The ancestors of the Maya, the Olmecs were skilled astronomers. Their
origin is most probably in the North-Africa or West-Asia. The two
different horned viper species (Cerastes c. gasparetti and Cerastes c.
cerastes) can only be found in extremely hot desserts. It seems
reasonable to assume that the horned snakes and the Jaguar relate to a
special date back in history: perhaps the double crossing of two Venus
loops that once occurred in the zodiac sign of Leo (Jaguar).
Most likely
this event was observed from one of the ancient Olmec centers in Vera Cruz
(Venus + cross?). This event might be related to the start of the
famous Maya calendar that starts on 13 august of the year 3114 B.C.
In the image below one can find the star constellation of Leo
(Jaguar/Balaam) rising above the horizon. The (rising) horned viper
(symbol for Venus and for death) has been depicted in the sign of star
constellation Aries.

Early Christians believed Jesus was born under the Star because the
prophecy of Balaam
(Num. 24:17) said the Messiah would be revealed by a regal Star
which might be Regulus in Leo. Did Mayans in astronomical way predicted
the birth and death of Jesus Christ?
I will show you that the double Venus crossing that occurred above
Bethlehem is referring to the birth, life, and death of Jesus Christ from
1 AD on.
Ancient Phoenicians
The key to ancient civilizations is Phoenicia (or Canaan).
The recorded history of the Canaanites shows a group of coastal cities
and forested mountains inhabited by the Canaanites, around 4000 BC. These
early inhabitants referred to themselves according to their city of
origin, and called their nation Canaan. They lived in the narrow
East-Mediterranean cost and the parallel strip mountains of Lebanon.
Around 2800 BC Canaanites traded Lebanese cedar and timber, olive oil and wine
from Byblos for, as it is believed, metals and ivory from Egypt. Although
not commonly accepted it might turn out that the Phoenicians ('phoinos' is
a Greek word, meaning ‘red’) ruled the waves far more earlier than
2000 BC.
The most suitable starting point to begin unraveling the tangled skein
of History for the lost threads of Origin of the Britons, Scots and
Anglo-Saxons is from the fresh clues gained on the solid ground of the
newly deciphered Phoenician inscriptions in Britain.
Lawrence A. Waddell, using his new-found keys to the Lost History of the
Aryan Race and their authorship of the World's Higher Civilization,
concludes that the Early Britons and Scots and Anglo-Saxons have been a
leading branch of the foremost world-pioneers of Civilization, the
Aryan-Phoenicians: Phoenician Origin of Britons, Scots and Anglo-Saxons.

The Phoenician god Bel can be regarded as the planet
Venus. They seem to have watched the rising and setting of Venus at
sunrise and sunset very close. The snake like curves of Venus is the
symbol of the snake (Naga). In origin it is a horned viper (horned
rattlesnake) found in East-Sahara and West-Asia. This is important because
it is a deadly snake (the horned Viper) also found in the Maya
architecture. The Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, tells us the
Maya culture was brought by men from the East (Phoenicians!). The horned
viper is only native to Egypt and West-Asia and can not be found in the
Americas.

The Phoenicians visited Ireland and England for the metal
'tin'. They probably visited Peru for gold and Argentina for silver. I think Phoenicians, who were skilled astronomers,
made the Nasca lines and the Zodiac and studied the 5 different curves
of Venus in the morning sky (Fig. 3 - Fig. 7). Phoenicians
invented their alphabet as early as 1500 B.C. and introduced it to the world. The
Greeks adopted the 22-letter alphabet from the Phoenicians which has led
to the Latin letters of present day.
