the carcass of the lion and Samson ate some of their honey. Interestingly, the Pleiades have been associated with bees and honey in many cultures around the world. This is because they appear again above the horizon in the month of May, a time when flowers are in bloom and bees are active.
Researchers have noted that the Mayan Bacabs were also associated with bees and honey. For instance, the story of the destruction of the world by a great flood is told on page 74 in the Dreseden Codex. The Bacabs are also referenced on this page but is spelled in a slightly unusual way. It is spelled as bakabi instead of bakaba. In Mayan , kaabi means “bee/honey/hive” thus associating the Bacabs with bees and honey [142] and thus the Pleiades.
Finally, Samson’s name meant “man of the Sun” which was likely an allusion to the brightness of the fireball that resulted as the comet fragment entered the atmosphere. This recalls the eyewitness account from Tunguska which noted the meteor was as bright as the sun.
Thus we see many of these myths in the Old World and the New World seem to encode a struggle or battle between a comet and the sun in which the final outcome was a breakup and devastating impact event on Earth.
VI. The 2012 Prophecy
20. Decoding the Aztec Calendar Stone
The Aztec Calendar Stone was carved in 1427. The artisans included a wealth of information encoded on this stone about the Aztec belief in a cycle of cosmic destructions that had befallen Earth four times in the past. They believed we currently lived in the fifth such era or Fifth Sun and that this age would also be destroyed.
At the top of the Aztec Calendar Stone was the date 13 Reed, the date the Aztecs believed the Fourth Sun was destroyed by flood and the Fifth Sun was born. The date 13 Reed corresponded with the year 1011 AD in our Gregorian calendar.
In 1980, astronomer Anthony Aveni noted in his book Skywatchers of Ancient Mexico that there appeared to be star patterns or constellations carved into the flanges (i.e., the rock edges) of the Aztec Calendar Stone. In 1999 astronomer Robert S. McIvor published a paper in the Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada entitled “Star Patterns on the Aztec Calendar Stone” in which he hypothesized that one of these star patterns represented the Milk Ladle asterism (star group) located within the constellation Sagittarius and another represented three prominent stars in the constellation Aquila, the Eagle.
McIvor also noted that according to Chinese records, a “guest star” appeared near the Milk Ladle asterism (known to them as the asterism Nan-tou or the Rice Ladle) in 1011 AD. In Chinese astronomy a “guest star” represented any light in the night sky that appeared and disappeared over a short period of time such as a comet or super nova. McIvor theorized that the carving of both the 1011 AD date and the Milk Ladle asterism on the Aztec Calendar Stone possibly were connected to this Chinese “guest star” event.
What message did the Aztecs intend to send by encoding all of this information (the date 1011 AD, the Milk Ladle asterism from the Sagittarius constellation, and three stars from the Aquila constellation) on the Aztec Calendar Stone? And what type of “guest star” did the Chinese spot near the Milk Ladle in 1011 AD: a comet, super nova or something else entirely?
In 1997, physicist Paul A. LaViolette wrote a book entitled Earth Under Fire . In this book he theorized that the intense radio source at the direct center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A, was a star not a black hole and periodically it had enormous outbursts of energy and matter called a galactic superwave. We know such outbursts occur at the centers of other galaxies. Coincidentally, Sagittarius A and the center of the Galaxy appear in our night sky near the Milk Ladle asterism in the constellation Sagittarius.
