... Warner B. Sizemore In a letter to the editor of the journal Chiron [* Now defunct] (Winter-Spring 1974, pp. 44-45), Mr. Ian C. Johnson criticized Velikovsky's use in Worlds in Collision of Charles Etienne Brasseur's delusory translations of the Troano Codex (now part of what is called the Codex Tro-Cortesianus) and of Mayan monument stones. On the face of it, Mr. Johnson's criticism was just, for as Velikovsky, himself, acknowledged in note 2 of "On the Other Side of the Ocean": The Mayan tongue is still spoken by about 300,000 people, but of the Mayan hieroglyphics only the characters employed in the calendar are ...

3. When Venus Was A Comet [Journals] [Kronos]
... one of the accompanying monks observed that "so accurately did they keep the record or the days when [Venus] appeared and disappeared that they never made a mistake".(4 ) Venus symbolism has been found in all forms of inscriptions, including the texts, pottery, and steles. While the intimate association of Venus with the Mayan calendar is well-known, only recently has it become clear just how thoroughly Mayan life was dominated by the appearance and motion of Venus. As Floyd Lounsbury has demonstrated, the Mayans timed their rituals, and even their wars, to significant moments of the Venusian orbit.(5 ) B. C. Brundage made the following observation: ...

4. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1996:1 Home | Issue Contents Bookshelf Breaking the Maya Code by Michael D. Coe Thames and Hudson 1992 A very readable account of the progress over the last hundred years in deciphering the Mayan script, from complete mystery to the detail of dating, rulers' histories, religious ceremonies and mythology which can be interpreted today. The personal involvement of the author with many of the great names in Mayan glyph decipherment makes for some interesting insights into the human background of a great achievement - not much different, I suspect, from the goings on in most other disciplines, where the rule of one or two strong personalities can hold back ...

... ) an identification accepted by virtually every epigrapher concerned with the Maya glyphs. The basic form of the glyph a circled cross with a circlet in each quadrant- is so widespread that it has the meaning "Morning Star" (which we usually interpret as Venus) among the Tarahumara of Northern Mexico.(4 ) The name that some Mayans have for Venus appears to have been borrowed by Tarascans (as far away as Michoacan, Mexico).(5 ) More relevant to the Maya area: "The red prefix is usually found with the Venus glyph (fig. 42, 31, 33), but rarely on the monuments (fig. 54, 5) ...

7. The Pentagram of Venus [Journals] [Horus]
... between the Sun and the Earth each time it overtakes the latter. An inferior conjunction occurs when Venus is on a straight line between the Sun and the Earth. And the time between two successive inferior conjunctions Is 584 days (to the nearest integer), which is called the synodic period. Using a 365-day year (as did the Mayans and Egyptians), five circlings of Venus is very nearly equal to eight Earth years, since 5 x 584 = 8 x 365 = 2920 days. Venus is not visible at the time conjunctions occur, but her first appearance as a Morning Star (heliacal rising) occurs within a few days after inferior conjunction, indicating completion of ...

... the "smoking star" in the Codex Telleriano-Remensis, Aveni offers his own attempt at an explanation: "Perhaps a cometary object appeared near the planet." (22) Of course, Forrest could just as easily have cited this guess, then dropped the whole issue. But is there something more worth investigating here? Figure 1: Mayan Caban-curl Throughout the Americas, including Mexico, natives called a comet the "star with hair," or a "long-haired star," or a "maned star," an appellation that fits comfortably with the global language of the comet. In fact, the "long-haired star" is the single most common phrase for the comet ...
