A Mayan priest observer first notices Venus at
point A in the west as an evening star. The sunset heliacal
rising occurs slightly before sunset and represents the birth of
Venus. Heliacal rising occurs on the fourth day of each synodic
period of the planet. Like the sun god Ra of Egypt at dawn,
Quetzalcoatl begins to grow up. The moving planet spectacle
grows brighter and brighter between superior and inferior
conjunctions, averaging 263-days as an evening star in the west.
Venus attains maximum brightness in the prime of Quetzalcoatl’s
life.
Venus moves rapidly near the earth at point
B, which seemingly causes Quetzalcoatl to die. Venus travels
between the Earth and the Sun to obtain inferior conjunction
with the Sun and for a brief time Venus cannot be seen because
of the brightness of the Sun. Quetzalcoatl dwells behind the
sun in the underworld for 4-days. Another 4-days pass before
point C, during which time legend claims the god was bony and
weak. Quetzalcoatl returns to the living when Venus
miraculously reappears on the right side as a morning star
after 8-days. Quetzalcoatl resurrects full strength at point C
as the rising bright morning star. He wanes in brightness
until superior conjunction starts at D. The evening star that
vanishes from the western sky at inferior conjunction
resurfaces in the eastern sky as a morning star before
sunrise. Returning gods arise from death with heavenly honors
after spending time in the underworld.

Venus moves counter clockwise in the drawing
around the Sun with the Earth at the bottom. Earth is spinning
on its axis while the orbit is stationary in this diagram. Venus
appears on the left side of the Sun as an evening star, between
points A and B. On the right side of the Sun, Venus is a morning
star between points C and D.

The god’s journey continues
263-days more until again he disappears on the far side of the
sun in the morning light. The last 50-days are spent behind
the sun prior to his reemerging once again in the evening at
A. From D to A is the superior conjunction 50-day interval of
invisibility for Venus. Venus spends an average of about
263-days as an evening and morning star. The feathered
serpentine god disappears on the near side of the sun for
8-days and on the far side for 50-days. The entire synodic
cycle of Venus is 584-days.
The ancient Greek term, octaeteris means
the period of 8-solar-years for Venus after which the next
lunar phase occurs on the same day of the year. An octaeteris
consists of about 2,920-days that equal 8-Haab-solar-years
having 365-days each (Eqn. 1). Five Venusian visibility cycles
or synodic periods synchronize with 13 revolutions around the
Sun. An Egyptian 1,461-day & year single term of Sirius
measures exactly half of the matched 2,920-day & year
single term discovered for five synodic periods of Venus.
Eight 365-day-solar-years equal five Venus synodic
periods of 584-days each. Sirius and Venus
have meshed heliacal risings known to ancient astronomers. Leap
day calculations impart greater precision. The 2:1 ratio
proportionally compares 2,922-days in Venus’ 8-solar-year Greek
octaeteris with the accurate 1,461-day leap cycle for Osirus.
The 104-Year Venus Round is the nucleus of the Mayan
Calendar. Two 52-year Calendar Rounds include 13
different octaeteris 8-Haab-solar-year periods that
multiply to get the Mayan 104-Year Venus Round (Eqn. 2).
The Aztec god Quetzalcoatl is Kukulatin in Maya land. The Dresden
Codex Venus Table in figures 1 and 2 depend upon two 52-year
Calendar Rounds having 52-Haab-solar years of 365
days each. Each table completes its total interval of 104-Haab-solar-years
for 37,960-days (Eqn. 3). Two turns of the Venus Table are
equivalent to one 208-year cycle with four different 52-year
Calendar Rounds.
The Antediluvian Calendar measures time according to archaic use
of the 364-day-Ethiopic-year. The final day &
year single term in Seth’s 105-year Venus
Round 3 (S 105-Y VR 3)
primary age arises due to numerically matching 364-days and
364-years in a single term. The 364-day & year
single term was a function of nighttime, lunar-side and
starlight calendar operations. Jewish Ethiopians in
prehistory began recording 105-year Venus Rounds listed
in Genesis 5. Mesoamerican Calendars exhibit
similar practices according to the 104-year Venus Round.
The Antediluvian Calendar cultivated spirituality of the
planetary and star deities found woven into the oldest
Mesopotamian cultures.
