☀Madrid Codex (Maya)
according to sources this code content mainly consists of almanacs and horoscopes used to help Maya priests in the performance of their ceremonies and divinatory rituals . The codex also contains astronomical tables , although fewer than those in the other three surviving Maya codices .
- Madrid Codex, together with the Paris, Dresden, and Grolier codices, a richly illustrated glyphic text of the pre-Conquest Mayan period and one of few known survivors of the mass book-burnings by the Spanish clergy during the 16th century
The Madrid Codex is believed to be a product of the late Mayan period (c. 1400 CE) and is possibly a post-Classic copy of Classic Mayan scholarship. The figures and glyphs of this codex are poorly drawn and not equal in quality to those of the other surviving codices.
The codex contains a wealth of information on astrology and on divinatory practices. It has been of particular value to historians and anthropologists interested in identifying the various Mayan gods and reconstructing the rites that ushered in new years

It's about spirit science
GHJKSD when you said this video was about Spirit Science, I thought you were gonna like, link to a video talking about how the Spirit Science guy Jordan Duchnycz is a rapist or his weird obsession with Emma Watson or his antisemitic claim that Jews come from another planet. I didn't expect you were going to link to like, an actual Spirit Science video.
In brief, what Jordan's putting out here is straight-up baloney. A lot of it's pretty bog-standard New Age pseudohistory based on unsubstantiated conjecture, misinterpretation of various mythological traditions, and shit somebody just pulled straight from their ass. Not only is there no actual evidence to support any of the stuff he's putting out there, the actual evidence we do have inevitably precludes it.
Here are some links that explain why and how we know that people like Jordan are just wrong:
The Sirius Mystery: did the Dogon know about Sirius B?
The Truth About Atlantis
Atlantis @ Bad Archaeology
The Weird Case of Atlantis-Mu in the Madrid Codex
Lemuria, the weirdest continent that never existed
Naacal @ Wikipedia
Close encounters of the racist kind
The Ancient Astronaut Hypothesis Is Racist And Harmful
Zechariah Sitchin @ Bad Archaeology
"The Emerald Tablets of Thoth": A Lovecraftian Plagiarism
Left- vs. Right-Brained: Why the Brain Laterality Myth Persists
Are the Egyptian pyramids aligned with the stars?
Criticisms of Drunvalo Melchizedek @ Wikipedia
Detailed deconstruction of the "face" and pyramids on Mars claims
"Christ" @ Wiktionary
"Allah" @ Wiktionary
Charles Hapgood @ Wikipedia
It’s better light, not worse behaviour, that explains crimes on a full Moon
Sphinx water erosion hypothesis @ Wikipedia
Egyptian Hieroglyphs @ World History Encyclopedia
Predynastic Period in Egypt @ World History Encyclopedia
Sumer @ World History Encyclopedia
Debunking the Myth: The Council of Nicaea and the Formation of the Biblical Canon
First Council of Nicaea @ Encyclopedia Britannica
Did Jesus Go to India? A Modern Gospel Forgery
Also, the fact that Jordan appeals to channeled information is a massive red flag. Channeling is fun and sometimes produces some interesting things, but a source of reliable information it is not.
He also claims that a pole reversal makes the planet start spinning the other way, which is literally not how pole reversals work at all.
And of course, Jason's claim that thirteen powerful families are controlling the world is that general conspiracy theory shit derived from The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, early modern witch panic, and blood libel. The whole thirteen families thing in particular comes from Fritz Springmeier, a far right conspiracy theorist who proudly cites other hateful kooks like Edith Starr Miller and Alexander Hislop and basically claims anything that isn't good wholesome Christian entertainment is actually Satanic programming.
Basically, Jordan Duchnycz is just another New Age conspiracy theorist pushing the same old garbage as loads of others like him.

