The Greatest Myth of All
A heat wave in modern times is recorded with thermometers and Doppler
images on the television screens. Amimals or children left in automobiles are the
victims of such "extreme" temperatures. If the heat is too intense in the cities,
the elderly, who do not usually have air conditioners and make do with floor or
window fans, also succumb to the heat.
It is a time when swimming at the beach, or poolside is thought to cool
one's body. However, the sun can burn even more near the water so that before
the Ph sunscreens, many suffered even more pain and discomfort with sunburn and
blisters after they arrived home from their "refreshing" dip in the ocean, creek,
or pool.
Even before our era, people noticed extreme heat waves. Their descriptions
of this type of event was recorded many times over the centuries. Some
researchers thought the descriptions were no more than primitive tales to
entertain during long evenings by the campfires. Others, saw that it was only
the hellish part of old religions having nothing to do with reality.
Descriptions written into ancient manuscripts were considered to be too
primitive to be taken seriously and became mythological concepts created to create
fear, as when they were included in religious texts, or to entertain, as in the
Iliad of Homer. As a result, there are many physical attributes of land,
sky, and sea identified as "gods" and "goddesses" for want of better names,
because the writers in acient times could not have possibly known about
earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes or tornadoes.
Who do we think we are kidding? The people who could write were
educated in schools, traveled over land and sea, and even took a flight or two
on gliders. Hot air balloons many not have been an option, but a man gliding
across the skies are described as early as Homer.1 (Lord Nacxit
2 probably is the Maya version of Homer's Nausithose.)
Homer's shield-shaped island, Scheria, is described as ", . . then do thou
turn her to stone, hard by the land - a stone in the shape of a swift ship
that all men may marvel and do thou fling a great mountain about their city."3
An island described as a shield enclosed by a great mountain could never have
been "seen" by a person traveling on the sea.
Education in the schools may not have been very detailed, but the men
that traveled made exactly the same type of observations that modern researchers
have made today. Even their vocabulary is similar, except that many times, one
cannot properly translate the words that were written because there are no
grammars or lesson books for that language any more.
Young Ph.D. students, wanting to make their mark in the scholarly
world, will "translate" a written language, but creating a scenario in their
minds, the more salacious, the more readily accepted by the public. One
researcher actually took a modern poem from a little-studied language and
transformed it into the Inanna wedding of Sumer literature.
And so it was with Uxmal. Symbols of the "phallus" are found throughout
the 33 foot wide "Temple of the Phallli," about a quarter of a mile south of
the House of the Old Woman. Some of these images are even thought to have been
used as gargoyles to divert rainwater from the roof.4
It was considered a bit strange to have so many phalli located
in one Maya site, because as stated in the 1978 tourist guide ". . . it is
very rare in Maya art."
At that time, there was no indication that the phallus,
or penis would become so popular a subject in the Maya glyphs.
Once the well-made "phalli" were described, no one even remembers that
the eyes of each Chac on the corners of the other temples contain storm glyphs.
Nor do they remember the strange little building within a pyramid called the
"Palace of the Governor" that has a roof of feathers.
INAH specifically stated the following about the Palace of the Governer;
p.35 In the Uxmal Official Guide (by INAH) (1978) it was written
that "the large hut cowled with a striking feather roof, of which the pieces
have been found." is part of the "Palace of the Governor"
However, the picture at this URL
http://www.mayaruins.com/uxmal/m3_095.html,
although it appears to be the same as the original sketch of the Palace.
the "hut" has apprently been rebuilt as a separate building along side of the
Nunnery Quadrangle. The original drawing shows nine rows of feahered tiles in the roof,
but the newer rebuilt version shows only seven rows of tiles with birds added here and there.
The stela seen below (one of 15 stealae that were 10 foot tall to five feet tall)
also shows a strong design of a feathered roof with strange events roiling around
the main personage.
I also (by finally checking the book again), found that the feather/fire symbolism
has a direct connection to Teotihucan via the feathered serpents (p. 30) (avian
to be sure) and "the masks of Chac, the rain god of the Mayas shaped very
similarly to Tlaloc of the Aztecs"
even to the A-O symbols over its head.
The fire image is strong enough to have been part of the Phalli,
not as phalli, but as moving pieces of flaming stone speeding through the air
with a long (serpent) tail of feathers (fire). re-carved as, or even more simply,
to indicate the phalli of the sky demons. The birds on the roof of the current
picture could well be smaller elements (probably tektites) of the same fire balls.
The symbols fit a meteorite shower, seen in the sky. So Chac/Tlaloc should be
the fire storm god as noted for the tale attributed to him on the
Aztec Sun Stone, not originally a rain storm god but instead a fire storm entity.
Most do not want to be bothered with the many "feathered serpents" because
they do not seem to apply to the cultural background of the area.
Even the ball court rings found on the two walls. No one questions the two dates,
one on each ring with only one day's difference, since there is no way to
decipher the rest of the date because these pieces were "in an advanced state
of destruction."5
Feathers of any kind, whether they be found on the serpents in the ball
court, or on the roof within the pyramid in the Palace of the Governor, were
only thought to be decorative additions to the walls. But the Maya do not just
decorate, they, like other areas of the mesoamerican world, fill their images
with as many clues to important events as they can.
In the Aztec area, such feathers were known to be symbols of fire.
