52 – Aztec Calender Stone and Calendar Wheel – OLLIN – PhaiStoS disc – OMphalos – the SwaStika as KEY

“Realizing this I perceived how, with the origin of the swastika, I had found the origin of the set of primeval ideas which had governed the human race from its infancy and which, in Mexican and Central American civilizations, ultimately developed into their ingenious system of government and social organization”

What needs to be noted is that the swastika is finally being acknowledged by the next wave of sheeple that the 2012 sheeple herders had put into motion.

And now it appears we can move forward and start to fine tune the ‘system that wants us to learn about itself’ as Itzhak Bentov suggested.

First I want to present a discussion taking place between two authors who are both providing evidence for their ‘pet’ theories.
Robert Bauvel believes that the stars found on the belt of Orion best represent the alignment of the three main pyramids on the Giza plateau while Andrew Collins is suggesting Cygnus is a better fit.

However in this discussion between Andrew Collins and Robert Bauvel I want to point out how often they both make reference to the fact that the northern sky and its immortal, imperishable, circumpolar stars were indeed held sacred by the Egyptians.

Thanks to ancient Egyptian texts, we now know the Sphinx represents Horemakhet (“Horus of the Horizon”) and is the divine personification of the rising disk of the Sun, fully poised on the eastern horizon. Intentionally aligned toward cardinal east, the Sphinx reflects the ritual significance of the cardinal directions in the Old Kingdom period (2686-2181 B.C.).

Cardinal directions originate astronomically in the daily rotation of the sky around the north celestial pole, a location of high interest to the ancient Egyptians.
The entire Giza necropolis adheres to an accurate cardinal grid.
-E.C. Krupp

It has long been accepted by Egyptologists that the imagined skyward ascent of the king’s soul was either in the north of the sky among the ‘Imperishable Stars’ or in the south of the sky amongst the stars of Orion.

This specific belief is materialized in the Great Pyramid of Giza by the so-called star-shafts emanating from the King’s Chamber, where one was targeted north to the circumpolar stars and the other targeted south to Orion.

In consideration of this, it is justified to wonder if the pyramids were not, in some symbolic way, ‘moored’ or ‘anchored’ not just to the circumpolar region of the sky in general but, more specifically, to the pole of the ecliptic, the true ‘pole’ of the sky?
-Robert Bauvel

• http://www.grahamhancock.com/forum/BauvalR2-p4.htm

In the Pyramid Texts a stellar deity is generally denoted with the ‘five-pointed star’ ideogram, as they did for the star-god Sah (Orion), Mesekhtiu (Big Dipper/Ursa Major) or Sothis (Sirius).

There were many gods and goddesses in ancient Egypt that were cosmic in character or origins and were avian deities or had avian symbolism such Re (Falcon), Horakhti (falcon), Sopdu (falcon), Montu (falcon), Sokar (falcon), Thoth (ibis), Benu (heron), Geb (goose), Gengen-Wer (goose) and Nekhbet (vulture). Also there were many others, although not avian, who were shown with large wings, such as Maat, Nut, Isis, and Nephtys.
-Robert Bauvel

Recall Ursa  Minor was also portrayed as the ‘wings’ of Draco!

The ancient Egyptians would have noted three distinct constellations within the circumpolar region, namely the Big Dipper (Ursae Major); the Small Dipper (Ursae Minor) and Draco.

 “The Antiquity of Man,” Krupp related, “Magical incantations inscribed on the interior walls of some Egyptian pyramids pinpoint the destiny of the pharaohs once buried within them. These prayers are known as the Pyramid Texts, and they tell us that the final destination of a dead king’s soul was the sky. In particular, the pharaoh flew to the circumpolar stars. Neither rising nor setting, these stars migrate around the north celestial pole without ever slipping into the underworld below the horizon. To the Egyptians they were the ‘undying’ stars, and their immortality would naturally attract a soul in search of everlasting life. In ancient Egyptian belief these stars advanced as a celestial army, parading eternally around the hub of heaven and keeping the cosmos on course with the daily rotation of the sky.”

also:

However, the sky-world was not here, in the east, but in the north, the place of absolute darkness, where the Imperishable Stars are to be found. This is stated again and again in the Pyramid Texts, and was why all major pyramids, and many mastaba tombs, were aligned north and not east.