Ich möchte mit euch nochmal zurück nach Süd und Zentralamerika denn dort gibt es auch noch das ein oder andere Mysterium, eines davon ist vielen mittlerweile bekannt sei es durch Bücher oder Verfilmungen wie der Film „2012“. Jedes Volk der Welt hat einen Kalender und der Kalender der Maya ist den meisten ein Begriff. Die Mayas Lebten in Zentralamerika und sind vergleichsweise ein relativ junges Volk. Als die Spanier sie vor rund 400 Jahren überfielen waren im ganzen Maya Land Pyramiden und Tempel. Die Spanier haben die Tempel zum großen Teil zerstört und daraus Kathedralen und Straßen errichtet. Man hat auch Tausende von Handschriften gefunden bei den Maya. Die Spanier hatten die Priester ermordet die Jünglinge gefoltert und alle Handschriften wurden an einer Sammelstelle angehäuft und angezündet. Es haben nur 3 Handschriften dieser Maya überlebt, eine Handschrift befindet sich heute in Paris eine in Madrid und die letzte in Dresden. Auch bekannt als Dresdener Codex, Pariser Codex und Madrider Kodex. Was im Pariser und Madrider Kodex steht versteht niemand auch die Fachleute werden nicht schlau daraus doch der Dresdener Codex allerdings besteht aus Mathematik und ist ein Kalender da versteht man wenigstens ein großes Teil da ja das Kalender System der Maya bekannt ist. Die Tage sind Kreisförmig angelegt und der Startschuss des Kalenders ist der 13. August 1114 vor Christus dabei hatten die Maya ein völlig anderes System als wir es haben was sich jedoch auf unser übertragen lässt und sogar noch Präziser war. Die kleinste Einheit war eine Woche diese hatte 13 Tage und ist als Kreis wie ein Zahnrad dargestellt, die zweite Größere Einheit war so etwas wie ein Monat und hatte 20 Tage ebenso Kreisförmig wie ein Zahnrad angelegt, zieht man jetzt einen Querstrich zwischen den beiden zusammengebrachten Kreisen und lässt die Tage vergehen sprich das Zahnrad laufen wie lange dauert es bis sich der Querstrich wiedertrifft? A: 260 Tage Also war die kleinste Einheit im Mayakalender 260 Tage sprich ein Jahr von 260 Tagen. Rest in den Kommentaren! #maya #dresdenerkodex #mayakalender #aztec #wissen #antikebibliothek #antik #pyramids #inka #pyramiden https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccny_80qq10/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Da Vinci Birthday Anniversary
Italian artist, engineer, scientist, and Renaissance polymath Leonardo da Vinci was born 568 years ago today on April 15, 1452. In commemoration we present a few pages from our facsimile of Da Vinci’s Madrid Codices, published in New York by McGraw-Hill in 1974. The codices consist of two volumes of manuscript notes discovered in the Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid in 1965 that include such topics as mechanics, statics, geometry, and the construction of fortifications, and also displays his famous mirror writing. Codex I was finished during 1490 and 1499, and II from 1503 to 1505. The last two images are from Codex II and show a plan for the head of Leonardo’s Sforza monument and a map of Pisa and its surroundings showing plans for water diversions.
Happy Birthday Anniversary Leonard Da Vinci!

A modern reconstruction of Herodotus Machine and its experimental testing
“HERODOTUS MACHINE – BUILDING PYRAMIDS
MACHINES CONSTRUCTRED OF SHORT WOOD PLANKS.
The “short woods machine” described by Herodotus, used to elevate blocks of stones for the construction of the pyramids in Egypt, was described as very light, so light in fact that the workers could have easily moved it from one step to the next of the pyramid.
The Egyptians did not know much of complex machines like those of the Greeks and Romans, nonetheless they knew of machines such as the balance or shaduf (used for agriculture), which used a system of counterweights to shift the weight near or on the central pivot.
As a result of our research carried out on several manuscripts from the de Architettura of Vitruvius, the architectural treatise of Francesco di Giorgio, we have not found any machine that might have such characteristics, but we noticed that in the codices of Leonardo da Vinci, there are two drawings which depict a machine that can match the descriptions given by Herodotus.
Described in Folio 818v of Codex Atlanticus, are different machines to raise columns, in particular one of these describes the elevation (lifting) of a column by oscillations, that is, by inserting in the central pivot of the machine some thick woods, thus helping to ‘elevate’ the column.
