About This Book
A comparative investigation traces religious, sociological, and calendrical principles across ancient American cultures and their parallels in Eurasia, arguing that native cross and swastika motifs stem from circumpolar astronomy and pole-star worship and often accompany septenary numerical schemes and celestial-state ideals. The study assembles archaeological, linguistic, and iconographic evidence from Mexican, Maya, Zuni, Central and South American sources and compares these with material from China, Western Asia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and Europe, and includes appendices, word lists, and illustrations while urging further specialist examination rather than asserting a final theory.
