... . That is, in 52 solar years there are 32.5 Synodic periods of Venus, and 84.5 Sidereal periods of Venus. [In 104 years there are 65 Synodic periods and 169 Sidereal periods.] 2). 18,980 days = (73 x 260) days. In 52 solar years there are 73 Mayan ritual years. B). The Jews used a soli-lunar year of 364 days. Their 50 year jubilee cycle was: (50 years) x (364 days/year) = 18,200 days = (81) x (224.6913) = (81) x (224.7 ) days. In 49 ...
192. "The Seasons Alter": Catastrophism in A Midsummer Night's Dream [Journals] [Kronos]
... a period of terrifying blazing darkness punctuated by frenzied movements, ugly noise and rapid changes in electromagnetic attraction. The historical result, after the heavens settled down, was an altered topography complemented by a new political and intellectual order throughout the world, with the establishment of Rome, the Greek city states, Israel of the later Prophets, late Mayan and Brahmanic cultures and the ascendance of rationalism in Western thought, codified in Aristotle. It is this passage from natural chaos to order and ideological chaos to rationalism, of which we all possess an innate racial knowledge, which is echoed in the play. To apply this directly to A Midsummer Night's Dream , we must look first at ...

... of a blazing mountain- the biggest. Mandans or Numangkake, a tribe of North American of Siouan stock, significantly call the Flood Mihnihrokahasha, or the Sinking of the Waters. Also the Muspilli Epic (cf. p. 57) stresses the disappearance of the sea at the time when the moon falls'. The Quiché, Indians of Mayan stock, say that in the beginning there was nothing under the darkness of heaven except the sea(and, of course, the refuge mountain which sheltered their ancestors, but which is not mentioned). At the creative command their highest deity, the Feathered Serpent (the dying Tertiary satellite), the mountains emerged like lobsters out ...

... priest observed sunrises by standing behind a stake and noting the position of the sun relative to the marker. By this means the priest-astronomers were able to pinpoint the solstices, equinoxes and other important religious as well as secular dates throughout the year.(3 ) Similarly, at Uaxactun, Guatemala (328-1389 A.D .) , the Mayan high priest would stand at dawn on a raised stone platform at the times of solstices and equinoxes and relate the sunrise to specific parts of the superstructure on a temple that stood directly to the east of him.

196. Return to the Paelo-Saturnian Ssystem (Forum) [Journals] [Aeon]
... (Mishneh Torah). This tradition is not in Cardona's hands to discredit or explain away- it is beyond him or anyone else. I encourage Cardona to continue writing about the events of the Creation, to demonstrate the impact it had on the world, to glean what he can from world myth. But be careful: Greek and Mayan myths have no oral tradition to carry the original intentions of the authors. These writings are therefore mincemeat for anyone to read whatever they like into them. The Jews, on the other hand, have a living, unbroken, authoritative, and ultra-conservative tradition. If Cardona can twist around the Hebrew perception of G-d- which is so ...

... entity like themselves .. . They knew no sickness .. ." Again, Egyptian mythology shows the same view that the age when the gods lived on Earth was a Golden Age, destruction may have existed even then; but the principle of justice reigned over them. In the Sumerian myths, we find the same thing, the Mayans, the Popol Vuh, talks about the first men: "They were able to know all .. . but later their eyes were covered and they could only see what was close." Here we get into the second part of this myth, which is common to all ancient peoples: the Fall. We can see in ...
198. The Paleo-Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... , so many such traditions from the western world that, in the work cited, I did not dare present them all for fear of boring the reader to death.) Myths pertaining to Saturn from Mesoamerica are also known. And there, too, the age of darkness is spoken of. The Aztec Quetzalcoatl, the same as the Mayan Kukulkan, a deity identifiable as a personification of Saturn, [28] was said to have existed in an era of primordial night. [29] So, likewise, with the traditions of Central and South America. [30] On the other hand, it is true that some myths specify a perpetual day at the beginning ...

... disagree with another's scholarly interpretation, it is something else entirely to reenter the body of evidence as if it had never existed. But regardless of the personal reasons by which he was so drawn to act, the imagined wisdom of this rejection comes under real pressure with Eric Aitchison's recent Oxford Conference paper [18] declaring astounding mathema-tical correlations between Mayan, Mesopotamian, Hebrew and Egyptian calendars, at once under-scoring ancient concepts of World Ages during which the Earth's relationship to the Sun changed from that of its precursor, forcing at once unilateral world-wide calendar revisions. And as if to provide the perfect squelch to the New Chronology, most recent changes seem to be associated with the Era of ...
200. Thoth Vol III, No. 13: Oct 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... relation between early words for "star" and Venus, since Venus presented the appearance of a giant star against the backdrop of Saturn. In this sense, Venus was the original prototype for "star" and could serve as the "star" par excellence in ancient nomenclature. As I have documented elsewhere, in various languages- such as Mayan and Polynesian- the word for "star" also means "Venus." Thus I would love to see Dr. Wescott (or anyone else) prove that the IE word "star" is cognate with Ishtar/Astarte. DAVE TALBOTT adds: Here is a personal opinion concerning S-T-R roots in the Indo- European languages. Virtually ...
