It may be fairly claimed that the solar walk, pace Alexander Pope, was and is a paradigm in native North America. Integral to it are a pattern of days and years o f astronomical significance and the principle of the time-shift itself. With Chusco this leads further into the inner dimensions of the day, fore- and afternoon; in Mesoamerica it leads outwards towards a vast evolutionary story recorded at length in the "Popol Vuh " and counted by aeons, hundred of millions of years, in the hieroglyphic inscriptions.Downloads
