The team of Slovenian and Mexican archaeologists has been led by Ivan Šprajc, a Slovenian Maya specialist affiliated with the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (ZRC SAZU). He has been leading archaeological research in the Yucatan Peninsula for several decades, and has a number of major discoveries to his name.

This time around he was at the helm of uncovering a major urban centre that had remained hidden for more than a millennium, ZRC SAZU said.

No signs of looting in difficult-to-access city

Named Minanbe by researchers, the city spans 15 hectares and contains plazas surrounded by palaces and temples, a 13-metre pyramid, agricultural terraces and a water-management system.

Among the most notable structures, the pyramid displays characteristics of the Rio Bec architectural style, known for finely cut stone masonry, elaborate facades and prominent stairways.

The site dates back to the Late Classic period (600-900 AD), and remarkably, it has remained intact and showed no signs of looting.

It has been protected from looters because of the difficulty of access. After airborne laser scanning (LiDAR) technology revealed hidden structures, another lost Maya city, the archaeologists had to cut a 5-kilometre path through the dense vegetation before reaching the site by all-terrain vehicles and on foot. The name they gave the city reflects this effort, meaning "no path" in Yucatec Maya.

"Minanbe truly lies in the middle of exceptionally dense jungle," Šprajc told the Slovenian Press Agency on 24 June. "This is a protected biosphere reserve and national park. We often stumble upon old forest tracks or dirt roads, but this time there were none. We had to carve out the route ourselves."

The project was approved by the Archaeology Council of Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), which oversees archaeological research and fieldwork in the country.

First known Maya site to be uncovered in this area

The discovery is particularly significant because it is the first known Maya site to be identified in this part of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Archaeologists also uncovered 14 Maya monuments - stelae and altars arranged along a causeway linking different sections of the city. Several monuments bear hieroglyphic inscriptions and iconographic scenes, suggesting Minanbe served as an important political and religious centre, INAH said.

One stela, designated Stela 1, depicts a decapitation scene and carries a calendar inscription corresponding to the year 849 AD, providing a key clue for dating when the city was abandoned.

Other monuments portray Maya rulers wearing elaborate feathered headdresses and jewellery. The researchers said one hieroglyphic inscription likely dates back to the end of the 7th century AD and could represent the oldest known written record from the area.

Some altars and stelae appear to have been deliberately damaged or moved after the city's decline, a finding that may point to political or ideological changes that followed the collapse of the settlement, according to INAH.

The bronze statue has been given a second life after spending decades stored away. It was created by sculptor Boštjan Putrih (1947-2008), who in the 1980s advocated the idea that Slovenia needed an equestrian statue representing the nation as a whole.

In the 1990s he made two castings of his Maister statue, and one of them was erected in front of the Defence Ministry building in the capital in 2000, while the other was kept in a depot.

A few years ago it was bought by an initiative co-ordinated by independence-era Prime Minister Lojze Peterle, who decided to give it to the Park of Military History to mark both 35 years of independent Slovenia and the museum's 20th anniversary.

Maister, the general and Maister, the poet

Putrih's statue pays homage to Maister, the general, but it also touches upon his less known, artistic side with the rider depicted in a pose of contemplation.

Maister (1874-1934) was also a poet, having published a couple of poetry collections, and a self-taught painter. He personally knew several of the influential Slovenian artists at the time, including impressionist painter Rihard Jakopič and modernist poet Oton Župančič.

On top of that, he was a proud owner of one of the biggest private libraries in what is present-day Slovenia. The collection is now managed by the University of Maribor Library.

Disarming German soldiers and taking control of Maribor

Park of Military History director Janko Boštjančič told the statue unveiling ceremony that the monument honours an officer who recognised the weight of the moment and dared to risk everything for the Slovenian nation.

Maister established the first Slovenian army in modern history and took control of a large area around Maribor as the Austro-Hungarian Empire fell apart in 1918.

He set up an army of 4,000 soldiers, disarmed the German Schutzwehr security service, and disbanded the militia of the German city council in Maribor.

The general then occupied Slovenian ethnic territory, establishing the northern border between Austria and Yugoslavia that was later ratified by the Treaty of Saint-Germain, which ended the First World War. The same border runs between Slovenia and Austria to this very day.

Parallels between 1918 and 1991

In their addresses at the ceremony on 24 June, Peterle and current Prime Minister Janez Janša stressed the importance of historical memory and patriotism.

Peterle, who led the first multi-party Slovenian government after WWII, drew parallels between Maister's 1918 takeover of Maribor and Slovenia's 1991 independence, saying both were courageous steps taken despite predictions of failure.