Once again, this is a universal concept going back to very ancient shamanic traditions which influenced the spread of cosmology and religion worldwide. The transmigration of the soul was very often seen to be reflected in the passage of migratory birds north towards breeding grounds, something present, although previously unexplored, in ancient Egyptian tradition.
– Andrew Collins

***

The Egyptian ideas of the soul do not fit Cygnus at all. They fit the circumpolar constellations of 2600 BC, which were the Big Dipper, Draco and Ursa Minor. They also fit Orion. I repeat, Cygnus was not circumpolar in 2600 BC. Cygnus was circumpolar before 9000 BC. And Deneb was never a pole star. The nearest it got to the pole was some 50,000 years ago. I’m sure Collins does not want to entertain those dates.
-Robert Bauvel

***

Moreover, as Faulkner makes clear in ‘The king and the Star-religion in the Pyramid Texts, JNES 25, 1966, pp. 153-161, the principal destination of the deceased in the Pyramid Texts is the Imperishable Stars of the north, with much fewer references to Sah (your Orion) as a destination.
-Andrew Collins

ADZE

Yet in astronomical terms, Anubis is associated almost certainly with the ox thigh constellation, which is also the primary sacred adze of the sky. This is a northern constellation par excellence…
– Andrew Collins

***

A depiction of an adze was also used as a hieroglyph, representing the consonants stp, “chosen“, and used as: …Pharaoh XX, chosen of God/Goddess YY…

The ahnetjer (Manuel de Codage transliteration: aH-nTr) depicted as an adze-like instrument,^[4] was used in the Opening of the Mouth ceremony, intended to convey power over their senses to statues and mummies. It was apparently the foreleg of a freshly sacrificed bull or cow with which the mouth was touched.

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adze

The “Frieze of American History” is painted to appear as a carved stone bas-relieffrieze but is actually a trompe-l’œil fresco cycle depicting 19 scenes from American history. The “frieze” occupies a band immediately below the 36 windows. Brumidi designed the frieze and prepared a sketch in 1859 but did not begin painting until 1878. Brumidi painted seven and a half scenes. While working on “William Penn and the Indians,” Brumidi fell off the scaffolding and held on to a rail for 15 minutes until he was rescued. He died a few months later in 1880. After Brumidi’s death, Filippo Costaggini was commissioned to complete the eight and a half remaining scenes in Brumidi’s sketches. He finished in 1889 and left a 31-foot (9 m) gap due to an error in Brumidi’s original design. In 1951, Allyn Cox completed the frieze.

Except for the last three panels named by Allyn Cox, the scenes have no particular titles and many variant titles have been given. The names given here are the names used by the Architect of the Capitol, which uses the names that Brumidi used most frequently in his letters and that were used in Edward Clark and by newspaper articles.

The 19 panels are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Capitol_rotunda

This panel shows the Spanish conquistadorHernán Cortés entering an Aztectemple, being welcomed by Moctezuma II. At the beginning of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, Moctezuma and the Aztecs honored Cortés as a god, believing that he was the returning god Quetzalcoatl.

The Aztec calendar stone and cult images are based on sketches drawn by Brumidi in Mexico City.

AZTEC CALENDAR STONE

The Aztec calendar stone, Mexica sun stone, Stone of the Sun (Spanish: Piedra del Sol), or Stone of the Five Eras, is a large monolithic sculpture that was excavated in the Zócalo, Mexico City‘s main square, on December 17, 1790.^[2] It was discovered whilst Mexico City Cathedral was being repaired.^[3] The stone is around 12 feet  or  3.7 m!!!  across and weighs about 24 tons.^[4]

The exact purpose and meaning of the stone is unclear. However archaeologists and historians have proposed a number of theories and it seems likely that there are many aspects to the stone.^[5]

Mexican anthropologist Antonio de León y Gama (1735-1802) remarked that the Sun Stone showed that the Aztecs had knowledge of geometry to be able to carve the stone symmetrically and it showed they also had knowledge of mechanics to be able to move the stone from its quarry to its final destination.^[1]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_calendar_stone

“The exact purpose and meaning of the stone is unclear”

“To this day, the theorem of Pythagoras remains the most important single theorem in the whole of mathematics.
That seems a bold and extraordinary thing to say, yet it is not extravagant;
because what Pythagoras established is a fundamental characterization of the space in which we move, and it is the first time that is translated into numbers.
And the exact fit of the numbers describes the exact laws that bind the universe.
In fact, the numbers that compose right-angled triangles have been proposed as messages which we might send out to planets in other star systems as a test for the existence of rational life there.”

