... shook out her long hair she scattered the dew upon the earth." (14) The point to be underscored is that Forrest's "explanation" of the Aztec Venus/ "smoking star" identification fails to acknowledge converging lines of evidence. Aztec comet as "smoking star," Aztec Venus as "smoking star," Aztec and Mayan "long-haired star" as comet; Cuicatec Venus as "hairy star," Incan Venus as "long-haired star." Hence, the methodological issue is placed in sharp relief. There is another way of looking at the issue logically. Around the world there are only a small number of pre-astronomical terms or glyphs for "comet. ...

62. Cuban Prehistory [Journals] [Kronos]
... Jack W. Pockman.) The prehistory of Cuba is shrouded in mystery. Unlike the great cosmological civilizations, of what the first Iberian conquerors and explorers called Tierra Firme, the Indian peoples of Cuba and adjacent islands of the Caribbean left no vast monumental ritual and urban centers, nor did they possess any system of inscriptions such as the Mayan glyphs that still tantalize scholars, ranging from classical archaeology to computational cryptology. Strangely, in view of the proximity of Cuba's westernmost extension to the Yucatan peninsula, there is not the slightest evidence of any contact between the Maya and the Cuban aborigines. Nor, are their traditions, legends, and myths available to us. As peoples ...

Scholars of Mayan calendrics use the Yucatec day-names and often refer to the 260-day cycle as the Tzolkin. The Nahuatal-speaking Aztecs called it the Tonalpohualli. Why the 260-day cycle? The factors four and five in the count of 20, along with the count of 13 are fundamental throughout planetary astronomy and calendrics. In round numbers, for eight revolutions of the ...

... to have occurred between A.D . 1111 and 1345. (40) How can legends relating to this movement possibly provide information about a cataclysm that supposedly took place more than 1,700 years earlier, in 687 B.C .? Velikovsky doesn't say. Questions of applicability also surround Velikovsky's use of the Popul Vuh and other Mayan manuscripts. These accounts of Mayan mythology and history were only written down following the Spanish conquest of Yucatan in the sixteenth century A.D ., many centuries after the end of the most flourishing period of Maya culture, the era between c. A.D . 300 and 900. (41) They represent a late stage ...

... Consequently, he called his rebuttal "Disciplines in Collision." He wrote: "Science is not mere common sense. It is a severe and powerful way of thinking. Velikovsky inclines to appeal every judgment of scientists and engineers to ancient authorities and texts." But "Seneca knew little about torsion and moment of momentum, and extant Mayan manuscripts are notoriously weak when it comes to Young's modulus...." (Young's modulus is a coefficient of deformation in elastic bodies, as in a stretched wire or a compressed pillar). There exists a "latent opposition between persons having a humane education and those with scientific training. Worlds in Collision, whatever its faults ...

... a preview of the Velikovsky affair: Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky, an international scholar... has assembled into a monumental work evidence from all the early civilizations that in the first and second millennium before Christ tremendous terrestrial cataclysms took place. In a magnificent piece of scholarly historical research he has correlated Sumerian, Chaldean, Hindu, Chinese, Mayan, Aztec, Islandic, Egyptian and Hebrew records showing that the times of cataclysms described in all of them correspond.. . . The earth, on at least two occasions, was shaken to such an extent that the prevailing calendar was thrown out of gear on its yearly basis and by several days on isolated occasions, as well ...

Inevitable Fate of Complex Societies (New Scientist, 10.1 .04. pp. 42-45) A mathematical analysis of Mayan settlements suggests that as societies become more efficient, the pressures of progress lead to what is known as self-organised criticality'; where it will only take one minor change to lead to complete collapse. Western society be warned; it may not take anything so momentous as an asteroid impact as we may already be on the knife-edge. AD ...

Velikovsky culled his reconstruction from the Japanese, Chinese, and Hindu civilisations, the Iranian, Sumerian, Assyrian, Hitto-Chaldean, Israelite, and Egyptian records; the Etruscan, Attic, and Roman theogonies and philosophies; Scandinavian and Icelandic epics, Mayan, Toltec, and Olmec art and legends. ' (1 ) This picture he drew from them was that around 1500 BC the Earth came into disastrous conflict with the planet Venus - then on an elliptical orbit and with a tremendous cometary tail after originating by fission from Jupiter at a considerably earlier date. The phenomena caused by this ...

... present itself as a spectacular "comet"? --even the most obvious evidence will be seen as something else, as confirmation of the recklessness and confusion of myth, another reason not to take myth seriously. The question is not asked because the "Velikovskian" field of study lacks all credibility in the eyes of mainstream authorities. Thus the Mayan scholar Peter Joralemon explained the highly unnatural convergence of symbols on the celestial dragon- The primary concern of Olmec art is the representation of creatures that are biologically impossible. Such mythological beings exist in the mind of man, not in the world of nature. It's easy to see how one might draw this conclusion. But if the symbolism lacks ...

There is the general association with death, as noted by Thompson and others, but also the more specific association with the death of kings. Thus the Mayan date name of Venus, Hun Ahau was a day of "death" and "darkness." But more specifically, the same day among the Aztecs signified the death of Quetzalcoatl and the transformation of his "heart-soul" into Venus. "There seems to be no doubt that unlucky days were associated with the heliacal rise of Venus ...
