Communicating With The Gods

October 5, 2008

The ancients had a grasp of astronomical cycles unlike even some of our most sophistictaed scientists today. The question is how did they know what they knew? Without the complex high tech equipment that we have today, how were they able to figure out precession, eccentrocity, obliquity, and axial tilt? Who even know what all that means today?

The Milankovittz cycles are recent scientific discoveries, even while their validity is being argued, but apparently well known and understood by many of the ancients, including the Mayans.

Most high school students can tell you that the earth TILTS, but why?

In astronomy, axial tilt is the inclination angle of a planet’s rotational axis in relation to its orbital plane. It is also called axial inclination or obliquity. The axial tilt is expressed as the angle made by the planet’s axis and a line drawn through the planet’s center perpendicular to the orbital plane. Very much like Milankovitch’s eccentricity cycle, the obliquity cycle is not well understood.

The eccentricity cyle is a 100 year one while the obliquity cycle is but 41,000 years.

The theory states that the earth axis tilt changes from 22.1 to 24.5 degrees: a 2.4 degree tilt. It doesn’t sound like alot but it’s major. We are currently at a 23.5 tilt or about mid way between the extremes. The greater the tilt the more noticable are the seasons. The Mayans understood this. How’d they know? How could they have comprehended such information by general observation?

Or, were they somehow able to communicate with their gods, “the God”, in ways long since forgotten?

Maybe we should spend more time answering that mystery between now and 2012.
