Ancient Mohenjo-daro seals give start of Maya calendar as December 12, 3105 BC that ends on March 29, 2022!

 

Space.com: Venus Can Have 'Comet-Like' Atmosphere by Miriam Kramer. The planet Venus sometimes looks less like a planet and more like a comet, scientists say. When the solar wind dies down, an outer layer of Venus's atmosphere billows outward, making the second planet from the sun look like a comet.

 

It only takes 30 to 60 minutes for the planet's comet-like tail to form after the solar wind dies down. Researchers observed the ionosphere stretch to at least 7,521 miles (or 12,104 kilometers) from the planet…

 

Earth's ionosphere never becomes comet-like largely because the planet has its own magnetic field that balances out the sun's influence on the way the atmospheric layer is shaped. Venus, however, doesn't have its own magnetic field and is therefore subject to the whims of the sun's solar wind.

The amount of solar wind Venus receives follows the inverse square law, meaning it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between Venus and the Sun. Thus, Venus’ comet tail would have been more spectacular if it is located farther from the Sun.

Worlds in Collision is a book by Immanuel Velikovsky published in 1950. The book postulates that the planet Venus was a comet or comet-like object and passed near Earth (although an actual collision is not mentioned). According to Velikovsky: "Venus was expelled as a comet and then changed to a planet after contact with a number of members of our solar system". And that: “electrical discharges took place between Venus, Mars, and the Earth when, in very close contacts, their atmospheres touched each other”.

Now believe it or not, Velikovsky was not the first to describe Venus as a comet exhibiting electrical discharges. This alleged phenomenon was actually first reported in the Mahabharata, a Sanskrit epic of ancient India which narrates the struggle between two groups of cousins in the Kurukshetra War. And I believe this took place at the same time the current Maya Long Count calendar that lasts 13 bʼakʼtuns or 1,872,000 days started.

Mahabharata Bhishma Parva Section III. 14 “Oh King, Sukra [or Venus] has entered purva-prostapada, going around uttara-prostapada and is rising in both.” 

15 “Syama graha [or dark blue planet] is luminous and together with dhurna [or smoke] and pavaka [or fire of lightning] has crossed over to Jyeshta [or Scorpio], the bright asterism ruled by [the god] Indra.”

The Sanskrit word “purva” means former or previous while the Sanskrit word “uttara” means following or subsequent. For Venus to enter purva-prostapada after going around uttara-prostapada simply means Venus went into retrograde motion after passing by uttara-prostapada. 

Now there are only 3 nakshatras or Hindu constellations that use these Sanskrit prefixes in their names, namely phalguna, ashadha, and bhadrapada. So which one of these 3 constellations was prostapada? The nearest constellation to Jyeshta or Scorpius which Venus entered after moving in retrograde motion among these constellations is ashadha which corresponds to Sagittarius. 

So my conclusion is that purva-prostapada corresponds to purva-ashadha  [represented by the stars Delta and Epsilon Sagittarii] and uttara-prostapada corresponds to uttara-ashadha [represented by the stars Zeta and Sigma Sagittarii].

 

Sukra is a Sanskrit word that means "clear" or "bright". In medieval mythology and Hindu astrology, this term refers to the planet Venus. Quite mysteriously, Sukra or Venus (which appears  yellowish white in the human eye) was called “syama graha” which means dark blue planet in verse 15 instead. And this oxymoron was explained by the association of dhurna [smoke] and pavaka [fire of lightning] with Sukra which caused Venus to appear dark bluish. 

There are three types of lightning, and while all types of lightning can be dangerous, the most dangerous type of lightning is Bolt from the Blue lightning. This type of lightning strike is incredibly dangerous due to the fact that they can strike at any time. Bolt from the Blue lightning doesn’t need to originate from a thunderstorm overhead. They can travel from their parent storm and travel vast distances before striking the ground.

Thus it was Bolt from Blue Lightning that took place and travelled vast distances between Venus, Mars, and the Earth when, in very close contacts, their atmospheres touched each other.

