My next stop is the Mayans. Since I’m not familiar with the civilization, a quick look is in order to get acquainted with it, as well checking out the Flood myths.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_civilization

 

“The Maya civilization (/ˈmaɪə/) was a Mesoamerican civilization developed by the Maya peoples, and noted for its logosyllabic script—the most sophisticated and highly developed writing system in pre-Columbian Americas—as well as for its art, architecture, mathematics, calendar, and astronomical system. The Maya civilization developed in an area that encompasses southeastern Mexico, all of Guatemala and Belize, and the western portions of Honduras and El Salvador. This region consists of the northern lowlands encompassing the Yucatán Peninsula, and the highlands of the Sierra Madre, running from the Mexican state of Chiapas, across southern Guatemala and onwards into El Salvador, and the southern lowlands of the Pacific littoral plain. The overarching term "Maya" is a modern collective term that refers to the peoples of the region, however, the term was not used by the indigenous populations themselves since there never was a common sense of identity or political unity among the distinct populations.

 

The Archaic period, prior to 2000 BC, saw the first developments in agriculture and the earliest villages. The Preclassic period (c. 2000 BC to 250 AD) saw the establishment of the first complex societies in the Maya region, and the cultivation of the staple crops of the Maya diet, including maize, beans, squashes, and chili peppers. The first Maya cities developed around 750 BC, and by 500 BC these cities possessed monumental architecture, including large temples with elaborate stucco façades. Hieroglyphic writing was being used in the Maya region by the 3rd century BC. In the Late Preclassic a number of large cities developed in the Petén Basin, and the city of Kaminaljuyu rose to prominence in the Guatemalan Highlands. Beginning around 250 AD, the Classic period is largely defined as when the Maya were raising sculpted monuments with Long Count dates. This period saw the Maya civilization develop many city-states linked by a complex trade network. In the Maya Lowlands two great rivals, the cities of Tikal and Calakmul, became powerful. The Classic period also saw the intrusive intervention of the central Mexican city of Teotihuacan in Maya dynastic politics. In the 9th century, there was a widespread political collapse in the central Maya region, resulting in internecine warfare, the abandonment of cities, and a northward shift of population. The Postclassic period saw the rise of Chichen Itza in the north, and the expansion of the aggressive Kʼicheʼ kingdom in the Guatemalan Highlands. In the 16th century, the Spanish Empire colonised the Mesoamerican region, and a lengthy series of campaigns saw the fall of Nojpetén, the last Maya city, in 1697.

 

Classic period rule was centered on the concept of the "divine king", who acted as a mediator between mortals and the supernatural realm. Kingship was patrilineal, and power would normally pass to the eldest son. A prospective king was also expected to be a successful war leader. Maya politics was dominated by a closed system of patronage, although the exact political make-up of a kingdom varied from city-state to city-state. By the Late Classic, the aristocracy had greatly increased, resulting in the corresponding reduction in the exclusive power of the divine king. The Maya civilization developed highly sophisticated artforms, and the Maya created art using both perishable and non-perishable materials, including wood, jade, obsidian, ceramics, sculpted stone monuments, stucco, and finely painted murals.”

 

“The principal architecture of the city consisted of palaces, pyramid-temples, ceremonial ballcourts, and structures aligned for astronomical observation. The Maya elite were literate, and developed a complex system of hieroglyphic writing that was the most advanced in the pre-Columbian Americas. The Maya recorded their history and ritual knowledge in screenfold books, of which only three uncontested examples remain, the rest having been destroyed by the Spanish. There are also a great many examples of Maya text found on stelae and ceramics. The Maya developed a highly complex series of interlocking ritual calendars, and employed mathematics that included one of the earliest instances of the explicit zero in the world. As a part of their religion, the Maya practiced human sacrifice.”

“Investigation of Maya civilization

 

In 1839, American traveller and writer John Lloyd Stephens set out to visit a number of Maya sites with English architect and draftsman Frederick Catherwood.[104] Their illustrated accounts of the ruins sparked strong popular interest, and brought the Maya to the attention of the world.[102] The later 19th century saw the recording and recovery of ethnohistoric accounts of the Maya, and the first steps in deciphering Maya hieroglyphs.

