Mysterious Mesoamerican Cultures
Mayan ideas spread via broadcast and influenced divergent cultures and languages. It is possible to trace the influence of the Mayan civilization far beyond its confines (400 to 600 A.D.). One or two of these lesser civilizations may have existed contemporaneously with the great Mayan civilization, but most were at their best long after the great culture had declined. This chapter will emphasize the ties between these lesser civilizations and the Mayas and analyze their characteristics. Toward Mexico and the Isthmus of Panama, we will proceed northwest. Along the Gulf of Mexico and across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the Mayas developed their arts of life in narrowing bands. In terms of impor...
The Divine Knowledge of Egypt
Egypt was considered by ancient peoples to be the epitome of Knowledge. Their mysterious Nile country had a knowledge system much more developed than any in their native ability, with which Egyptian religion was so strongly associated; therefore, it seemed to savor Knowledge practices to the foreigner. Imagine omitting the Pyramid Knowledge papyri. For a proper understanding of the Egyptian Pyramids and Temple Buildings, it is wiser to derive our information from the original native sources since we have almost no knowledge of Egyptian Knowledge. Most of what Egyptologists have written about Egyptian Knowledge assumes that it is merely a degraded form of religion or its foundation. Independe...
The Role of the Sumerian Goddess
The Sumerian people once inhabited the region near the Persian Gulf, known as Iraq. Greeks called this country Mesopotamia, which means the land between the rivers, as the Euphrates and Tigris, rising in Anatolia, flowed through Syria and Iraq before discharging into the Persian Gulf. 'Simurrum' is the name given to the northern region by the Semitic peoples later, like the word Sumerian, which was later used for the southern region. According to the Sumerians, their land was called Kien-gi, or 'land of the lordly En,' after the priest-king of Sumer (En). Sometime after 4000 BC, the Sumerians moved to this coastal area, but it's unclear from where they came. There is no connection between th...
Yuga Cycles for the Modern World
Today, the word "God" carries a lot of baggage. People conjure up different meanings for it based on their backgrounds and cultures; it often evokes positive and negative emotions. Humanity living in God's awareness on a day-to-day basis is often complicated for people from the Dwapara Yuga. As previously discussed, atheism and science often limit the Kali Yuga conception of God. According to Sri Yukteswar, God is not a venerable personage who resides in an antiseptic corner of the universe. As a result of God's consciousness, which is pure and beyond form and limitations, our consciousness is an inextricable expression of his consciousness. As we become more aware of ourselves, we become part of God's pure consciousness. Humanity has discovered more profound, subtle aspects of its true identity through the yugas. The layers of wrapping that hide the gift inside get removed as we move through the yugas. Most wrappings will be removed in Satya Yuga, revealing the gift underneath as if through a thin layer of tissue. Each individual in Satya Yuga will experience "God the Spirit beyond this visible world" after removing the last layer.
Ancient Origins of Mesoamerica
The Central Andes, Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Peru, and Bolivia all have deep roots in their pre-Columbian civilizations. The first chapters of Latin America's history correspond to those who inhabited it before encountering Europeans. This is especially true in Mesoamerica. The objectives are to show the development of the peoples and high civilizations of Mesoamerica before the arrival of the Mexica (Aztecs) in the Valley of Mexico (1325); second, to examine the key features of the political and socioeconomic organization, as well as the artistic and intellectual achievements achieved during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries under Mexica (Aztec) r...
Lost Civilizations of Mesoamerica
As the Olmec culture developed in the early pre-classic period, we observe the phenomenon of the Olmec Heads and their Mysterious origins. Through ideological management and coercion mechanisms, the dominant ruler appears and alludes to forms of government exercised by individuals. Massive sculptures and large-scale architecture represent the first representations of political power. The socio-political complex that developed thus encouraged the development of similar forms in other areas of Mesoamerica, resulting in the first stratified societies consisting of actual states, as seen in Teotihuacan in the Mexican highlands, Monte Albán in Oaxaca, and the Maya city states during the classical period. A corollary of this process was the rise of some post-classical societies that reached supra-state levels, such as the Mexica, who settled in the Mexican highlands and established a true pan-Mesoamerican empire. Following this brief introduction, it is time to examine each ancient Mexican society considered the most significant in Mesoamerica's political development.
Scarab Symbolism of the Ancient World
A scarabaeus symbol embodied an elevated religious idea in ancient Egypt, encompassing the Soul's future life, its resurrection from the grave, and most likely its reward or punishment in the next life, depending on its conduct. From the earliest historical knowledge about Ancient Egypt, scarabaeus models pre-existed as symbols of new life and the future eternal life of the triumphant or justified dead. There is an inscription on the lid of the coffin of Men-Kau-Ra, king of the fourth Memphite Dynasty (circa 3633-3600 B.C.) and builder of the Third Pyramid at Giza, confirms that many of the most elevated conceptions of the Per-em-hru, also known as the Book of the Dead, were accepted as trut...
Thoth The Author of Ancient Egyptian Wisdom
Thoth's roles in Egyptian mythology were many. He served as scribe of the gods, credited with the invention of writing and Egyptian hieroglyphs. In the underworld, Duat, he appeared as an ape, Aani, the god of equilibrium, who reported when the scales weighing the deceased's heart against the feather, representing the principle of Maat, was exactly even. The ancient Egyptians regarded Thoth as One, self-begotten, and self-produced. He was the master of both physical and moral (i.e. divine) law, making proper use of Ma'at. He is credited with making the calculations for the establishment of the heavens, stars, Earth, and everything in them. The Egyptians credited him as the author of all works of science, religion, philosophy, and magic. The Greeks further declared him the inventor of astronomy, astrology, the science of numbers, mathematics, geometry, surveying, medicine, botany, theology, civilized government, the alphabet, reading, writing, and oratory. They further claimed he was the true author of every work of every branch of knowledge, human and divine.
Egyptian Sacred Sciences and Cosmology
Kemetic writings found in Alexandria's libraries were attributed collectively to Hermes, a Greek conception of the Egyptian deity Djehuti, patron of science, learning, and language. She was believed to have incarnated herself as a sage several times, and in the beginnings of Egyptian civilization, in the form of Hermes Trismegistus, also known as the "thrice greatest" because he had perfected the three sacred disciplines of medicine, architecture, and astronomy. Egypt regarded Djehuti as the original teacher of sacred knowledge. His task was to write the secret books of the temples and possess the magical words of power used in temple rituals. He was known as Thoth-Hermes by the Greeks living in Egypt. Imhotep was revered as a patron saint of arcane teachings in the Old Kingdom. According to Egyptian Legend, his architectural canons constructed the Saqqara and Giza monuments. The Greeks and Romans believed these complexes were temples of initiation into the highest mysteries of religion. The Legend of Thoth/Hermes Trismegistus was thus born, with all the accompanying Hermetic attributes and historical lore derived from Graeco-Roman culture.
The Anunnaki Sumerians
It is possible that the Adamu man lived in south Iraq without leaving traces that are recognizable today. Our present concrete evidence for advanced human occupation in Sumerian begins with the stage at which man was already building complex ziggurats. This seems to reflect what happened in Egypt as a matter of record. Looking back into earlier times and different regions is necessary to understand how this came about. The Anunnaki Adamu manufactured drastic changes to his life shortly after 10000 BC. In addition to hunting and gathering food, he cultivated crops, especially cereals, and domesticated animals. Both changes were not necessarily initiated by the same group. It is still unclear ...