Genesis 5:6
"And Seth lived an hundred and
five years, and begat Enos:"
The ancient Judaic calendar escalates a Mayan
104-year Venus Round to accomplish Seth’s primary
105-year Venus Round age. Cascaded operations of a 364-day-Ethiopic-year
reflect numerically matching 1-day with 1-year in order
to increment the annual count. Seth’s 105-Ethiopic-year
Venus Round 3 age multiplies by 364-day-Ethiopic-years
to get 38,220-days (Eqn. 4). Green text identifies information
and areas using related illustrations. The 5-days following a
360-day middle type of year, that was between
355-day-lunar-years and 365-day-solar-years, were isolated
separately. Four of 5-days belong to the Sun and Stars. The
final 365th-days is “not counted in the regular computation
of the year” according to Enoch. Mayan
360-day-Tun-years demonstrate identical treatment. Five
extra Wayeb, nameless days in the Mayan Calendar
compare with 5-epagomenal-days in the Egyptian
Calendar. Subtracting 37,960-days from 38,220-days answers
one Mayan 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year (Eqn. 5). The Jewish
primary 105-Ethiopic-year
Venus Round 3 age of Seth is one Mayan
260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year greater than a comparable Mayan
primary 104-year Venus Round (Eqn. 6). Successive Venus
Round multiples coordinate with later l/s 400-year Baktun
Cycles through numerical matching. Mesopotamian Judaic
versions of the Antediluvian Calendar substitute two Jewish
50-year Jubilee Cycles in place of two Mayan &
Egyptian 52-year Calendar Rounds.
The Mayan 260-day-Tzolken-sacred-year,
365-day-Haab-solar-year and 104-year Venus Round all
synchronize at the end of every 104-Haab-solar-years.
The Venus Round including Tzolken, Haab and Venus cycles
completes when the intervals synchronize on the senior emergence
day-sign, the Sacred Day of Venus, 1 Ahau. The beginning
of the Long Count, or the 5200-Tun-year Great Cycle, was
over 3000-years ago. Regulus is the leader over four royal
archangel stars. Descriptions in the Ethiopian Book of Enoch
I and elsewhere add these 4-day stars to 360-days every
year to create the 364-day-Ethiopic-year. Regulus
announces the 104-year Venus Round. The Mayan &
Egyptian 104-year Venus Round equals two 52-year
Calendar Rounds as shown by the table illustrations.
Author Anthony Aveni has written numerous books about ancient
civilizations and their respective calendar systems. In Empires of Time,
he shifts our attention from the traditional 225-day orbit of
Venus: “To know how it [584-day Venus cycle] was envisioned by
the Maya, we must divest ourselves of the heliocentric posture
we have acquired since the Renaissance, and learn that the
584-day Venus cycle, as far as an earth-based spectator is
concerned, is really far removed from the sun-centered Venus
year of Western astronomy” (1995, p. 225).
The traditional interpretation establishes that
a Mayan 104-year Venus Round multiplies by a 365-day-Haab-solar-year
to attain 37,960-days in the Venus Round. Mesopotamian
cultures altered these figures slightly to obtain 38,220-days in
one Jewish 105-Ethiopic-year
Venus Round. Seth in Egyptian mythology is a male
god similar to the Old
Testament Baals. The biblical Astarte or Astaroth is
the female fertility consort to the Babylonian Baal. Standing
stones symbolized Baal or Bel, and his alias names: Baalat,
Molech or Marduk. A bull frequently represents Baal/Seth. Ishtar
is the proper Babylonian name for the Canaanite goddess Astarte,
Asherah, or Astaroth. Ishtar was associated with planet Venus as
the bright morning star. Her Sumerian name is Inanna. Later the
Greeks would call her Aphrodite and the Romans by the common
name of today, Venus. She equates with the Greek Europa and
Isis, the female fertility goddess and consort to Osirus in
Egyptian mythology. Masculine Osirus and feminine Isis reinforce
supreme duality in the Egyptian cosmos by expressing Sothic
Cycle characteristics alongside Venusian motion.
Planet Venus was the bright morning star throughout the ancient
world. In Mesoamerica, Venus was a powerful male deity.
Kukulatin or Quetzecoatl dominated the Mayan pantheon.
Mesopotamian religion, through all stages and phases, usually
worshiped planet Venus in the feminine gender. Lunar
relationships between 19-year or 20-year lunar/solar cycles
likely shifted patronage of the archetypal figure from masculine
to feminine. Transference to the female goddess occurs for
couples supplanting the godheads. Ishtar/Inanna shared the Baal
time control over 105-days of solar-side time split for any
20-year lunar/solar cycle. Hence, 105-years of solar-side time
split followed suit for any 400-year Baktun Cycle. The Mayan
104-year Venus Round cycle naturally substantiates
105-years of solar-side time split when we engage the
resurrection story. Ishtar/Baal, Isis/Seth and the other
examples are contingent upon the heliacal risings of Venus.