 

The final two decades of the 19th century saw the birth of modern scientific archaeology in the Maya region, with the meticulous work of Alfred Maudslay and Teoberto Maler.[106] By the early 20th century, the Peabody Museum was sponsoring excavations at Copán and in the Yucatán Peninsula.”

 

>> Notable: similar to Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Olmec, the “discoveries” about the Mayans started around mid XIXth century.

 

“Politics

 

Unlike the Aztecs and the Inca, the Maya political system never integrated the entire Maya cultural area into a single state or empire. Rather, throughout its history, the Maya area contained a varying mix of political complexity that included both states and chiefdoms. These polities fluctuated greatly in their relationships with each other and were engaged in a complex web of rivalries, periods of dominance or submission, vassalage, and alliances. At times, different polities achieved regional dominance, such as Calakmul, Caracol, Mayapan, and Tikal. The first reliably evidenced polities formed in the Maya lowlands in the 9th century BC.[117] During the Late Preclassic, the Maya political system coalesced into a theopolitical form, where elite ideology justified the ruler's authority, and was reinforced by public display, ritual, and religion.[118] The divine king was the center of political power, exercising ultimate control over the administrative, economic, judicial, and military functions of the polity. The divine authority invested within the ruler was such that the king was able to mobilize both the aristocracy and commoners in executing huge infrastructure projects, apparently with no police force or standing army.[119] Some polities engaged in a strategy of increasing administration, and filling administrative posts with loyal supporters rather than blood relatives.[120] Within a polity, mid-ranking population centers would have played a key role in managing resources and internal conflict.

 

>> This concept of priest king is very interesting isn’t it anons? Hm! I wonder where I’ve seen it before? Anons wanna start comparing with their notes?

 

“The Maya political landscape was highly complex and Maya elites engaged in political intrigue to gain economic and social advantage over neighbors.[122] In the Late Classic, some cities established a long period of dominance over other large cities, such as the dominance of Caracol over Naranjo for half a century. In other cases, loose alliance networks were formed around a dominant city.[123] Border settlements, usually located about halfway between neighboring capitals, often switched allegiance over the course of their history, and at times acted independently.[124] Dominant capitals exacted tribute in the form of luxury items from subjugated population centers.[125] Political power was reinforced by military power, and the capture and humiliation of enemy warriors played an important part in elite culture. An overriding sense of pride and honor among the warrior aristocracy could lead to extended feuds and vendettas, which caused political instability and the fragmentation of polities.”

“Society

 

From the Early Preclassic, Maya society was sharply divided between the elite and commoners. As population increased over time, various sectors of society became increasingly specialised, and political organization became increasingly complex.[127] By the Late Classic, when populations had grown enormously and hundreds of cities were connected in a complex web of political hierarchies, the wealthy segment of society multiplied.[128] A middle class may have developed that included artisans, low ranking priests and officials, merchants, and soldiers. Commoners included farmers, servants, labourers, and slaves.[129] According to indigenous histories, land was held communally by noble houses or clans. Such clans held that the land was the property of the clan ancestors, and such ties between the land and the ancestors were reinforced by the burial of the dead within residential compounds.”

 

>> I found this concept of clans very interesting, mostly if we compare it to other cultures from all over the world, like the Chinese, the Scottish and yes, even the Armenians. I’ve explained this before: the IAN placed at the end of the Armenian family name refers to the clan. I’m going to use once more Kim Kardashian as an example. The word Kardash ,means “brother” in Turkish (the Armenians of Cilicia were under Ottoman rule back then, thus the origin of the name) and when the IAN is added to the end, it can be translated to “Clan of the brotherhood”. Another example I can give is by taking an American name and turn it into an Armenian by adding the IAN; like Gina Haspel, will become Gina Haspel-ian, meaning Gina of the Haspel clan.

