Yaxchilan

This time we have minutely examined the ancient site Yaxchilan by using our method. For example, if an ancient monument is oriented to one of the ancient poles, we can express this “hit” in a certain probability and therefore also the probability of the claimed age.

When a site with multiple monuments is reoriented after each crustal deformation, we can track this back with a correlation factor. This means that newer buildings are oriented in a slightly different angle, to the newer pole position. The higher the correlation factor, the higher the probability that the site indeed follows the already proven pole positions. By using this method we can prove almost 100% the true age of such ancient sites

If there is no relation between the orientation of ancient monuments and the position of ancient poles, then there is no significant relation to find between orientations and pole positions. But if there is a much higher correlation than average we can calculate the probability that there is indeed a deep correlation between the two seemingly unrelated phenomena. Practically speaking – this means that the site has been reoriented after each crustal deformation cycle.

This time we will be looking at the Yaxchilan in Mexico. Yaxchilan is a large site in Mexico, close to the border of Guatemala. The orientation pattern of this site seems chaotic and this seemingly chaotic orientation pattern has always been a mystery for archaeologists. In our database Yaxchilan is mentioned 7 times, while the site consists of almost 60 monuments. Yaxchilan appears to correlate with the migrating pole with an incredible likelihood. 

Very Ancient Foundations

Fig. 1: Yaxchilan is incredibly ancient. Many people do not realize that ancient stone monuments are very patient, like massive boulders along hiking trails, they can last for millions of years. The typical style that you see here are renovations on top of older foundations. Archaeologists believe they can date ancient structures with high precision while in fact they can’t. Archaeology has missed a great opportunity, and of course they say that we are wrong. The real age of these ancient structures is about 100 to 150 times older than archaeology claims. Our method is currently the most reliable method to classify the original age of ancient cities and monuments. Our method is probabilistic, where we express the likelihood that we are right.
 

One of the Many Monuments on Yaxchilan

Fig. 2: This is just one of the many monuments on Yaxchilan. We suspect it was some sort of measuring device to measure the seasons. After every crustal deformation such devices became obsolete. Buildings were sometimes broken down and used as materials in new buildings and sometimes they were abandoned or used for other purposes.

Map of Yaxchilan

Fig. 3: Yaxchilan is mainly clockwise oriented. We have measured the orientations of the monuments on Yaxchilan and compared them with the positions of Pole I to V. The correlation factor is incredibly high: 99.99882%. Practically speaking, this means that the site follows the crustal deformation process over a period of 345,000 years, from Pole V to Pole I.

Strong Correlation With Very Ancient Poles

The asterisk denotes that Pole VI is still unproven. We cannot claim that these monuments are pointing to an ancient Pole VI, because we still don’t know for sure where this pole was located. So, this monument is pointing to “nowhere” for now, thus keeping our probability calculations “honest” by suppressing the probability. We suspect that the orientations -38 and -39 in the list above are pointing to Pole VI. This position indeed comes close to the position that is suggested by the ice age graphs between 410,000 and 440,000 years ago.

The orientation pattern of Yaxchilan is overwhelmingly clockwise, a phenomenon that cannot be contributed to chance simply because the odds are too small. We have seen this at Chichen Itza, at Bonampak, and now at Yaxchilan. This is no coincidence. The sites are too far away from each other to be influenced by local geography, or by each other. Their reorientation pattern was influenced by a transcending astronomical phenomenon, a migrating geographic pole. The ancient monuments follow a periodically migrating geographic pole.

Why Some Monuments Are Oriented Between Poles

There are some monuments on Yaxchilan that are oriented between fixed pole positions. What is our answer to that? The migration of the pole proceeds so slowly that there is plenty of time, centuries or maybe even millennia, to built a monument that was pointing to a pole that was not yet stabilized.

During periods of crustal unrest, the geo pole moves between 8 and 14 m/year. Seen from the perspective of Yaxchilan, that would be an average orientational movement of (their ancient) True North of around 0.1° per millennium. That is slow but in the long term it is incredibly disruptive. If this would be happening today, with humanity’s fancy tools and satellites, there would be a lot of confusion (and theories).

Besides a slowly migrating pole, the crustal deformation process causes also massive unrest in the crust, causing tsunamis, megaquakes, and supervolcanoes like the Toba event. Natural disasters, crop failures, and climate changes cause migrations of people to other regions. Migrations cause war between tribes. Try to imagine how this looked like over a period of tens of thousands of years… Current humanity would be slowly warped back into a new stone age. 