Note that in verse 11 of the Mahabharata Bhishma Parva Section III, Sukra or Venus was called Sveta graha or white planet while it was still in conjunction with Citra or the star Spica of the constellation Virgo. And this was before it crossed over the constellation Jyeshta or Scorpio as mentioned a while ago in verse 15: 

Mahabharata Bhishma Parva Section III. 11 “The Earth is experiencing tremors intermittently and Rahu has seized the Sun. Svetagraha has transgressed Citra…”

This means the once electric comet Venus came closest to Earth when it crossed over Scorpio which is where its color turned from white to dark blue due to the bluish electrical discharges that took place between Venus and Earth when their atmospheres touched each other. 

This closest contact between Venus and Earth coincided when Venus was also between Earth and the Sun, or during its inferior conjunction, which explains why its motion was retrograde coming from Sagittarius towards Scorpio after already crossing Virgo, Scorpio, and Sagittarius in direct motion. As retrograde cycles of inner planets like Venus and Mercury are tied to their inferior conjunctions with the Sun.

 

The transformation of Venus from an electric comet having a long periodic orbit taking thousands of years into a regular planet that can be seen regularly in the sky throughout the year can be considered its birth, or the start of a calendar that is based on the phases or planetary cycles of Venus. And this is why I believe the current Maya Long Count calendar started on the day when Venus transformed from a comet into a planet, as many researchers have noted that the Mayans developed their calendric system based on a close correlation of the Moon and Venus orbits.

So did the ancient astronomers leave a record of this grand and momentous event? Fortunately for us, the answer is yes! And this astronomical find was the Pashupati Seal uncovered in the 1928–29 excavations of the Indus Valley Civilisation site of Mohenjo-daro, in Pakistan.

The seal depicts a seated figure that is possibly tricephalic (having three heads). The man has a horned headdress and is surrounded by animals. However, Pashupati in whose name the seal in Mohenjo-daro was named, is an incarnation of the Hindu destroyer god Shiva who has 5 heads and not 3. This is why other authors, like Abhyankar, in his book “Astronomical significance to two Mohenjodaro seals” associate the seated figure with Prajapati Brahma instead who has 4 heads with his 4th head hidden behind the front head.

In the RgVeda myth, Prajapati (Lord of Generation and eventually associated with Brahma "The Creator") took on the form of an antelope and approached his daughter, Usas, whom he desired. Since their act was against the order of nature, an archer aimed his arrow at Prajapati who in fear exclaimed, “I make you Lord of the Animals. Leave me.” The archer, named Rudra, who in Brahminical Hinduism becomes Shiva, then gains lordship over the animals. 

Thus, it was Prajapati who was the original Lord of the Animals, before this title was taken away by Shiva who shot and killed him with an arrow that severed one of his 5 heads leaving him with 4. Having made my point I will be calling this seal the Prajapati Brahma seal instead of the Pashupati seal from now on onwards.

And, this would explain why this Mohenjo-daro seal shows an arrow (representing Shiva’s arrow) at the seated deity’s right side which is also at the left corner of the seal impression. The 4 animals surrounding him at the 4 corners of his throne depict his Lordship of the Animals, and the antelope at the bottom of his throne represents the form he took just before he was shot by Shiva’s arrow.  

If we now look at the sky and view Sagittarius, the archer centaur constellation, we can see that the Scorpio constellation is located at its right side. And if we now  interpret the Mohenjo-daro seal astronomically, one can say that Prajapati’s throne was located at Scorpio, which is to the right of the aimed arrow of Sagittarius.

And if you still remember, I mentioned earlier in this video that the once electric comet Venus came closest to Earth when it was seen in the sky crossing over Scorpio in retrograde motion coming from Sagittarius. 

It was also when Venus was seen in Scorpio that the interchange of bluish electrical discharges between Venus and Earth took place when their atmospheres touched, violently repelling Venus away from the Earth and taking it closer to the Sun coming from 1 astronomical unit to just 0.722 astronomical unit (a difference of about 41,588,208 kms). And since comet Venus came closer to the Sun  almost instantly than its original orbit took it, Venus was then captured by the Sun’s gravity and transformed comet Venus into a regular planet.