 

“King and court

 

Classic Maya rule was centred in a royal culture that was displayed in all areas of Classic Maya art. The king was the supreme ruler and held a semi-divine status that made him the mediator between the mortal realm and that of the gods. From very early times, kings were specifically identified with the young maize god, whose gift of maize was the basis of Mesoamerican civilization. Maya royal succession was patrilineal, and royal power only passed to queens when doing otherwise would result in the extinction of the dynasty. Typically, power was passed to the eldest son. A young prince was called a chʼok ("youth"), although this word later came to refer to nobility in general. The royal heir was called bʼaah chʼok ("head youth"). Various points in the young prince's childhood were marked by ritual; the most important was a bloodletting ceremony at age five or six years. Although being of the royal bloodline was of utmost importance, the heir also had to be a successful war leader, as demonstrated by taking of captives. The enthronement of a new king was a highly elaborate ceremony, involving a series of separate acts that included enthronement upon a jaguar-skin cushion, human sacrifice, and receiving the symbols of royal power, such as a headband bearing a jade representation of the so-called "jester god", an elaborate headdress adorned with quetzal feathers, and a scepter representing the god Kʼawiil.

 

Maya political administration, based around the royal court, was not bureaucratic in nature. Government was hierarchical, and official posts were sponsored by higher-ranking members of the aristocracy; officials tended to be promoted to higher levels of office during the course of their lives. Officials are referred to as being "owned" by their sponsor, and this relationship continued even after the death of the sponsor.

 

>> Now I find this funny = just like Soros is sponsoring many politicians all over the globe. Didn’t Waleed bin Talal do the same by sponsoring Obama?

 

The concept of King-Priest shows in the Mayan culture. Amazing isn’t it anon, how we found it in most of the civilizations we’ve visited so far?

“Pyramids and temples

 

Temples were sometimes referred to in hieroglyphic texts as kʼuh nah, meaning "god's house". Temples were raised on platforms, most often upon a pyramid. The earliest temples were probably thatched huts built upon low platforms. By the Late Preclassic period, their walls were of stone, and the development of the corbel arch allowed stone roofs to replace thatch. By the Classic period, temple roofs were being topped with roof combs that extended the height of the temple and served as a foundation for monumental art. The temple shrines contained between one and three rooms, and were dedicated to important deities. Such a deity might be one of the patron gods of the city, or a deified ancestor.[242] In general, freestanding pyramids were shrines honouring powerful ancestors.”

 

“E-Groups and observatories

 

The Maya were keen observers of the sun, stars, and planets.[244] E-Groups were a particular arrangement of temples that were relatively common in the Maya region;[245] they take their names from Group E at Uaxactun.[246] They consisted of three small structures facing a fourth structure, and were used to mark the solstices and equinoxes. The earliest examples date to the Preclassic period.[245] The Lost World complex at Tikal started out as an E-Group built towards the end of the Middle Preclassic.[247] Due to its nature, the basic layout of an E-Group was constant. A structure was built on the west side of a plaza; it was usually a radial pyramid with stairways facing the cardinal directions. It faced east across the plaza to three small temples on the far side. From the west pyramid, the sun was seen to rise over these temples on the solstices and equinoxes.[244] E-Groups were raised across the central and southern Maya area for over a millennium; not all were properly aligned as observatories, and their function may have been symbolic.

 

As well as E-Groups, the Maya built other structures dedicated to observing the movements of celestial bodies.[244] Many Maya buildings were aligned with astronomical bodies, including the planet Venus, and various constellations.[245] The Caracol structure at Chichen Itza was a circular multi-level edifice, with a conical superstructure. It has slit windows that marked the movements of Venus. At Copán, a pair of stelae were raised to mark the position of the setting sun at the equinoxes.”

