Mayan Calendar Prophecies: The Complete Collection of 2012 Predictions and Prophecies by Gary Daniels Read Free Book Online

Did something happen in the year 1011 AD that corresponded with Aztec prophecies about how and when the Fourth Sun would end?
    In 1011 AD Chinese astronomers recorded the appearance of a “guest star” in their constellation known as the Rice Ladle. This constellation corresponds to our asterism called the Milk Dipper that is part of the constellation Sagittarius. As noted previously, the galactic center is located between Sagittarius and Scorpio.  Thus was this “guest star” a minor eruption from the galactic center or perhaps simply a blue supernova or comet that appeared nearby?
     
    Interestingly, the Aztecs carved the Milk Dipper asterism into the flange of their famous Aztec Calendar Stone or Stone of the Fifth Sun. [88] This strongly suggests they thought this event was significant to the beginning of the Fifth Sun. They also carved a glyph that corresponded to the year 1011 AD as the year the Fifth Sun began. According to Aztec legends, the Fourth Sun ended with a catastrophe that included a flood and the sky falling.
    Coincidentally, just three years later in 1014 AD the Anglo Saxon Chronicles describe a tsunami hitting the British Isles:
    “On the eve of St. Michael’s day came the great sea-flood, which spread wide over this land, and ran so far up as it never did before, overwhelming many towns, and an innumerable multitude of people.”
    Astronomer Dallas Abbott of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University discovered that this tsunami was likely caused by an impact of a comet fragment around the mid-Atlantic ridge and produced tsunamis that reached as far south as the Caribbean and South America. Thus, Aztec stories of the sky falling and a great flood are supported by scientific evidence. The fact that these events occurred so soon after the appearance of a guest star near or in the galactic center is the likely reason the Aztecs believed the Fourth Sun had ended and the Fifth Sun had begun. Yet apparently the Maya and Hopi did not agree that these events were severe enough to represent the end of a world age and continued to await the Fifth Sun.
    This serves as a good reminder that the interpretation of ancient prophecies and myths is not simple and errors are quite easy to make. It does appear that the return of the comet Machholz is a good match for the return of Quetzalcoatl as predicted in the Mayan book Chilam Balam of Chumayel . Two other green comets appeared during this period but none passed by the Pleiades nor did their orbital periods coincide with a known disaster in Earth’s history. Thus comet Machholz seems to fit the bill.
    Yet we must continue to look for other signs that corroborate these findings to see how well they coincide with the ancient myths. We must study other ancient prophecies and predictions to see if they, too, support these results.

15. Decoding the Mayan Flood Myth
    If one accepts the premise that mythology is astronomy in disguise then what are the possible astronomical underpinnings of the Mayan Flood Myth, which includes the decapitation of a cosmic crocodile and resulting flood of blood? If any myth has an astronomical basis then surely it is this myth for it explicitly states that the events it relates all began in the sky.
    The Mayan Flood Myth was recorded on a platform in Temple XIX at Palenque in Chiapas, Mexico. The myth was recorded in Mayan glyphs in the year 734 AD and discovered by archaeologists in 1999. According to Mayan scholar David Stuart who partially deciphered these glyphs, “the record of mythical…events recorded in these texts warrants their addition to the select group of highly important religious and historical documents from Palenque.” [89]
    The myth began with the date on which the events transpired: March 10, 3309 BC. On this date the myth relates that a deity known as God GI was enthroned in the sky under the supervision of another deity named Yax
