| | Too much of our planet's mythology, religion and history is centered around the Pleiades for all of this to be merely coincidental. | | | Mayan and Incan civilizations fervently worshipped the Pleiades. | | | The Pleiades are directly aligned with the Sun on May 19-20, so by Mayan New Year's Day on August 13 (one "season" later) they rise at midnight and are overhead at sunrise. |

| | With his better than academic decoding of the mysterious Maya glyphs that incorporate both their colorful mythology and sophisticated astronomy, John Major Jenkins has validated that shamans, with their out-of-body clairvoyance, were responsible for the amazing accuracy of Mayan and other Mesoamerican calendar systems that cover thousands of years of earthly, planetary, and galactic motion. | | | The concept of Father Sun being reborn at the end of the age is very similar to the events in Maya Creation mythology (the Popol Vuh) in which First Father / One Hunahpu is reborn in the underworld ballcourt. | | | As I've been able to show through an interdisciplinary analysis of the academic literature, synthesizing material from ethnographic starlore, archaeoastronomy, linguistics, mythology, and iconography, the solstice-galaxy alignment was conceived as the union of the male principle (December solstice sun) with the female principle (the Milky Way's center). |