 

“Triadic pyramids

 

Triadic pyramids first appeared in the Preclassic. They consisted of a dominant structure flanked by two smaller inward-facing buildings, all mounted upon a single basal platform. The largest known triadic pyramid was built at El Mirador in the Petén Basin; it covers an area six times as large as that covered by Temple IV, the largest pyramid at Tikal.[249] The three superstructures all have stairways leading up from the central plaza on top of the basal platform.[250] No securely established forerunners of Triadic Groups are known, but they may have developed from the eastern range building of E-Group complexes.[251] The triadic form was the predominant architectural form in the Petén region during the Late Preclassic.[252] Examples of triadic pyramids are known from as many as 88 archaeological sites.[253] At Nakbe, there are at least a dozen examples of triadic complexes and the four largest structures in the city are triadic in nature.[254] At El Mirador there are probably as many as 36 triadic structures.[255] Examples of the triadic form are even known from Dzibilchaltun in the far north of the Yucatán Peninsula, and Qʼumarkaj in the Highlands of Guatemala.[256] The triadic pyramid remained a popular architectural form for centuries after the first examples were built;[251] it continued in use into the Classic Period, with later examples being found at Uaxactun, Caracol, Seibal, Nakum, Tikal and Palenque.[257] The Qʼumarkaj example is the only one that has been dated to the Postclassic Period.[258] The triple-temple form of the triadic pyramid appears to be related to Maya mythology.”

“Language

 

Before 2000 BC, the Maya spoke a single language, dubbed proto-Mayan by linguists. […]These groups diverged further during the pre-Columbian era to form over 30 languages that have survived into modern times. […] The language of almost all Classic Maya texts over the entire Maya area has been identified as Chʼolan;[278] Late Preclassic text from Kaminaljuyu, in the highlands, also appears to be in, or related to, Chʼolan. […] Classic Chʼolan may have been the prestige language of the Classic Maya elite, used in inter-polity communication such as diplomacy and trade.[281] By the Postclassic period, Yucatec was also being written in Maya codices alongside Chʼolan.”

 

“Writing and literacy

 

The Maya writing system is one of the outstanding achievements of the pre-Columbian inhabitants of the Americas.[284] It was the most sophisticated and highly developed writing system of more than a dozen systems that developed in Mesoamerica.[285] The earliest inscriptions in an identifiably Maya script date back to 300–200 BC, in the Petén Basin.[286] However, this is preceded by several other Mesoamerican writing systems, such as the Epi-Olmec and Zapotec scripts. Early Maya script had appeared on the Pacific coast of Guatemala by the late 1st century AD, or early 2nd century.[287] Similarities between the Isthmian script and Early Maya script of the Pacific coast suggest that the two systems developed in tandem.[288] By about AD 250, the Maya script had become a more formalised and consistent writing system.

 

The Catholic Church and colonial officials, notably Bishop Diego de Landa, destroyed Maya texts wherever they found them, and with them the knowledge of Maya writing, but by chance three uncontested pre-Columbian books dated to the Postclassic period have been preserved. These are known as the Madrid Codex, the Dresden Codex and the Paris Codex.[290] A few pages survive from a fourth, the Grolier Codex, whose authenticity is disputed.

 

Most surviving pre-Columbian Maya writing dates to the Classic period and is contained in stone inscriptions from Maya sites, such as stelae, or on ceramics vessels. Other media include the aforementioned codices, stucco façades, frescoes, wooden lintels, cave walls, and portable artefacts crafted from a variety of materials, including bone, shell, obsidian, and jade.”

 

“Writing system

 

The Maya writing system (often called hieroglyphs from a superficial resemblance to Ancient Egyptian writing)[293] is a logosyllabic writing system, combining a syllabary of phonetic signs representing syllables with logogram representing entire words.[292][294] Among the writing systems of the Pre-Columbian New World, Maya script most closely represents the spoken language.[295] At any one time, no more than around 500 glyphs were in use, some 200 of which (including variations) were phonetic.”

 

>> So they combined the phonetic syllables with pictogram writing. It’s a mixture of 2 methods of writing. Compare with what we know of Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, please.

 

“The Maya script was in use up to the arrival of the Europeans, its use peaking during the Classic Period.[296] In excess of 10,000 individual texts have been recovered, mostly inscribed on stone monuments, lintels, stelae and ceramics. […]The skill and knowledge of Maya writing persisted among segments of the population right up to the Spanish conquest. The knowledge was subsequently lost, as a result of the impact of the conquest on Maya society.”

