To speak of the Earth from the perspective of Ancestral Astronomy is to trace, upon the map of our cosmic journey, the shortest path between humanity and the universe.


This knowledge finally allows us to confirm that the patterns discovered by astronomy are the very same manifested in the creation and shape of life across our planet. It is upon planet Earth that we travel together on this cosmic journey, where nature provides and offers us all the necessary resources for our lives to be possible and self-sufficient during our journey here upon the Earth's surface.

The periods and cycles of time and space, considered and measured within the Earth's fabric by ancestral astronomers, are remarkable and surprising. They feature numbers, magnitudes, and values described in a whole and rational way, deeply known to us all. These elements have always been used at the foundation of our cultural and scientific knowledge, as well as in spiritual and religious practices, yet without being connected to the field of astronomy.

Today, we can also observe across almost all cultures various spiritual or religious teachings and practices, as well as allusions in the form of numbers or fables, that connect us to concepts analogous to ancestral astronomical knowledge.

The understanding that calendars were, after all, pure astronomy, and not simply the result of customs and cultural choices made by different societies, was a crucial moment for this study. It was at this point that all subjective elements involving cultural or individual interpretation were set aside. This process meant that only elements of a mathematical and astronomical nature were researched and considered—a step that, however, was not final.

After a few years of studying ancestral astronomical and mathematical cycles exclusively, and upon outlining and understanding their astronomical core, it became important to reintegrate the religious and cultural elements linked to calendars back into this research. The religious ephemerides and other important dates noted in calendars also serve to validate and confirm various astronomical factors and events in the study of ancient astronomy.

This method of study made it possible to observe the way astronomy and the religious themes present in calendars intersect and coincide. This affinity may serve as further confirmation that science and spirituality originally walked hand in hand in the history of humanity.

This is a journey that Ancestral Astronomy describes through measurements and parameters that shape a web in spacetime, traced by the Earth and the Moon in space. It is a structure formed by a network of small and large patterns that are always proportional and harmonious, capable of being described rationally in every dimension. It is a body of knowledge, a way of explaining the universe that is organic, rational, and remarkably lucid.

The practices and methods of Ancestral Astronomy provide a comprehensive understanding of planetary orbits and cycles within Earth's spacetime, taking into account the obliquity of their orbital planes. This astronomical system allows us to follow, step by step, the celestial journey and the precise graphical pattern in which it unfolds.

Based on the framework of Earth’s cosmic voyage as revealed by Ancestral Astronomy, we can discern the precise graphical pattern traced by our planet within its own spacetime. Through Ancestral Astronomy, we can confirm that our planet's journey through space and the natural world upon its surface are both realities created and generated by the universe—which grants us life while, at the same time, subjecting us to its laws and forms.

The orbital cycles of planet Earth and the Moon, across space and time, weave a fabric of patterns to be found within the study of calendars. It is within these astronomical and mathematical patterns, traced by our planet and the Moon in their orbits, that we can identify how the Earth—both in space and on its surface—is governed by the very laws and dynamics dictated by the universe.

It is extraordinary to find elements of Ancestral Astronomy at the very core of mathematics and arithmetic, as well as within the various conventions and scales of modern cultural knowledge. This represents an unexpected meeting point between two contrasting eras, revealing undeniable similarities. Our clocks and the structure of our calendars are clear examples of the correspondences that exist between modern culture and ancient astronomy.

In geometry, among many examples, we recognize the circle through the convention of 360 degrees or 1440 minutes, as well as the primary angles and geometric figures established as standard. These are patterns that connect us directly to the structure of the Earth's web within the observational system of Ancestral Astronomy.

Many models and prototypes of our modern culture coincide with the core knowledge of the cycles of time and space in Ancestral Astronomy. And it is worth noting that these common references between both modern and ancestral worlds always find an astronomical explanation to justify their use in ancient traditions, whereas in our modern culture, they are viewed merely as 'conventions'.

These correspondences can be found in various ancient manuals, sacred scriptures, mythology, and oracles. We can discover these similarities scattered in diverse ways across elements of a symbolic, archetypal, and mythological nature, within numerical values and orders, as well as in symbolic representations. There are many examples and allusions that can guide us back to the insights of Ancestral Astronomy.

This research into calendars was marked by several unexpected findings, which led to important turning points in the objectives of this work. The first surprise was realizing that calendars were precious research tools for astronomy, the fruit of a highly developed and rigorous knowledge possessed by ancient societies.

Another important lesson from this research, which also represented a significant turning point in the direction of this project, was realizing that Ancestral Astronomy was, in its essence, a body of knowledge based on and confined to Earth's spacetime. Within it, it is possible to describe in an unprecedented way and with full detail the step-by-step journey of our planet and the Moon across the universe.

It was through this sequence of coincidences that this Ancestral Astronomy project exceeded all expectations. What could have been just a study on astronomy transformed into a true decipherer of 'mysteries and enigmas', with potential implications and explanations for many historical events that trace back to the origins of our modern culture and its teachings.

With an understanding of ancestral astronomical methods and knowledge, and contrary to what one might expect, we do not find cultural ignorance or naivety; quite the opposite, we find a rigorous scientific knowledge, unprecedented in our own culture, where the Earth and its spacetime are the central focus.

Ancestral Astronomy allows us to describe the structure of the Earth's web and its spacetime, proving to be the right place for us to understand humanity's connection to the universe and our journey upon our planet. Here, reality and nature seem to manifest as an antenna that captures the stimuli and expansion patterns of the universe, reproducing them physically and psychically across all dimensions and forms of natural life on Earth.

The teachings of Ancestral Astronomy regarding the Earth's web hold many secrets and revelations, describing to us a universe that expands and manifests in an orderly and rational way. This expansion obeys laws and dynamics that determine the form of natural life on Earth and our path through the universe.

This is a wisdom that may be missing from science and from the cultural and spiritual life of humanity, making our existence unaligned and distant from the universe. Knowing the spacetime web of the Earth, its order, and its expansion is a great step toward the universe. It offers a scientific and rational possibility to expand consciousness and wisdom regarding the true meaning of our lives and our planet.

It is a form of knowledge that will allow us to reclaim the value and respect we owe to our planet Earth in our reality, and in the building of a better, more balanced, and more conscious world.
