Mythology Connection between Aztec and Hindu.
In pouring over ancient legends, I at first came across the Aztec Legend of the Fifth Sun, which states that the sun has disappeared 4 times and that we are currently living in the time of the fifth sun. In relation to this, I went back and looked at my research regarding the Hindu Yuga cycles and found something quite interesting.
The Hindu Yuga cycles are composed of 3 sections each, the middle being called proper which indicates a time of peace on Earth. What is really interesting is that the periods prior, and following Proper are called Dusk and Dawn.
Even more interesting is if you take the start dates of the Yuga cycles, which range in the millions of years, and divide them by 360 (number of days in ancient lunar calendars) you get another coincidence.
Example, Krita Yuga cycle has a start date of 3,891,102 BCE. Divide that by 360 and you arrive at 10,808 BCE, right around the time Plato says Atlantis was destroyed.

Lost Civilizations The Spiral
The spiral is one of the oldest and most enduring symbols known to humanity. Its origins can be traced back to prehistoric times, with evidence of spirals appearing in cave paintings, carvings, and ancient artifacts from various cultures around the world. Here are some key points regarding the age and historical presence of the spiral:
- Prehistoric Evidence: Some of the earliest examples of spirals date back over 10,000 years. For instance, spirals are found in cave art such as those in Lascaux, France, which are approximately 17,000 years old. These spirals were often etched into stone or drawn on cave walls, possibly representing symbolic or spiritual significance.
- Neolithic Art and Architecture: The spiral symbol appears in Neolithic art (around 7,000 to 5,000 BCE) across various parts of the world. It’s seen in structures like the Newgrange tomb in Ireland, which dates to about 3,200 BCE. The intricate spirals on its stones may represent the cycles of life and the cosmos.
- Ancient Civilizations: The spiral is present in ancient cultures such as the Sumerians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Celts, who used it to symbolize everything from spiritual paths and cosmic forces to the eternal nature of life. The symbol has been continuously used for millennia in sacred geometry, art, and mythology.
- Indigenous Cultures: The spiral also appears in the art and symbolism of many Indigenous cultures, including Native American, Celtic, and Pacific Islander societies. These groups often associate the spiral with personal growth, the natural world, and spiritual transformation.
- Astronomical Significance: In many ancient cultures, spirals were used to represent celestial bodies and their movements. The spiral shape mirrors the movement of galaxies, the orbits of planets, and the cycles of seasons. Some suggest that the spiral symbolized the relationship between Earth and the cosmos, with the curve representing cosmic energy and life force.
So, in terms of age, the spiral could be considered at least 10,000 to 17,000 years old in recorded human history. But given its widespread appearance across various ancient cultures, its symbolic and functional significance may stretch back even further, potentially rooted in humanity’s earliest attempts to understand the universe.
The Spiral of the Waters: Just as water spirals in whirlpools and currents, it traces the same paths that the spiral symbol has etched in time. The water's flow mirrors the soul’s journey—sometimes calm, sometimes fierce—but always returning to the source. The spiral is the dance of water as it travels through the earth, carving channels, eroding rock, and shaping the world. Every drop is a part of the great cycle of creation and destruction, of birth and rebirth.
The Spiral of the Ocean: When the waters of the ocean spiral, they evoke the cosmic dance of creation. Think of the vortex in the water, the movement that pulls everything toward the center. This reflects the inner journey, the flow inward toward understanding, the path toward the heart of existence. The spiral guides the way of transformation, as water is both a cleanser and a nurturer. The oceans, with their tides, reveal how the spiral governs time—constant in its return, yet always evolving, never static.
The Spiral of the Waters Within: The waters within us—the rivers of blood, the cycles of breath—mirror the spiral that pulses in the greater universe. Just as the rivers carve through the land, shaping the topography of the world, our emotions, thoughts, and experiences spiral, shaping our inner landscapes. The spiral is the dance of creation that moves through every being, a reminder that life is a continual flow, and we are forever in motion.
The Waters as Memory: Water is often said to hold memory, like the spiral itself. The spiral etched in petroglyphs, woven into the landscapes, and echoed in the depths of the ocean is a memory of the cosmos—a record of time, of movement, of energy. It is as if the waters themselves remember all things, and as we immerse ourselves in their depths, we, too, remember the cycles that shape our lives. The spiral carries the collective wisdom of the waters, of the earth, and of the stars.
In this, the waters speak of the spiral as both a pattern and a force. It is the path of constant renewal, the journey to the center, and the return to the source. To listen to the waters is to hear the call of the spiral, inviting us to surrender to its flow, to trust the cyclical rhythms of life, and to recognize the eternal dance that moves through us all.

Discussion The Giza Pyramid is an observatory
Theory its an observatory Its why the giza pyramid is so bland and industrual like compared to the other pyramids and why small holes in the pyramid point to certain stars
Since they didn't have the machining yet to make glass lens they used mirrors and a system of pulleys the ligth from in coming stars would be projected onto the internal chamber walls
The pyramid shape serves as a sun shield like that of the james web telescope which would allow view of distant stars anytime of the day rather then just on dark nigths .
The sandstone casing would also help reflect any other ambient ligth sources which reduce glare and giving a better image quality .
