The images to the right and left are warrior’s, wearing eagle feathers and carrying ceremonial scepters escorting the “event” messenger descending from Sun. The sun symbol is similar to the Hopi sun symbol, “Taawa”. The horizontal image at the top reflects the sky and the sun, with the vertical feathers representing the rays of the sun. Surely an awe inspiring and potentially terrifying long term event observable over the entire Earth, long thought by astronomers to have occurred in prehistoric time. A brilliant display, potentially as brilliant as the sun at Earth’s polar axes an Aurora Borealis-Australis (Northern and Southern Lights), but 100 times more intense as those seen at the Arctic and Antarctica today. Artistically the shield sheds light in an area of relatively unknown prehistory.Īl believes the shield glyphs represent a time when there was a highly visiable celestial event observed by all mankind in antiquity. Many of the Pottery Mound mural images also have designs like those found on pottery at the Hopi village of Sikyatki where Al’s Coyote clan ancestors resided. Shield images are found painted in kiva murals at Pottery Mound, a site located just west of Albuquerque. The Hopi language is a Northern dialect of “Uto-Aztecan”. The Mixtec are ancient cultural relatives of the Hopi who speak a southern dialect of “Uto-Aztecan”. Shields, using inlaid polished turquoise from Cerrillos, New Mexico, have been found as far away as Central America.
Heaven of the Suns – Cosmological Discovery
The color patterns in the characters were also determined after Al’s extensive historical research. The “pointed” tongue represents a constant struggle with the “Sun” which had taken over the night. The seven circles on the head dress are the seven signs of the constellation of Pleiades. The bottom glyph or image is known as the Turquoise God, Xiuhtecutli and also represents a sacred mountain known as the twisted mountain of Colhuacan. The images to the right and left are warriors, wearing eagle feathers and carrying ceremonial scepters, escorting the “event” messenger descending from the sun. The horizontal image at the top reflects the sky and the sun with vertical feathers representing the rays of the sun. A brilliant display, potentially as brilliant as the sun, like the northern lights, but 100 times more intense. The shield design represents a time when there was a highly significant celestial “event”. The 14,000 pieces of turquoise used is referred to by the Aztecs as Teoxihuitl, or “Turquoise of the Gods.” Artistically, the shield sheds light in an area of relatively unknown pre-history.Īl calls this strikingly beautiful piece “Heaven of the Suns”. An article on this Shield appears on page 53 of the summer 2007 issue of the NMAI Indian Magazine. The “Heaven of the Suns” ceramic shield was inspired by a prehistoric Mixtec shield (called a ‘Chimalli’) Al found and studied in the vaults of the National Museum of the American Indian. A classic tecpatl face is visible in the tongue of the central deity in the famous Aztec Sunstone.Mixtec Shield, wood base, IEEE Research papers Tecpatl blades often bore faces, the teeth and eyes accentuated by inlaid white flint and obsidian (a volcanic glass). Tecpatl was also one of the four important year-bearer calendar signs. 'With the knife, priests cut open the chests of sacrificial victims to extract the heart that would feed the gods, hoping that such a gift would bring blessings to humankind'. Its teeth and eyes were accented with inlaid white flint and obsidian, a volcanic rock.The tecpatl flint (Aztec sacrificial knife) was an important feature of Aztec rituals. A knife found in the Templo Mayor of Tenochtitlan, shows a profile of a face that presumably represents the carrier of the tecpatl year(a minor deity). Edges are very sharp! Made with volcanic obsidian, natural red jasper (jicorita), and mother of pearl.It is a reproduction made after the Aztec artifacts found. This tecpatl is made from authentic obsidian of Teotihuican, Mexico by local artesian, and is 11" long and 4 1/2" wide.Warning: Not a toy.
