Abstract:
The presence of very large time intervals in Maya hieroglyphic inscriptions has prompted a proposal that the period of the roughly 25,770-year precession of the equinoxes is among those in the historical record, by showing that some very long recorded intervals are near whole multiples of the sidereal year. Analysis of Maya long numbers shows the arguments for such a proposal to be invalid and the claims implausible. It argues methodologically for the effectiveness of basic, shorter-term calendrical intervals, and substantively for Maya daykeepers focusing on the solstices rather than equinoxe

Abstract:
This article summarises recent systematic research into the use and significance of astronomical orientations in ancient Maya architecture, and shows how by applying a more rigorous methodology to a large number of orientations we were able to detect alignment patterns that shed light on the validity of former hypotheses and provide a basis for novel interpretations. Our measurements and analysis confirm that orientations to the Sun’s position on the horizon, which largely prevail, allowed the use of observational calendars composed of multiples of 13 and 20 days and were also intended to faci

Abstract:
Archaeoastronomy in Europe, when it comes to megalithic sites, is still at the perhaps stage: perhaps there was some systematic understanding of the heavens that can be called astronomy, perhaps there was not. In the Americas matters are different, with the ‘long-count’ and other systems showing a clear interest in calendars, and in the timely movements of the heavens. Here the lunar order of the Maya scheme of things is set out.

Abstract:
Abstract The Aztecs, Maya and other Mesoamerican peoples achieved advanced knowledge of the regularities of the apparent motion of the Sun, Moon and various planets visible with the naked eye, particularly Venus. Much of this knowledge enabled orientation in space and time and was particularly useful for scheduling agricultural activities. However, since the celestial order is apparently superior to that on Earth, the phenomena observed in the sky were believed to exert influence on earthly affairs. Therefore, the exact astronomical knowledge was intertwined with religious beliefs and ritual p

Abstract:
E-group architectural assemblages, constructed and used for more than a millennium in the Maya Lowlands, are among the most distinctive and enduring forms in Mesoamerican monumental architecture. Since the 1920s, E-groups have been thought to mark the solstices and equinoxes, but more recent investigations have shown that these alignments were rarely accurate. We argue that accurate solar alignment was probably only a minor element, and primarily an early one, of a larger set of metaphorically linked design considerations that included concepts of sacred geography, ritual performance in refere

The Eclipse Table, on pages 51-58, of the Dresden Codex has long fascinated Maya scholars. Researchers use the mean-value method of 173.3 days to determine nodal passage that is the place where eclipses can occur. These studies rely on Oppolzer's Eclipse Canon and Schram's Moon Phase Tables to verify eclipse occurrences. The newer canons of Jean Meeus and Bao-Lin Liu use decimal accuracy. What would be the effect of modern astronomical data on the previous studies and the Maya Eclipse Table? The study utilizes a general view of eclipses that includes eclipses not visible to the Maya.

Full text
Abstract:
The hypothetical “Dimming Effect” describes the change of the number of photons arriving from a moving light source per unit of time. In non-relativistic systems, the “Dimming effect” may occur due to the growing distance of light sources moving away from the receiver. This means that due to the growing distance, the photons continuously require more time to reach the receiver, which reduces the number of received photons per time unit compared to the number of emitted photons. Understandably, the proposed “Dimming effect” must be tested (confirmed or rejected) through observations. a. This ar
