>> What do I think of this sarcophagus lid? Well, I’m 50/50 split about its interpretation, since I’m unfamiliar with the civilization. But it’s important to note that just like in Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt, the NOTION of FLIGHT is present here, no matter how you interpret the lid carvings. Either he ascended to Heavens in a spiritual way or if this was a real spaceship, FLIGHT in present. Also it’s a FACT that Mayans had very advanced astronomical knowledge, as well as in Mathematics. So at this stage, everything is possible. With this I conclude the Mayans. If I missed anything, please bring it to attention. I’m going to talk about Teotihuacan at the end.
My next stop is the Toltec civilization.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toltec_Empire
“According to Mesoamerican historiography, the Toltec Empire,[3] Toltec Kingdom[4] or Altepetl Tollan[1] was a political entity in modern Mexico. It existed through the classic and post-classic periods of Mesoamerican chronology, but gained most of its power in the post-classic. During this time its sphere of influence reached as far away as the Yucatan Peninsula.
The capital city of this empire was Tollan-Xicocotitlan,[5] while other important cities included Tulancingo,[6] and Huapalcalco, although some more distant cities like Chupícuaro, Chichen Itza, and Coba seem to have been under Toltec control or influence at some point.”
“Oral traditions about the origin of Toltecs were collected by historians like Mariano de Veytia[7] and Carlos María de Bustamante[8] in the early 19th century. According to said accounts, there was a city named Tlachicatzin in a country ruled by the city of Huehuetlapallan, whose inhabitants called the people of Tlachicatzin "Toltecah", for their fame as dexterous artisans.[7] In 583, led by two notables named Chalcaltzin and Tlacamihtzin, the Toltecah rebelled against their overlords in Huehuetlapallan[8] and after thirteen years of resistance they ended up fleeing Tlachicatzin.[7] Some of the Toltecah later founded a new settlement called Tlapallanconco in 604,[8] but others continued their migration.”
>> Notable: 1 – “for their fame as dexterous artisans”. 2 – Migration occurred.
“These narrations about the origin of the Toltecs have been disputed by archaeologists and historians like Manuel Gamio,[10] Enrique Florescano[10] and Laurette Séjourné;[11] who had identified the Toltec city of Tollan with Teotihuacan, although this hypothesis has been criticized by many scholars, most notably historian Miguel León-Portilla.”
“The dynastic history of the Toltecs was recorded by several pre-Columbian and Colonial sources, although there are contradictions in most of them. Some sources say that a man named Huemac,[14] was the leader of the Toltecs when they arrive into Man-he-mi, while others begin the list of Toltec rulers, or tlatoani, with Chalchiutlanetzin,[15] with Mixcoamatzatzin,[14] or even with Cē Ācatl Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl.”
“Historians like Alfredo Chavero investigated the numerous proposed lists of Toltec rulers presented in the works of authors like Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxóchitl and Juan de Torquemada, and in anonymous sources like the Codex Chimalpopoca. According to Chavero, his research led him to conclude that most of the traditional recounts of the Toltec royalty are not reliable because they were recorded in a style similar to the medieval Chansons de geste,[2] something that became evident once he realised that most of the reigns of the Toltec monarchs lasted 52 years, which is exactly the duration of the 52 year-long cycle of the Mesoamerican calendars,[2] known in nahuatl as Xiuhmolpilli. Therefore, Chavero concluded, that most of the traditional Toltec royal accounts and exploits must be legendary in nature.”
>> This is interesting. A 52 year cycle in concordance with the calendar.