Thus Prajapati sitting on his throne in the Mohenjo-daro seal represents comet Venus being captured and restricted in its current orbit or “throne” around the Sun. While the arrow beside him represents the electric force that made this happen. 

So when did this event take place, which also marks the start of the current Maya Long Count calendar of 13 bʼakʼtuns or 1,872,000 days? To answer this question we must analyze another seal, known as the sacrifice seal, which was also found at the Mohenjo-daro excavation site.

The following is a description of this seal:

Seal depicting a deity with horned headdress and bangles on both arms, standing in a pipal (sacred fig) tree and looking down on a kneeling worshiper. A human head rests on a small stool. A giant ram and seven figures in procession complete the narrative. The figures wear a single plumed headdress, bangles on both arms and long skirts.

The peepal tree is believed to be the abode of lord Yama, the Hindu god of death and of the departed ancestors. Offerings made at its roots are believed to reach them. According to the Vedas, Yama is said to have been the first mortal who died. By virtue of precedence, he became a god and the ruler of the departed. Kalantaka is an aspect of the Hindu god Shiva as the Conqueror of Time and Death, itself personified by Yama, and wherein Shiva is depicted as defeating or killing the god Yama.

Thus Prajapati and Yama share the following aspects in their lives: firstly, both deities were killed by Shiva, secondly, Prajapati was the first deity who died while Yama was the first mortal who died, and thirdly, Prajapati was said to have swallowed death, while Yama became the god of death. It is therefore my personal belief that the mortal Yama was the rebirth of the slain Prajapati who became the god of death after the mortal Yama died.

Consequently, the head resting on a small stool or altar shown in the seal must represent the severed 5th head of Brahma, who is associated with Prajapati. Shiva is usually shown carrying the fifth head of Brahma around and this is based on the parallel story of Prajapati’s beheading by Rudra that involved Brahma’s beheading by Shiva instead.

God Brahma was creating 10 men and a woman, named Satarupa... he [Brahma] was attracted towards Satarupa. Annoyed by the infatuated gaze of God Brahma, she moved to his left and a new head appeared on the left to stare at her.

When she ran in all the 4 directions, 4 heads appeared to [be] amorous at her. Suddenly she sprang above his head and instantly, the 5th head appeared above all the 4 heads. To escape from his starring, she sought the help of Lord Shiva.

Satarupa is considered as the daughter of Lord Brahma, as HE was the one who created her. Therefore, Lord Shiva was furious by the act of the creator of the world and severed the 5th head.

There is an episode in the Indian epic poem the Mahabharata that tells of king Yudhishtira being visited by Yama. This account was written in the Mahabharata Book 3: Vana Parna sections 311 and 312. Yudhishthira was one of the 5 Pandava brothers who led the Kurukshetra war against their cousins, the Kauravas, for the throne of Hastinapura. I believe Yudhishtira was the kneeling worshipper depicted in the Mohenjo-daro sacrifice seal.

One of the forms Yama took shortly before he appeared to Yudhishtira was that of a deer. And if you still recall, Prajapati also took the form of an antelope before being shot down by Shiva’s arrow. This I believe further confirms my claim that Prajapati and Yama are one and the same deity. 

Looking at the sacrifice seal, it is apparent that the type of deer Yama took when he visited Yudhishtira was that of a Blue wildebeest known for their dark brown, vertical stripes that mark the area between the neck and the back of the ribcage and which were clearly depicted in the seal. 

Now who were the seven figures in procession wearing a single plumed headdress with bangles on both arms and having long skirts? In every ancient civilization heavenly bodies were looked upon as gods, and there are hundreds of mythological stories concerning planets that were represented as deities. I believe the seven figures in procession represented 7 celestial bodies with apparent motion (symbolized by their lifted feet) that converged under one constellation.

