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 facilitate proper scheduling of agricultural activities. Further, while some buildings recorded Venus extremes, a previously unknown orientation group has been found to refer to major lunar standstill positions. Some important buildings, aside from exhibiting astronomical orientations, are aligned to prominent features of natural or cultural landscape, implying a deliberate selection of these places for their construction. Discussing some relevant contextual evidence, we argue that Maya architectural and urban planning was dictated by a complex set of rules, in which astronomical considerations and their practical uses were embedded in a broader framework of cosmological concepts.

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:
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 reference to yearly solar and agricultural cycles, and longer cycles of time, especially katuns, that played a role in Lowland Maya geopolitical structuring.

Full text
Abstract:
The astronomy of the ancient Maya is an impressive achievement. Without the use of optical instruments, the Maya of the Classic period observed and recorded recurrent eclipse periods as well as the synodic orbit of Venus. Early work on the Maya hieroglyphs interpreted the chronological and calendric systems of the Classic period inscriptions and demonstrated the existence of a lunar synodic calendar. Many of the Lunar Series hieroglyphs that record the lunar synodic calendar have been interpreted, but the meaning of Glyph X has remained unknown. This report offers the explanation that Glyph X records positions in an eighteen-month lunar calendar. The Classic period Maya may have used this eighteen-month calendar to establish an average length for the lunar synodic month.

Data from the U. S. Naval Observatory annual astronomical almanacs (1970–1992) in “correlation” with the Maya Calendar Round (CR) sequence indicate that the Dresden Codex lunar table (51a-58b) very probably counted simultaneous sequences of both lunar and solar eclipses on the same set of day names. The contemporary sequence of day names in the CR and the astronomy consistent with it parallels Classic-period Maya observational experience between 9.16.0.0.0 and 9.17.0.0.0.

Abstract:
Lowland Maya civilization flourished in the tropical region of the Yucatan peninsula and environs for more than 2500 years (~1000 BCE to 1500 CE). Known for its sophistication in writing, art, architecture, astronomy, and mathematics, Maya civilization still poses questions about the nature of its cities and surrounding populations because of its location in an inaccessible forest. In 2016, an aerial lidar survey across 2144 square kilometers of northern Guatemala mapped natural terrain and archaeological features over several distinct areas. We present results from these data, revealing interconnected urban settlement and landscapes with extensive infrastructural development. Studied through a joint international effort of interdisciplinary teams sharing protocols, this lidar survey compels a reevaluation of Maya demography, agriculture, and political economy and suggests future avenues of field research.

Abstract:
It is well known that the rich culture of old Maya contained, among other, also a very complicated and complex calendar, in which they recorded not only historical events, but also significant astronomical phenomena. Main source of information is the Dresden Codex, roughly covering the interval between 280 and 1325 AD. The problem of the so-called correlation between Mayan and our calendars (expressing the difference between Long Count of Mayan calendar and Julian date) is very old, there exist about fifty different solutions that mutually differ by up to hundreds of years. Out of these, historians mostly accept the so-called Goodman-Mart?nez-Thompson (GMT) value of 584 283 days, which is based almost entirely on historical events. On the contrary, we stressed very precisely dated astronomical data, demonstrated the contradictions of GMT with them, and derived the so-called B?hm correlation (BB) of 622 261 days, which is in excellent agreement with astronomical phenomena recorded in Dresden Codex. Maya researchers are mostly convinced that Maya did not pay much attention to Mercury. Here we conclude that the truth is opposite; we analyze the data in Dresden Codex and find many records corresponding to visibility of Mercury near its maximum elongations from the Sun, and also to their conjunctions.

Abstract:
Abstract“Mesoamerican Cultural Astronomy and the Calendar” is a Special Section including articles that explore portions of Mesoamerica where astronomy and calendars were studied by Indigenous peoples. Scholars who are well known for innovative work in astronomy, such as Aveni, as well as Pineda de Carías, Rivera, and Argueta, consider topics that fall under the rubric of cultural astronomy. Epigraphers or experts in hieroglyphic writing, like Justeson and Vail, deal in explicit ways with issues related to calendar development. An art historian, Milbrath, weighs in on the meaning of astronomical and calendar themes using important documents incorporating both images and texts. An archaeologist, Dowd, and an architect, Carrasco, discuss architectural complexes with orientations significant in horizon-based astronomy. This rich cross-disciplinary collection of articles debuts new discoveries that interweave astronomy, time measurement, and ritual behavior commemorating cycles of death and rebirth among Maya peoples who lived betweena.d.225–1519 in what is now Honduras, Belize, Mexico, and Guatemala.

