Native America before European Colonization
Native America before European Colonization
Upon the arrival of Columbus in 1492 in the Carabean Islands, unknown to Columbus (and majority of the Eastern Hemisphere), he landed on Islands located in the middle of two huge continents now known has North America and South America that was teaming with huge Civilizations (that rivaled any in the world at that time) and thousands of smaller Nations and Tribes. With recent estimations, the population may have been over 100 million people that spanned from Alaska and Green Land, all the to the tip of southern South America.

Secrets of Egypt & pre Columbian Mexico
Secrets of Egypt & pre Columbian Mexico
Whitley continues with the interview with William Henry that might finally reveal the secrets of both Egypt and pre-Columbian Mexico. William found mica at Abu Garab in Egypt that is similar to what is found at TeotihuacÂ?n in Mexico. He suggests that the fact that this substance was gathered at both places may mean that a very advanced civilization existed in both places in the past, that was capable of making use of some of the electrical capabilities of mica. Then Linda Moulton Howe interviews and retired Air Force officer who claims that a crashed UFO was recovered during the 1983 Grenada invasion. The pre-Columbian history of the territory now within the contemporary nation of Mexico is known through the work of archaeologists and epigraphers, and through the accounts of the conquistadors, clergymen, and indigenous chroniclers of the immediate post-conquest period. While relatively few documents (or codices) of the Mixtec and Aztec cultures of the Post-Classic period survived the Spanish conquest, more progress has been made in the area of Mayan archaeology and epigraphy. Human presence in the Mexican region was once thought to date back 40,000 years based upon what were believed to be ancient human footprints discovered in the Valley of Mexico, but after further investigation using radioactive dating, it appears this is untrue. It is currently unclear whether 21,000-year-old campfire remains found in the Valley of Mexico are the earliest human remains in Mexico. Indigenous peoples of Mexico began to selectively breed maize plants around 8000 BC. Evidence shows a marked increase in pottery working by 2300 B.C. and the beginning of intensive corn farming between 1800 and 1500 B.C.. Between 1800 and 300 BC, complex cultures began to form. Many matured into advanced pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations such as the: Olmec, Izapa, Teotihuacan, Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec, Huastec, Purepecha, Totonac, Tarascan, "Toltec" and Aztec, which flourished for nearly 4,000 years before the first contact with Europeans. While many city-states, kingdoms, and empires competed with one another for power and prestige, Mexico can be said to have had five major civilizations: The Olmec, Teotihuacan, the Toltec, the Aztec and the Maya. These civilizations (with the exception of the politically fragmented Maya) extended their reach across Mexico, and beyond, like no others. They consolidated power and distributed influence in matters of trade, art, politics, technology, and theology. Other regional power players made economic and political alliances with these five civilizations over the span of 3,000 years. Many made war with them. But almost all found themselves within these five spheres of influence.- published: 17 Nov 2013

Onca Nagual
This hand-animated loop is the product of pondering therianthropy as a connection between people, land, animals, and beliefs.
Therianthropy, the transformation of humans into animals, creates fascination in most ancient and modern cultures but has no unanimous interpretation. This type of metamorphosis is thought to be triggered by certain times, cosmic events, or accomplishments of the will but can also be an effect of location. Pre-columbian Mesoamerican beliefs include the tonalli, a day associated with an animal that would reflect the strengths and weaknesses of people who are born on that day. Nagual's are individuals who are capable of transforming into their tonal in order to augment their power, either spiritual, physical, or otherwise. The Jaguar is the most spiritually charged Nagual and is identified with warriors, kings and high priests.
European therianthropes are less common and the ability to turn into an animal is mostly reserved for the cursed. Were-wolves, vampires, and victims of witches' spells are the most prevalent shape-shifters in European folklore. These individuals do not receive the positive attributes of animals, only the problematic ones that make them monstrosities. During the colonial era, Europeans projected many judgements onto other lands, calling Africa 'the Dark Continent', renaming America and calling it 'the New World', and identifying the Jaguar as Panthera onca. By bringing certain words and beliefs into a new land and initiating exploitative and invasive practices, Europeans may have activated their own therianthropic myths of monstrosity via revolution about the earth rather than the moon.

