About

Welcome to Ancestral Astronomy,

The purpose of this Project is to illustrate the Practices and Astronomical System of Ancestral Cultures, based on the results of a study I have conducted over the last 20 years on the Haab and Tzolkin Calendars, which were the main tools of this research.

This study has generated an immense amount of information and astronomical knowledge, which I continue to process and investigate. Through this Ancestral Astronomy Project—bringing together my writing, drawings, paintings, and video reflections—I share the knowledge and insights that ancient cultures have taught me with anyone captivated by the astronomy of Earth’s space-time.

Because the Arithmetical System and the Astronomical Perspective practiced by Ancestral Cultures are completely different from today's system, Ancestral Astronomy is an Astronomy that needs to be relearned. It is surprising and absolutely rigorous from a Arithmetical  and Astronomical point of view, with much to reveal about the Universe, the Earth, and Ancestral Cultures.

You can find some of my Drawings and Paintings in the Ancestral Astronomy Gallery, works that accompanied me throughout my journey to assist in this investigation of the Calendars.

Two Blogs are also part of this project, where I publish content on this Ancestral Astronomy theme:

The Ancestral Astronomy Blog, where I publish the more conceptual and theoretical content of this Project.

And the Manual of Ancestral Astronomy Blog, which is dedicated to publications for those who want to get to know the Ancestral Astronomy system from a more practical and educational point of view.

You can also access the Ancestral Astronomy YouTube channel through the Website or directly on YouTube, where I publish recordings of the blog posts, as well as other more Creative content, illustrated with my Drawings and Paintings, photographs, images, texts, and thoughts, all related to this theme.

Here is my invitation for you to explore this project and its content, where you can experience how two astronomies can exist for a single sky!

One of which understands and follows the language of the Universe.

I hope you enjoy it,
and thank you for being here.

Joana
