Welcome to the first issue of this newsletter! Here, we Let's explore What is México Unearthed, let's discover the woman behind it, and with the reading of this fortnight, sharpen your skills in Research with Presentation Welcome to the first issue of this small Newsletter about Mexican Cultural Heritage and Tourism.  I am happy to launch this little Newsletter on Cultural Tourism after years of working more than 20 years ago in Cultural Heritage from academia and cultural Tourism as a qualified guide at the National Museum of Anthropology in México City for five years. Although I got my first accreditation as a bilingual tourist guide since I was a bachelor. Now that I have one foot in México and another in the Czech Republic, it's the best moment to work on disseminating the Cultural Tourism and Cultural Heritage project.  Rest assured, my extensive scientific, academic, and tourist experience equips me to provide recommendations of places, people, and services with unparalleled quality and reliability, but overall, unique from a human and cultural point of view. As an Anthropologist and Archaeologist, I hate the artificiality and superficiality of massive tourism focused on consumption. As a Mexican and human being, I'm glad to share the fantastic work and stories of people who go behind cultural heritage and monuments. So, this small newsletter is a brief, free digital publication focused on presenting interesting and authentic projects of local people in cultural and community tourism. It will be released every fifteen days. I hope to see you here whenever you like. Now, Let's Now let's check the structure of the publication: two fixed sections and one variable: Section 1. The People behind Culture refers to a specialist or founder behind a project, a piece, a collection, a civil association, or a cause. Only on this occasion will I talk about myself and my projects. I will introduce myself and describe the causes that moved me to work with Culture and cultural heritage. Section 2. The Reading (Maximum 10 min of reading time). A short reading about any exciting aspect of Mexican Archaeology, History, traditions, or travel tips related to my country, Mexico. For this, I will leave you a free link to the complete publication on the Medium platform. Right now, I present a brief guide to take advantage of the historical and bibliographical sources on the Conquest of Mexico with basic bibliography included. Section 3. The Tianguis is a miscellaneous section. As its name says in clear Mexican, it can have a little bit of everything. In Mexico, a tianguis is a mobile market where you can find everything! Absolutely everything! In this case, it can reply to a question from the audience about something related to a piece, collection, theme, specialization, place, etc., or introduce the native music of México or explain Mexicanisms, or anything! I accept suggestions! At this time, we only have the two first sections NOw, let's go with the first section: The people behind the Culture. For a version of this section written in Spanish, click the link to the profile of the non-profit organization that sponsors this newsletter on Linkedin below As I said before, I'm going to talk about myself and my major projects at this unique time. I want to contribute to disseminating Mexican Culture worldwide and support the specialists and founders behind the Mexican Cultural Heritage with these two projects: Side A, Mexico Unearthed (The Newsletter) . It was born as my cultural tourism project in the National Museum Of Anthropology in México City from 2017 to 2022, focused mainly on foreign audiences. As a part of this project, between 2020 and 2021, we had a website to offer different cultural tourism tours and digital cultural services in Mexico City.  As an archaeologist and anthropologist with experience in the tourism sector and education, I created this alternative for intelligent travelers and Mexican Culture lovers unsatisfied with traditional tourism's superficiality based on consumption. It is essential to highlight that Culture (as the varied expression of a society) is not an elitist hobby as it has been branded lately in my country, but a necessity that is part of its human nature. Side B, the Intercontinental Association for Mexican Cultural Heritage (AIPCM A.C.), by its Spanish acronym), is a non-profit organization whose vocation is to support and encourage the continuous professional growth of specialists (professional or not) of Mexican cultural heritage and to disseminate their work to the world. Likewise, this organization receives donations for academics, scientists, founders, authors or creators of cultural projects or in relation to cultural or community tourism within Mexico. We were legally incorporated in 2019 and began operations in early 2020. However, due to the pandemic, we suspended activities that same year due to a lack of funds and human capital. We are now reconstituting and reactivating 100%, making México Unearthed one the most important tools. If you are interested in contributing to this organization or this newsletter, please contact us! Section 2. The Reading. How to "squeeze" the texts of the Conquest of Mexico (With Bibliography Included) The written documents of yesterday and today are treasures full of different sources of information. Any document, from chronicles reporting on a king to gossip posts on any social network, leaves essential clues about its authors and times for those who know how to read it. We can develop a simple system to read between the lines of all the information its authors inadvertently left behind and help us unmask their true intentions. Remember that there is no writing yesterday, today, or tomorrow that is neutral or completely objective. To read it in full, go to Medium free with the link below! With this, it finish the newsletter of this fortnight Thanks for subscribing, and see you next fortnight Guadalupe Zetina Gutiérrez Founder. San Francisco de Campeche, Campeche, México.