Racism A History 1
1. THE COLOUR OF MONEY
An examination of prevailing attitudes towards human difference in the writings of some of the major philosophers and historians of antiquity, including Herodotous, Aristotle, and Plutarch. The episode also assesses the implications of Old Testament dogmas concerning the pre-destined attributes of the different ‘races’ (specifically, the idea that the major racial groups were supposedly the descendants of Noah’s sons - Ham, Shem and Japheth – and that Black people were victims of ‘The Curse of Ham’). The development of the idea of ‘race’ is traced as a pseudo-biological category throughout the English Tudor period (particularly the literary application of the concept in Shakespeare). Significant changes in ideas about race are identified that coincided with the event that would shape racial ideas for centuries: the Columbian adventure in the ‘New World’ and the subsequent development and institutionalisation of the Transatlantic Slave Trade – an event that led to the dehumanisation, exploitation and inferiorisation of Africans - and the outright extermination of Native Americans.
Also shown is how the idea of ‘race’ was understood and expressed in the writings of some of the giants of the European Enlightenment, including the 17th Century British philosopher John Locke (who profited from slavery, and invested in the Royal Africa Company, which traded in slaves); and the 18th Century thinker David Hume, who wrote, “I am apt to suspect the negroes and in general all the other species of men [for there are four or five different kinds] to be naturally inferior to the whites. There never was a civilized nation of any other complexion than white, nor even any individual eminent either in action or speculation.” Meanwhile, in continental Europe, French philosopher Montesquieu penned a famous essay attacking slavery, and yet could still say of African slaves: “These creatures are all over black, and with such a flat nose that they can scarcely be pitied. It is hardly to be believed that God, who is a wise Being, should place a soul, especially a good soul, in such a black ugly body”.
There are many other examples and from some of the pre-eminent intellectual figures of the age. One of Montesquieu’s contemporaries and compatriots, the writer Georges-Louis Buffon, declared that “Donkeys are degenerate horses; apes degenerate men. The Negro is to man what the donkey is to the horse”, while the hugely influential German thinker Immanuel Kant offered the insight: “The Negroes of Africa have by nature no feeling that rises above the trifling”.
These ideas percolated into the work of those who considered themselves scientists. The Swedish biologist Carolus Linnaeus devised a fourfold categorisation of humanity, consisting of Americanus (who were “stubborn, warlike, and uncivilized”); Asiaticus (“melancholy, severe, conceited and stingy”); Africanus (“cunning, passive, inattentive, impulsive and shameless, too, because of the habit of their women to lactate profusely”); and Europaeus ( who is “changeable, clever, and inventive. He puts on tight clothing. He is governed by laws.”)
In the 1790s, the English surgeon Charles White published his Account of the Regular Gradation in Man, a book that attempted to reconcile this ‘natural’ racial hierarchy into the idea of ‘The Chain of Being’ – a notion that conceived of the universe as a divinely-ordered progression from lower life-forms to the creatures occupying the highest plateau of existence: European Man.
Towards the end of the 18th Century, the German physiologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach produced a series of works that supported White’s view. Blumenbach developed the racial categories which came to dominate all discourse on race for almost 200 years. Based on his studies of skulls, he produced a five-sided system which defined white Europeans as ‘Caucasian’; black Africans as ‘Negroid’; East Asians as ‘Mongoloid; and those from the Pacific region ‘Malays’.
Blumenbach’s development of this racial taxonomy has encouraged some historians to describe him as ‘The Father of Scientific Racism’. But in this film, we reveal the little-known details of Blumenbach’s Pauline conversion – the major revision of his ideas that took place in later life. In the 1820s, his anatomical studies yielded new results, leading him to conclude that there was at least as much (and possibly even more) human diversity among Africans than between Europeans – and that Africans were not inferior to the rest of humanity after all.
Although it is only Blumenbach’s early work that is remembered today, there were a few sources of resistance to Europe’s explicitly racist intellectual consensus. Throughout the 17th and 18th Centuries (an age which we generally associate with the emergence of enlightened, humanistic and progressive thinking), there were very few voices that dis

ABOUT...
The Calendar
The Maya calendar is a system of distinct calendars and almanacs used by the Maya civilization of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, and by some modern Maya communities in highland Guatemala.
http://werievents.wordpress.com/2008/11/26/1453/
These calendars can be synchronized and interlocked, their combinations giving rise to further, more extensive cycles.
By the Maya mythological tradition, as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions, the deity Itzamna is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendar system to the ancestral Maya, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Maya culture.
Asteroids, sometimes called minor planets or planetoids, are small Solar System bodies in orbit around the Sun, especially in the inner Solar System; they are smaller than planets but larger than meteoroids.

The story begins as most fairy tales end with a heaven sent wedding between Estelle Arpels and Alfred Van Cleef. Estelle is the daughter of a precious stone wholesaler and the sister of expert gemmologists. Alfred is the son of a diamond merchant from Amsterdam. The year is 1896, the die is cast, their adventure will be enriched over the year by fidelity, feminity, glamour and excellence. Today, the spirit of the family is alive: creativity and craftsmanship are pillars of the Van Cleef & Arpels soul expressed through the technical mastery with the Mystery Setting or the expertise in the art of transformations.
