The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is as follows: "The discovery of this object occurred during the construction of Part 2 of the Maya Railway Line, where excavations in the 1990s revealed the remains of two palace-style structures within the Cansacbe archaeological site."

In a grave, a plate was found placed as an offering, and there is a picture of the protective spirit Wahyis, a mystical entity revered by the elite of the Maya society.

"Institut National Antropologi dan Sejarah Meksiko (INAH)" translates to "National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico (INAH)" in English.

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is as follows:

Classic Maya inscriptions mention that Maya people who possess Wahyis are called Wahyaw, which means shaman, sorcerer, or nagual (someone who can metamorphose into an animal).

"Sihir" in English is "Magic".

In the story, Wahyis will rest in the heart during the day, but at night, when its owner is asleep, Wahyis' soul can be projected into the form of animals, comets, thunderstorms, and other mystical phenomena according to its desires. The word "Way" is the root of the word "Mimpi" in the Maya language, with various meanings related to dreams, magic, transformation, and spirit companions.

In the recent study conducted by Christophe Helmke and Jesper Nielsen, it was concluded that Wahyis represents or symbolizes the suffering of the spiritual world that can be manipulated and transferred to the human body.

"Mantra"
The most persuasive evidence linking Wahyis to the disease can be found in "El Ritual de los Bacebes," a Yukatek colonial manuscript from the 18th century believed to be a reproduction of an earlier ancient manuscript.

This work consists of 68 parts that include spells, prayers, and medical formulas to cure various diseases.

               

"Healing Diseases"

The healers strive to expel these diseases from the bodies of infected individuals. Giving names to these diseases provides understanding of forms believed to resemble monkeys, deer, jaguars, birds, insects, and snakes.

On the Cansacbé plate, a representation of a jaguar sitting or a man wearing a jaguar skin is depicted, surrounded by boxes symbolizing turtle shells. This type of representation can be found on ceramic artifacts that date back to the Late Classic period, between the years 600 and 900 AD.
