Hallan el Tzompantli más importante de Tenochtitlán. Es una estructura de tezontle y estuco de aproximadamente 45 centímetros de alto, 11 a 12 metros de ancho y alrededor de 34 metros de largo.

De acuerdo con el fundador del proyecto de investigación Templo Mayor, Eduardo Matos Moctezuma, arqueólogos del INAH descubrieron a dos metros de profundidad de la calle Guatelama 24, en San José Ixhuatepec, Tlalnepantla de Baz, el Tzompantli más importante del Centro Ceremonial de Tenochtitlán.

Cabe destacar que Tzompantli es un altar que construían algunas culturas precolombinas del antiguo México, el cual se encontraba decorado con cráneos tallados en piedra y estacas en la zona superior para clavar la cabeza de los sacrificados.

Durante una rueda de prensa organizada por el INAH, el también arqueólogo detalló que “Por su ubicación, sí se trata del Huey Tzompantli, gran Tzompantli, el principal, queda pendiente la localización de los otros, pero éste posiblemente sí se trata del mayor Tzompantli de Tenochtitlán.

En el Museo Nacional de Antropología, Raúl Barrera, al frente del Programa de Arqueología Urbana, que supervisa este proyecto, indicó que tras la primera etapa de excavación en ese predio que concluyó en el mes de junio, encontraron este vestigio azteca que no excede de los 35 cráneos, y del cual calculan que tenga 34 metros de largo por 12 de ancho.

“Todavía no sabemos el número de cráneos que conforman a este Tzompantli, habrá que excavar más, lo importante aquí es lo que describen las fuentes. Andrés de Tapia que era un soldado que vino con Hernán Cortés nos dejó una descripción amplia del Tzompantli, lo que él vio, incluso menciona que había cráneos unidos con cal, y nosotros ahora los estamos viendo. No sabemos todavía la forma porque está bajo el nivel de piso, pero lo encontrado concuerda con lo que él decía, en el sentido que están unidos de cal” finalizó Barrera.

Revelaron que próximamente iniciará la segunda etapa de trabajos de excavación y que la intención es que este vestigio pueda ser exhibido a través de una ventana arqueológica.

Ξέρεις κανένα καλό βιβλίο για τους προσωκρατικους πέραν αυτά του Νίτσε?

αν εννοείς ανάλυσης γνωρίζω μόνο το “Οι προσωκρατικοί” -Θεόφιλου Βέικου, αλλά δεν το έχω διαβάσει ολόκληρο, βασικά μέχρι τον Ελεατισμό και Πυθαγορισμό, τα λέει πολύ καλά, δεν σε κουράζει δηλαδή και μπαίνεις εύκολα στο νόημα, και ένα ακόμη από τις εκδόσεις ΜΙΕΤ "Οι προσωκρατικοί φιλόσοφοι” που δεν το χω ανοίξει καθόλου

How to feel again

Walk barefoot in the grass, remember the way this feels. Now put your shoes back on, you do not want the thing to touch your toes.

Go outside in the dark, scream at the moon. She is listening, it is okay.

Allow her to comfort you, she means well.

If you hear other people screaming, do not fret, they are just as apathetic as you, let them feel.

If an elderly woman comes and stands near you, thank her. Listen to what she has to say, she knows best.

If you see an animal that does not belong, leave. Go home, and sit in a room in the dark. If you don’t, go home and have a good night’s sleep

Do not fall asleep.

If you hear whispers, it is okay.

Remember rule number 7 and 10. Leave at sunrise. Lock the door behind you. Feel.

Much of the western United States began the morning with the view of a super blue blood moon total lunar eclipse. In this silent time lapse video, the complete eclipse is seen over NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, located at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains near Pasadena, California.  This Jan. 31 full moon was special for three reasons: it was the third in a series of “supermoons,” when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit – known as perigee – and about 14 percent brighter than usual. It was also the second full moon of the month, commonly known as a “blue moon.” The super blue moon will pass through Earth’s shadow to give viewers in the right location a total lunar eclipse. While the Moon is in the Earth’s shadow it will take on a reddish tint, known as a “blood moon.”

The Necromanteion or Nekromanteion was an ancient Greek temple of necromancy devoted to Hades and Persephone. According to tradition, it was located on the banks of the Acheron river in Epirus, near the ancient city of Ephyra.

The ancient Greeks believed that the souls of the dead entered the underworld though subterranean fissures, and that in special cases like this, arrangements could be made to communicate with the dead. This was used as an opportunity to commune with lost loved ones, and also to seek out the future telling skills of the dead.

Visitors wishing to communicate with the dead would have entered the dark chamber and followed specific rituals outlined for the protection from and communication with the dead which would have taken several days. When ready, a priest would usher them deeper inside for a ritual animal sacrifice, and through three gates symbolic of Hades.

Pilgrims expected to see the images of the dead as shadows against the flickering lantern light. These visions may have been enhanced by the special diet recommended in the days before entering the sanctuary, which some have described as including hallucinogens. Interestingly, inside the underground chambers, archaeologists have found mechanical contrivances which may have been used to enhance the appearance of animated dead. After a session with the dead, pilgrims were forbidden to talk about what they learned for fear of Hades claiming their own lives in exchange.

More recently a Greek-American study of towers in the area suggested that the ruins may have been the base of an agricultural tower, and the underground chambers storage areas for water or grain, rather than mystical communication with fortune-telling dead.

At least for now, the place remains officially identified as the Necromanteion, and has been preserved as such.
