Link to the Full Decipherment Photo Image for SaksayWaman

This post has a link to our full decipherment photo image for SaksayWaman.

UPDATE: The link below in this posting gives you a quick panorama photo but Blogger compresses the data so much that the image text is not readable, even if you click the image. Accordingly, we now have a link to the original bitmap at http://ancientworldblog.blogspot.com/2015/06/readable-full-decipherment-photo-image.html but be aware that 120 MB takes time to load (minutes), if at all, depending on the speed of your internet connection and your hardware.

Because of the size of the panorama image (20064 pixels wide and ca. 9.8 MB as a jpg), it can not be reproduced in full size here given the blog dimensions.

Full Decipherment Image of SaksayWaman as Astronomy
Our decipherment of Saksaywaman, Cuzco, Peru,
relies upon a fantastic panorama photograph of SaksayWaman
by Martin St-Amant:

Please note that we are not affiliated with Martin St-Amant in any way and that our interpretation of Saksaywaman via his original photograph is our opinion alone. We have added the "helping" colored lines and explanatory text interpretation materials in the photograph above.

The decipherment must be considered quite "provisional" since there are still many unanswered questions. One of them is whether the otherwise unidentified individual boulders (megaliths) or smaller groups of stones, especially those that seem to be in a pattern, represent particular stars in the sky. We are certain that there is more to the site than what we have initially discovered.

    Both book volumes contain the following basic book description:
    "Alice Cunningham Fletcher observed in her 1902 publication in the American Anthropologist
    that there is ample evidence that some ancient cultures in Native America, e.g. the Pawnee in Nebraska,
    geographically located their villages according to patterns seen in stars of the heavens.
    See Alice C. Fletcher, Star Cult Among the Pawnee--A Preliminary Report,
    American Anthropologist, 4, 730-736, 1902.
    Ralph N. Buckstaff wrote:
    "These Indians recognized the constellations as we do, also the important stars,
    drawing them according to their magnitude.
    The groups were placed with a great deal of thought and care and show long study.
    ... They were keen observers....
    The Pawnee Indians must have had a knowledge of astronomy comparable to that of the early white men."
    See Ralph N. Buckstaff, Stars and Constellations of a Pawnee Sky Map,
    American Anthropologist, Vol. 29, Nr. 2, April-June 1927, pp. 279-285, 1927.
    In our book, we take these observations one level further
    and show that megalithic sites and petroglyphic rock carving and pictographic rock art in Native America,
    together with mounds and earthworks, were made to represent territorial geographic landmarks
    placed according to the stars of the sky using the ready map of the starry sky
    in the hermetic tradition, "as above, so below".
    That mirror image of the heavens on terrestrial land is the "Sky Earth" of Native America,
    whose "rock stars" are the real stars of the heavens, "immortalized" by rock art petroglyphs, pictographs,
    cave paintings, earthworks and mounds of various kinds (stone, earth, shells) on our Earth.
    These landmarks were placed systematically in North America, Central America (Meso-America) and South America
    and can to a large degree be reconstructed as the Sky Earth of Native America."
