My Aztec drawing :)

It's been years since the last time I drew something, and since we all survived December 21 2012 I thought I would share this little picture I drew. I hope you guys like it.

I love to study the history of civilizations, one my favorite is the Aztec because this civilization was from Mexico my parent's homeland. Mexico is multicultural, there were many tribes such as the Mayans, Aztecs, Olmec, Tarahumara ... etc. There is about 219 different languages, 7 of them are extinct. But the most powerful tribe was the Aztec in the ancient city of Tenochtitlan A.K.A Mexico City. They built great pyramids in Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza, they had a hieroglyphic language, mummified their dead, and they kept track of time with their own calendar and zodiac very much like the ancient Egyptians.

These people observed the sky and they followed the equinox. December 21 2012 in the Mayan calendar didn't say the world would end, but instead would be the end of a era and the beginning of a new cycle after 5,000 years. But I found out that the ancient Egyptians also said that this date would be the beginning of a zodiacal age that happens every 25,000 years the earth would finish rotating on it's axis and start a new rotation, although according to their calendar the world is only 6,000 years old similar to Jewish calendar that says the world is 5773 years old. The ancient Egyptians celebrated December 21st as a mid solstice festival.

I'm really amazed how these two ancient civilizations shared so many things in common and were so far apart. All the ancient civilizations who built some type of pyramids, had their own hieroglyphs, and zodiac etc are connected perfectly in distance forming a circle around the world from outer space.

Have you ever wondered where did these people get their knowledge? How did they all do the same things if they were so far away from each other and they all spoke different languages?

Did they have internet? lol! :D