“The decipherment and recovery of the knowledge of Maya writing has been a long and laborious process.[300] Some elements were first deciphered in the late 19th and early 20th century, mostly the parts having to do with numbers, the Maya calendar, and astronomy.[301] Major breakthroughs were made from the 1950s to 1970s, and accelerated rapidly thereafter.[302] By the end of the 20th century, scholars were able to read the majority of Maya texts, and ongoing work continues to further illuminate the content.”

 

“Logosyllabic script

 

The basic unit of Maya logosyllabic text is the glyph block, which transcribes a word or phrase. The block is composed of one or more individual glyphs attached to each other to form the glyph block, with individual glyph blocks generally being separated by a space. Glyph blocks are usually arranged in a grid pattern. For ease of reference, epigraphers refer to glyph blocks from left to right alphabetically, and top to bottom numerically. Thus, any glyph block in a piece of text can be identified.”

 

“Mathematics

 

In common with the other Mesoamerican civilizations, the Maya used a base 20 (vigesimal) system.[313] The bar-and-dot counting system that is the base of Maya numerals was in use in Mesoamerica by 1000 BC;[314] the Maya adopted it by the Late Preclassic, and added the symbol for zero.[315] This may have been the earliest known occurrence of the idea of an explicit zero worldwide,[316] although it may have been predated by the Babylonian system.[317] The earliest explicit use of zero occurred on monuments dated to 357 AD.[318] In its earliest uses, the zero served as a place holder, indicating an absence of a particular calendrical count. This later developed into a numeral that was used to perform calculation,[319] and was used in hieroglyphic texts for more than a thousand years, until the writing system was extinguished by the Spanish.

 

The basic number system consists of a dot to represent one, and a bar to represent five.[321] By the Postclassic period a shell symbol represented zero; during the Classic period other glyphs were used.[322] The Maya numerals from 0 to 19 used repetitions of these symbols.”

 

“Calendar

 

The Maya calendrical system, in common with other Mesoamerican calendars, had its origins in the Preclassic period. However, it was the Maya that developed the calendar to its maximum sophistication, recording lunar and solar cycles, eclipses and movements of planets with great accuracy. In some cases, the Maya calculations were more accurate than equivalent calculations in the Old World; for example, the Maya solar year was calculated to greater accuracy than the Julian year. The Maya calendar was intrinsically tied to Maya ritual, and it was central to Maya religious practices.[324] The calendar combined a non-repeating Long Count with three interlocking cycles, each measuring a progressively larger period. These were the 260-day tzolkʼin,[325] the 365-day haabʼ,[326] and the 52-year Calendar Round, resulting from the combination of the tzolkʼin with the haab'.[327] There were also additional calendric cycles, such as an 819-day cycle associated with the four quadrants of Maya cosmology, governed by four different aspects of the god Kʼawiil.”

 

“The 365-day haab was produced by a cycle of eighteen named 20-day winals, completed by the addition of a 5-day period called the wayeb.[330] The wayeb was considered to be a dangerous time, when the barriers between the mortal and supernatural realms were broken, allowing malignant deities to cross over and interfere in human concerns.”

 

“As with any non-repeating calendar, the Maya measured time from a fixed start point. The Maya set the beginning of their calendar as the end of a previous cycle of bakʼtuns, equivalent to a day in 3114 BC. This was believed by the Maya to be the day of the creation of the world in its current form.”

 

>> HIGHLY IMPORTANT. Remember the date, it will be needed later on.

This is the old man,

 

Thank you for your kind words anon. I hope you will enjoy reading.

 

As you can see what I'm tackling is huge and I'm sure I'm missing some points. There are a lot of digging tunnels to go and they are intertwined with others. It's like a HUGE spider web. I had to cut corners as much as I can so I can to stay in the main pipe and not get lost in the tunnels. What I'm working on is like the skeleton and it will up to the anons reading this to build the rest of the body. There is a lot of work to be done and one person cannot do it alone in a short amount of time.

 

Thank you for the information you are sharing. I didn't know about the Bosnian pyramid, so it was interesting. I'm taking notes ^_^

 

I've also been suspecting the people in the alternative history recently because of their behavior. Well, I guess we can only rely on ourselves and each one of us do his/her own research and verify things.

 

God bless you.
