a while ago I said I’d make edits of Road To El Dorado where Tulio/Miguel are Maya men instead of Spaniards, but also updated to be more accurate instead of Pan-mesoamerican. Some of the changes made for accuracy include:
The main source of inspiration in clothing and time period is the postclassic period (950-1539 AD) among the Yucatec Maya peoples, with fashion and textiles mostly inspired by Chichen-Itza
Tulio and Miguel are Maya warriors, though here they wear everyday attire, and Tulio wears red face paint, simlar to the ones here though not exactly
Chel is wearing a “horned” hairstyle common within the postclassic period, as well as a iipil/Huipil: the textile design on the collor comes from textiles found within Chichen Itza
sources of research are linked under the readmore. If you are Maya and you think something looks off, or if you have any thoughts, feel free to tell me, I am more than happy for feedback, but I did my best!
