Hanuman and the Pleiades
(Maya Cosmogenesis, 2012, by John Major Jenkins). A Pleiades-Venus-Earth conjunction occurs on April 3; and a Sun-Venus-Earth transit on June 6 … (I got this here:)
Beyond 2012 – The Toltec pyramid of Kukulcan; a precessional alarm clock.
When the Toltec people moved to Chichen Itza, they merged their own zenith cosmology with the Mayan system, and the result was the Pyramid of Kukulcan. This has been designed so that every year, on Spring Equinox, the afternoon sun causes a shadow play so that it appears that a huge serpent is descending from the sky, down the pyramid. However, John Major Jenkins shows that the pyramid is much more than an equinox indicator. It is a precessional clock with its alarm set for the twenty-first century. …
Jenkins says that Kukulcan, (Meshia to the Mayans, Quetzalcoatl to the Aztecs), was the symbol of a sun-Pleiades-zenith conjunction. Exactly 60 days after the Spring Equinox (in March), on May 20, the zenith passage of the sun takes place over Chichen Itza.
The (Mesoamerican ) Crotalus rattlesnake … has a marking on it which is identical to the Solar ‘Ahau’ glyph of the Maya, and its rattle was called ‘tzab’, which is the same word used for the Pleiades star cluster (identifying the tail of the snake with that constellation). Questzalcoatl was depicted as a feathered serpent, and the ancient Egyptians depicted the sun the same way.
From the following article by Richard Cassaro, May 14th, 2012, it is obvious that the Mayans/Toltecs were part of a culture that had widespread influence. It demonstrates that the Mayan and Balinese cultures, on opposite sides of the Pacific, were from a single source. Among the other similarities, both the Mayan and the Balinese built a step pyramid, complete with the descending serpent stairway.
Both cultures depict a fearsome god in exactly the same pose holding a club.
This is the “howling monkey god” of the Mayans: their god of the arts and music, and of sculptors and scribes. Read the article here. I recommend scrolling through and reviewing the pictures before reading the text.
Meanwhile the Hindu monkey-god, Hanuman, from India, can be seen in a very similar pose. And below is an image of him carrying the club in his one hand while holding a pyramidal rock on the palm of his other hand.
This pyramidal object (which looks in the sculpture as though is was ancient even when the sculpture was made) takes us back to the worldwide pre-sanskrit culture, which used such pyramidal objects. The Hanuman pyramid object even appears to depict an all-seeing eye at the tip, as the others definitely do. The few of these pre-sanskrit objects that have been found (one?) has/have the pleiades star-cluster depicted in their base. This further connects the Mayan Chichen Itza pyramid to these cultures and their technologies.
Hanuman in sanskrit means, “having a large jaw,” which phrase could just as easily describe the Mayan and Balinese gods depicted. All three of these cultures also depicted yogic practices as well as the third eye in the forehead.
Hanuman was born of a monkey and a celestial being. He is written about in the Ramayana (ascribed to India’s first poet) and the Mahabarata. The Ramayana is considered by some to be older than the Mahabarata, and thought to be from the second of the four eons of Hindu chronology, although opinions vary. The Vedas predate it.
Hanuman is an important character in the Ramayana. He is a vanara, or ape-like humanoid, a member of the monkey kingdom of Kishkindha. They were shape-shifters. He is portrayed as the eleventh avatar of God Shiva (He is also called Rudra) and an ideal bhakta (devotee) of Rama. He is born as the son of Kesari, a vanara king, and the Goddess Anjana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramayana).
After Vanaras were created by the gods at the instruction of Brahma, to be warriors for them, the vanara began to organize into armies and spread across the forests of the west-central part of the Indian sub-continent, although some, including Vali (also known as Bali - the namesake of the Indonesian island – and in Indonesian known as Subali), Sugriva, and Hanuman, stayed near mount Riskshavat. The Ramayanah in describing this reminds one of the Bible in Genesis 6:4 and Enoch, chapter 7, which taken together depict an angelic leader persuading a celestial company to descend to earth, take women, and sire offspring – the giants, or mighty men of old. While it may not be the same event, it is certainly the same type of event.
Here is a picture of Vali showing a beard looking like the jaw-teeth in the Mayan depiction.
Bali was a king of the monkey kingdom, Kishkindha, and a son of Indra, and the elder brother of Sugriva.
