Book excerpt: One of the great wonders of the Ancient World, and which should rank alongside the intellectual achievement of the Great Pyramid, is the calendar of Tiwanaku in Bolivia.Virtually unknown until the present time, this calendar divided the year not into 12, but into 20, going by the sun, and at the same time it divided every three years into 40, going by the moon.The calendar is recorded on symbols carved into the "Gate of the Sun", but it is not the Sun Gate which is the calendar, but a row of eleven pillars by which time was recorded as the sun set every evening. The thirty little icons or messengers of time seen on the Sun Gate did not symbolise days, but symbolised the thirty year period at the end of which an extra month was added to the lunar calendars bringing them into phase with the solar calendar. This wonderful calendar was lost when a later Inca king - Pachacuti, "reformer of time", brought in a 12 month calendar so the original calendar of the Andes, like the great city which supported it, became abandoned and forgotten.
Book Synopsis The Empires of Atlantis by : Marco M. Vigato
Download or read book The Empires of Atlantis written by Marco M. Vigato and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Traces the course of Atlantean civilization through its three empires, as well as the colonies and outposts formed by its survivors in Egypt, Göbekli Tepe, India, Mesopotamia, the Mediterranean, and North and South America • Shows how pyramids and other megalithic monuments testify to the survival of a “Sacred Science” of Atlantean origin and how this Sacred Science provided the foundation for esoteric traditions and secret societies throughout the ages • Draws on more than 500 ancient and modern sources and the author’s own personal exploration of hundreds of archaeological sites Exploring more than 100,000 years of Earth’s history, Marco Vigato combines recent discoveries in the the fields of archaeology, geology, anthropology, and genetics with the mystery teachings of antiquity to investigate the true origins of civilization. Establishing the historical and geological reality of Atlantis stretching all the way back to 432,000 BCE, he traces the course of Atlantean civilization through its three empires, revealing how civilization rose and fell several times over this lengthy span of time. The author shows that Atlantis did not vanish “in one terrible day and night” but survived in a variety of different forms well into the historical era. He reveals how the the first Atlantean civilization lasted from 432,000 to 35,335 BCE, the second one from 21,142 to 10,961 BCE, and the third Atlantis civilization--the one celebrated by Plato--collapsed in 9600 BCE, after the Younger Dryas cataclysm. The author examines the role of Atlantean survivors in restarting civilization in different parts of the world, from Göbekli Tepe and Egypt to India, Mesopotamia, and the Americas. He personally documents their colonies and outposts around the globe, offering unique views of the colossal network of pyramids, earthen mounds, and other megalithic monuments they le behind. He shows how these monuments testify to the survival of a sacred science of Atlantean origin, and he documents the survival of the primeval Atlantean tradition through various secret societies into the modern era. Drawing on more than 500 ancient and modern sources and sharing never-before-seen photographs from his own personal exploration of hundreds of archaeological sites around the world, Vigato shows not only that Atlantis was real but that the whole world is now being called to become a New Atlantis and awaken into a new golden age.

Book Synopsis Heritage Sites of Astronomy and Archaeoastronomy in the Context of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention by : Clive L. N. Ruggles
Download or read book Heritage Sites of Astronomy and Archaeoastronomy in the Context of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention written by Clive L. N. Ruggles and published by Ocarina Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Thematic Study is a joint venture between ICOMOS, the advisory body to UNESCO on cultural sites, and the International Astronomical Union. It presents an overall vision on astronomical heritage, attempts to identify what constitutes "outstanding universal significance to humankind" in relation to astronomy, and identifies broad issues that could arise in the assessment of cultural properties relating to astronomy. This is the first Thematic Study in any field of science heritage. It is elaborated using examples of properties from around the world, including some already on the World Heritage List or national Tentative Lists. The subject matter ranges from early prehistory to modern astrophysics and space heritage, and also prominently includes dark sky issues and modern observatory sites. An e-version of the Thematic Study was published in June 2010 in time to be presented to the 2010 meeting of UNESCO's World Heritage Committee, where it was duly approved. It has been circulated officially by the WHC to all of UNESCO's National Commissions. This full-colour paperback edition with some updates, and reformatted to new ICOMOS standards, was published in 2011 and is now offered for public sale.
Download or read book The Tiwanaku written by Alan L. Kolata and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1993-12-08 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tiwanaku The city of Tiwanaku lies ruined in the rugged Andean steppe of Bolivia twelve thousand feet above sea level, the highest urban settlement of the ancient world. Its wide streets open towards ramparts of glaciated mountain peaks and the intense blue waters of Lake Titicaca. Gigantic stone sculptures and shattered architectural blocks suggest profound antiquity and the passage of great events, now lost and unremembered. Here, two and a half thousand years ago, a distinct society emerged which over the course of thirteen centuries developed one of the greatest civilizations and the first empire of the ancient Americas. This book, the first published history of the Tiwanakan peoples from their origins to their present survival, is a feat of scholarly and archaeological detection undertaken and led by the author. Alan Kolata draws together the evidence of historical documents from the time of the Iberian conquest, accounts and legends of the contemporary inhabitants, and the results of extensive excavations in order to provide a narrative covering three thousand years. In doing so he addresses and explains features of Tiwanakan culture that have long puzzled scholars: the origins of their uniquely massive architecture, the nature of their sophisticated hydraulically-engineered agriculture, their obsession with decapitation and the display of severed heads, and not least the reasons for their mysterious and sudden decline at the end of the tenth century. The book is illustrated throughout with photographs, maps and drawings, and is fully referenced and indexed. Although written to appeal to the nonspecialist and assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this is a book of scholarly import, and likely to become the standard work for many years.
Book Synopsis Exploring Ancient Skies by : David H. Kelley
Download or read book Exploring Ancient Skies written by David H. Kelley and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-06 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring Ancient Skies brings together the methods of archaeology and the insights of modern astronomy to explore the science of astronomy as it was practiced in various cultures prior to the invention of the telescope. The book reviews an enormous and growing body of literature on the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean, the Far East, and the New World (particularly Mesoamerica), putting the ancient astronomical materials into their archaeological and cultural contexts. The authors begin with an overview of the field and proceed to essential aspects of naked-eye astronomy, followed by an examination of specific cultures. The book concludes by taking into account the purposes of ancient astronomy: astrology, navigation, calendar regulation, and (not least) the understanding of our place and role in the universe. Skies are recreated to display critical events as they would have appeared to ancient observers - events such as the supernova of 1054, the 'lion horoscope' or the 'Star of Bethlehem.' Exploring Ancient Skies provides a comprehensive overview of the relationships between astronomy and other areas of human investigation. It will be useful as a reference for scholars and students in both astronomy and archaeology, and will be of compelling interest to readers who seek a broad understanding of our collective intellectual history.