Janša, a key independence-era figure who served as defence minister in 1990-1994, said in his keynote that "when we set out on the path to independence 35 years ago, we proved to the world once and for all that preparing to defend freedom and to be masters of our own land is but one of our nation's noblest virtues".

He concluded by paraphrasing former US President Ronald Reagan, saying that without the willingness to fight and preserve collective memory a nation can quickly lose its freedom.

The monument bears a dedication, To Slovenian Soldiers, in a reference to soldiers of past wars as well as members of the Territorial Defence and police who fought in the 1991 independence war.

There are several monuments to Maister in Slovenia, including in Maribor, Kamnik and Ljubljana. Arguably the most well-known is the 1999 equestrian statue by Jakov Brdar standing in front of Ljubljana's main train station.

The museum was founded by the third government led by Prime Minister Janez Janša, and shortly after his return to power this month, it became an independent institution again.

The aim of the museum is to collect, preserve and study in one place the items and archives tied to Slovenia's independence and to present relevant knowledge and values in exhibitions, the government said.

The museum will also serve as the central institution to support the scientific and research work dedicated to the country's democratisation and independence efforts.

In what the government sees as the perfect timing, the move practically coincides with the 35th anniversary of Slovenia's independence as the country observes Statehood Day on 25 June.

The museum to open as soon as possible

The process to re-establish the museum has been launched, and Culture Minister Ignacija Fridl Jarc hopes the institution would open as soon as possible.

Its offices will be on Metelkova 6 in a building owned by the Culture Ministry. It will be located in three of the rooms there that are now vacant.

Meanwhile, the ministry is considering other possible locations, Fridl Jarc said, noting that the premises originally planned for the museum now house the national archives.

€150,000 is earmarked for the museum this year and €300,000 next year, and the funding could further increase in the coming years.

Some opposition parties see museum as Janša's personal project

The re-establishment has sparked criticism from the opposition, including former Culture Minister and Left MP Asta Vrečko, who said the Museum of Slovenian Independence was nothing but a museum of Janša, a major independence-era figure, and his friends.

"It is an obvious political project where they want to write history from their viewpoint," she said, adding that it would divide the people.

Lenart Žavbi, an MP for the Freedom Movement, the party of the now former Prime Minister Robert Golob, largely echoed the sentiment. He hopes this time around the museum, as an independent institution, will have its own collection.

Back in 2021, when the museum was first established, some experts pointed to the lack of public debate and the fact that other institutions had been in charge of preserving the exhibits and archives of the country's independence efforts for decades and had the necessary expertise to do that.

In addition to the Museum of Contemporary History and the Military Museum of the Slovenian Armed Forces, the Park of Military History also houses an extensive collection dedicated to the country's independence efforts, including the 1991 independence war.

The title refers to the perennial plant Aruncus dioicus, commonly known as goat's beard, and the forest itself is basically a character in the novel. Kresničevje intertwines the elements of horror, spiritualism and oral literature while telling the stories of three protagonists.

The novel, which also won Bračič this year's literary critics' choice award, focuses on Agnes, a young woman who is searching for her missing sister in a remote forest in Koroška, a region in north Slovenia.

It explores the issues of personal and collective guilt, human relationships with nature, and the possibility of survival in a world full of uncertainty.

The Kresnik Prize jury praised the author's poetic voice, a style that helps build a special atmosphere including by evoking incantations, and her well-constructed characters.

Bračič accepted the prize, which comes along with €7,000, at an event at the Švicarija venue in Tivoli Park on 23 June.

She said she had serious doubts writing Kresničevje, and she wondered whether it would be a huge success or a complete failure. The lesson she has learned writing the novel about the relationship between humans and nature is that it is "extremely difficult to put yourself in the shoes of the other" and that one's own subjectivity cannot be transcended through linguistic and stylistic approaches.

She believes that in this day and age people should strive to meet each other halfway despite all odds.

Born in 1990, Bračič is an author, editor, curator and architect. Her first literary work was a collection of short stories Leteči ljudje (Flying People) in 2022, which also won the critics' choice award.

Seven woman laureates to date

Handed out by the publisher Delo, the annual Kresnik Prize has been conferred since 1991 and is considered the most prestigious best novel award in the country. Bračič's win marks the seventh time a woman author has received the prize.

For decades the award ceremony was held atop Rožnik hill in Ljubljana, but the event has now moved to Švicarija. Delo Mediji director Dejan Novaković told the newspaper Delo that the aim of the move was to make the ceremony more accessible and increase the turnout.

Last year, the prize went to Ana Schnabl for her novel September, a coming-of-age story about domestic violence, friendship and writing.