On December 12, 3105 BC there was a tight convergence of the Sun, the Moon, and 5 planets: namely Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn, and Jupiter in the constellation Capricorn. During this convergence, Venus can be seen at the border between Scorpio and Sagittarius. And if you still recall, it was when the then comet Venus entered Scorpio in retrograde motion coming from Sagittarius that comet Venus became planet Venus.

Regarding Neptune, did ancient Vedic astronomers know about this planet? And if so, how long ago did ancient Vedic astronomers discover Neptune?

[There is] an ancient Vasishta Nadi palm leaf in a museum in Madras, India, which predicted that three important grahas or planets would be discovered by the jyotishis [or astronomers] of the Kali Yuga. The great seer Vasishtha was the author of a number of hymns in the Rg Veda (dated circa 3000 BC) and was considered a great priest of the kings. According to the ancient palm leaf the names of the grahas or planets would be Prajapati, Varuna, and Yama.

Of the outer planets beyond Saturn, only Uranus can be glimpsed as a naked-eye object by people who are blessed with good eyesight, a clear, dark sky, as well as a forehand knowledge of exactly where to look for it. Therefore Uranus must have been known by ancient astronomers since time immemorial.

I already discussed how the seal depicting Prajapati sitting in his throne represented comet Venus’ capture in its current orbit as a planet. And therefore planet Venus, or Prajapati, was a relatively new discovery for these ancient astronomers. 

In the Hindu Puranas, Varuna is the god of oceans and therefore can easily represent Neptune where scientists think there might be an ocean of super hot water under its cold clouds. This super hot water does not boil away because incredibly high pressure in Neptune keeps it locked inside. 

And this leaves us with the dwarf planet Pluto being represented by Yama, the Hindu god of death and the underworld. It was probably just a coincidence, or maybe not, that this dwarf planet was named by modern scientists to the ruler of the underworld in Greek mythology.

A copper casting of a human head styled in the manner described for Vashishtha was discovered in 1958 in Delhi. This piece has been dated to around 3700 BC, plus or minus 800 years, in three western universities. So Vashishtha’s prediction of 3 new planets being discovered could have been fulfilled by December 12, 3105 BC, or the date of planetary convergence in Capricorn depicted in the Mohenjo-daro sacrifice seal.

According to Chaldaean and Platonist philosophy, Capricorn represents the ‘Gate of the Gods’ where souls of the departed ascend back to heaven. And as 'the Gate of the Gods' Capricorn was favoured for times of sacrifice, and in the zodiacs of Denderah and Esna Egypt, where it is depicted by a goat-fish, it is called Hu-penius, meaning 'the place of sacrifice'. 

Thus my assumption is, the depiction in the sacrifice seal of a deity looking down on a worshipper on the day of planetary convergence in Capricorn may have started this tradition. This assumption is further reinforced by the representation in the seal of what I believe was a rectangular door having vertical and horizontal cross lines. Could this door be ‘the Gate of the Gods’ in Capricorn?

The Prajapati-Brahma seal depicting the shooting with an arrow of this deity near Scorpius, has its counterpart in the Classic Mayan bird-shooting scenes on pottery that portrays the shooting of the Principal Bird Deity. 

Depending on interpretation this deity can either be Vucub-Caquix, the name of a bird demon which means 'seven-Macaw', or Itzamna, a generally venerated creator god. According to some scholars, and contrary to popular interpretation, the bird is clearly not a macaw, and instead of being perched in a tree, it can even assume the shape of a heron or cormorant-like bird seated on the waters (of a lake). 

It is interesting to note that in his appearance before king Yudhishtira near a lake, the form taken by Yama (the Hindu god of death) who I claim to be Prajapati-Brahma (the Hindu god of creation), was that of a crane which is a bird quite similar in appearance to a heron. 

My conclusion is that Prajapati-Brahma (a creator god) is the Hindu counterpart of Itzamna (who is also a creator god). However, in the Maya version of the story, Itzamna was shot with a blowgun (instead of an arrow) by Hun-Ahpu (the Maya counterpart of Shiva). Hun-Ahpu was later elevated to become the Maya sun god after eliminating Itzamna, the Principal Bird Deity who also wanted this title for himself. 

