OTI:notes:5/4/19

Open To Interpretation

Not in this zip code...

Notes: Game on...on the radio...in Monterrey, Mexico..."and that one is chased and missed and the ball game is over"...Houston over the Angels...lol...distracted reading, and listened to the game...only just now started up the laptop to post...Houston 14-2...but wait...maybe Dodgers are on...Padre's Machado waps into a double play...I've come to the thought my efforts are naieve....in contrast, Dodgers' announcer Monday's announcing is sophisticated, a clone of Skully....youtuber noted Skully addled my SoCal generation's minds...we didn't listen to just the Dodgers, but to a Druid, Skully, narrating the games...Angels' announcers Mark and Terry are terrific...I thought to see if any ruins about Monterrey, and no...Indians thereabout much like California Indians...Monterrey is where the great northern desert of Mexico begins...and it extends into the United State's southwest...it was a barrier to the Mesoamericans...too dry, too many independent tribes opposed to strangers...on the Southern border of the Mesoamericans was something called the Darian Gap...this at the Southern border of Panama, and there is a gap in the Pan American highway...mountains and mangrove swamps...a whimsy to drive to Tierra del Fuego...but no, one gets blocked thereabout...of course there are airplanes and boats...and, of course the Mesoamericans had boats...don't know about the airplanes...the Andeans may have had those, judging from the Nazca lines!...but too the Andeans had boats, and surely the Amazonians too...the Amazon basin is beginning to open up to archaeologists...discovery of big settled towns, where before it was thought only slash and burn agriculture by jungle nomads...not so...even the Spanish reported large populations along the Amazon...Amazonians separated from Mesoamericans and Andeans by swamps and mountains...and likely too, tribes living close to the ground in those mountains and swamps...Dodgers scored a bunch...top of sixth..."take the lead"...Dodgers 7-6?...thought to see how far away Mayapan, Yucatan, is...two days by car, 37 days by foot!...that has to be wrong, the foot part from google's map...but maybe, going like thirty miles a day...Dodger's 5-3...in Mayapan the ruins have a mural with five miniature temples...oh...let me get that one I found, as it gave the thought to find the others!...brb...

Image result for mayapan miniature temples

One of five miniature temples represented in the murals of Room 1 in the Temple of the Niches (Q80). Polychrome color cells outlined in black closely resemble those in Mixteca-Puebla style codices (after Proskouriakoff

 
 
on that one, step motif, step fret, and the crossed bands...the little temples said to be linked to Venus...the Temple of the Niches in like EL Castillo...Dodgers 6-3...Dodgers are playing the Padres in San Diego...I'm rooting for the Padres in NLW...

El Castillo (the Castle) is the main temple in Mayapán. It is located by the cenote Ch'en Mul. The pyramid is a four-staircase temple with nine terraces, like the Temple of Kukulkán at the earlier site of Chichén Itzá, so we can presume it represents the Maya calendar. The light effect show (on the balustrade only as the snake's head is missing) takes place at the winter solstice. It is the same event as in Chichén Itzá, announcing a change of season, just at a different season (in Chichén it is during the spring and autumn equinoxes). This is enabled by nine platforms on the pyramid, which represent Xibalbá, the Underworld (afterlife, but also the beginning of life).
 
 
site has pic...a favorite site!...both these temples have the four stair cases, and a curio the one at Mayapan isn't built as well...Mayapan was a big town, an administrative center, populated by craft makers...pottery...and, I'm going nowhere with all this...sorta...I was reaching in my searches last night for the Gold Pectoral Headress's motifs...I found the date, the dates told by the A-O motif...one is 7 Flower, I think...and I wanted to know about the headdress, its motifs...and discovered there are like five more pectorals like the big one, which I learn is called the ball game pendant, or some such...it is really complicated...and, wait, 7 Flower was on of the five smaller pendants, which I've only found three...brb...

The Tomb 7 from Monte Albán is one of the richest burial sites ever encountered in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. The burial included hundreds of exotic objects made in precious materials. Top left: gold necklace. Bottom left: zoomorphic pendants. Top middle: Mictlantecuhtli pectoral with elaborate headdress (Ball game pectoral). Bottom middle: gold mask. Right: Pendant with dates. All artifacts in the Museum of the Cultures of Oaxaca (Mexico).

