"As is common with such ancient inscriptions they may be difficult to read partlybecause the glyphs are effaced (which is the case here) and partly because the meanings ofthe glyphs are not unambiguous. The critical part from our perspective is the deities (ordeity) called Bolon Yookte, who at the end date would “descend.” To understand how tointerpret this I think it is important to know two things about ancient Mayan deities. Thefirst is that they were not as personalized as for instance Roman or Nordic deities, who wereperceived to act more or less as individuals. A Mayan (or Aztec) deity instead typicallysymbolized a cosmic force associated with a time period and the mythologies of thesepeoples really describe fairly high level impersonal cosmic relationships. Hence, we knowhow the ancient day-signs were carried by daybearers, deities that were associated withparticular days. Time periods, gods and day-signs were thus more or less interchangeableand it depended on the context how they would be expressed. The second thing to know isthat these deities could easily split into several different deities and vice versa depending onwhether the context called for the whole or its parts to be expressed. This is almost certainlythe case with Bolon Yookte, which can be seen as a whole deity with nine parts or as nineparts constituting a whole. Bolon Yookte is at the same time a whole and its nine partsbecause Mayan cosmology is essentially holistic and looks upon everything in creation asconnected.John Major Jenkins in 2006 wrote an important and interesting article about the BolonYookte: Comments on the 2012 text on Tortuguero Monument 6 and Bolon Yookte Ku,http://edj.net/mc2012/bolon-yokte.html, where he summarizes epigraphic informationabout this deity called Bolon Yookte, which according to the abovementioned inscriptionwill descend at the Mayan end date. Among other things he cites an article by Gillespie andJoyce that states that Bolon Yookte was called “the God of the Nine Steps” and also that thiswas a deity that was present already at the beginning of creation as can be seen from thefamous Vase of the Seven Lords. He also cites Eberl and Prager, who said that the BolonYookte was associated with the underworld, wars and conflict. Really what this is telling usis that the structure of Nine Steps of evolution, Nine Underworlds, has existed from thevery beginning of creation, what we in modern terminology would call the Big Bang. TheTortuguero Monument 6, and Jenkins study of their meaning, thus provides a perfectverification of the theory I proposed fifteen years ago. The Bolon Yookte are the Nine levelsof evolution carried out by the nine underworlds. These nine Underworlds are thenobviously also associated with the Seven Lords of Creation (the seven DAYS) as can be seenfrom the famous Mayan vase. Moreover, as we know from history, all of these Underworldsare associated with conflicts and wars, since shifts in cosmic energies generate shiftingbalances of power and as a result, warfare. To me, the relationships between these Mayandeities provide a model of evolution that has been verified by massive empirical evidence.Because of this connection to reality this is crucial information for humanity at the presenttime and not mere mythical relationships.What this inscription means is that on the end date there is not just one cosmic powerthat will manifest, but Nine and that these were symbolized by a Nine-Step pyramid thatwas Bolon Yookte – The God of Nine Steps. It is also clear from Jenkins’ article that BolonYookte was associated with the World Tree, which especially my forthcoming book ‘The83
