The ceiba was the most sacred tree for the ancient Maya, and according to Maya mythology, it was the symbol of the universe. The tree signified a route of communication between the three levels of earth. Its roots were said to reach down into the underworld, its trunk represented the middle world where the humans live, and its canopy of branches arched high in the sky symbolized the upper world and the thirteen levels in which the Maya heaven was divided.
According to the Maya, the world is a quincunx, consisting of four directional quadrants and a central space corresponding to the fifth direction. Colors associated with the quincunx are red in the east, white in the north, black in the west, yellow in the south, and green in the center.

K...Pena on the mound...has three strike outs already...well, seeing again the four colors, after going on about them yesterday in Michael Van Stone's youtube clip about bearded white men and the Mayans and the colors of the four directions, one god being white, one red, one black, one yellow, the colors of Indian corn, I got to thinking, are the four directions in Masonic lodges indicated by colors!?...what can I say, I was roped into DeMolay as a teenager...had no idea really who DeMolay was until I looked up the history much later...DeMolay is a bit like boyscouts without the camping...instead of camping, it was conventions...the rowdiness the same...anyway, I made a quick looksee at the layout of masonic lodges...Calhoun up...fly out...had two hits last night...and dogged a hit that got past him...and noted the altar in the middle...which I don't remember...and around the altar three 'lights'...hmmph...I thought: 'here I am with the Inca creation three stones, the Mayan three ancestor stones, omphalos stones...now three lights...a looksee'...Angels made out...

the hearth stones of the Mayans are shown arranged in a triangle holding a platter like grill for cooking, and it was explained that this arrangement may represent stability, like a three legged stool...that's probably a reach, but true enough three stones is the first number of stones, the minimum number, one would need to hold a round grill/platter to cook on...and it is a triangle...about here, I left off looking for the four direction colors of lodges...Pujols a throw'm out at the plate (home plate has a triangular point...a square with a triangle!)...and I thought I'll go look up the designs on Easter Eggs...as likely those were taken seriously at some time and have import!...then thought, eggs are like stones...my easter eggs moving along!...D'Backs make out...to top of 3rd...and said to myself..."DavidDavid, this is all becoming to much like movieTheDivinciCode"...two of the books in that series I read, movies too...familiar with mythology and poetry, it was kind of ho hum...but I had some time before the game tonight, and on a whim thought to watch one of the movies...see how another Easter egg hunter goes about things!...from amazon prime rented movieAngelsAndDemons...and right off it begins with the destruction of the dead Pope's ring...every Pope's seal ring is destroyed when he dies...and I thought, 'how like what I read about the Sapa-Incas tocapu tunic!'...those were burned when the Sapa died...the reason the famous one survived is because of the chaos in succession the Spanish caused...then the movie jumps from that to, what's it called...brb...

Langdon listens to the Illuminati's message and deduces the four cardinals will die at the four altars of the "Path of Illumination", marked by statues of angels in locations relevant to the four classical elements. Over the objections of Commander Maximilian Richter, head of the Swiss Guard, but with McKenna's consent, Langdon is granted access to the Vatican Secret Archives. He examines Galileo Galilei's banned book with Vetra. Following the clues and accompanied by Inspector General Ernesto Olivetti and Claudio Vincenzi of the Vatican Gendarmerie Corps, they arrive at the Chigi Chapel in the Church of Santa Maria del Popolo. There they find Cardinal Ebner dead, suffocated with soil and branded with an ambigrammatic word "Earth".

An ambigram is a word, art form or other symbolic representation whose elements retain meaning when viewed or interpreted from a different direction, perspective, or orientation.

Ambigrams have also been called, among other things:

It is, albeit 'Romanized'. We agree on the similarities. To add on, the similarity also extends to arts of the old Americas, example: Incan arts, and the those found in Australia, where swirls of finely-striped positive-negative spaces form crocodilian gods.

His fourth novel, The Da Vinci Code, became a bestseller, going to the top of the New York Times Best Seller list during its first week of release in 2003. It is one of the most popular books of all time, with 81 million copies sold worldwide as of 2009.[17][18] Its success has helped push sales of Brown's earlier books.

In April 2006 Brown's publisher, Random House, won a copyright infringement case brought by authors Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh, who claimed that Brown stole ideas from their 1982 book Holy Blood Holy Grail for his 2003 novel The Da Vinci Code.

This is commonly described as the checkered carpet which covers the floor of the lodge. The lecture says that the mosaic pavement “is a representation of the ground floor of King Solomon’s Temple” and is “emblematic of human life, checkered with good and evil.”

oh, a curio...I just watched late last night youtube about that the Jerusalem Temples were located lower down from where they are now thought to be, Islam's Dome of the Rock, and the Wailing Wall...thought is that that is all ruins of Roman fort, and the real location was lower where there is a spring, which provided water for the rituals...makes good sense...and the youtube notes that the ancient Israelis purchased a 'threshing floor' area for their temple...the checkerboard, I find, shows up in Dogon lore...Graves was absolutely bananas over the Dogon...he had an African one eyed figurine gold measuring weight beside him when he wrote out bookWhiteGoddess...and alludes to its influence!...
quote
The Dogon checkerboard can be a kinetic symbol as well, for it can be danced or otherwise acted out to bring a sense of divine order to both ritual and everyday affairs. Here young people are tilling the sandy soil just adjacent to Sanga village in Mali on the day after the first rains of 1986.
... ... ...
The young people are following a choreography called by the woman second from the right. Following her cadence, they strike the ground to dig in the carefully collected fertilizer seen piled in the foreground, and to prepare for planting millet; but they do so in a manner that Dogon say produces the desired sacred checkerboard pattern (Griaule 1970).

For example, we find a certain type of designs for cane baskets in Louisiana, and passing over to northern South America,[3] we find baskets of similar materials with designs almost identical. In this case we have other facts that suggest this similarity to be but another example of culture diffusion. Yet, we can find baskets in some of the Pacific Islands which can scarcely be distinguished from cane baskets of the New World, if we consider the designs only, and in this case there is no good reason for expecting diffusion.
The limitations set by weaving are more clearly shown when realistic figures are attempted (Fig. 35). Painted pottery, on the other hand, imposes no such restrictions in the matter of design, but leaves the hand free to make curves of any form. Accordingly, when we find the aboriginal potters of Arizona and New Mexico using a great array of checked and angular patterns, with stepped lines, we must necessarily refer them to textiles.
... ... ...
Like many other culture traits, designs tend to fall into geographical groups. While the boundaries to such areas cannot always be drawn with great precision, their centers can be located without much difficulty. We have noted that California seemed to be the center of the highest attainments in basket-making, and it so happens that this is also the great center for basketry designs.

that site says something I've wanted to say...that the squareness of figures and designs stems from the nature of basket weaving, and cloth weaving...Parker strikes out the side...I've been casting about for more checkerboard agriculture like the Incas...I thought I read a bit about Mayan agriculture that said as much...well, I'll say it, the checkerboard pattern world wide represent a planting field...here's pic of the Dogons in field from site I quoted...