 
 
"Pendant with dates" should read 'pendants' I think...one of those is 7 Flower...something I learned about the date names...they can refer to a figure, or a place, or town/temple...and, this is kind of cool, if a figure in a codex painting has a speech motif coming out his mouth, the date name attached by that little line...recall that a date/name is number of dots with an icon of the day/year tethered to things with a line...the icon usually an animal or some such...no idea what the A-0 icon represents....so, with a date/name attached to speech bubble, one was to imagine a speech!, or story or something, by a particular story teller...oh, this all for sometime...and 7 Flower too for sometime...but I read said, the headdresses on the pectorals can be found in the Codexes, and murals, and on the heads of female supernaturals...Padres clawing back...'ball kissed the line'?...an appeal...three runs in the offing...no luck...but a run comes in on a hit batter...Dodgers 6-5...bases loaded...and the pectoral headdresses are all very similar...so there, a whole raft of motifs to maybe sort out!...puzzling over enigmas, the motifs, is a bit like doing crossword puzzles, except there is no certain answer, for us nowadays...the Mesoamericans must have understood their motifs, their whole culture a kind of over all motif, as easily as we can read, and understand ours...sorta...Machado up....3-1...ball four...Padres 6-6...Garcia walked?...don't know the players...Machado walked it seems...Renfrow up...K...to top of seventh...so, if my writing seems circuitous, it resembles the crosswords players musing, and back and forths to the dictionary...myself, I don't even attempt crossword puzzles...I'm fine with the enigmas/motifs, as I have a kind of memory for them...for sometime that too!...don't know but I shifted from quest puzzles and loot in World of Warcraft video game to grinding out motif enigmas!...both dehiblitatingly addictive!...youtube knows this!...dangling the Mystereons clips in our feed...ral...I carp about the hands that feed me!...noted last night I cant copy paste on the tablet from youtube comment threads...brb...

Neat clip...came by looking for modern replica illustrations of the miniature temples of the five niches mural...I found one on google search...mayapan murals...somehow this place links to the Puuk towns, and Monte Alban...there are the gold pectorals with similar headdresses...these said to be in the Mixtec codexes...try now to look at Mayapan censors...I gather lore about the motifs, which can be as small as an ear spool, to the layout of a town...or as explained here, the layout of one family's little ranchette..clip alludes that this layout, motif, alludes to the town layout, motif..allusions what motifs, and archaeologists, are made of!...clips' discussions limited by time, I understand...comment sections' seem to be limitless, but so frustratingly att phone help like!😕

lol...okay with windows laptop...just a tablet thing...together with my ignorance of how just to use the tables copy/paste features...another message in a bottle in the black void, that comment!...but it takes me to the next stepping stone....the incense censors...these are a marvel!...and I'm certain on one of them, I'll find the pectorals' headdress...for sometime...but looking at the burners, I happened on the descending Mayan god...a common motif...happened on a Mormon site that put a bunch of these found side by side...their reach that the motif of the descending god is Jesus come to the new word pre Columbus, in fact, at the time of Jesus...which harks to the Sufi masters said to be able to be in two places at once in legend...oh, the Mormon takes have merit, if one is Mormon, in belief, or sympathy...but then so does the Mystereons', who note the descending god is an astronaut...for sometime, what Pakal's falling depicted on his sarcophagus might have to do with the descending god...and, and what I find charming about the descending god, is he's thought to be a bee, or a wasp!...this having gone on about bees and Ephesus bee goddesse towards end of posts last season!...to top of eighth...same score...

The Descending God intrigued me from the first moment I came across his existence and he is, for sure, guilty for my passion for everything Maya. I came to Mexico because I wanted to see with my own eyes if it is possible that he represented an ancient astronaut (the extraterrestrials). Three years down the road and I am no wiser. I researched this fella but there are not many answers out there, just some speculation.
 
At Sayil the figure is found on a relief on El Palacio
 
At the moment, I rest my case. For me the simplest solution seems this. Venus was called by the Maya Xux Ek, which means in translation Wasp Star. So it is not a bee, or a Bee God, but a wasp.  So I will gladly accept that Venus was an avatar of  Quetzalcóatl (Kukulkán for the Maya), under the aspect of 'Morning Star'. It represents the descending Venus and it connected with the worship of Kukulkán.
If anybody out there has found any resolution, or even yet another speculation or theory, please let me know. This search and debate for the answer is ongoing.
 
 
 
good luck for a kindred!...end of May, the Mystereons are gathering in Palm Desert, Conclave in the Desert, or some such...brb...

hmmph...funds, and reason, don't permit a visit!...its expensive...just what is a 'conclave'...

quote

ConClave is an annual, weekend-long science fiction convention in southeastern/central Michigan, which draws approximately 600 people. ConClave attendees share an interest in science, science fiction, fantasy, and related genres. The ConClave convention has been held each year from 1976 to 2011, and again in 2013.

hmmph...I don't even know what a motif/enigma convention would be called...lots of banners...Sayil is a town in the Puuc mountains...where this is all headed...oh, for sometime earspools...nothing is inexact in the iconography...and I'm on the lookout for lookalike earspools!...the ones with the step frets notable!...in India they have made a replica, in a gesture of friendship with Mexico, of the one of the Puuk Towns' arches...brb...

quote



The site is a comparatively small and compact one. Among its notable structures is a large two-storey 'palace' ("El Palacio"), which is one of the longest contiguous structures in the Puuc region at approximately 120 m (393.7 ft) in length. From the palace, a ceremonial road (sacbe) extends to an elaborately decorated gateway arch ("El Arco").

Skully: It's impossible!
