It seems to the Nottingham sheriff of our day that whatever legend may say, it is still harmful, since the unauthorized redistribution of wealth is by no means noble. The Sheriff believes that the Nottingham Forest football team and the famous skaters Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean are more worthy of the attention and honor of their fellow countrymen than the noble outlaw. Greensmith managed to win over the city government, and a consortium of local businessmen hired four advertising agencies to create a new symbol of the city, not reminiscent of robbery and violence.
ответ на русском:
Ноттингемскому шерифу наших дней кажется, что, как легенду ни крути, она все равно вредна, поскольку самовольное перераспределение богатства отнюдь не благородно. Шериф считает, что футбольная команда Nottingham Forest и знаменитые фигуристы Джейн Торвилл и Кристофер Дин более достойны внимания и почитания земляков, чем благородный разбойник. Гринсмит сумел привлечь на свою сторону городские власти, и консорциум местных бизнесменов нанял четыре рекламных агентства, перед которыми поставлена задача — создать новый символ города, не напоминающий о разбое и насилии.
Maya is a Mesoamerican civilization known for its writing, art, architecture, mathematical and astronomical systems. The beginning of its formation is attributed to the pre-classical era (2000 BC - 250 AD), most of the Mayan cities reached their peak in the classical period (250-900 AD). By the time the conquistadors arrived, it was in deep decline. The Mayans built stone cities, many of which were abandoned long before the arrival of Europeans, others were inhabited after. The Mayan calendar was also used by other peoples of Central America. The hieroglyphic writing system was used, partially deciphered. Numerous inscriptions on the monuments have been preserved. They created an effective farming system, had deep knowledge in the field of astronomy. The descendants of the ancient Maya are not only the modern Maya peoples who preserved the language of their ancestors, but also part of the Hispanic population of the southern states of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras. Some Mayan cities are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List: Palenque, Chichen Itza, Uxmal in Mexico, Tikal and Quirigua in Guatemala, Copan in Honduras, Hoya de Seren in El Salvador.
