Tletl, and Mathematics and the Number of the Goddess and - OH MY
Hmmm, on top of everything else that has happened today, some new men have appeared in my life.
I am harried and have too much to do in a short period of time. dondelion (Mr. Don) will be arriving in two days. I have SO much to do, including getting my hands on a new microwave so I can actually cook something other than in the oven or stove-top on my old faithful stove (thank Goddess THAT still works but - come to think of it, the stove is as old as the microwave was. It too could die at any time. EEK!)
So these new men have appeared, some sending me emails with mathematical formulae, one posting here under a topic I posted months ago. What is a chess femme to do?
Well, I will do my best, that is what I will do. But tonight I need to do online shopping for an emergency delivery microwave.
And so, Carlos, I am going to add your website to my list of websites to be visited, because I believe you certainly have the magic of the Goddess. I do not know what to make of you, Carlos. You are rather overwhelming.
To HHH and friends who have been sending me emails with esoteric formulae of numerological and gematric significance - I will post some of your information here in due course.
You have caught me at a really bad time! So please, be patient. (Not that I will have much to add to the discussions you seem to be intent on generating, since I do not understand most of what you are saying!)
My vacation starts on May 7th when Mr. Don arrives, and I won't REALLY be back "here" until May 26th. It is true I now have my new Acer netbook toy, but my intention is to use that primarily to post photographs and notes from our New York trip. My time with Mr. Don comes first and foremost. And when I go back to work on May 26th, my office is going to be pure CHAOS! That may take some time to get things back under control.
Carlos, you are being provocative. Cut bones - Yes. As you are no doubt well aware, the earliest gaming pieces were made out of animal bones - knuckle bones were the fore-runners of modern dice. During the long cold winters in caves during the Ice Age, people spent their time carving exquisite ivory figurines of women, birds, animals, and goddesses who were bird-women.
Ivory - Yes. The oldest ivory game pieces of which I am aware were carved by ancient Egyptians, in about 3500 BCE. They predate Narmer.
Chess going all the way back to the Ice Age? Even I have not dared go ack in time that far! I have said chess is as old as Noah and the Ark, and the place we should be looking for it's origins is in the mountains of Ararat. In the Caucasus Mountains, near Lake Van.
Now I really have to shop online for a new microwave. It MUST be delivered Thursday morning.
microwaves kill. radio frequency kills. why do you think there are so many down syndrome babies. pregnant women use them at waste level. they all leak. i have tested many. no one should use a microwave oven. check out http//www.wirelesswatchblog.com and the bioinitiative report on radio frequency and it's effect on biological systems. this is an entirely unregulated industry that operates with impunity in the united states. studies have been done worldwide and in europe and other parts of the world they are taking steps to reduce exposure. not in the u.s. where god and not goddess rules.
ReplyDeleteHello Anon mat 1:05 p.m. I certainly agree that the US is not under the Goddess these days, and could do with a good dose of Goddess magic. However, Downs Syndrome babies were being born long before microwave ovens, long before television, long before radio, long before cell phone telephones. For all we know, mutations in DNA could be caused by solar radiation. In any event, I am post-menopausal and am in no danger of conceiving a child, so I won't think twice about using a microwave oven. People are probably exposed to more radio frequencies by using cell phones as if they were appendages to one's ears! I don't own one of those. Perhaps you are aiming at the wrong target.

