... Cardona, Dave Talbott DAVE DAVIS: Stecchini claimed that ball games were derived from the idea that the zodiacal band in the sky, 7o on either side of the ecliptic, in which the sun & planets moved, was a celestial ball game, the planets bouncing off the "walls" which bounded the band. He particularly cites the Mayan Chichan Itza arena as based on this idea... any thoughts on this? DWARDU CARDONA: Ball games, especially those once played in Mesoamerica, were definitely celestially inspired. However, I do not accept Stecchini's interpretation. Rather, I assume that these ball games derived from the once shifting planets within the Saturnian configuration. DAVE ...
202. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . This theory, therefore, is unlikely as the earliest Europeans there were much more interested in gold extraction than viniculture. 3. Ancient peoples built the terraces and perhaps carved the Ape Man'. Maybe - but who? A flight of fancy suggests similarities with stepped terraces or pyramids elsewhere in the world, so are we looking at Mayan, Aztec, Polynesian, or other explorers? Even Egyptian - or is this idea too far fetched? So far as I am aware, no Egyptologist has looked seriously at such few ancient artefacts as Australia has to offer but perhaps it is time that someone did so. A Mr Gilroy, director of the Kedumba Nature Display, ...

... the full form, containing several of the elements "a " to "e ", that represents a real-life imitation of Saturn, the god of the second and dominating sun in the period following the emplacement of the Moon and creation of the oceans. Two half-human, half-bullish figures uphold the Saturn image. The drawing 25g shows an ancient Mayan figure from Uxmal, Yucatan, Mexico, and is called a "solar symbol" which it is, but a symbol of the second sun Saturn [5 ]. Figure "h " is the full composite drawn by Talbott. Figure "i " is a Dogon item of today; Temple has described the astronomy of this remarkable ...

205. Cultural Amnesia [Books]
... five-pointed star of Communist Russia and China, and of the US Armed Forces are emblems of Athene-Pallas. The dragon, be it Chinese, Assyrian or Mexican, or the dragon fighting with St. George or with Michael the archangel originates from the apparition first seen on the celestial screen in the days of the Passage of the Sea. All Mayan, Olmec and Toltec monuments and temples are constructed to Quetzalcohuatl, the planet Venus and other planetary bodies which superceded in their dominance one another in planetary ages. Quetzalcohuatl is omnipresent in Yucatan, a winged serpent or dragon, exhaling burning water or naphtha. War The after-effects of what took place millennia ago do not lose their grip on ...
206. The Great Father [Books]
... his subjects, the increase of the herds, and the fertility of the land." (35) This image of the local king is drawn directly from the image of the Universal Monarch. Thus did every ancient ruler call himself the "king of the world" and claim to radiate power and light. Thompson tells us that the Mayan ruler declared himself "as something like King of Kings, ruler of the world, regent on earth of the great Itzam Na .. . a sort of divine right of kings which would have turned James I green with envy." (36) What Thompson calls an "inflated notion of grandeur" seems to characterize all ancient ...
207. The Polar Sun [Books]
... . (102) He was not only the Lord of Fire which burnt in front of every temple and in the middle of every hut in Mexico, but also Lord of the Pole Star. He was the pivot of the universe and one of the forms of the Supreme Deity." An obvious counterpart of this central sun is the Mayan creator god Huracan, the "Heart of Heaven" at the celestial pole. The Pawnee locate the "star chief of the skies" at the pole. He is the "star that stands still." Of this supreme power they say, "its light is the radiance of the Sun God shining through." (103 ...

... city and the lost paradise. (60) The "all-containing city of Brahma" at the pole merges into the paradisal plain of Ila; (61) the Imperial City of the Chinese Shang-ti coincides with the mythical paradise of Kwen-lun; (62) while the Mexican lost city of Aztlan (" surrounded by waters") and the Mayan lost city of Tula (the "enclosure" in the sea) both appear as gardens of abundance. (63) A coherent pattern unifies what are often assumed to be unrelated myths and symbols: the created "earth," the lost paradise, the wheel of the sun, the revolving throne, and the cosmic city. ...
209. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Two [Books]
... Corrections to Part 2 p.160 Appendices Introductory Note : In chapter 11 of "The Book of the Damned", Charles Fort wrote: His method was the usual method by which anything can be identified' as anything else, that is to pick out whatever is agreeable and disregard the rest. Fort was here actually talking about certain Mayan symbols supposedly identified by a Mr. Charles F. Holder on "a strange stone resembling a meteorite". But it seems to me that Fort's words could also serve to describe Velikovsky's working method in "Worlds in Collision"- this being the continuing theme of the present book. I would stress, however, that Fort's words ...

... been acknowledged by students of ancient religion. First, it appears that traditional lightning lore is completely inconsistent with the modern-day phenomenon of lightning. Second, the images share a common archetypal symbolism and often overlap each other, thus confirming their coherence and the intricate interweaving of mythical motifs. Thus, for instance, an old verse relating to the Mayan deity Cucumatz neatly summarizes the archetypal reconstruction defended here: "In seven days he [Cucmatz] took upon himself the nature and form of a serpent, and again of an eagle, and of a tiger; and in seven days he changed himself into coagulated blood." [87] Third, all of these motifs are mirrored ...