Now what is mind blowing to me is the figure of a scorpion near the “tree” or lake (as other scholars interpret it) where the Principal Bird Deity was shot. This is a clear depiction of Prajapati-Brahma, represented by the former comet Venus, being shot with blue lightning and turning it into a very slow rotating planet while it was seen near Scorpio! 

Also, Hun-Ahpu aiming his blowgun is for me an alternate depiction of Sagittarius aiming his arrow beside Scorpio. And the glyph that scholars interpret as either a tree or a lake can well be the peepal tree where Yudhishtira worshipped Yama in the form of a crane near a lake. 

Now the Tortuguero monument connects the end of the 13th bʼakʼtun with the appearance of Bʼolon Yokteʼ. One inscription, known as the Tortuguero Monument 6, is the only inscription known to refer to bʼakʼtun 13 in any detail. It has been partially defaced;

It will be completed the 13th bʼakʼtun... and it will happen a 'seeingʼ[?]. It is the display of Bʼolon-Yokte' in a great "investiture".

Very little is known about the god Bʼolon Yokteʼ. In one stele or Maya monument he is portrayed with a rope or noose tied around his neck, and in another with an incense bag, together signifying a sacrifice to end a cycle of years. 

Pasha, often translated as "noose" or "lasso", is a supernatural weapon depicted in Hindu iconography. Yama, the god of death and the underworld, uses the Pasha to extract a soul from a being's body at the time of death. 

Bolon Yokte, who is closely associated with war, conflict, and the underworld, is also a god that is often present during creation events. Thus Bolon Yokte can be viewed as the amalgamation of Yama, god of the underworld, and Prajapati Brahma, god of creation. 

And if you still recall, I claimed earlier that Yama and Prajapati Brahma are actually one and the same deity. And now I am claiming that Bolon Yokte is also Itzamna, who will come at the end of the 13th baktun and be seen in a great investiture as the new Maya sun god, a title taken away from him by Hun-Ahpu.

But wait there's more, Quetzalcoatl is a deity of ancient Mesoamerican culture whose name in its literal sense means 'serpent of precious feathers'. He was related to gods of the wind, and of the planet Venus. Quetzalcoatl’s relation to feathers and the wind associates him with Itzamnna, the Principal Bird Deity. And if you still recall, the Hindu god Prajapati Brahma was represented by the planet Venus, and this makes Quetzalcoatl his Maya counterpart. So Bolon Yokte, who is Itzamna, is also Quetzalcoatl.

Tezcatlipoca was often described as a rival of Quetzalcoatl. In one version of the Aztec creation account: the myth of the Five Suns, the first creation, "The Sun of the Earth" was ruled by Tezcatlipoca but destroyed by Quetzalcoatl when he struck down Tezcatlipoca. Quetzalcoatl became the ruler of the second creation "Sun of Water", as well as the third, "The Sun of Wind". Tezcatlipoca destroyed the third creation by striking down Quetzalcoatl. Clearly, Tezcatlipoca is the Maya counterpart of Shiva, the eternal rival of Prajapati Brahma. And this makes Tezcatlipoca one and the same as Hun-Ahpu who used a blow gun to strike down Itzamna, the Maya counterpart of Prajapati Brahma.

Now there is a strong tradition of "world ages" in Maya literature similar to the 4 Yugas or epochs in Hinduism each of which is a complete cycle of cosmic creation and destruction. According to the Popol Vuh, a compilation of the creation accounts of the Kʼicheʼ Maya of the Colonial-era highlands, we are living in the fourth world. 

The Popol Vuh describes the gods first creating three failed worlds, followed by a successful fourth world in which humanity was placed. In the Maya Long Count, the previous world ended after 13 bʼakʼtuns, or exactly 1,872,000 days. Using a date calculator, one gets March 29, 2022 as the much anticipated and dreaded end of the fourth world, and hopefully the beginning of the fifth. That is if we take December 12, 3105 BC as the start of the Maya Long Count calendar and the fourth world.