Abstract:
Old Mayas designed a very complicated calendar, and they also recorded important historical events and astronomical phenomena. Dresden Codex (DC), one of the four preserved Mayan hieroglyphic literal legacies, contains many of these, covering the classical period of Maya history. The records of these events in DC are given in the so-called Long Count (LC), the number of days elapsed from the origin of Maya chronology. The difference between LC and Julian Date, used in today's astronomy, is traditionally called correlation. More than fifty different values of the correlation have been published so far, and the differences among them can reach up to several centuries. The value, mostly accepted by Maya historians, is the one by Goodman-Mart?ez-Thompson (GMT), equal to 584 283 days. It is based mostly on events extracted from sources of the post-classical period of Maya history. Brothers B?hm used Maya astronomical records to derive the B?hm correlation (BB) of 622 261 days. It is in excellent agreement with the dates of astronomical phenomena recorded in DC. During past decades we published several papers supporting validity of the BB correlation. They are based on the records of different astronomical phenomena in DC and stelae, such as solar eclipses, planetary conjunctions, greatest elongations of Mercury and Venus from the Sun, or heliacal risings and settings. The present study is devoted to newly found recorded dates on page D74 of Dresden Codex. We were able to identify six of them with conjunctions of planets Venus through Saturn (corresponding to years 491, 495, 496, 501, 531, and 571), when BB correlation was applied.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Maya 2012 prophecy foretells events that will occur at the close of the current Maya ‘era’ and at the end of the 13th BˈAKTUN period of the Maya calendar. This paper explores the mythic and astronomical events that occurred previously at the start of the Maya era in 3114 BC corresponding to the close of the first 13-BˈAKTUN period. These two 13-BˈAKTUN Period Endings, separated by a span of approximately 5125 years, are like two bookends on a single shelf that inextricably link ancient Maya conceptions of time, mythic history and prophecy. The following presentation will demonstrate how in this case, the past is very much prologue. Mythic events and godly actions recorded at the beginning of the era directly parallel those actions that will occur at the end of the era. In addition, new insights will be shared into how ancient Maya scribes linked Era Day events to temple dedications and architecture to reflect the sun's daily solar trek—a journey charted and revered by ancient peoples from all corners of the Americas.

Abstract:
AbstractResearch presented here demonstrates that an unusual almanac in the Madrid Codex (pages 12–18) integrates observations of the Venus cycle with eclipse events in the context of the agricultural year. Imagery in the 260-day almanac represents eclipse glyphs associated with Tzolkin dates that coordinate with eclipses visible in Yucatan during the fifteenth century, indicating the almanac dates to the Late Postclassic. The almanac also depicts seasonal events in the context of a repeating pattern of paired solar eclipses associated with observations of Venus as the evening star. Quetzalcoatl-Kukulcan's counterpart in the Madrid almanac is the Chicchan serpent, who plays the role of Venus in a sequence showing a fertile aspect of the planet linked with the 260-day agricultural cycle and the Pleiades. Clearly, Venus positions and eclipse events were closely watched in relation to the planting cycle, reflecting a form of “agro-astronomy” that we are only now beginning to understand.

Abstract:
AbstractThe observation of the sky had an important rôle among the Maya, Aztecs and other prehispanic peoples of Mesoamerica. Their familiarity with the regularities of the apparent motion of the Sun, the Moon and bright planets is attested in a large amount of astronomical data contained in codices and monumental hieroglyphic inscriptions, as well as in their sophisticated calendrical system. On the other hand, the study of architectural alignments has disclosed that civic and ceremonial buildings were largely oriented on astronomical grounds, mostly to sunrises and sunsets on certain dates, allowing the use of observational calendars that facilitated a proper scheduling of agricultural and the associated ritual activities in the yearly cycle. Both accurate knowledge and other astronomically-derived concepts reveal that the significance attributed to certain celestial events by the ancient Mesoamericans can be explained in terms of the relationship of these phenomena with specific environmental and cultural facts, such as seasonal climatic changes and subsistence strategies. It was particularly due to its practical utility that astronomy, intertwined with religious ideas and practices, had such an important place in the worldview and, consequently, in the cosmologically substantiated political ideology of Mesoamerican societies

Abstract:
AbstractSpeculation about what ancient Maya texts have to say about 2012 is becoming a global phenomenon in popular culture. This speculation, largely apocalyptic, is more often based on acquaintance with historical Western interpretations than on familiarity with the texts themselves and their cultural contexts. This paper approaches the 2012 phenomenon through close readings of Maya texts and images considered within the contexts of historical and contemporary Maya culture and Western scholarship. It focuses on images of mythological events depicted on two Late Classic Maya vessels: the ‘Vase of the Seven Gods’ (Kerr no. 2796) and the ‘Vase of the Eleven Gods’ (Kerr no. 7750). These images are interpreted as representing deities, gathered in ‘cosmogonic conclave’, preparing to re-create the world with their sacrifices at the last completion of a great cycle and the beginning of a new 5,125-year 13-Bakˈtun Maya ‘Long Count’. The rites of passage are presided over by an enigmatic Venus-warrior/sacrificer deity previously known only as God L. God L's principal name and nature had remained undeciphered and his identity obscure until the author's researches resulted in the decipherment and ‘reading’ presented here. This study offers an explication of why God L, whom the author has demonstrated is the Maya god of tobacco among his many aspects, takes the senior role in presiding over these 13-Bakˈtun completion rituals and why it is reasonable to hypothesize that the same entities would be back for the fulfillment of the present cycle in 2012.