Folio 29r in Codex Madrid I depicts the same machine built with raw woods and ropes. The operation is the same as the previous design, but this machine designed by Leonardo seems to have very ancient origins, in fact it is very different from the other designs that appear in Codex Madrid I.
The drawing depicts a machine capable of lifting a large stone column. The machine is used by balancing a column on the central pivot where all the weight of the object was concentrated. By swinging the column to the right of the central pivot it created a space for a length of wood, thus contributing to the elevation desired. By swinging it again, to the left side, a new space was created this time to the right of the pivot, by inserting another length of wood the column was lifted a notch.
Since a similar machine had existed in ancient times we can show that with a small modification, the machine becomes very similar to that described by Herodotus. Most of the stones used in construction of the pyramids have a weight of between 2 to 3 tons, probably not far from the weight of the column depicted. But these are only hypotheses, that is why we did a test. The machine was designed to scale and tested during February 2011 with a cube of concrete weighing about 300 kg. Beyond our optimistic forecasts the machine (built to scale) not only enabled us to lift the concrete block, but made its application so easy that it was possible for a child of only 6 years to lift the stone.

Seven Emblem books and two others!
Two sort of emblematic books (A&B) and Seven(1-7) emblem books in contemporary or original bindings!
1) Andres Alciati 1492 – 1550
V.C. Emblemata (Viri Clarissimi) Emblemata. Cum Claudij Minois ad eadam Commentariis & Notis Posterioribus. Quibus Emblematum omnium aperta origine, mens auctoris explicatur, & obscura omnia dubiáque illustrantur.
Lugduni (Lyon), Hæred. Gvlielmi Rovilii, 1600. 1600. Bound in coeval vellum with author and title on the spine in an early hand. Octavo ã8, e4, i8 A-Eee8, Eee*2 Fff8 Ggg4.
The ultimate reference for this book is Daly’ Andres Alciatus Index Emblematicsus 1985; ; Landwehr, J. Romanic emblem books; 89 ; Adams, A. French emblem books; F.063; Emblem books at the Univ. of Illinois; A32; Green, H. Andrea Alciati and his books of emblems,; 127; Baudrier, 1895-1921, v. 9, p. 464-65;. Item #738G
The emblem book, which attained enormous popularity in continental Europe and Great Britain, while it is possible to trace it back before was certantly made most popular by Alciati. . Alciato’s emblems were first published in Augsburg in Germany (two editions in 1531 and one in 1534); from 1534 onwards publishing shifted to France and remained there for the next thirty years. Wechel, who printed the Paris editions (from 1534), are like those in Augsburg. He can be said to have set the standard for clear presentation of emblems, with each emblem beginning on a fresh page, featuring the motto or title, the pictura below that, and then the subscription/epigram or verse text the main focus of publication for emblems shifted more firmly to Lyons from the mid 1540s, The 1550 Latin edition by Rouille is the first to have 211 emblems (the whole corpus, apart from the so-called obscene emblem ‘Adversus naturam peccantes’) illustrated. This edition includes biography of Andrea Alciati (leaves i1-i8). These emblems depict Alciati’s concern for the eternal nature of man and its contradictions, the attentive ear to the popular speech, the unfolding of the personality, madness, the reflection on human existence, the relationship between man and the woman, the struggle between reason and passion, and to the satire of society and its rules and rulers.
A) CARTARI 343J Vincenso Cartari. 1531–1569
Seconda novissima editione delle Imagini de gli dei delli antichi di Vicenzo Cartari …Ridotte da capo a piedi alle loro reali, & non più per l’adietro osseruate simiglianze. cauate da’marmi, bronzi, medaglie, gioie, & altre memorie antiche; con esquisito studio, & particolare dligenza da Lorenzo Pignoria … Aggionteui le annotationi del medismo sopra tutta l’opera, & vn discorso intorno le deità dell’Indie orientali, & occidentali, con le loro figure tratte da gl’originali, che si conseruano nelle Galleri de’principi, & ne’musei delle persone priuate.

