... era of the Mayas was `established' in the year 3373 BC. Their calculations went by `heptads of baktuns' of 2,760 years. If we now compare the two systems we find that: 3102 BC. minus 3 Hindu lunisolar cycles of 2,850 years each = 11,652 BC 3373 BC. minus 3 Mayan heptads of baktuns of 2,760 years = 11,653 BC (The difference of `one year' is only apparent, and due to the fact that the two chronological systems did not start on the same day.) The difference between the Egyptian-Assyrian and the Hindu-Mayan figures is 110 years, or, with reference to the ...

43. On Comets and Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... In Mesoamerica, for example, the heliacal rise of Venus was said to portend the death of kings. B. C. Brundage expressed his surprise at this puzzling aspect of Venusian lore: "It is curious that the Mesoamerican peoples thought of the Morning Star so consistently as malign. He was to them, whether they were Aztecs or Mayans, the very father of calamity. The dates of his heliacal rising were forecast so that the dooms ahead could be adequately read and prepared forSignificantly, his malice could also be directed at rulers, for if he arose in the trecana opened by one-reed, then great lords sickened and died." (45) The same motive is ...

45. Quartered At Yale. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... , where tradition has the sun remaining above the horizon. Nothing of this was questioned by Latourette. What did he disprove or expose? George Kubler, professor of the history of art at Yale and a student of Mesoamerican civilization, brought the following issues to the discussion. First, he wondered that I interpreted the fifty-two-year cycle of the Mayan and the Mexican Indians "as an historical survival of the terrors experienced between the two contacts' of the Venus-comet with the earth." I have not concealed my sources. Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxochitl, the early Mexican scholar (c . 1568-1648) who was able to read old Mexican texts, preserved the ancient tradition according to which ...

... first time in any British scientific work. Dr MacKie is making a single-handed attempt to steer contemporary archaeology on to a new course, and a course more favourably set towards the news of Dr Velikovsky than the present one. This reviewer wishes him success. Uneven dates In the course of his book Dr MacKie uses a fruitful analogy with the Mayan ceremonial centres and their astronomer-priests. In the 1950's, Velikovsky was attacked for using the Meso-American cosmology as evidence for his theories, on the grounds that it was far too recent in origin. Since that time, the dates for the formative phases of the Mayan civilisation have been pushed further and further back, and I would like to ...
47. On The Other Side of the Ocean, Part 1 Venus Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Eisler, "Joshua and the Sun," American journal of Semitic Languages and Literature, XLII (1926), 83: "It would have had no sense early in the morning of a battle, with a whole day ahead, to have prayed for the lengthening of the sunlight even into the night time." 2. The Mayan tongue is still spoken by about 300,000 people, but of the Mayan hieroglyphics only the characters employed in the calendar are known for certain. 3. Known also as Codex Chimalpopoca. "This manuscript contains a series of annals of very ancient date, many of which go back to more than a thousand years before the Christian ...
48. Worzel's Deep-Sea Ash is Volcanic [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... .Soc.Am.Bull. 81: 2137. Next Question The Tierra Blanca ash deposit of El Salvador "has been attributed to at least three separate volcanoes, but recent work by a team of German geologists indicates that the source was the caldera of Volcan Ilopango." (Trotter R.J ., 1977: Unravelling a Mayan Mystery. Sci.News Ill: 74-78). Trotter relates how Payson Sheets (Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado, Boulder) describes, in a report to the National Science Foundation, the effects on ecology and culture of the volcanic explosion which was dated at sometime during the first three centuries of the Christian era. Sheets ...

... might be found in the time warp' he says I'm caught in. At the close, Palmer calls for more rational arguments' for catastrophist views. I myself would appeal for more rational reviews' of catastrophists' works - preferably more objective, accurate and sans the sarcasm.. James E. Strickling, Duluth, GA, USA Mayan Calendar of 365 Days As expected, Michael G. Reade questions my theory that the Maya left evidence of a year of 365 days (C &CR 1996:2 , p. 59). When I saw him drive through the gate at Braziers I knew that if my theory had a fault he would find it. I ...
50. The Enclosed Sun-Cross [Books]
... central or stationary god. (That is, the winds are just the opposite of the incongruous abstractions to which they have been reduced by so many mythologists.) The four winds are the "breath" of the sun-god (as in ancient Egypt), bearing the seed of life from the centre to the four corners. Thus the Mayan Ik means at once "wind," "breath," and "life." Like the Egyptian streams of sat it is "the causer of germination." (42) In Mexico, Quetzalcoatl, god of the Four Motions," was represented by the sun-cross, and this symbol explains his title, "Lord of ...
