The oldest Egyptian art landed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met) in New York thanks to an exhibition showing the origins of this civilization, which emphasizes that the culture of the Pharaohs goes far beyond the conventional hieroglyphics. The first testimonies that have come down to us can be dated about the year 3200 BC. These are great blades with contemporary drawings of the first pharaohs the most famous of all the palette of "Toros". On the other hand, the analysis of 70 contemporary private stelae of the third pharaoh of the First Dynasty, Dyer (c. 2974-2927 a. C), show the presence of 21 sound recordings of a single letter of the 30 that existed in Egypt, and other similar phonograms with the appearance of ideograms and determinatives. From Abydos, in the wake of the "Scorpion King" and the many private trails are both owned brand, religious monuments and for the first time, expression of an essence of real power. On the other hand, have been found in the tomb of Hemaka, a contemporary of King Den, fifth pharaoh of the First Dynasty of Egypt (2914-2867 a. C), two rolls of papyrus virgin. This support was essential for a highly developed writing., Then allowed to build files that record the most important facts, as related in the Palermo stone. However, the data we know today, was in the early Fourth Dynasty, when the autobiography that appears when the hieroglyphic system was able to fully reproduce the speech.

I give now a huge study by Zecharia Sitchin, who is not only famous for his research on Anunnaki, you see, he has dedicated his life to unravel the mystery of human expansion across the globe. It's long article, but it really worth it to understand many things that we have had in the history books. A study through which ropes tied between Latin Sitchin, Sumerian and transmigration, which all point to the same, the same origin by the same God. I hope you find it very useful and revealing, this is just one kilo gram in a file from someone like Sitchin study which unfortunately is no longer with us, sometimes I think our undesirable * Troll * be able to correct him to research Sitchin .. and say that only wrote his book to be successful … The Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, was an impressive metropolis when the Spanish arrived. His chronicles describe it as a big city, if not bigger than most European cities of his time, well designed and managed. Situated on an island in Lake Texcoco, in the central valley of the highlands, was surrounded and crossed by water channels = a sort of Venice of the New World =. The long and wide roads that connected the city with the mainland greatly impressed the conquerors, like the many boats plying its canals, the streets flooded with people, or the markets full of merchants and goods around the kingdom. The royal palace had several outbuildings full of wealth, surrounded by gardens where there was a huge aviary and a zoo. A great place, full of activity, was the scene of festivals and military parades. But the heart of the city and the empire was his great religious center, a huge rectangle of nearly one hundred thousand square meters surrounded by a wall worked to give the appearance of twisted snakes. There were plenty of buildings within this sacred enclosure, the most prominent of whom was the Great Temple, with its two towers, and partly circular temple of Quetzalcoatl. Currently, the vast Zocalo square = the = in Mexico City and cathedral occupy part of that ancient sacred place, as many streets and adjacent buildings. After a random excavation which took place in 1978, it is now possible to see and visit an important part of the Great Temple, and in recent years have known enough to make a scale reconstruction of the enclosure, as in his time glorious. The Great Temple was shaped like a stepped pyramid, rising by stages to a height of about fifty meters with a base of about 45 by 45 meters. It was the culmination of several phases of construction as the typical Russian dolls, the external structure was built on an earlier smaller, and it covered another even older structure. In all, seven structures are overlapped each other. Archaeologists were able to access, layer after layer, until the Temple II, which was built around the 1400 AD, it, like the last, and had the distinctive twin towers at the top. The south tower was dedicated to Huitzilopochtli Aztec tribal deity, the god of war. He was represented usually with a magical weapon called the Serpent of Fire, with whom he had defeated four lesser gods. Two monumental staircases led up to the top of the pyramid on its western side, one for each tower. Both were decorated at the base with two fierce snake heads carved in stone, one of which is the Serpent of Fire Huitzilopochtli, and the other the Water Serpent symbolizing Tlaloc. At the base of the pyramid we found a large stone disk and thick at the top of which had carved a representation of the dismembered body of the goddess Coyolxauhqui. According to the Aztec lore, it was the sister of Huitzilopochtli, and had a mishap with him during the rebellion of the four gods, which was involved. It seems that his destiny was one of the reasons for the Aztec belief that Huitzilopochtli had to placate the offering of the hearts of human victims. The reason for the twin towers was enhanced later in the sacred with the erection of two pyramids crowned with towers, one on each side of the Great Temple, and two more back towards the west. The last two flanked the temple of Quetzalcoatl, who had the unusual shape of a regular pyramid in front, but structured circular stepped from behind, from which was rising into a circular tower with conical dome. Many believe that this temple served as a solar observatory. A. F. Aveni = Astronomy in ancient Mesoamerica = concluded in 1974 that, in the days of the equinoxes = March 21 and September 21 =, when the Sun rises in the east just above the Ecuador, sunrise could be seen from Quetzalcoatl tower just between the two towers of the height of the Great Temple. And this is possible because the architects of the sacred precinct of temples had been erected along an axis aligned architecture that was not exactly with the cardinal points, but with a 7 degrees off axis and a half to the southeast, so the position is exactly compensated geographical north of Tenochtitlan = Ecuador =, allowing viewing of the sun rising in those crucial dates in between the