Price: $4,500.00
B). Cuper, Gisbert Cuper. 1644-1716
Gisb. Cuperi Harpocrates, Sive Explicatio imaguncluæ argenteæ perantiquæ; quæ in figuram Harpocratis formata representat Solem. Ejusdem Monumenta Antiqua Inedita. Multi Auctorum loci, multæ Inscriptiones, Marmora, Nummi, Gemmæ, varii ritus, & Antiquitates in utroque Opusculo emendantur & illustrantur. Accedit Stephani Le Moine Epistola de Melanophoris.
Utrecht: (Trajecti ad Rhenum) Apud Franciscum Halma, Acad. Typogr., 1687, Quarto. This copy is bound in 20th century quarter calf. .
¶Harpocrates was adapted by the Greeks from the Egyptian child God Horus, who represented the newborn sun, rising each day at dawn. Harpocrates’s name was a Hellenization of the Egyptian Har-pa-khered or Heru-pa-khered, meaning “Horus the Child”. In the second century B.C., Egyptians connected Harpocrates with the mystic cult of the Egyptian goddess Isis. Harpocrates holds a finger to its lip for the Egyptians a symbolic gesture representing childhood.
¶Yet the Greeks mistook for a hush for silence., misinterpreting Harpocrates as the personification of silence, and this particular work is a study of statues and other art from classical antiquity that depict these later figures of silence. And again, the Roman interpretation added strength to the Mystery of silence.
The frontispiece signed and dated in the plate: Joh. van der Avele invention and fecit. Title page in red and black. This edition is enhanced with a letter of Etienne Le Moyne; this text has a half-title and the second text: Monumenta Antiqua. Cuper’s research is a precursor to art history and Winckelmann.
Brunet 6, no. 22603; Cicognara 3212; Ebert 5512; Graesse 2,308 , Item #388J
Price: $1,800.00
2). David, Jan David. 1545?-1613
Veridicus christianus: auctore P. Joanne David … Editio altera, auctior.
Antverpiæ ex officina Plantiniana, M. DCVI. Second edition. This copy is bound in full contemporary blind stamped calf over wooden boards with two working clasps. Quarto ‡4, ‡‡4, A-Z4, a-z4, Aa-Ee4.+ 100 Numbered Plates. With a special engraved t.p. with allegorical depiction of Christ carrying the cross, surrounded by ten artists at easels painting scenes from his life (as well as a few questionable profane subjects). The vovelle : The centers of the engraving and the volvelle (through which a string passes) are reinforced with small paper roundels printed with the monograms of Christ. The numbers are keyed to an “Indiculus orbitae” that follows (Bb1r-Bb2r). There a number, having been selected, is provided with a phrase from various Latin authors (listed on Bb2v), and a reference to one of the hundred sections that comprise the main text. It is suggested in Bibliotheca Belgica that this game may have been intended as a pious alternative to such superstitious books as Thuys der fortvnen.
Veridicus Christianus emphasizes the Society of Jesus’ investment in thinking in, though, and about visual images that exemplify the supreme mystery of God. Published as a tool of devotion and meditations, it features one hundred chapters that encompass a wide
range of topics for reflection. Each chapter incorporates an extensive commentary that interprets the emblematic image David too follows the order in which we apprehend things with our senses, beginning with a visual representation at the head of each chapter. Then comes the explication. The symboli explicatio was considered necessary because cultivated readers would be more susceptible to a reasoned argument than a
picture. The text is divided into 100 chapters, each with an allegorical engraving incorporating letters keyed to the explanatory text and with marginal references. Each of the 100 numbered plates has a single line of Latin at the head giving the subject, with two-line explanatory verses below the allegorical engraving in Latin (roman letter), Dutch (civilité) and French (italic) First plate (following [2 daggers]4) is added title leaf for the ill., which were also published separately; see Bibliotheca Belgica. The added title reads: Icones ad Veridicvm Christianvm P. Ioannis David e Societate Iesv At the end is Device with compasses and the motto “constantia et labore” on Ee4r . This book is notoriously found defective in one way or another, this copy is perfect and complete.