...tks, jan. the number of the
ReplyDeletegoddess is 5/coatl=snaca/snake/
nacatl(N)=flesh. they've found
the 5th arch at chauvet pont d'arc
painted cave where she was worshipped as regent of the tonalamatl/tonatiuh(N)=sun,
tonalli(N)=soul(tone/tune).
her animal is the ocelotl/
ocelome/(oc)elo(hi)m=elohim,
a hebrew god(in plural), also,
cell(E/biology).
her name= tlatla/flame
tzol/hole teotl/tea thea dea,
she discovered the fire/flame
drill so we could cook herbs
instead of have them cold.
she also invented the flute
(cf.,bearbone flute, 50k bc)
first used as bellows for the
firedrill. we are talking about
neandra promethea, the venus of
willendorf. her statues are found
everywhere in the old world.
at first she lacked iodine to have healthy babys. her husband was
tletl(N/firegod)/ t/l/red/t/l,
also from his name, read/letter/
t/let/l. tlatla/ t/l/radar/l/tla
lit t/l/red/t/l's fire, so to
speak. and so it begins.
the calendar/tonalamatl/booktunes
is found in george vaillant's,
aztecs of mexico, penguin pb,
brought to amerindia, 3309bc,
oldest mayan date, beginning
of 5th age, naui/4 movement/ollin=
holy. there you will find more
of her numbers. she is first
goddess, and in souls/tonaltin
she is the goddess of the 13days
of ollin/holy/movement from the
center(quake). so don't tell the
Friends she's a quaker goddess,
or they'll take her for their own.
later at zatal huyuk she hunted
bulls and aurochs with her totem
cats, traded obsidian with lady birdsnake, the weaving goddess
of belgrade and mother of quetzalcoatl, and held ocelome
dances(cf., zatal huyuk mural).
overwhelm? she overwhelms me.
Hola Carlos.
ReplyDeleteI am just about to go outside and cut the front grass. Mr. Don is raking in the backyard. I have shown him your website and he is fascinated, also with your last message. He said I should send you the scorpion goddess.
I cannot attach it as an image in a comment, so I will do a new post that contains it.
Jan
...sure, scor/lpio(n)=colotl(N),
ReplyDeletefrom the verb, coloa(N)=coil, curl,
colleen, cool, color, also,
choloa(N)=flee, then xolotl(N);
the evening star, twin of quetzalcoatl, morningstar.
my favorite is itzpapalotl/
obsidian butterfly, she's jefa/
chief of lady darts/tzitzimime,
who later become the greek furies,
they are women who have died in
their first childbirth/failed to bring their prisoner in:aztec warfare based on birthing principle) and want revenge on young children on the first days
of the western/calli(N)=house quadrant. we are in calli/house
now, day6 tochtli/rabbit.
itzpaplotl has skull for face and claws on her elbows and knees, she may be the pyroclastic surge of
volcanos, she alsways poses with
her head at her feet as if she's
diving into the earth, and has
two trenzas/pigtails. she's fierce.
the tzitzimime escort the sun from
noonday/tochtli/rabbit to sunset,
relieving the warriors who died on
the sacrifice stone, who have been
on duty since sunrise in the guise
of hummingbirds.
revenge
...how did, revenge/ r/te uen(tli)
ReplyDeletege/ce=the one/ce offrering/uentli
get to be last word? whoever is doing the cutline on my letters is
screwing up, probably me.
hummingbird revenge, that would
be to look beautiful and fly like
an anti-gravity machine. this is
huitzilopochtli/hummingbird from
the left/opochtli(N)/opposite,
the aztec war god's bird.
his mother, lady snake had retired
from life and marriage and was
working as a te(m)ple/tepetl(N)=
mountain/ sweeper when she came upon a ball of feathers, picked it up and put it in her sash, 9 mos
later she was preggers, her other
children the 400stars and tinkling bells(shades of peter pan),
coyolxauhqui, the moon, gathered
around her as she sat on the mountain top to give birth,
threatening her, nice kids,
but from inside her came huitzilo's
voice saying, don't be afraid,
mother i am here, and he was born
fully armed, like athena, and
outshone his brothers and sisters
for he was the sun. the ball of feathers/bird-sash myth is repeated
with variation in the mayan where
ixchel, moon goddess, is weaving and a bird lands on her loom,
she gives it a bat, knocks it silly, then pitys it and puts it
in her sash with same results
as lady snake, and then silly zeus,
to attract his sister, hera, poses
as a bedraggled cuckoo, is lodged
in her girdle and another flapjack
occurs. this talent for storytelling has been passed down
to the religions of today with
the same hilarious effect.
