Hey, that stone calendar at the top of the linked page--where is that from? I've seen it refered to as an Aztec calendar and as a Mayan calendar in different places. I'm especially interested because I bought a trinket for half a dollar at a nearby church rummage a year or two ago, and it turned out to be a fine detailed rendering of that calendar done by Mexican artisans in solid silver with rose gold detail. You can see the guys at the bottom with the 'beards' and everything. Now whenever I see that calendar I notice it. It turns up a lot of places.

Rbatham,
Cheers , bonfire night here, forget the date, that doesn't matter?
I really liked the bit "are dragons real."
the dragon or serpant is said to have controlled the tides and the seas etc, it does.
The dragon is aether, it is affected by alignments, if a shortage of aether inflows , then starvation and plague will hit the planet, if an upsurge occurs then gravity will rock the place, and the ice will melt, fast, the oceans will rise and only those quick enough or forwarned enough will survive.
We are in denial, or litterally in the nile.
There must be some form of over-ride that blocks off reality, all the evidence is as clear as the nose on your face, but they still squeel idiot.
A global catastrophe is imminent, and the alignment of certain celestial bodies will bring it about, what go's around comes around, maybe a little faster each time?
The Mayan culture couldn't know the full cycle of their counter, therefore they didn't forsee intermediate happenings, this probably coincides with our dark ages?
Whats the moon like down there?
Its really big and low here, this is leading to high pressure and very cold nights, the air is thick with smoke, and my dogs are terrified of the loud bangs, fear of the unknown is a strange thing, it causes amnesia, expect the unexpected.

This thread has got me reading up about the Maya.
Just read about lord pacal who is said to have died in ad 683, in the pyramid where he was found, around the walls are nine stuccoed figures.
There are nine gods in ancient Egypt, from the one god Ra, or Re.
This is in palenque, the nine lords of the night of maya theology?

Interesting point Kevin. I shall have to see what I can find out. I would presume that these nine stuccoed figures were gods? I wonder if they represented the same meanings as the nine Egyptian gods?
I know that the Mayan sun god was called Ahau Kin and a maize god was called Ah Mun. But as they had at least 166 deities.....!
Have you got any more info on who these 9 figures were? Mithra.

Yes, sorry Roy.....that's what happens when I read through the postings without taking adequate notes on what's been said! Always difficult to catch-up properly after a break. I'll endeavour to do better! Mithra

Think you mean the other way round....'Aztec occupation of Mayan sites'? More than likely as the Mayan Empire had folded some 400 years previously.
Presumably the Olmec site at La Venta was subsequently used by others?
The Pyramid at Chichen Itza, in the Yucatan, is supposedly Toltec-Maya.....which is a long way from the principal Toltec centre of Tula.
Sorry Roy forgot to note which temple you mentioned where the number 13 figured in it's construction. The Mayan myth mentioned might have significance here - temple dedicated to the Moon perhaps?
I like eclipse ideas, do you know if any temples were built by the Mayans or Aztecs close to eclipse dates? Mithra.

Sory mithra. sometimes I don't express myself properly. What I meant was that evidence of Mayan occupation is found at the pyramids attributed to the later Aztecs. I didn't mention any temple where 13 was found. I referred to a web site that I googled (can't remember which). where the calendar dates were written as 13.13.13.1 or other combinations of 13. 4 figures were used to give a date. Roy
