Xultun's Astronomical Texts: New Interpretations Related to Planetary Motions Susan Milbrath 2025, Mexicon

https://www.academia.edu/175276513/Xultuns_Astronomical_Texts_New_Interpretations_Related_to_Planetary_Motions?email_work_card=title Texts in Los Sabios (Structure 10K-2) at Xultun, Guatemala, record calendar inscriptions of great relevance to ancient Maya astronomy. The structure incorporates calculations related to astronomy, and the accompanying murals represent a ruler and attendants, all of whom bear obsidian titles. The ruler himself is disguised as a deity who wears a scorpion tail, and three seated attendants are painted black, in keeping with their connection to obsidian, the shiny, dark stone so important to Maya concepts of rulership and economic power. The Xultun ruler with the obsidian title and a scorpion tail is accompanied by a date (Text 9a) in February 749 CE, when the planet Jupiter was located in Scorpius, which the Maya visualized as a scorpion constellation. Xultun’s “scorpion king” seems to represent a local deity related to Jupiter, a planet elsewhere associated with K’awil, the god of Classic Maya rulers. K’awil’s smoking obsidian mirror may provide a link to the Xultun ruler, who bears an obsidian title in a scene associated with events involving Jupiter. Multiple texts in Los Sabios seem to refer to the planet Jupiter. Text 50 equates 27 six-month lunar periods with 12 synodic periods of Jupiter, and a Distance Number (Text 47) links 81 lunations with six synodic periods of Jupiter. The 819-day count in Text 12 relates to the cycles of Jupiter and Saturn. The cycles of Mars and Venus are also important in Text 12, which records intervals related to the commensuration of planetary cycles. Venus and Saturn also seem to be of interest in Texts 8 and 33, which record dates that mark relatively rare occultation events. The Long Count date in Text 43 is especially intriguing, for it is one day after the equinox in March 761 CE, when the Moon and Mars were together in Gemini and Jupiter was in retrograde motion positioned in Scorpius, a constellation where it was stationed during part of the year. That date is also 12 years after the 749 CE date associated with the ruler, when Jupiter was also located in the scorpion constellation.

Interactions between sites from the Jacuí River, Vacacaí Mirim River and Ibicui Mirim River could have occurred because some samples from these sites are overlapping in a principal component analysis (PCA) graphic. The pottery provenance could be the same.

Curatorial team of the exhibition are Professors Ömür Harmanşah and Peri Johnson of University of Illinois Chicago, School of Art & Art History, with the substantive support of the administration and the archaeological experts of Ankara Anatolian Civilization Museum. In the Fall months of 1970, a sacred pool monument with carved Hieroglyphic Luwian Inscription of the Hittite Empire (1650-1175 BCE) was discovered at Yalburt Yaylası, an upland pasture of Konya Province, Ilgın district. This exhibition addresses the history of salvage excavations at this important archaeological site between 1970 and 1975, carried out by the leadership of Raci Temizer, who was the director of Ankara Museum at that time, and his team. His team included several important figures of Turkish archaeology and ancient history, including Mahmut Akok, Aliye Öztan, Levent Zoroğlu ve Kemal Balkan, who have dedicated their lives to Anatolian archaeology. At the same time, the exhibition also aims to share with museum visitors the results of Yalburt Yaylası Archaeological Landscape Research Project, carried out under the leadership of Dr. Ömür Harmanşah and Dr. Peri Johnson. Using videos, photographs, archaeological finds, field drawings, field notebooks, field forms, panels, and other objects of field experience, the exhibition carries the stories of fieldwork and stories from antiquity to the gallery space. Additionally the exhibition delivers the experience of archaeologists with archival documents and videorecordings to the museum. In the exhibition, visitors are able to enjoy artifacts from both the Ankara Anatolian Civilizations Museum and Akşehir Museum. This exhibition is part of a series of temporary exhibitions and publications that the Ankara Anatolian Civilizations Museum is putting together reflecting on the legacy data of past museum excavations. The exhibition is financially and institutionally supported by University of Illinois Chicago’s (USA) Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and the College of Architecture, Design and the Arts in addition to the Ankara Anatolian Civilizations Museum.
