Are ancient calendars simply relics of the past, or are they sophisticated scientific manuals that rival our modern understanding of time? In this episode, we explore the "Ancestral Astronomy" project by Joana Burnay, which proposes that Maya and Aztec civilizations possessed a mastery of Celestial Mechanics far deeper than previously thought.

Beyond simple dates, we uncover the mathematics behind the Haab and Tzolkin calendars. You will learn why the ancient 20-day cycle is not arbitrary but a precise geometric mapping of Earth’s "Translation Spiral"—a logic lost in our irregular Gregorian months.

We also challenge standard astronomy by distinguishing the visual Cycle of Lunations (phases) from the physical Cycle of Tides. The episode explains how the ancients used the tides to track the Moon’s true 28-day orbit and how Eclipses served as markers for Earth’s "undulating" path through the Galaxy, uniting scientific rigor with a connection to the Divine.

Join us to decode the sky as the ancients did.