And even when a huge Chac mask
is decorated with three Aztec "year" signs around its head,
there is no memory of such a symbolism for the Maya, even though the year
signs and mask attributes were identified as similar to "the Mexican Tlaloc."6
With jagged lightning bolts in the four corners of the mask, this is no
ordinary Chac. The only thing in the "Mexican area" that it can be equated with
is the Tlaloc description on the huge Calendar Stone of the Aztecs. Tlaloc of the
calendar stone is not a "god of rain" but a god of a special storm in the sky:
a wind storm of fire. It is the female aspect of Tlaloc that brought the cooling
waters. Even this matches the male/female concept of the human element. The sex drive
of men are of "fire" and the female sex drive is the "cooling element".
But even the water/coolant was not a portend of anything good since it flooded the land.
Leon-Portilla deciphered the texts in the early days, but no one even
notices that the first sun was a "sun that was too close" to the earth? Does
anyone believe that the sun could come "too close to the earth"?
But if it had been a comet from the direction of a blazing nova, identified as
the Ring Nebula in the constellation Lyra by the Greenwich Observatory in England (11/7/2007)
a comet that entered our atmosphere and blazed out of our control. . . described
by all religions, even the Bible,. . . would they believe it then?
-676 sun too close
-364 wind - monkeymen
-312 fires - Son of Apollo lost control of the Sun Chariot
-676 water - Moses concept 7
The next two "suns" brought wind and fire, but strangely enough, the two
time elements (364 and 312) actually equals the first and the last time elements
of 676 years. So instead of four suns, were there actually only three. Or else,
the story of the four suns is so special that the text is no longer an accurate
time schedule, but instead a code or cipher that tells us that the date of the
event was 676 AD,and whose true name may have been The Fourth Sun.
In a state of oppression by the Spanish Conquistadores and in the
presence of the Church Inquisition, a need to "hide" information would be
indicated. By splitting up the numbers into two uneven segments, few readers
would waste time adding them together or even notice that they equaled the first
and the last segments of the four suns.
And in the meantime, since there are so many phalli in the one
temple at Uxmal, then one must investigate the weird sexual habits of the ancient
native population. But what if the "phalli" were part of the Greek sky observation?
They saw that Zeus emasculated his father Kronos. They saw a bloody phallic
image falling from where the two gods resided in the sky.
Images that are easier to comprehend as the castration of a god could
also be a hugely different streaming red comet or meteorite as it entered our
atmosphere not iridescent blue and green, but bright brilliant red, that
eventually fell into the sea. Smaller ones could be images of meteorites as
they fell into the gulf. The Doppler effect, used extensively in modern astronomy
to explain both sound and motion, would indicate that a blue or greenish comet would
appear to be standing still, but one seen as a red color, would not only be entering our
atmosphere, but orbiting (like the sun) nearer than any comet or meteor that
ever came near the earth.
As it was, all ancient religions and myths take up the same story
and indicate that there was a very strong, lasting heat wave that destroyed
not only the vegetation, but also the people. Athens Greece, claimed that the
frogs of the marshlands came into the city in great numbers, while the people,
threw themselves into the wells in order to cool themselves off. In Chamula, the
women continued to make chicha for the "gods" creating the great heat. But shortly
the roofs of "paja" began to burn. Many ran up the mountain to the caves.
In Peru, also, the people fled undergraound. Great burning
lumps of substance, as large as elephants, fell to the earth according to India,
while China told of their hero, I Hou, who shot down eight of the nine suns that
were threatening our world. They also confirmed that a great bird with red claws
was attempting to fill the ocean with pebbles.
So with an edifice, once within a pyramid having a feather roof, we can then
look at a nearby stela, one of 15 flat stones with carved images.
The one described in the text is noted as Figure 24, but the description fits
Figure 22 shown here. The central figure wears sky bands on his skirt and the
roof over his head (not his headdress) is full of feathers. He stands on
a spotted animal with a feather (fire) tail. If the spotted animal is a crude
version of the (later) jaguar of the night sky, then it would explain why the
roof of this structure in the pyramid is feathered and why this iconography
contains feathers (fire) in the skies with a "god" at the upper right side
blowing into a conch shell horn, reminescent of the strange sonic boom as the
comet/meteorite entered the atmosphere.
It makes a lot more sense when you also consider the Courtyard
of the Cemetery some 660 feet west of the Ball Court. Four small altars at the foot
of the pyramid there are decorated with motifs associated with death, such as
skulls and cross-bones and it is to such macabre motifs that the group
in the Courtyard owes its name.
The panel above has three glyphs on the side. The first is the sky band,
the second the "Blind" god (probably the constellation Ophiuchus. See
The Radish and
the third, a hand throwing out the "bone of death" The central figure is a
primitive bearded Tlaloc-type dragon within the burning waters.
The three glyphs on the side of the panel below, I cannot
"read" however, the central figure is the quetzal bird having one hand as
a talon or claw, without a beard within the same roiling waters.
The two panels seem to be a pre-curser to the Temple of Quetzalcoatl in
Teotihuacán, with the bird image at the head of the serpent that is
coiled through the water and ends with the Tlaloc head at the tail filled
with the rattles of a rattlesnake, again indicating the noise made by the
comet/meteor that entered our atmosphere.
Hence, death through the agency of Tlaloc and his fire rain,
not the life produced by penises is the main theme of Uxmal. A comet or
meteorite with a fiery tail, recarved at the top end as a penis, was
only to be noticed by those researchers interested in such things. Such
misconceptions would ensure that these items are not lost. Those who
knew about the comet/meteorite would be able to pass on such information
to their children and grandchildren, without any loss of symbolism.
The Aztecs have the history of the "Birth of the Fifth Sun" to help
them recall their history. The Maya have their glyphic histories and the Popol
Vuh. That is enough. Foreigners can call the event a myth or a religion,
it does not matter which as long as the information is safe.
