Aztec Calendar or The Maya Popol Vuh Story On Stone?

Aztec Calendar Stone
or
Maya Story of the Popol Vuh?
by D.M. Urquidi

I can just hear the reaction to that statement:

”. . .Or is it the Maya Popol Vuh Story on the Stone?”

“Utter Nonsense. The Aztecs are a tribe very

different from the Maya.”

Yet,. all the Codices of Mesoamerica, emphasis the comet and the great damage it did to, not only
to the land, but also to the people who had lived in small well-run communities.

There are not many codices that survived Diego de Landa’s book burnings in the Yucatan.
It is the oldest Summary of the Ramirez Codex which not only gav.e the coefficients of the
Aztec Calendar Stone: it also identified the two sections of the Milky Way in Note 21. The
author was J. Henry Phillips (1886).

He gave details about the origins of the first gods and how two of them helped the sun
to shine bright and clear in the sky. The sun had just been a pale

glimmer in heaven. After the sun became very bright, the coefficients were decided upon.
Note 21 gave the two new trees of the Milk Way their names: The first which contained the
Northern Cross and the RIng Nebula was called the Tree of The Beautiful Rose. The other
half near Orion and Ophiuchus was named the Tree of the Warrior.

The Borgia was obtained for the Borgia Pope in Rome, but almost burned by children who
visited him in the Vatican. The Borgia Pope died alone in his bed. The description of his
death indicated that he had been poisoned. The reason was hehad signed the lands of
gold {Peruand Mesoamerica) to Spain; only the jungles of Brazil and the Amazon River to
Portugal. Either someone was very angry with the decision or wanted to make sure the
decision was never to be changed.

The Borgia Codex contained the thirteen weeks of the Trecena but with the top and bottom
borders (If they are counted as our Saturday and Sundays) create 364 days for the year.
the 365th day was aided by little feet, that is seldom discussed in clases for those who
are only curious. Questions about the footsteps are just ignored as decorative elements
for the passages.of days. The rest of the Borgia shows the horrible pagan gods of the
Mesoamericans.

However, the Borgia does include gods who guard four trees of the four quarters of  
the world, in spite of the fact that most codices only indicate a tree broken in half.
It must mean that the Borgia Codex was redesigned in Rome.

The Zouche-Nuttal is separated by red lines which cut off different phases of Mixtec
history on the western coast of Mesoamerica. The first part of the Creation story so
appearrs to have been done during post-conquest days; mostly because the first god
on the first page steps out of the waters before the dry earth was created included the
cog-wheel in a stylized version of those who created a cog-wheel for the twenty days of
the month and another for the Trecena count.

On the other hand, the Marid Codex was patched from two different segments. The first
was thought to have been the original Madrid and the second half, called the Troana,
was “maybe” part of the first at one time.  

This Codex seems to have the dates of the event within the Serpent  Calendar M-12 to M-18
as it occurred. The Troana segment gave the Maya details of the story as they were
described the Serpent calendar in two different books of the Popol Vuh,  And it continues
until the carvings of the Wooden Manikins. It begins with two glyphs (thought to be
two zeros) on the badly damaged M-112. All the human figures of the Troana walk
towards the previous pages.

The Serpents in the  Horizontal Trecena flip from facing left to facing right and back
again. there are also twisted locations for individual glyphs of the Serpent Calendar.
The Madrid, sems to have inserted the “Rocking back and forth of the earth” from
Roy’s “The Maya of the Chumayel” Or else he read the Hopi’s ninth prophecy with
the same implication; the Earth really, at some point in ancient history, actually
rocked on a day/night spin. Why? How? No one knows for  sure; except the
astronomers; who realized the year was longer by 5.25 Days or 1.015 hours per
its day/night spin, still while earth remained on its 360 orbit around the sun.

