Mayan Homes
quotes
Many Maya houses, both ancient and modern, have a basic rectangular shape, but with rounded ends. These also can be constructed with the help of a cord. First find the midpoint of one of the sides to be rounded by using the cord, and then stretch the cord from the midpoint to an opposite corner and swing the cord to the other corner. Then repeat the process on the other side of the rectangle.

Early research showed that stelae A and C at Quiriguá are twins; this is quite clear, as they are virtually identical (see figures W0968T and W0960T). However, when Mayan glyphic writing started to be deciphered, it became evident that they were central to a Maya creation myth. The lengthy text on the side of Stela C describes that time began with the “planting” of three stones. On the other side, it gives the date of this event as 13.0.0.0.0, which equates to 3114BC.

These hearth stones are carried on the back of the Turtle constellation of Orion, Ak’Ek (turtle star): see picture below from the Madrid codex, with the turtle hanging from the sky band and the triangle of the 3 stones or cauac glyph on its back. This triangle is the area of Orion’s M42 nebula.

Notes: Angels 2, Twins 1...Sandoval pitched no hit ball for eight and one third innings!...so close...I did search: Pythagorean ratio Mayan, and, and that site came up...apparently, Mayan homes were all alike-tract huts...and I went looking for the three hearth stones too...every home had the three stones over the hearth, and the site above surmises they represent three stars in the constellation Orion, but not the stars of Orion's belt, rather three that form a triangle...about here one wishes the pre-Colombian history of the indigenous Americans was in the hands of the indigenous Americans....this lament voiced sometimes too about the history of ancient Egypt...I dunno...site doesn't cite...on the fly here, ("scattered" as Nick on the Rocks says-see youtube) exploring some other sites, and brought up short!...I just saw that ceremonial serpent bar with the two crossed bands, and it was distinctly said it represents the ecliptic/path of sun, sunset sunrise...I collect things on my android phone which is problematic...site was The Plumed...Conch!...neat name...brb...found it....the crossed band on the three hearth stones...I post the Olmec tablet again, with a bit of its caption from yesterday...the "curved element" is the frets of a fret step fret motif...I surmise!...'surmise' a new word already outworn...hmmph...and, and all this goes side by side with the Andeans'/Incas' "usno" and their three sacred ancestor stones...the "usnos" are small stepped pyramids, at least one with a double throne on top (something to add to my throne lore!) for the Inca King and his Queen...it was at just such an usno/ushno that the Inca ceremoniously first met with Pizzaro, presenting the ancestor stones, or some such...some back forth insults about the "sacredness" of the stones, and contrariwise, the Bible, resulted in the dust up that brought down the incas...so legendary lore has it...I've gone on about this in posts way back, but since, there seems to be more lore on the web about the Mesoamerican and the Andeans three stones...more lore than I found before anyway!...that connect: crossed bands to Mayan hearth stones, crossed bands to Serpent bar, all to Orion/Stars?, is something!...I dunno...there are some really wild looking serpent bars...for tomorrowmorrow...oh, the fuzzy turtle second pic down has everything...ceremonial bar/skyband, hearth stones, crossed bands, and the turtle a stand in for the step mountain...put a halo over the Angel win....
