Guatemala Holds Mayan Ceremony for Nobel Laureate Miguel Ángel Asturias' Ashes Return
A Mayan ceremony at the Kaminaljuyu archaeological site in Guatemala City honored Nobel laureate Miguel Ángel Asturias as his ashes returned from France after decades abroad. The ritual included indigenous offerings and prayers, with Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchú Tum participating. Asturias, a writer and diplomat known for defending Indigenous rights and denouncing dictators, died in 1974 in exile. His ashes will be interred at a cultural center named after him, marking a symbolic homecoming under Guatemala's new presidency.