One must not forget Rome who decidedthat the Serpent Ccalendar had to begin
with One-IMIX, not One-IK in the yearv1584 for Mesoamericans. Recorded in the
“Book of the Year” by several different native historians. With One Imix,the Horizontal
trecenaa willnot mesh with the Vertical.Trecenta. One must use One IK as the starting
point. To ensure one does npt use ONE IMIX, there is a double KIMI at the 46 and 47th
columns. to warn you that it must be started with One IK

In short, this summary of missed details is contrary to what we all have learned in
classes about Mesoamerica. There is one detail, no one has ever noticed: INAH
stated in their explanation and short history of the stone in English and Spanish,
that the Aztec calendar was located in the southeast corner of the main Plaza in
Mexico City. I had presented the fact as true.

Later I reviewed the colored pictures I had used, and discovered that the researcher
noted “en 1790, elle fut deplacee portee a la Tour Occidentale…” Hey, Occidentale is
translated as WEST even though I left out the accent marks, it did not change the
translation from French to English and it was the “13a edition, [in] 1996.”  The writer
at least got the colors correct.

Even so, it indicates a secondary error; that of 1532  and 1538 maps of Lake Texcoco
which are both literally upside-down and flipped east to west. No one seems to want
to translate Italian found on the 1938 map either.  Nor are they able to identify the
headless statue with the sun behnd it, found in the main plaza.

The "Hand oif God" or The Blue God[dess] of the Moon

By D. M. Urquidi 2019

 NASA’s  “Hand of God” 

Greenwich Observatory 

             via Harvard University               

Astronomy is a fairly new discipline, although it had been studied by kingdoms, and official observatories for eons. The biggest telescopes have only been designed recently. Not until the epoch called the “Dark Ages” when the Inquisition of the Church decided astrologers and chemists were agents of the devil, did astronomy become an acceptable discipline.
        
 In 1516, Pope Paul VI decided all names for the stars and planets should be  replaced by Angels, Prophets, Apostles. The “Lady of the Blue Star” had to be replaced by Mary, the Mother of God whom he honored with the name  “The Immaculate Conception.”           
The problem encountered by the Pope was the fact that every religion in the world, no matter how primitive, or isolated they were, for example, Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Their main goddess was a blue star. This Blue Star entity was the Mother/ Creator of all children. (Melville) Yet, she was a virgin goddess. And the Blue Star [at first called an extra Bright Moon to be honored as sent by God] was her origin. (In  Apollona of Tyana).         

 When I went to Hawaii in 2003, the Conference I attended sponsored Luau. Several hula dancers performed at the end of the barbecue. The first dancer was dressed in a white sparkling top and skirt. A tall white feathered headdress firmly secured to her head. Her dance started normally, not too interesting since I could never do a hula.         

 After a short hula display, she began to sign water travel with her hands. Suddenly, the light over her headdress changed to a blue sheen and it remained there for the rest of the dance. I was in shock.        

  I had bought a book a long time ago, Leani Melville's called “The Children of the Rainbow.”  The Goddess of the Blue Star was called  URI. She was the goddess in the upper half of the Northern Cross, commonly known as Cygnus. When the missionaries came to the Islands, they changed three letters of the alphabet, T= K; W=V; R=L. They were positive that the natives were children of the Devil. ULI became an evil sorceress.      

 In the Greek Orthodox Church of Russia, the Black Virgin was the Mother of Christ. Many Russian male children are still called Yuri or Yori.  Was she re-painted in black robes so she would not be destroyed by church oppression?   

Later, in eighth century AD, Charles the Great was brought up witth the doctrines of the Byzantine Orthodox Church which was located all throughout Europe and the Islands of the North. When he became Emperor, one of the decisions he made was to change the name and language of his version of Church to the “Western Roman Empire.”            

 He ordered coins struck at Aix.where he built his new church he dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who garters were placed in a reliquary enshrined on the altar. Charles then ordered new coins inscribed with his new titles, “Carlos Imperator.” “Renovator of the Roman Empire” and “Christian Religion.”              

The image of Mary, the Blue Star of the Mar (sea [or the Blue sky]) was and still is strong in the Roman Church. Pope Paul VI decided that there was was enough of paganism in the Church; yet, he felt the Blue Star was too prominent in the minds of the people. In 1516, he had his priests collect information from all the religions of the world wherever there was a God, who had a ”virgin mother,” associated with a blue star.
              
