By the time of the flowering of classical Greece (400 b.c.), the Maya were already constructing pyramids and temples around central plazas. Within a few hundred years the structures took on a monumental scale that required millions of man-hours of labor, and technical and organizational expertise. Over the next millennium, dozens of city-states evolved, each governed by powerful lords, some with populations larger than any city in Europe at the time, and connected by road-like causeways of crushed stone.

The Maya developed a cohesive, unified cosmology, an array of common gods, a creation story, and a shared artistic and architectural vision. They created stucco and stone monuments and bas reliefs, sculpting figures and hieroglyphs with refined artistic skill. At their peak, an estimated ten million people occupied the Maya’s heartland on the Yucatan Peninsula, a region where only half a million now live.

Dr. Jan’s curiosity was piqued by the ancients―their pyramids and temples―built with intelligent design, which initiating a pondering―what is the blueprint in this awe-inspiring world of ours and how did existence begin? Always a deep thinker, her intuition conveyed a picture of human existence thus unexplained by the mainstream to explain, faltering against the truly profound questions of human existence.

Dr. Jan’s work with mind-body healing practices had revealed a mysterious dimension of consciousness, and enlightenment which connected her ideas about the antiquity of our origins. Dr. Jan’s observations of terrestrial sciences and cosmology began to come together into pattern. In the 80’s, while interviews on television, radio and research ensued, Dr. Jan expanded her philosophical repertoire and began developing this concept, Anthrogenesis, now her first book in this genre.