Abstract:
The ancient Mayan system of numeration is quite sophisticated, yet the basics are beautifully simple. It is an appealing system to teach to students of almost any age. Mayan numerals are composed of only three symbols, but with the power of place value and a symbol for zero, large numbers can be concisely written. With their interest in astronomy and the passage of time, the Maya (located in what is now Central America and Southern Mexico) developed accurate calendars using this numeration system. Mayan merchants often used cacao beans in making computations to keep track of their business transactions (Closs 1986).

Abstract:
AbstractExamining Ancient Maya notions about prophecies and their calendar cycles, we find that they predicted no ‘end of the Maya calendar’. Indeed, surviving texts and art indicate that they seem to have expected no change in the status quo whatever, for at least 4000 years into the future. This search also turned up evidence that different local schools of calendar-priests differed significantly from each other; it is entirely possible that priests in one city expected the End of the World, while their peers elsewhere believed the opposite.

Abstract:
The relationship between Maya and our calendar is expressed by a coefficient known as ?correlation? which is a number of days that we have to add to the Mayan Long Count date to get Julian Date used in astronomy. There is surprisingly large uncertainty in the value of the correlation, yielding a shift between both calendars (and thus between the history of Maya and of our world) to typically several hundred years. There are more than 50 diverse values of the correlation, some of them derived from historical, other by astronomical data. We test here (among others) the well established Goodman-Mart?nez-Thompson correlation (GMT), based on historical data, and the B?hms? one (B&B), based on astronomical data decoded from the Dresden Codex (DC); this correlation differs by about +104 years from the GMT. In our previous works we used several astronomical phenomena as recorded in the DC for a check. We clearly demonstrated that (i) the GMT was not capable to predict these phenomena that really happened in nature and (ii) that the GMT predicts them on the days when they did not occur. The phenomena used till now in the test are, however, short-periodic and the test then may suffer from ambiguity. Therefore, we add long-periodic astronomical phenomena, decoded successfully from the DC, to the testing. These are (i) a synchrony of Venusian heliacal risings with the solar eclipses, (ii) a synchrony of Venus and Mars conjunctions with the eclipses, (iii) conjunctions of Jupiter and Saturn repeated in a rare way, and (iv) a synchrony of synodic and sideric periods of Mercury with the tropical year. Based on our analysis, we find that the B&B correlation yields the best agreement with the astronomical phenomena observed by the Maya. Therefore we recommend to reject the GMT and support the B&B correlation.

Abstract:
AbstractMaya inscriptions contain numerous examples of long intervals of time that count both backward and forward from a fixed point of historical reference to specific mythological dates, often thousands of years in the past or future. This paper considers the evidence that these intervals incorporated precise calculations of both the sidereal year and the tropical year. Furthermore, it outlines a specific methodology for assessing the likelihood that these distance numbers were either intentionally calculated to incorporate these astronomical measurements, or if these results are merely coincidental.