The Jesuit Sebastián Izquierdo in his Práctica de los ejercicios espirituales, written in (Spanish in )1665 translated in to Italian the same year then in 1678 translated as here into Latin and later published in several translations and versions offers an illustrated guide to the Ignatian spiritual exercises. The illustrations, 12 of them, are the subject of image meditation which was a favorite method of the Jesuits who, beginning with the monumental Evangelicae Historiae Imagines (1593) of Jerónimo Nadal, actively took hold of religious iconography and adjusted and concentrated it for the teaching of the Societies ( and Ignatius’ ) vision. The images are not just simple depiction’s instead they are mnemonic devices. These images are points of departures and give the current 21st century reader a precious examples of images that inspire meditation, direct the reception of the teachings and anchor them in the memory. Particularly memorable is the Image of Hell on page 72,
The lay-out shows the pedagogical intentions and possibilities of this little book: there are 12 parts consisting of 12 separate quires, numbered from ‘A’ to ‘M’ and paginated each from 1-12, each with its own full-page illustration , these could have been meant to be distributed separately – according to match the educational needs or level of the students. The Images are in high contrast, with plenty of Bloody and memorable images. The Puteus Abyssi depicts a poor man who is naked and sitting in a chair in some sort of oubliette. He has sevenswords, each with animal head handles, in him and each is strategically stuck in various parts of the body. The swords are labeled for the passions. Most interesting of these might be the sword marked ‘Vengeance’ it is hanging offer the mans head, the Idleness sword is stuck between his legs, Gluttony in his stomach, Lust … Envy in his back, Avarice between his Shoulders and Pride in his heart.Izquierdo was also the author of Pharus scientiarum, a treatise on a methodology to access knowledge,
conceived as a single science. In this work, he assimilated Aristotelian and Baconian logic, and he expressed some original ideas on mathematics and logic that have earned their author a reputation as an outstanding mathematician. Not just like his Spanish contemporaries John Caramuel or Tomás Vicente Tosca , but also significant foreign mathematicians as Athanasius Kircher , Gaspar Knittel or Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz , the latter, in particular, cited with, his Disputatio of Combinatione, in Combinatorial Art (1666).

This copy is bound in original vellum. There is a really interesting modern bookplate on the pastedown. ¶ Praz, M. Studies in 17th cent. imagery (2nd ed.),; p. 506; Corpus librorum emblematum. Jesuit series,; J.1414; Landwehr, J. German emblem books,; 564; De Backer-Sommervogel,; VI, column 892, no. 2. Item #715
There is an engraved emblematic title page signed “I.M. Lerch sc. Viennae;” The other 32 illustrations (numbered 1-32) are full-page emblems engraved by Boetius a Bolswert–See Landwehr.
¶The Illustrations are printed on the verso of leaf, recto is blank; accompanied by explanatory text on facing leaf. The text and illustrations are printed within ruled border.
This popular emblematical work is arranged as a series of meditations, by the Jesuit Antoine Sucquet. Many religious emblem books were published during the 17th and 18th centuries, and of these, Sucquet’s work was one of the most popular. Because of its engravings by Boëtius a Bolswert , it was especially important for the development of the 17th-century Christian iconography. The counter-reformation produced a great number of emblematic meditation-books where text and illustrations are interwoven. Emblem books were therefore much favoured by the Jesuits for the purposes of teaching, as religious propaganda, and to provide subjects for meditation. The 17th-century Jesuit curriculum prescribed that emblems were composed in the schools. Members of the highest classes in the Flemish Jesuit colleges each composed an emblem, and the production of the entire class was collected in commemorative albums painted by professional artists and calligraphers. The meditation on the soul’s relation to Christ was precisely guided by provision of references in the engravings. The first religious catholic emblem book was published in 1571 and composed by Arias Montanus. In 1601 Jan David composed the first Jesuit emblem book, the “Veridicus Christianus”. Sucquet’s work is composed around the widely spread concept of the “homo viator in bivio”, the creature who during his life again and again arrives at the cross and has to make the good choice for the narrow and difficult path to his eternal destination. Sucquet made clear that vision is the most important sense of a human being. It had foundational importance for the Christian iconography of the seventeenth century. According to Brunet the work was very much searched after by the pious for its texts, by the curious minds for the 32 engravings by Boetius a Bolswert
