These divine mushrooms were so cleverly encoded in the religious art of the New World that prior to this study they virtually escaped detection. The study, a very large document containing over 300 images, is presented in three parts (the Home Page, Part I and Part II). It was inspired by a theory first proposed by my father, the late Maya archaeologist Dr. Stephan F. de Borhegyi, (more commonly known as Dr. Stephan Borhegyi,) that hallucinogenic mushroom rituals were a central aspect of Maya religion. He based this theory on his identification of a mushroom stone cult that came into existence in the Guatemala Highlands and Pacific coastal area around 1000 B.C. along with a trophy head cult associated with the Mesoamerican ballgame.