– Jacob Bronowski 1973

The video where we can find that quote;

Also the MIT scholar Giorgio de Santillana believed that the ancients perceived the pole of the ecliptic as the centre of a ‘whirlpool’ in the sky. In keeping with this hypothesis, R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz demonstrates that the astronomical arrangements of the circumpolar and zodiacal constellations at the centre of the circular Denderah Zodiacshow both the pole of the ecliptic as well as the north celestial pole.

As the author and pyramid researcher Peter Tompkins explained:

“The zodiac (of Denderah) is a circle at the centre of which is our north pole… our nor th pole is correctly located in the constellation of the jackal, or Little Bear (Ursa Minor), as it was at the time the zodiac was carved, sometime about the first century BC. But the zodiac also shows the pole of the ecliptic, located in the breast of the hippopotamus, or constellation of Draco. To Schwaller this explains the spiral formation of the constellations. The mythological figures are entwined in two circles –one around the north pole and one around the pole of the ecliptic. Where these two circles intersect marks the point of the equinox, or due east. The zodiac thus becomes a calendar going back to remote antiquity.”

In the 1970s the professor of the History of Science, Livio C. Stecchini, examined ancient Egyptian charts of the circumpolar constellations, showing the Hippopotamus (Draco) and the Thigh (Ursa Major or Great Bear) as well as a hawk-headed man, probably Horus, seen pointing a pole or spear at the head of the Bull.

According to the Czechoslovakian Egyptologist Zybnek Zaba, the pole or spear held by the hawk-headed man indicated the meridian line passing through the north celestial pole.
But Stecchini did not agree. He maintained that Zaba did not notice that the spear’s head divided the seven stars of the Thigh (Big Bear) constellation into groups of three and four stars. This line defined by the spear, argued Stecchini, does not indicate the meridian passing through the north celestial pole at all but the meridian passing through the pole of the ecliptic.

According to Stecchini, the ancient Egyptians not only understood the precession of the equinoxes but also knew that the true meridian is the one passing through the pole of the ecliptic.

What follows was written in 1901, and it is being ignored today, why?

“The moment primitive man began to observe anything, he must have taken note of the stars, and as soon as he began to talk about them he must have started by defining, in some way or other, the particular star he meant…. Observers would first consider the brightest stars and separate them from the dimmer ones; they would then discuss the stars which never set (the circumpolar constellations) and separate them from those which did rise and set. Then they would naturally, in a northern clime, choose out the constellation of the Great Bear or Orion, and for small groups, the Pleiades (op. cit. p. 132)…. A few years’ observation would have appeared to demonstrate the absolute changelessness of the places of the rising and setting of the same stars. It is true that this result would have been found to be erroneous when a long period of time had elapsed and when observation became more accurate, but for hundreds of years the stars would certainly appear to represent fixity, while the movements of the sun, moon and planets would seem to be bound by no law … would appear erratic, so long as the order of their movements was not known.”

The reflection that Ursa Major was probably the first constellation which made any deep impression upon the mind of prehistoric man in America, as elsewhere, lent an additional interest to the star-group, as I concentrated my mind upon its form and endeavored to imagine it in four equidistant positions, corresponding to the numerals in the symbol Ollin of the calendar-stone of Mexico.

I succeeded in obtaining, in succession, mental images of the constellation in four opposite positions. This effort led to an unforeseen result which surprised me. In a flash of mental vision I perceived a quadrupled image of the entire constellation, standing [pg 015]out in scintillating brilliancy from the intense darkness of the wintry sky (fig. 3, no. 3). At the same moment I saw that it bore the semblance of a symmetrical swastika of giant proportions. This fact, so unexpectedly realized, gave rise to such an absorbing train of new ideas and interpretations of the data I had accumulated, that I left my window, on that memorable night, with a growing perception of the deep and powerful influence the prolonged observation of Polaris and the circumpolar constellations would naturally have exerted upon the mind of primitive man. Deeply impressed with the striking resemblance between the composite image of Polaris, Ursa Major, and certain forms of the swastika, I started on a fresh line of investigation, and devoted myself to the study of primitive astronomy and its influence upon the intellectual development of mankind in general and the American races in particular.

