec culture. We've got your back!

According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, Tlachtli was "a ball game played by Central American Indians (as the Aztecs and Mayas) in which the players endeavor by the use of only the leg, hip and elbow to send a solid rubber ball through two rings set vertically in the walls of an I-shaped court."

In this week's episode, Hunter takes a look at this ancient Mesoamerican ballgame. More specifically he talks about how it was played, who played it, the cultural impact that it had, and how it is making a comeback in modern times.

Chalchiuhtlicue is the Nahua or Aztec goddess of fresh water. She is known as a kind goddess for her element’s life-giving properties, but can wreak destruction just as easily. She is most well known for her role in the Aztec world creation myth, serving as the fourth sun in the fourth age.

This month, we're talking about Goddesses: mythical figures who have shaped culture, history, and imagination around the world.

History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should.

Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. 

Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, and Abbey Delk. Special thanks to Shira Atkins.

The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. has a fake crystal skull. And so does the British Museum in London, as does Paris's Quai Branly Museum. As of 2019, it was estimated there are more than a dozen crystal skulls known to exist. Long considered pre-Columbian relics, they've also inspired theories about the occult, aliens, and psychic abilities. But the reality is, none of it's true. Meet Eugène Boban, the real provenance of crystal skulls.

After a weekend immersion in ceremony with a Pit River elder and some Aztec ceremonial dancers for a friends wedding that I played flute for, I learned more meaning behind sacred numbers in some of the North American indigenous cultures and saw the synchronicities with the Patterns of Creation.

In order to achieve true transaction privacy, it is not enough to encrypt or build ZK proofs for transaction bundles, as long as the underlying blockchain uses an account-based model. Aztec is building a ZKVM that superposes an UTXO model, so that balances are constantly updated as new, untraceable, log entries. The upcoming Aztec 3 aims to enable privacy-preserving smart contracts, using a hybrid, multi-layered rollup. This approach allows for both public and private smart contracts to be executed simultaneously.

We were joined by Zac Williamson & Joe Andrews, to discuss the evolution of Aztec, from ZK Money to their upcoming privacy-preserving hybrid ZK rollup.

Topics covered in this episode:

• The evolution of Aztec, from ZK money to Aztec 3
• How Aztec’s ZKVM ensures privacy for Ethereum transactions
• The need for UTXO model for privacy-preserving encrypted databases
• Interacting with public smart contracts in a private manner
• Technical roadmap and challenges faced along the way
• How Aztec differs from Mina protocol
• Recursive proofs
• Estimating gas
• Main-net sequencer decentralisation
• Goblin Plonk
• The future of programmable privacy

“INJUSTICE ANYWHERE
IS INJUSTICE EVERYWHERE.”

I had said I would introduce a Native American, or better said, indigenous co-host to you in my Boldly Feminine introduction. I would like to remind those listening that ninety percent of the ecological biodiversity of the planet is being safeguarded by the small, five percent of indigenous peoples that inhabit our planet. These include the tribes of the Savannah in Africa, such as the Masai, the Maori of Australia, the Inuit of Alaska, the Aymara of Peru, the Cabecar of the Amazon, the Asmat of New Guinea and many many more. In spite of their devotion to preserve the divergent species that co-habitate this small blue planet we all share - seventy percent of animal species have disappeared since 1970. The protective, respectful indigenous culture of foresight that coexists by planning seven generations into the future has been obliterated by consumerism, the consequences of destructive capitalism, mass consumption and  the normalization of immediate gratification.

It is my pleasure to introduce to you today Tanori, a wonderful human of the Yaqui tribe. The Yaqui are an UTO-AZTECAN speaking indigenous people, widespread in the americas but who  principally inhabit the western hemisphere of North America, from lower Canada to the farthest reaches of the Yucatan in Mexico.

The Pasqua Yaqui tribe based in Tucson, Arizona is the ONLY federally recognized Yaqui tribe in the United States though, as mentioned, their people are spread widely across a vast area of the American.

There was a period of armed conflict that began in 1533 that extended up until 1929 called the Yaqui Wars, fought between New Spain, its successor the Mexican state, and the indigenous Yaqui Indians. Over the course of nearly 400 (FOUR HUNDRED) years, massacre after massacre was brought repeatedly against the Yaqui by either the Spanish or the Mexicans in an attempt that failed at complete genocide, but forced the deportation of Yaquis into slavery as far as the last reaches of the Yucatan peninsula.

As you can tell with Tanori, the Yaqui are historically a very tall people in stature. Due to their physical strength, they were relentless in the defense of their land, peoples and customs for century upon century and to this day have settlements high in the Sonoran mountains of Mexico, virtually unvisited by outsiders where they keep to themselves. These factors have been instrumental in preserving their language, customs and culture over hundreds of years to the present day.

I’m going to have Tanori join in now and it’s very helpful that he has studied his culture as part of his university education. I also wanted to invite him speak of his experiences being a Yaqui born on lands that his ancestors inhabited and governed for millennia, but to which he actually, today, has no rights. I had questions about passports, laws, governance, law enforcement, tribal mores, American norms and so many factors that affected him personally as well as disaffected him socially.

So as per my podcast with Jane Elliott, the diversity educator par none, let’s re-iterate the golden rule: “Race is a concept and species is a fact.“ We as a human species all began our journey to populate the planet from the southernmost tip of Africa, almost two million years ago, and today have all been mostly subjugated to white man’s rule across the planet.

So, Tanori, please share what it meant to grow up Yaqui in South Los Angeles, Arizona, Sonora  and where, if ever, you felt you belonged, since these cities and places which were your tribal home by right now had geographical and political demarcations