...ivory/ivol/ry(letra)=iueli(N)=
ReplyDeletepowerful, the same word that
winter/hivier/hibernia/iberia/
i(n)v(i)el/rno(letra)=invierno(sp)
root in, probably source for
the first totem animal, the bear/
ber vel/r uel(letra)=(i)uel(i)=
powerful. so, we're getting closer
to gravettian, 22k bc, chess pieces
with recent finding of 35k bc
tlatla tzol teotl/flamehole goddess
regent of tonalamatl, cave venus,
and she's ivory.
the firedrill comes out of
her cult, her animal the ocelotl(N)
and her husband, tletl/t/l/red/t/l
(letra). what's letra? it's the
alphabet code for language based
on sound, and comes from red/tletl,
e.g., t/let/l=let/letter, or,
t/l/red/tl(letra)=read(E), or,
t/ler/l/tl(letra)=leer(sp)=read,
or, t/leña/tl(letra)=leña(sp)=wood.
in the last case, ña=nahuatl tag.
...now, if we take, ma(r)fil(sp)=
ReplyDeleteivery/ivory/iueli(N), and apply
t/l/red/t/l letra:
ma(r)p/fil=mapilli/mapiloa(N)=
prince/-pilli of the hand/ma-=
the thumb. well, yeah, if i were
a gravettian mammoth hunter,
i would think of tusks as thumbs,
especially since it gave me an advantage over my neander buddys
hunting with me who didn't quite
have the strong thumbs i did, but
also when i worked ivory to make
my cave venuses or chess pieces,
my thumbs would be heavily involved
in carving and subsequent use of
the pieces because as cromag i'm all thumbs, even tho i suspect i am a neander cross, but who knows where or when? mapiloa(N)=to point,
and of course ivory is used as
finial for canes, tips, ballusters,
you name it, ivory has been there.
it keeps popping up in the russian tundra melt.
let's look at the word
for elephant/oliphant(moniker),
why that would be: ollin pantli(N)=
the holy flag, probably their
trunk, and the panther is also
named for flag/pantli/pamitl(N)/
P/fami(t)lle(letra)=family(E),
but it's the other end, panther's
tail that is flagged, and we note
it's a flower also, big cats love
flowers. so elephant/ollipant/tli,
whose flag is family, a family
of flags.
the russian word is, slon, which may simply be the
nauatl word, tzontli(N)=hair,
but instinct tells me it's more complicated than that, tzontli
is one of the wordroots for,sun, our principle star, in this
case refering to its rays.
anything goes in the new lingua,
if the spaniards can make s/th,
then tzontli/slon can be, tonatiuh,
or even, toniti(inuit), the name
ancestral memory has given to the
predecessors of the inuit, and this
may go all the way back to the gravettian hunters who came over
the iceflows of the north atlantic
to lay down the amerindian nauatl
languages here. tks
...did i say, mapilli/ma(r)fil is
ReplyDeletethe spanish for ivery/ivory/iueli,
and mapilli(N)=child of the hand,
later prince=piltzintecuhtli(N/god
of children)? also, hand, itself,
is from, tlantli(N)=tooth, as in
letra= tl/t/th/hand/t/tli. and
that tooth=tener colmillo(sp/phrase)=have wisdom. these
associations go all the way back to the neander firedrill, 40k bc to
300k bc. that neander had no thumb/
mapilli(N) as we do today but if
thumb is a child, then by cross-
breeding selection it appears
to have been born to help us
search for wisdom by helping us
craft gaming pieces and talismans,
the first being the fertility
form divine of our caving goddess.