After having worked, during thirteen years, without any preconceived ideas about the ancient Mexican civilization and without formulating any general conclusion concerning it, I saw all the knowledge I had slowly acquired fall into rank and file and organize itself into a simple and harmonious whole.

“Realizing this I perceived how, with the origin of the swastika, I had found the origin of the set of primeval ideas which had governed the human race from its infancy and which, in Mexican and Central American civilizations, ultimately developed into their ingenious system of government and social organization.”

Plate II. Various Forms of the Swastika

Scholars often mention in passing that Itzpapalotl has some (unspecified) connection to the day sign Ollin…

“Motion”

This may be because the standard form of the sign resembles that of a butterfly. “The butterfly was simultaneously a symbol of the soul and a sign for the concept of olin (undulant circling, rocking, oscillating or rolling movement, representing the space-time continuum, that is, the passage of time in space, marked by changes in the positions of the planets and the day-night sequences). Butterfly equaled olin because of the iconography of olin (see section on geometric designs, p. 180). It was also thus identified because of its movements.

Butterfly-olin was also a deity unit (Itzpapalotl).”
– Eva Hunt

ANUBIS aka URSA MINOR

Anubis not only opens the mouth of Osiris as the mummy. He also opens the mouth of Osiris as the underworld. Osiris’s mouth symbolizes the “jaws of death”, the entrance to the underworld. In this sense Anubis is the Conductor of Souls, like the Ferryman Charon of Greek myth. Indeed, in his manifestation as Upuaut, “the Opener of the Ways”, he is the ferryman of the solar barque.

This constellation also represents Arcas, the son of the Zeus (Jupiter, Jove), and Callisto (Kallisto – Ursa Major or Arktos). The land that is called Arcadia was named after Arcas. Arcadia, or Arcady, is often described in idyllic terms; the ideal land of rustic simplicity:

“Arcadia has become a poetic byword for an idyllic vision of unspoiled wilderness filled with the bounties of nature and inhabited by shepherds … Arcadia may refer to some imaginary idyllic paradise, immortalized by Virgil’s Eclogues, … Arcadia (utopia)” [2].

“Arcadia, that’s older than the moon (if we believe it), takes its name from great Arcas, Callisto’s son” [Ovid Book 1, The Carmentalia 3 ].

URSA MAJOR

The Latin name Helice and its Greek cognates seems to have been the most common title for this constellation with both Greeks and Romans. Of the name Helice Allen in Star Names says that in Greece Ursa Major was referred to as Elix (with the h dropped), meaning curved, or spiral (helix), and Elike, Homer’s Elikopes, apparently first used for the constellation by Aratos (310 BC – 240 BC). Some, however, derived the name from the curved or twisted position of the chief stars; and others, still more probably, from the city Helice, Kallisto’s birthplace in Arcadia [Star Names, see below] (ancientHelike a city on Gulf of Corinth lost in a tidal wave in 373 BC was rediscovered in 2001)

The Roman poet Ovid used this title, Helice, in the Fasti, where he wrote of both the Bears, in navigation. Manilius (see below) also called it Helice. The word helix and the Greek name Helice comes from Greek elix, meaning a helixform, or revolving form, from the Indo-European root *wel-³ ‘To turn, roll’. Derivatives: waltz, welter,whelk¹ (marine snail), whelk, willow (Salix), walk, well¹ (a water hole), wallet, wale (a weal or welt),wallow, vault¹ (an arched structure), voluble, volume, volute, archivolt, circumvolve, convolve,devolve, evolve, evolution (to unroll as one unrolled a scroll),

Recall the symbol we find associated with the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

Vajra (Devanagari) or dorje (Tibetan) is a word meaning both thunderbolt and diamond.

How many rays are emanating from each end of the double vajra/dorje?

13 x 4 = 52 rays plus the center containing the ‘solar’ swastika.

Is 52 an important number to the Aztec calendar?

In the Aztec Calendar Wheel below how many segments is each of the four arms broken into?

13 x 4 = 52 segments plus the center which contains the ‘sun’.

13 x 4 = 52