Now, this Chart exists in a manuscript called “Virga Aurae.”  (Ts Copywrite version is available on the web.) The chart contains 72 religions. One does not attempt to destroy 72 religions. The Pope decided it was only necessary to create a more sacred version of the Virgin. Instead of fighting paganism, he decided to join them with a very important Papal Bull confirming the Virgin Mother of Christ was to be identified in the  church doctrine. She was herewith to bear the title of the ”Immaculate Conception.“

 In Mexico she stands on a black Crescent Moon. This indicates her volcanic origin; because the following monument has been renamed Coyolxauhqui/Tlaltecuhtli, it is quite possible this icon was not meant to be the Moon Reflected in the Lake called Texcoco. Another more recent study [infers] Coyolxauhqui may instead be, the goddess of the Milky Way.” [Miller, M. and Taube, K. (1993. 68)]   

The Moon Goddess Two goddesses have acquired a similar myth. First, Tlaltecuhtli, the male Earth lord was also a female goddess with the same name who was born in a burning tree.  (The Milky Way) She became the mythological Mixtec goddess painted blue, who was the source of heavenly power and approved for the dynasty of Apuala and Tilontango. [

Bodley Codex, Lamina 1-1] Her counterpart from the Aztec world named, Coyolxauhqui, had the same star myth as that of Tlaltecuhtli. The first pair were decapitated with one direct “shear thrust” between two volcanoes  Popocatepetl and Iztacihuatl, the white snow covered goddess.

 The latter is part of the Milky Way as the Summer Triangle whose main star; NASA’s “Hand of God” near Vega, is in a similar triangle constellation, called the Compass near Chile. It is the same constellation but due to the shifting view of northern stars seen below the Equator the name changed to Compass.  This iis a theory
 that coulld be tackled by an Atroomer who is interested in  the Mesoamerican  cultures.

In Peru our Summer Triangle has Vega as its apex instead of Deneb. (Baur & Dearborn 1995, 106) due to the 23.5 degree twisting spin which caused us to view the Mlky Way as a “broken tree.” in Mesoamerican mythology.

The “Hand of God“ is a Nebula, also called the Ring Nebula, seen as part of the Tree (Milky Way) of the Beautiful Rose (Phillips,1883, Note 21)

The exception was that Coyolxauhqui was not born in a burning tree. Instead she was the meteorite star-sister of Blue Hummingbird of the South, Huitzilopochtli. When she found her mother, Coatlicue, was pregnant as an earth goddess who had no husband, it was her sole desire to destroy her mother for her indiscretion. So Coyolxauhqui (shown above with a knife in her mouth) and her brothers, the Centzon Huitznahua [the stars of the Via Lacta: the Milky Way] attacked her mother.

Miller and Taube continued their narrative

“...Coyolxauhqui “might be the Moon Goddess was already an established conclusion in other publications (1978, XI, 96) in Newsweek.”

Nevertheless, both Coyolxauhqui and Tlaltecuhtli had a similar story. The Moon and Coatlicue, were joined into one disaster; but the other myth contained both Coyolxauhqui and Tlaltecuhtli booth of whom had been dismembered and thrown down to earth. Their bodies were not torn apart; instead fell as smaller meteorites to earth.

.

There was a clear distinction between Aztec Coatlicui, the center of the earth with Mitztl, the Aztec Moon goddess. The other two were the Mixtec Coyolxauhqui and the Aztec Tlaltecuhtli. The first pair were parted with one direct “shear thrust” that split the land from the Puerto Rican Trench all the way across Mexico through two previously mentioned volcanoes to Baja California.

The latter is part if the Milky Way as the Summer Triangle whose main star; NASA’s Hand of God near Vega, is in a similar triangle constellation, called the Compass near Chile.

I discovered, due to the shifting view of northern stars seen below the Equator. In Peru, our Summer Triangle has Vega as its apex instead of Deneb. (Baur & Dearborn 1995, 106) It is possible, therefore, that Coimpass may be the same constellation called the Summer Triangle found further Niorth in Mexico.

