Mayan Healing Ritual.

From 10 San Cristobal
They actually rub an egg on a person to cure them of their illness!

All kidding side, I thought the similarity to South Texas curandismo was tremendous. Velas. Huevos. Hierbas. Prayer, of course.

But did it all come from the Maya or did it all come from a common source?

Don't get started on an Olmec Mother Culture theory. It just doesn't hold water, in my book...