twin towers. While the Spanish may not realize this sophisticated detail of the sacred enclosure, the chronicles left to speak of his amazement found not only a cultivated people, but also a civilization much like the Spanish. Here, on the other side of what had been a forbidden ocean, all the isolated effects of the civilized world, had a state headed by a king as in Europe. Nobles, officers and courtiers filled the royal court. There were emissaries who came and went. Was obtained tribute from vassal tribes, loyal citizens paid their taxes. In the actual files were kept written records of wealth dynasties and tribal histories. He had an army with a hierarchical command and sophisticated weapons. There were arts and crafts, music and dance. There were festivities connected with the seasons and holy days prescribed by religion = a = state religion, as in Europe. And there was a sacred enclosure with its temples, shrines and residences, surrounded by a wall = as = the Vatican in Rome, a journey through a hierarchy of priests, as in the Europe of his time, there were only custodians of Faith interpreters of the divine, but also guardians of the secrets of scientific knowledge. In it, astrology, astronomy and the mysteries of timing were critical. Some Spanish chroniclers of the time, trying to counteract the embarrassing positive impressions of what should have been some wild Indians, attributed to Moctezuma Cortés reprimanded by worshiping idols * are not gods, but evil demons *, an evil influence that allegedly offered to counteract Cortes built on top of the pyramid a shrine with a cross * and the image of Our Lady *, according to Bernal Diaz del Castillo wrote in his book * True Story *. But to the astonishment of the Spanish, the cross symbol was already known to the Aztecs, who considered him a symbol of heavenly meaning, and contained the shield as an emblem of Quetzalcoatl. But also through the maze of a pantheon of many deities, you could see the underlying belief in one Supreme God, a Creator of All. Some of the prayers that were engaged even family, here are a few verses of an Aztec prayer, preserved in Spanish from the original language Nahuatl. However, even with all these striking similarities, there was a disconcerting contrast with the Aztec civilization. It was not just the * idolatry *, of which the masses of monks and their parents made * casus belli *, not even the barbaric custom of starting the hearts of prisoners and offer them even beating Huitzilopochtli = practice introduced by the predecessor of Montezuma , already in 1486 =. It was, rather, of the full scale of this civilization, which seemed the result of progress which had been curbed in his career, or the patina of an imported culture than as a thin sheet on a gross substructure. The buildings were impressive and were cleverly designed but not built with carved stones, but rather resembled the adobe buildings = stones crudely subject fields with single mortar =. Trade was extensive, but it was a barter trade. The tribute was paid in kind, taxes, personal services = not known at all the money =. The fabrics were fashioned in the most rudimentary loom, the cotton is spun on spindles clay, similar to those found in the Old World, in the ruins of Troy = second millennium BC = y in parts of Palestine = third millennium BC =. Both in their tools as weapons, the Aztecs were in the stone age, inexplicably devoid of metal tools and weapons, despite knowing the craft of goldsmithing. To cut, using bits of glass = obsidian-like and one of the objects prevailing at the time of the Aztecs was the obsidian knife that used to draw the hearts of prisoners =. Due to the fact that other peoples of the Americas did not have writing, the Aztecs seemed a more advanced people, at least in this regard, since using a egyptian writing system. But it was not an alphabetic script, nor phonetic consisted of a series of images such as drawings in a comic strip. In comparison, in the ancient Far East, where writing appeared about 3800 BC = In = Sumer as pictograms, they quickly were stylized into cuneiform, a phonetic spelling advanced to where the signs represented syllables, and by the end of the second millennium BC, there appeared a complete alphabet. Writing with pictures appeared in Egypt when I started the royalty, circa 3100 BC, and quickly evolved into a system of hieroglyphic writing. Studies of the experts, like Amelia Hertz = Journal of historical synthesis, Vol 35 =, have concluded that writing by images of the Aztecs in 1500 AD was similar to the early Egyptian writing, like the stone tablet of King Narmer. A. Hertz met with another curious analogy between the Aztec Mexico and Egypt of the early dynasties: in both, although the metallurgy of copper had not yet developed, the gold was so advanced that the goldsmiths could crimp turquoise = highly valued gemstone in both places = in gold objects. The National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City = certainly one of the world's best in their field = exposes the archaeological heritage of the country in a U-shaped building In a series of interconnected rooms or sections, takes visitors through time and space, from the prehistoric origins to the time of the Aztecs, from south to north and from east to west. The middle section is devoted to the Aztecs, is the heart and the pride of the Mexican national archeology, as * Aztecs * is a name given to this people afterwards. A called themselves Mexica *, * giving your preferred name not only the capital = built where he had been the Aztec Tenochtitlan =, but also throughout the country. The Mexica room, which is as it is called, is qualified by the Museum itself as * the most important room .. The grand dimensions are sufficiently established to frame the culture of Mexican people *. Among his monumental stone sculptures include huge Calendar Stone, which weighs about 25 tons, huge statues of various gods and goddesses, and a thick and huge stone disk engraved around it. Stone and clay effigies smaller earthenware utensils, weapons, ornaments of gold and other Aztec remains, besides the scale model of the sacred enclosure, filled the room impressive. The contrast between the primitive objects of clay and wood and the grotesque effigies on the one hand, and the powerful monumental carved stones and other sacred place is amazing. It is inexplicable to the short span of four centuries of Aztec presence in Mexico.
