The Moon's cycles around the Earth are described in full detail by Ancestral Astronomy, explained step-by-step or at any specific point in space and time.

Ancestral Astronomy offers entirely different astronomical perspectives and calculation techniques from those used today, providing a highly developed astronomical knowledge that allows us to follow the entire mechanics of Planet Earth's journey, along with the Moon and the Sun, across the universe.

The wise astronomers of antiquity

If a wise astronomer of antiquity returned to Earth, it would not be surprising if conversation would not flow easily with a modern astronomer, even though both are experts in Astronomy.

There is still a scientific void separating Ancestral Astronomy from Modern Astronomy, making them seem irreconcilable. However, what I have concluded over these years of studying Calendars and ancestral astronomy is that these two fields are simply two different ways of looking at the sky—both relevant and scientific.

Nowadays, ancestral astronomy is associated with religious and mythological beliefs, dedicated to the prediction of astronomical events like eclipses, seasons of the year, solstices, equinoxes, etc.

The calendars and timekeeping devices of ancient societies are well recognized for their civil functions in agriculture and their roles in religious rituals and ceremonies. It is in this brief and naive way that the astronomy of ancient cultures is usually explained.

This is the first episode regarding my 20-year research into the Mayan and Aztec time cycles in the Haab and Tzolkin calendars, carried out without books or masters.

It all began with curiosity and the quest to deepen the understanding behind those seemingly perfect and rigorous calendar grids.

After a long period of researching books, libraries, various fields of study, and many experts, the answers were plenty, but none explained the mechanism that would have shaped the calendars.

Hello everyone, and welcome to this journey through space-time on the Ancestral Astronomy Blog! Here, I will share the results of the research I have conducted over the last 20 years on the Maya and Aztec calendars, from a purely mathematical perspective, without prophecies or religious beliefs.

In this study, only the numbers mattered, and they spoke louder than a thousand words—or glyphs!

This theme intersects with countless areas of cultural knowledge, which is why its approach can become quite extensive. Therefore, I will organize the Ancestral Astronomy publications into three sections: two blogs with different publishing styles, and a gallery of my own drawings and paintings. All of these works are gathered together on the Ancestral Astronomy Website.

This Ancestral Astronomy Blog will explore concepts and ideas found along this enchanted path of astronomy practiced by humankind before the Christian Era. Meanwhile, the Manual of Ancestral Astronomy Blog will address subjects from a more technical, educational, and objective viewpoint, focusing on the practices used in ancestral cultures.

This way of studying and understanding astronomy cannot be confirmed in books or with scholars in today's culture. However, all the concepts and practices in which this astronomy is framed will be easily recognizable within the Whole; in Life, on Earth, in Space, and in Spirit.

Here, without lifting a foot off the ground, you will feel the Universe much closer. To finally understand how we are part of it, moving forward together, hand in hand, at great speed!

Hope you have fun!
