After profound experiences in Mayan ceremonial centers, I began to seriously question some commonly used ideas concerning the Mayan calendar. When we ask ourselves how the indigenous peoples of Earth keep track of the seasons, we come to a natural conclusion.
All indigenous cultures are solar in origin and follow the solstices and equinoxes.
Many have built profound and complex structures, utilizing advanced geometry and astronomy, to map these cycles. The equinoxes and solstices makes perfect sense, as anyone could validate these by simply going outside and ascertaining for themselves. From the Sun Dagger in Chaco Canyon, to the Temple of the Sun in Peru, the indigenous peoples are definitely giving us a BIG clue about the importance of the natural timing of the equinoxes and solstices. During the 1995 equinox, a key piece to the puzzle was shared with me. With the moon and Venus still visible, the Sun rose slowly in the east, illuminating the length of the Sacbe, a sacred road of light.