Abstract:
Based on the theory of diffusive shock acceleration of charged particles, we have theoretically studied the spectra of protons produced by a shock wave driven by a coronal mass ejection (CME) in the lower solar corona with known solar plasma parameters for the solar cosmic ray (SCR) event recorded near the Earth’s orbit on May 7, 1978 (ground level enhancement no. 31, GLE31) using numerical methods. The proton flux data from the CPME instrument installed on the IMP-8 spacecraft and the worldwide network of ground-based neutron monitors combined with the particle measurements by the telescopes on the IMP-7 and IMP-8 satellites have been used to analyze the event. In our calculations, to satisfactorily reproduce the proton spectrum measured at the Earth’s orbit, the CME velocity was assumed to be constant and equal to 600 km s–1. The shock acceleration of SCRs proceeded up to 1.4 R⊙ solar radii for 256 s.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the favored correlation between the Mayan and Gregorian calendars, a time period of a little over 5125 solar years will be completed on the winter solstice of 2012. While numerous Classic Maya hieroglyphic texts feature the previous closing of this era in 3114 BCE, only one text—Monument Six of Tortuguero, Tabasco, Mexico—mentions the future event. The portion of the monument describing the event is damaged, and previous attempts to decipher this part of the text have been inconclusive. These have inadvertently led to popular and far-flung millenniarian speculations about ancient esoteric knowledge. The whole of Tortuguero Monument Six—an exquisite piece of Classic sculpture and literature—addresses the fundamental relationship between royal charter, warfare, captive sacrifice, appeasement of the gods, the ordering of time, and the stability of society for posterity. The author and her colleagues—employing high-resolution photos and great attention to script detail—have brought to light a more accurate interpretation of the damaged text. The results of this effort suggest a distant future ceremony of investiture for a deity of deep-time transitions whose reflexes can be seen in indigenous community celebrations of highland Guatemala.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Using orbital integrations of particles ejected from Comet Halley’s passages between 1404 and 240 BC, the authors investigate possible outbursts of the Orionids (twin shower of the Eta Aquariids) that may have been observed in the Western hemisphere. In an earlier orbital integration study, the authors determined there was a high probability linking probable outbursts of the Eta Aquariid meteor shower with certain events recorded in inscriptions during the Maya Classic Period, AD 250–900. This prior examination was the first scientific inquiry of its kind into ancient meteor outbursts possibly recorded in the Western hemisphere where previously no pre-Columbian observations had existed. In the current paper, the aim is to describe orbital dynamics of rare but probable Orionid outbursts that would have occurred on or near applicable dates recorded in the Classic Maya inscriptions. Specifically, significant probable outbursts are found in AD 417 and 585 out of 30 possible target years. The driving mechanisms for outbursts in those two years are Jovian 1:6 and 1:7 mean motion resonances acting to maintain compact structures within the Orionid stream for over 1 kyr. Furthermore, an Orionid outburst in AD 585 recorded by China is confirmed.

Abstract:
Perkembangan keilmuan falak merupakan buah karya atas kembalinya para ulama ke Indonesia dari Makkah maupun Timur Tengah. Mulai saat itu lahir beberapa tokoh falak dengan karyanya dengan model perhitungan yang bermacam-macam dan terus berkembang hingga sekarang. Salah satu ulama Aceh yang masih dikenal adalah Syekh Abbas Kutakarang. Ia terkenal sebagai ahli astronomi maupun astrologi di dunia Melayu. Berangkat dari hal tersebut, maka penulis ingin menelusuri bagaimana kontribusi Syekh Abbas Kutakarang tentang hisab penentuan awal bulan Hijriah. Penulis menggunakan penelitian jenis library research untuk mengumpulkan data tentang pemikiran Syekh Abbas Kutakarang dengan karyanya Tāj al-Mulūk yang terkait dengan hisab penentuan awal bulan Hijriah sebagai sumber primer. Hasil penelitian menyebutkan karya Syekh Abbas Kutakarang yang fenomenal adalah kitab Tāj al-Mulūk, di dalamnya terdapat konsep hisab urfi yang hampir sama dengan hisab aboge. Selama ini hisab urfi seperti aboge hanya dikenal di Jawa. Faktanya, Syekh Abbas Kutakarang juga menggunakan hisab seperti sistem aboge tetapi dengan konsep yang berbeda. Hisab urfi Syekh Abbas Kutakarang unik dan berbeda dengan hisab aboge dalam penentuan awal bulan Hijriah. Ia menggunakan kaidah ilmu falak tidak hanya untuk keperluan ibadah, melainkan untuk menghitung hari baik dan buruk, untuk pertanian dan menghitung musim. Hisab urfi Syekh Abbas Kutakarang dalam kajian ilmu falak tergolong dalam kajian etnoastronomi yaitu kajian yang menghubungkan antara astronomi dan budaya dalam penggunaan kaidah falak.Abstract: The development of astronomy is a work of the return of the scholars to Indonesia from Mecca and the Middle East. From then on, several celestial figures were born with their work with various calculation models and continue to grow until now. One of the Acehnese scholars who is still well known is Sheikh Abbas Kutakarang. He is famous as an astronomer and astrologer in the Malay world. Departing from this, the authors want to explore how the contribution of Sheikh Abbas Kutakarang about hisab of the beginning of the Hijri month. The author uses research library type research to collect data about the thoughts of Sheikh Abbas Kutakarang with his work Tāj al-Muluk related to hisab of early Hijri months as a primary source. The results of the study mention the phenomenal work of Sheikh Abbas Kutakarang is the book of Taj al-Muluk, in which there is a concept of urfi hisab which is almost the same as aboge hisab. So far, hisab of Ufi like Aboge is only known in Java. In fact, Sheikh Abbas Kutakarang also uses hisab like the aboge system but with a different concept. Hisab urfi Sheikh Abbas Kutakarang is unique and different from the hisab aboge in the determination of the beginning of the Hijri month. He uses the principle of astronomy not only for religious purposes, but to count good and bad days, for agriculture and for seasons. Hisab urfi Sheikh Abbas Kutakarang in the study of astronomy belongs to the study of ethnoastronomy, the study that connects astronomy and culture in the use of astronomical rules.