Archaeology has Become Dogmatic 

The current scientific community has convinced itself to believe that Homo sapiens has built monuments only for some 10,000 years. This period is somewhat less than the period of stabilization of Pole I. Humanity can only thrive when the earth is in a stable mode. How long do we still have? We are still working on a prediction…

Homo sapiens has been walking around on this planet for more than 300,000 years. And then suddenly they built everything during 3% of their existence? We have proven with our method that humanity was very active during their entire existence on this planet. We are certain that they encountered multiple cataclysms which led to an almost eradication of our species.

A stable crust creates an environment in which civilizations can develop very slowly, but an unstable crust also disrupts civilizations very slowly, almost unnoticeably. The processes are so subtle that neither archaeology nor geology have found any of the clues that we have found. The best traces are ancient monuments. They work like compasses, not only a handful, but hundreds of them – all around the world.

Powerful Mathematical Method

Mathematically speaking, there is as much a chance for a monument to be counterclockwise oriented as there is a chance for it to be clockwise oriented. But that is obviously not the case. Yaxchilan is overwhelmingly clockwise oriented, hence, it is pointing to pole locations that are no longer in existence.

Additionally, it appears that the seemingly chaotic orientation pattern follows our discovered pole locations, not all, but the majority is, and that is a major jackpot. We found the same reorientation pattern already at Chichen Itza and at Bonampak, also in Mexico. The chances for the orientation patterns of Yaxchilan to follow coincidentally the pole locations are very small: 1 to 85,000. 

We are 99.6% certain that the site of Yaxchilan has been inhabited over a period of more than 350,000 years. There were periods of prosperity and periods of adversity. Yaxchilan has been reoriented in stages up to Pole I. We think that Yaxchilan was founded during Pole VI, and started to thrive during the period of Pole V, between 330,000 and 345,000 years ago. This suggestion is based on the amount of monuments that are oriented to Pole V. The negatively oriented monuments are probably much older than the Pole V monuments. But we cannot prove this with our method. Unambiguous mathematics also has its limitations. 

Global View on the Situation

Fig. 3: The domain of freedom to orient a monument is 90°. This is indicated with the extreme red lines both left and right, from the perspective of Yaxchilan. What we see is that almost 45% of the monuments of Yaxchilan narrowed down to an area of only 18°, which is 20% of the full domain of freedom. That is not the product of coincidence. Yaxchilan follows the migrating geographic pole with an extremely high certainty. You also see that from the perspective of Yaxchilan Pole II is a bit hidden behind Pole III. As seen from Yaxchilan there is some overlap between the two poles. However, because these two poles are defined by a vast array of globally spread ancient monuments we must distinguish them as two different positions. And that also counts for Yaxchilan.

 

[1]: In our method we have proven that a square or rectangular building can be only uniquely oriented 45° clockwise and 45° counterclockwise. From the perspective of Yaxchilan there is a 18.0% chance for one monument to “hit” one of the five poles by coincidence if the builders just oriented a monument haphazardly or to conform to local geography. That would mean that coincidentally only between 11 and 12 of the 58 monuments on Yaxchilan would correlate with the Poles I to V. Yet, we have found 26 monuments that correlate with the 5 poles. 

 [2]: The distances between the location of Pole I, II, III, IV, and V and the location of Yaxchilan results in another solstice angle from what we have today. That means, according to our method, that the solstice angles should be checked with key dimensions of a structure. The solstice angle is calculated from the ancient latitude with the formula: asin(sin(tilt spin axis)÷cos(latitude)) = asin(sin(23.5)÷cos(41.0)) = 31.9° (23.5 is the average tilt angle of the spin axis of the earth, and 41.0 is the ancient latitude of Yaxchilan for Pole V). 

[3]: Where does the number 99.6% come from? This is the most conservative probability for the pole sequence I to V to match the ice core data. We have presented higher numbers than this, but because this is the most careful number, we decided to use this probability. We have calculated the ages of the poles by using ice core data from Antarctica. 

[4]: The domain of Pole orientations as seen from the perspective of Yaxchilan: Pole I + Pole II + Pole III + Pole IV + Pole V = 18.0°. The total domain of orientation: 90°. We use the binomial formula to calculate the probability that two different patterns coincidentally fit onto each other: 1÷(58!÷(58−26)!÷26!×(18÷90)²⁶×(72÷90)³²) = 1 to 84,910 => 0.001178% coincidence. 58 are the total amount of measured monuments on Yaxchilan, 26 is the amount of monuments that is pointing to one of the poles, 18 is the domain of the poles, 72 is the domain in between the poles, and 90 is the total domain of oriental freedom of any structure.