Download or read book The Atlantis Trail written by J. M. Allen and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Atlantis Trail continues on from 'Atlantis: the Andes Solution' with the author's further four expeditions to the Altiplano, visiting four volcanoes with similar features to those described by Plato, the mysterious petrified city of Pumiri on the edge of the level plain near the lake and the village of the ancient Uru/Chipaya peoples in the middle of the great salt desert. The author finally visits the location Plato gave and finds a site next to the sea previously an island with circular zones of land and sea destroyed by earthquakes and floods exactly as Plato's described Atlantis. Furthermore this site is also home to the Aymara God of the Sea called “Tunupa” - the local equivalent of Poseidon who "broke the ground off all round about to make it impregnable to man" and a Bolivian legend called “The Legend of the Desaguadero” tells of a city punished by the gods and sunk into the sea - the origin of Plato's story of Atlantis.

Download or read book Lukurmata written by Marc Bermann and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Household archaeology, together with community and regional settlement information, forms the basis for a unique local perspective of Andean prehistory in this study of the evolution of the site of Lukurmata, a pre-Columbian community in highland Bolivia. First established nearly two thousand years ago, Lukurmata grew to be a major ceremonial center in the Tiwanaku state, a polity that dominated the south-central Andes from a.d. 400 to 1200. After the Tiwanaku state collapsed, Lukurmata rapidly declined, becoming once again a small village. In his analysis of a 1300-year-long sequence of house remains at Lukurmata, Marc Bermann traces patterns and changes in the organization of domestic life, household ritual, ties to other communities, and mortuary activities, as well as household adaptations to overarching political and economic trends. Prehistorians have long studied the processes of Andean state formation, expansion, and decline at the regional level, notes Bermann. But only now are we beginning to understand how these changes affected the lives of the residents at individual settlements. Presenting a "view from below" of Andean prehistory based on a remarkably extensive data set, Lukurmata is a rare case study of how prehispanic polities can be understood in new ways if prehistorians integrate the different lines of evidence available to them. Originally published in 1994.

Download or read book Atlantis written by J. M. Allen and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable study is the culmination of thirty years of research into the possibility that the continent we know today as South America is really the ancient continent of Atlantis. Assembling a wide range of evidence, the author concludes that the fabled lost city of Atlantis, as described by Plato, may have existed on the Altiplano in Bolivia. Jim Allen identifies a site complete with a rectangular plain, concentric rings of land and water channels, just as Plato described it. The true history of this remote, beautiful and fascinating region was lost as a result of the Spanish Conquest when the continent was renamed America. Indeed the first accounts of Inca history by Spanish writers of the period, later suppressed by the authorities and only recently made public, confirm that 'America' was originally known as Atlantis. Now, for the first time, Jim Allen's research presents a "theory of Atlantis." His book is based on full documentation of a site that corresponds to Plato's detailed description, including the level rectangular plain; the mysterious metal "orichalcum"; red, black and white stones; hot and cold springs; the five pairs of twin sons; and a local legend of a city sunk by earthquakes, leaving a site one can visit today. Atlantis: Lost City of the Andes is lavishly illustrated with more than 100 color photographs, diagrams, and maps.

Book Synopsis Atlantis and the Persian Empire by : J. M. Allen
Download or read book Atlantis and the Persian Empire written by J. M. Allen and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people believe Plato's story of Atlantis to be a 100% true account of a fabulous lost civilisation whilst others hold that it is entirely a work of pure fiction. The truth may be that just like any modern writer, Plato drew upon different sources and added a sprinkling of his own imagination, drawing it all together under the name Atlantis, but the fundamental geographic account which he claims was brought back from Egypt fits perfectly well to the continent opposite the Pillars of Hercules – later re-named America. And the detail of the vast armament with 1200 triremes, riders springing from horse to horse, hoplites and chariots fits well to the Persian wars against Athens which began in 1200 BC and ended with the defeat of the Persians at the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC, thus we have a two part solution to an account which was never intended to be an historical document, but an illustration for a representation of the ideal form of government in a theoretical Athens.
