The Story Behind the Video Trailer, Part 3.

"Exciting video! Awesome trailer!"  This is the third in a series of updates that will explain how the slides in the video trailer of "The Lost Calendar of the Maya: The Return of Kukulkan" are connected to the story line. Subscribe to this blog or follow it and you will get each background story as it is published.

The video trailer link appears below in case you have not yet seen it.

This image shows how Catherwood and Stephens found the Temple of Kukulkan, or El Castillo, at Chichen-Itza. Notice how grown over the pyramid is, and how the Kukulkan serpent heads are scattered on the ground around the ruins. No one at that time knew anything was inside this ruined Mayan temple.

The next slide is a common representation of a ""Mayan Calendar" but is in fact only a representation of the Mayan time carrier in the center, carrying the glyph "Ahau", and showing glyphs around the edge that were used for counting time.

This is a relatively recent commercial design and does not date from the ancient Maya history. The design is fairly popular and can be found on everything from T-shirts to ash trays.


These two slides show representations of the Mayas that are somewhat famous, and yet do not truly represent the Maya, but are impressions of others of what they found.

What do we really need to know about the Maya and their culture that is authentic to their prophecies, their designs, and to their achievements? Read the new fiction novel "The Lost Calendar of the Maya" to find out.

The Story behind the Video Trailer, Part 2!

"Exciting video! Awesome trailer! What is that picture? What is that song? How does it connect with your new book?"

 I am posting  an update on this blog every day that will explain how the slides for the video trailer of  "The Lost Calendar of the Maya: The Return of Kukulkan" are connected to the story line. If you want to catch the whole story, subscribe to this blog or follow it and you will get each background story as it is published.

Here is the second set of slides for the video background update. The video trailer link appears below  if you have not yet seen it.



This image shows the Feathered Serpent Kukulkan, revered by the Maya as the god who could fly and who would one day return to Earth to begin a New Age. Notice the feathers carved onto the body of the serpent, which could also represent tongues of flame.

The serpent bears the same squared-off head structure of the serpent carvings at the Temple of the High Priest and the Temple of Kukulkan (El Castillo) at Chichen-Itza.

The Second slide shows a feared Maya figure Bolon Yokte' K'uh, who is prophesied to descend to the earth with a serpent on December 21, 2012 at the end of the current B'aktun calendar cycle.

Bolon Yokte' K'uh is considered a mysterious part of the Mayan pantheon of gods and is referred to in the Tortuguero Monument 6 stele which we will see later in the video. This the only Mayan carving that refers to the Julian calendar date of December 21, 2012, and says simply "...it will happen...he (it) will descend...".  It is said that when he returns with the serpent, he will represent the Nine Gods of the Mayan Underworld.


The last slide is a representation of Kukulkan as a serpent which has devoured a man or from which a man's head is protruding. This combination serpent-human image has potential significance to the form in which Kukulkan will return in 2012.

Which of the forms will Kukulkan will take, assuming that Kukulkan returns to Earth in 2012 as the Mayans prophesied?
