... ages yet to come- that of the eighth and of the ninth sun.(12) The aborigines of British North Borneo, even today, declare that the sky was originally low, and that six suns perished, and at present the world is illuminated by the seventh sun.(13) Seven solar ages are referred to in Mayan manuscripts, in Buddhist sacred books, in the books of the Sibyl. In all quoted sources the "suns" are explained (by the sources themselves) as signifying consecutive epochs, each of which went down in a great, general destruction. Did the reason for the substitution of the word "sun" for "epoch" ...

The Mayan sacred book Popol-Vuh says that the god "rolled mountains" and "removed mountains," and "great and small mountains moved and shaked." Mountains swelled with lava. Coniraya-Viracocha, the god of the Incas, raised mountains from the flat land and flattened other mountains.(14) And similarly, "When Israel went out ...

... sun set in the east." Ovid describes this phenomenon of the days of the Argive tyrants: Phoebus broke off "in mid-career, and wresting his car about turned round his steeds to face the dawn."11 Also in Tristia Ovid refers to this literary tradition12 about "the horses of the sun turning aside."13 A Mayan inscription says that a planet brushed close to the earth.14 Three solar mansions of the Chinese must have been equal to ten degrees on the dial at the palace in Jerusalem.

... of the monster and inexplicably, for most explanations of myth, emerging bald, as well as enfeebled or sometimes in his death throes. Jonah and the whale is a biblical example. A drastic change of size is an essential element in the story, with the shape-shifting hero able to enter or exit the monster in a dwarf-like form. Mayan myth has stories of a dragon slaying dwarf; Precolumbian American mythology has a club-wielding red dwarf who resides on the world mountain under the primal sun; Hanuman of India and even the Egyptian Bes all have the characteristics of the shrunken hero god. The birth of the hero can be seen as another version of the same event, with ...
