Lemuria and Atlantis

Last night I heard a fantastic speech on Lemuria and Atlantis at the Edgar Cayce Forum in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Una Marcotte‘s lecture included visuals showing the location of Atlantis and Lemuria. I especially loved her description of the Atlanteans and Lemurians. She is so good at describing the root races, which I discussed in my books When We Were Gods and Arrival of the Gods in Egypt.

Itzamna Carvings Hard to Come By

When we were filming in the Yucatan, I wanted a photo of a carving of Itzamna, the Maya Creator god. However, when I visited Chichen Itza, a couple of tours guides told me that three different looking carvings were of Itzamna. To tell you the truth, I am still not quite sure which image is the right one.

Some clues: Itzamna is usually depicted as toothless. Two of the carvings appear to be toothless. One has him sitting lotus position. I’m not sure about that. One carving has huge feathers, almost like wings, curving out of the top of the man’s head. Is that Itzamna? Very confusing.

Working on Izamal Today

Today’s and yesterday’s . . . and tomorrow’s . . . Yucatan Travel Movie editing time will be spent on Izamal, one of my favorite destinations in the Mexican state of Yucatan. Not only does this beautiful colonial city have the highest pyramid in the state of Yucatan, but also, it has a gorgeous historical convent, the site of an apparition of the Virgin Mary. Izamal also used to be the headquarters of the ancient Maya creator god, Izamna. I love the place. It’s beautiful and it is sacred ground.

Ek Balam is the Star Today

Ek Balam, Mayan for “Black Jaguar,” took center stage for editing in the Yucatan Travel Movie today. Ek Balam is such a fascinating place. Absolutely amazing that its pyramid has a tomb in it . . . and, you enter the tomb via the huge mouth of a giant carved monstrous image of a god’s mouth. Not that we tourists are allowed inside the tomb. But, we can look into the monster mouth, past its huge curved teeth and also be impressed by the monster god’s huge eyes, the lids of which are held up by people carved in stone. I find the two men with wings the most intriguing. What were they? Angels?

Also, this tomb is not under the structure as it Palenque, but 2/3 up the edifice. It makes me wonder if other pyramids have tombs hidden within them.

Reviewing the footage brought me back to that very hot day in January a year ago when we visited this wondrous site that is relatively free of tourists. Perhaps few tourists come here because they are all at nearby Chichen Itza.