Babylonians knew the path of Venus by 1,600 BCE and the African
Maasai people refer to Venus as the disappearing star, Kileken.
Venus translates as the Light Bearer from Latin Lucifer or
heosphoros from Greek as the morning star (Isaiah 14:12).
Resurrection allowed celestial deities to have immortal
distinction. The gods Sirius and Quetzalcoatl were thought to
die when they disappeared from naked eye view. Egyptian Sun god
Ra died at sundown. Ra returned to the living as a child,
growing brighter and stronger as the day progresses. The story
of Sirius, the “Dog Star” in Canis Major follows suit with
70-days of invisibility every year prior to returning. Annual
heliacal risings coincided with the Nile River overflowing.
Sin was the moon-god in Sumer, Babylonia and Assyria. Religious
lore dating since 2,800 BCE. mentions the lunar deity in
Mesopotamia before the time of Abraham. Astral theology
associates the moon and planetary female goddess Ishtar with
Venus. Governing authorities used cylinder seals with Ishtar
depicted. Official documents bore the stamp by rolling the
cylinder seal over a soft clay tablet. Assyrian and Babylonian
myths portray Ishtar/Iananna descending into Hades. She removes
clothing and jewelry as she passes through seven gates until
entirely naked. She exchanges places with her counterpart lover
god to rejoin the living
(Guretzki, 2005, para. 4).
The wide array of pan-Babylonian history has
accepted inferences to the early scriptures in Genesis. Our goal is to
highlight traces that provide relevant insight about biblical
calendar times, whether based in polytheism, on written tablets
or authentic interpretations. Comparing mythical tales regarding
astrology with hard scientific facts learned from modern
astronomy enables better understanding of early culture. Sacred
calendar wisdom includes flamboyant access to supernatural
channels through magical numbers and descriptions. We have to do
our very best to see things from the ancient perspective.

The Antediluvian Calendar presents a two-edged spiritual sword
of God. On the left
side of Judeo-Christianity are such topics as astrology,
mythology and the broader terms concerning cosmology. A wide
range of interpretation exists from strictly puritan ideals to
liberal groups where just about anything goes. Divergent views
can invite extremism, cult worship and express distortion of
fundamental beliefs. Some religions intentionally masquerade
hidden character with glistening perfection.
Toward the more conservative disciplines found within
Judeo-Christianity, bitter opposition effectively denounces
worship forms that suggest any connection with celestial
objects. Judaism is a collective way to preserve historical
knowledge and divest worship from fixed representations of God. One eternal Creator
stands apart from anything else. He rules over man and women,
the animals and our abode called Earth. Natural phenomena that
serve as calendar instruments, like the Sun, Moon and Venus only
glorify His amazing handiwork. Judaism vehemently opposes any
hint of idol worship, including planets or stars. Any calendar
enumerations are simply another aspect of created things.
Calendars allow us to divide time into smaller parcels that we
can share and understand. No matter how big the number of years
gets, we cannot grasp the concept of eternal, infinite time. We
accurately count days, years and cycles to assign time stamps.
Yet, time exists measurable and quantifiable. Christian
adherents largely follow Jewish underpinnings with realizations
focused upon the New Covenant through Jesus Christ. Gregorian chronology before the
Roman solar calendar is a slippery slope, fraught with
complication. Any discussion turns out to be an arduous path.
Extending Gregorian dating to an accepted epoch between 8,000
BCE and 4,500 BCE. originates Genesis
near Sumer.
Science is a third leg of the tripod that ultimately features
hero and victim. The information explosion is a limitless
frontier, unimpeded by either geographic boundaries or sovereign
countries. Equipment and expertise continues to improve lives
the world over. Developments in one skill carry over to
different arenas. Breakthroughs in medicine and electronics
disseminate globally via the Internet.
Technical science has a reputation for overlooking safety,
security and the environment. Adverse recollections abound that
purport technology gone awry. Various ethics and socially
acceptable customs favor the friendliest and most beneficial
advancements. Archeology rarely is responsible for future
techniques. Calendars and time are the next exception.
Discovering supernatural intervention is the challenge for the
new millennium. The fact remains that all calendars need a
framework that is dependent on stellar and planetary motion.
Calendar science is a compilation that bridges accepted
information with religious interests. People benefit by knowing
God: past, present, and
future.
