11. Venus: A Battle Star? [Journals] [Horus]
... , the old men and old women venerate each one of those signs." In 1898, Eduard Seler showed that the above was not a localized belief in Mesoamerica. He demonstrated that parallel descriptions of Venus' influence were also depicted in the Borgia, Bologna, and Vaticanus B Codices (from Central Mexico) as well as in the Mayan Dresden Codex. In other words, throughout Mesoamerica, Venus was believed to be a threat to people of all ages, their livelihood (maize), and to their rulers and warriors (young men). The threat to the rulers and warriors could include, as one option, overthrow and defeat in battle. This is reinforced ...

... soon it may find the place it deserves in scientific annals? Congratulations again. Keep up the good work. J. JOSEPHINE LEAMER Denver, Colorado New Year Resolution Sir, In SISR III:4 , p. 91, an excerpt was reprinted from Everyday Life of the Maya by Ralph Whitlock, which tells us the following about the Mayan sacred year: "The second calendar was concerned with the Tzolkin and was regarded as sacred. It consists of 20 months' of 13 days. The total of days was thus 260, a figure which bears no relationship to any natural calendar. How or why it originated is a mystery." Although the possibility that in very ...

... or mutilation,(19) a disputed sharing of the use of cylinder seals,(20) and the many similarities in the religious beliefs.(21) Jairazbhoy also suggests a Hebrew element in the purported contact, pointing to the incorporation into the Popol Vuh of the biblical creation story and flood legend, as well as to the Mayan claim that the story of the parting of the Red Sea refers to their own ancestors.(22) While admitting that the debate remains open, Soustelle rejects all such evidence as too imprecise and intuitive and calls for dealing only with incontestable facts.(23) Perhaps a consideration of the linguistic evidence can supply more tangible indications. ...

Source: Mexico's 250,000 year old Mammoth Hunters: The history of an impossible' idea, by Dr. Virginia Steen-McIntyre, 1998 Precolumbian Old World contacts?Comalcalco was a thriving Mayan sea port in a swampy region on the Mexican Gulf coast of Mexico and was probably still functioning at the time of the Spanish conquest, although declining. It has been a source of some of the wilder claims in diffusionist literature for direct contact with ancient Rome and, although many of these are unsubstantiated, it does pose archaeological problems ...

... for 13 and 18, suggesting quite a different calendar orientation. This indicates the role of number as artifact and underscores the need for prehistorians to become aware of its significance. Literally all pre-Columbian lore celebrates the number 13 - a number clearly not thought to be unlucky in early Central America. It was combined with the vigesimal 20 (the Mayans counted toes as well as fingers) to make the unusual 260-day ritual calendar. The 360-day "round yea? was reached, on the other hand, by multiplying 20 and 18. Thus both of the superfluity numbers cited by Smith, above, come into play in the Mayan system. There is always an aspect of strangeness when ...

... symbol of the source of creative force and sustenance for both the Olmec and the Maya of the Middle Preclassic period." [13] Figure 3 The celt on the right (see opposite page) has several other noteworthy features. The figure's sceptre is a snake and its legs are actually a crocodile head. We have seen examples in Mayan art where crocodile heads were found at the base of World Trees in Part I. Note also the god's prominent oval eye with dark pupil and the figures contained within the four sprouts. As the enlargement (Figure 3) clearly shows, they are obvious polar configuration-like symbols. One final Olmec artefact is the life size figure (Figure ...

In Chichen Itza (Mexico) is the temple of Kukulka, equated with Quetzalcoatl, Orion reborn as a star, Plumed Serpent and Venus. Here human sacrifice was practised in turn by the Olmecs, Mayans, Toltecs and Aztecs in order to forestall the coming of the end of the world. To predict this, they developed sophisticated maths and an accurate calendar. Cholula, another temple of Quetzalcoatl, is 3 times more massive than the Great Pyramid of Egypt. At Tres Zapotes is an Olmec/Mayan calendrical stela dated to 3rd Sept ...