The second pair of moon goddesses were torn apart, head, torso, arms and legs; all pieces thrown down to earth, but only Coyolxauhqui had the Centzon Huitznahua come down to commiserate for her bad luck in the battle against her parent Coatlicue, who she had accused of illicit behavior.

Because of the disparity between the two pairs of goddesses, there is no doubt that Miztzli was, and is, the original name of the “forgotten” Moon.

                    

B with Tears of Gold from the Eyes

Vaillant G, (1941,  pl. 56).]

                  

    This image of an Olmec helmeted goddess with the same rounded dimensions, has three glyphs under each eye. The glyph to each eye have a “cross with four even arms and in each of four spaces there is a circle. The middle glyph is partially obscured, It may be seen clearer in the second [b] view of Metztli was the name identified by George Vaillant in 1941. Yet, this monumental head, created in the style of boulder-sized heads, wears the same type banded helmet as the Olmec heads without glyphs for identification.

The moon’s first view appears to be a museum copy [Fig: a]. On the other hand, Fig: b  has all the attributes of the Olmec boulder heads. Glyphs flowing with tears directly under her eyes appear to be the same as the single tear flowing from. However, a closer examination of Coyolxauhqui shows that the tears flow from the end of a rod, marked with squares as if to measure distance.

When the meteoritic stones plunged in the Atlantic Ocean, they created a “sheer thrust” across the Gulf of Mexico as far as the San Andreas fault line in the Gulf of Baja California.

As a result, the volcanic mountain range in central Mexico rose into the sky. In this way the body of the land south of the mountains was separated from Lake Texcoco contained within the caldera of the volcano Popocatepetl.

    Because of the extra height of the mountain range, the Full Moon would obliterate the stars reflected in the lake when it was in the sky. There the Moon would reflect itself in the waters of the whole lake.

Miztztli, after her body was removed from her head, the tears from her eyes were released into the Balsas River o the Pacific Ocean and through the Papaloapan River to the Atlantic Ocean. The view of the two ear plugs, end as a knife, while her slightly extended tongue clearly is another knife blade, just as Coatlicue who has one in her mouth. Both of these goddesses had their body removed by the barranca. However, the lower Balsas Valley did not get chopped into pieces.It was only a geological “sheer thrust,” a clean cut asm a barranca between the volcanoes.

Before 1941, Metztli, the Goddess, Keeper of the Moon, the night, and the farmers, was buried together with the Sun Stone at the southeast corner of the National Palace at the Parque Tezozomoc. Her name here in a schema by the reconstruction archaeologists in the Scientific American magazine, dated August, 1984 shows Coatlicue buried next to the stone of the Sun even though both the names: the Sun Stone and Metztli. as the moon, were used, and stated previously, by George Vailant in 1941. He did admit the Sun Stone, even with all the day names on it, constituted a useable calendar system. He was only recording what was on the stone.

By 1978, Metztli, the moon, postulated it was Coatlicue who was buried next to the Sun Stone. And again, in 1984,.she was again renamed as Coyolxauhqui, the sister of Huitzilopochtli even though her location was on the northeast corner in the Great Temple. (1984,85)

The name of Coatlicue got lost in the shuffle as the central iconic image on the Sun Stone. Even so, she was carved as a huge full figure female with two serpents facing each other as her head; which confirmed her origin with the Sun Stone., As its main central head with a knife in her mouth surrounded by the two serpents at the edge of the Sun Stone

The area below the volcanoes, the Balsas Valley, changed to a different temperature zone ranging from 12.5 to 28 Centigrade.It became the valley where “primavera nunca muere.” [Spring never dies.] The other river of tears of Miztzli, the moon goddess, where once men could also pan for gold, was the Papaloapan River which empties into the Gulf of Mexico.

Conclusion

Tlaltecuhtli is part of the Milky Way as the Summer Triangle whose main star; NASA’s “Hand of God” near Vega, in a similar triangle constellation, called the Compass near Chile due to the shifting view of northern stars seen below the Equator where in Peru, our Summer Triangle has Vega as its apex instead of Deneb  And because of our 23.5 degree spin, both north and south of the equator, one can discover changes in the direction of constelllations ommonly observed in the sky.