...looking at the khasajas of the altai, tsaatan=mazatlan=deer place,
ReplyDeletewho are suníe moslems but not strict as they get along well with the buddhist majority, we find them riding deer and horse, living
in wikiyup tepees=tepetl(N)=mountain=te(m)ple(E), nomad herders and falconers, actually
eaglers, the hoods are made from
the front feet of the fox, fed
on watered rabbit of no nutrient
so it will hunt, even force fed
a small dado/die(dice)of wood which
absorbs and rubs the fat off the stomach wall(hope dieters don't get
ahold of this one)keeping it thin
and hungry for the hunt, ah, the
kasaja=caxaua(N)=render(cash)=
c/g(r)asa(sp)=grease, i guess,
the greasers(a typical tlapa arab
task for t/la(m)paras(sp)).
where am i going, oh yes, gaming
begins after the 40k glaciation when we enter deer culture, hitch
a ride so to speak on deer and
when we get to horse(a piece in chess)we are in orchard culture,
having left the nomad raingod,
tlaloc=rarog=t/l/rar/loc/g,
deity of deor/dior(OE)=deer(E),
and it is xocotl(N)=(x)o(r)ch/cotl=
orcha rd/tl culture, flower=
xochitl=macui xochitl=5flower=
god of games(and tobacco), ruled
by xochipilli(N)=flower prince,
and like all princes has to be entertained by all sorts of games.
the japanese, who arose from
orchard culture when it was in its
prime as majordomos of orchards,
who also went through deer culture,
e.g., uma(J)=horse=(u)mazatl(N/7)
as we all did, but their identity
as gens came during flowertime,
are a good study in orchard culture game origins. the horse
begins to be exploited in asia
first and then reaches the mideast
by 5k bc, seems late, but europe
and the mideast took their sweet time coming out of the caves.
when silver, gold, iron are discovered in the altai, the silk
trail begins, the turks leave the
altai c. 2.5k bc, metis rope sea
age of 4k bc has passed, then by
1.5k bc iron is being smelted on
the italian boot by the etruscans,
the japanese are working maguey
orchards for the olmeca quiahuizteca/rain olmecs, ah,
quiauitl(N/19)=storm=auitl=aristo/
harvest=implicates aristocracy
began during the stormy orchard
culture age along with games,
which fits chess king and queen,
made from social surplus(and are
they ever).
Hola Carlos,
ReplyDeleteI haven't even read your entire comment yet, and already you have me amazed, astounded and laughing out loud, too. I am going to copy your entire comment and put it in a new post.
I do not know if I will get to that tonight. The Olympics are on t.v. and I love watching figure skating :)
...tks. quiahuitl(N/19soultone)=
ReplyDeletequi-/who waters/-ahuitl=ah(r)i(s)tl
=aristo(gk)=a(r)ui(s)t=harvest.
of course cards from the tone/
tonalamatl/tonalli(N)=soul of
ecatl(N/2)=ca(r)d/tl=card=hecate= quadrant=north=mictlampa=deathside=spades/swords, she's the queen= gwen(OE)=uentli(N)=wind(E), e.g.,
tarot=tarrochi/tarok=t/tlal/rok=
tlaloc(N)=comes to earth=raingod
of deer/mazatl(N/7tones)time.
to recap mazatl(N/7): is the
root of words:meat,masyes(berber), maxeltov/matso(Hebrew=tepeua(N)=
tepee owners/mountain owners),
ma(n)za(na)=apple in spanish,
mazard(E)=deer cherry=maza-xocotl(N), here the root of orchard=
-xocotl(N)=fruit, the cherry
blossom mystique of the japanese,
maxaad(somalian central language)=
maz/xaad/tl=mazatl.
israel=yisrael=yect/l/ra(e)lli(letra)=yectlalli(N)=
the good(yes)/yec-tlalli/land,
probably, mazyectlalli(N)=
the deer/maz-yec/yes land/-tlalli,
establishing their linguistic
connexion with the mazyes/berbers,
which, since the berbers have
the oldest sister haplo group
in europe, 52k bc, may be physical
as well.
