2012 Prophecy Notes on Tortuguero Monument 6

2012 Prophecy Notes on Tortuguero Monument 6

The overall text is devoted to the historical narrative of the local king named B’ahlam Ajaw, and highlights his dedication of a shrine for a local patron god, Ahkal-K’uk’, in 669 CE. Presumably this shrine or temple was where the monument was found by looters in the 1960s. The closing section begins with a mention of an earlier building or construction of a shrine (pib’naah) — maybe the very same one — during Early Classic times in 510 CE. The final enigmatic passage then links the later 669 year dedication with the upcoming end of the 13th Bak’tun, that is at the end of Year 2012 (13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahaw 3 K’ankin).

Sven Gronemeyer, University of Bonn (Germany), traced the drawing of the closing section. Dr. David Stuart, University of Texas at Austin, made a preliminary and full reading with translation:

…uhtiiy waxak Chuwen b’olon(te’) Mak
hekwaniiy K’anjalnaah
Upib’naah Ahkal K’uk’.
Cha’ b’olon winikij ux ha’b’ waxak winikha’b'(?) ux pik
tzuhtz-(a)j-oom u (w)uxlajuun pik
(ta) chan Ajaw ux(te’) Uniiw
uhtoom ..?..
ye..?.. B’olon Yookte’ ta ..?..

…(long ago) it happened, the day Eight Chuwen, the ninth of Mak
when the Becoming-Ripe-House was constructed(?).
It was the ‘underground house’ (shrine) of (the god) Ahkal K’uk’.
It was two and nine-score days, three years, eight-score years and 3 x 400 years
(before) the Thirteenth Bak’tun will end
on Four Ajaw, the third of Uniiw,
when ..?.. it will occur,
the descent..?.. of B’olon Yookte’ at ..?..

Below, the reader will find our proposed match reading of the right-side section with the corresponding glyphs, after Stuart and Gronemeyer. In our revision, Lord Pakal Ahau included the syllable Ek (meaning dark or black) in the reading of the fourth row glyphs. (T89 glyph, FAMSI Dictionary of Mayan Hieroglyphs) to extend the translation and explain what will happen at the end of 2012: there will be darkness or a dark event presumably effecting Earth and transforming the whole humankind.

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR: Although the credit for the new and revised version of the Tortuguero Monument 6 is attributed to the Pakalian Group in other forums as posted by our friend Geoff Stray, the extended deciphering credit and compilation review goes to our Lord Pakal Ahau, our Maya Director. Thanks, Lord Pakal!
