know by now that beginning with the discovery of a colossal >stone head in

1869, an advanced civilization that preceded the Mayas and >Aztecs of Mexico

came to light. Its leaders and bearers were >unmistakably black Africans. They

were arbitrarily named by >archaeologists "Olmecs"; and their embarrassing

enigma -- of who they >were, and how they had come across the ocean, and why,

was compounded by >the timing of their arrival in the New World. > >Once it was

conceded (very grudgingly!) that the 'Olmecs' did indeed >represent the earliest

or even Mother Civilization of Mesoamerica, the >date of their arrival was at

first set at about 250 B.C.; then at about >500 B.C.; then farther back and

back, until 1500 B.C. was acknowledged. > > But I have argued for a date twice

as old! > > A God and His Secret Number > >My conclusion that the Olmec

presence in the New World went back at >least 5,000 years, to circa 3000 B.C.,

was reached by many paths. The >first one was an attempt to identify the great

god of Mesoamerica, the >Winged Serpent (Quetzalcoatl to the Aztecs, Kukulkan

to the Mayas), and >the significance of his promise to return to those lands on

the first >day of a 52-year cycle, (AD 1519, when the Aztec king Montezuma

believed >that the appearance of the Spanish conquistador Cortez was such a

>Return, coincided with the anticipated sacred date). > >The peoples of

Mesoamerica employed in addition to a practical calendar >of 365 days, called

the Haab, also a Sacred Calendar (called Tzolkin) of >260 days. The two

cyclical calendars were conceived as two wheels with >meshing teeth that turned

and returned to the same spot once in 52 >years; and 52 was the Sacred Number of

the Winged Serpent god? > >Since 52 was also the Secret Number of the god known

to the Egyptians as >Thoth; since Thoth as Quetzalcoatl, was the god of science

and the >calendar; and since Thoth was exiled from Egypt circa 3100 B.C., I have

>suggested that it was he who took a group of his African followers to a >new

land, bringing the "Olmecs" to Mesoamerica. > >Accordingly, I said, Olmec

presence goes back to at least 3000 B.C. -- a >date twice as old as that

conceded by established archaeologists. > > The Mysterious "Day One" > >By the

time I was writing The Lost Realms, the book devoted to the >prehistory of the

Americas, I was sure that the arrival of the Olmecs >with Thoth/Quetzalcoatl

could be established with astounding precision. >The key to unlocking the

enigma was the Olmec Calendar. > > In addition to the Haab and the Tzolkin,

there was in Mesoamerica a >third calendar, used to inscribe dates on

monuments. Given the name the >Long Count, it was not cyclical as the other

two, but linear -- a >continuous one, counting the total number of days that

had passed since >the counting began on a mysterious Day One. > > By means of

glyphs denoting groups of days (1, 20, 360, 7,200 or even >144,000) and dots

and bars giving the number for each group-glyph, >monuments were dated by

saying: A total of so many days from Day One >have passed when this Monument

was erected. > > But what was that Day One, when did it occur, and what was its

>significance? > > It has been established beyond doubt that this Long Count

calendar was >the original Olmec calendar; and it is now generally agreed that

Day One >was equivalent to August 13, 3113 B.C. > > But what does that date

signify? As far as I know, the only plausible >answer was provided by me: It

was the date of Thoth/Quetzalcoatl's >arrival, with his followers in

Mesoamerica! > >The Unexpected Corroboration > >All official publications

continue, however, to remain at 1250 B.C. -- >1500 B.C. at most -- as the date

of the start of the Olmec presence. > >Imagine my pleasant surprise to come

across an eye-witness report by the >astronaut Gordon Cooper in chapter 11 of

his book A Leap of Faith. >"During my final years with NASA," he writes, "I

became involved in a >different kind of adventure: undersea treasure hunting in

Mexico." One >day, accompanied by a National Geographic photographer, they

landed in a >small plane on an island in the Gulf of Mexico; local residents

pointed >out to them pyramid-shaped mounds, where they found ruins, artifacts

and >bones. On examination back in Texas, the artifacts were determined to be

>5,000 years old! > >"When we learned of the age of the artifacts," Cooper

writes, "we >realized that what we'd found had nothing to do with

seventeenth-century >Spain... I contacted the Mexican government and was put in

touch with >the head of the national archaeology department, Pablo Bush Romero."

> >Together with Mexican archeologists the two went back to the site. After

>some excavating, Cooper writes, > > "The age of the ruins was confirmed: 3000

B.C. Compared with other >advanced civilizations, relatively little was known

about this one >--called the Olmec." > >Proceeding to describe some of the

amazing discoveries about the Olmecs >and their achievements, Gordon Cooper

continues thus: > > "Engineers, farmers, artisans, and traders, the Olmecs had

a remarkable >civilization. But it is still not known where they originated...

Among >the findings that intrigued me most: celestial navigation symbols and

>formulas that, when translated, turned out to be mathematical formulas >used

to this day for navigation, and accurate drawings of >constellations, some of

which would not be officially 'discovered' until >the age of modern

telescopes." > >It was this, rather than his experiences as an astronaut, that

triggered >Gordon Cooper's "Leap of faith": "This left me wondering: Why have

>celestial navigation signs if they weren't navigating celestially?" And >he

asks: If 'someone' had helped the Olmecs with this knowledge, from >whom did

they get it? > >My readers, of course, know the answers. > >Has the Cover-up

Ended? > > The outstanding museum on the Olmec civilization in Jalapa, in the

>Veracruz province of Mexico, included when it was built a wall panel >showing

the extent and dates of Mexico's various cultures. On my first >visit there, I

could hardly believe my eyes: The first (earliest) >civilization, that of the

Olmecs, was shown as begun circa 3000 B.C.! > > I urged the members of my group

to take pictures of me pointing to the >date: Finally, the date claimed by me

has been officially accepted! > > On a second visit, however (to which the

previous article, The Case of >the Missing Elephant relates), not only the

telltale elephant-toy >disappeared; the Olmec column starting at 3000 B.C. was

also gone... And >the official Museum Catalogue, reviewing the Olmec

civilization, >reverted to 1500 B.C. > > But now comes the astronaut Gordon

Cooper, and innocently and >inter-alia tells, as an eye-witness, what he was

told by the chief >Mexican archaeologist: 3000 B.C. > > And thus, when all is

said and done, I stand vindicated. > >Zecharia Sitchin November 2000 >
