Mesoamerica

Mesoamerican afterlife cosmology reveals a world where time itself is sacred — not linear, but cyclical — a living serpent that coils through creation, death, and rebirth. The Maya and Mexica built temples aligned with the heavens, recording cosmic rhythm in the Tzolk’in and Haab calendars, and carved eternity into stone.

To die was not to end, but to move in rhythm with the gods. Each soul followed its own calendrical destiny — through Xibalba or Mictlán, guided by sacred dogs and the breath of jade. Their architecture, mathematics, and myth were not separate — they were one sacred science: the architecture of time itself.

In this three-part journey, we explore how the ancients mapped the calendar of souls, encoded the serpent of light into the pyramid, and remembered that to align with time is to align with eternity.
