“If the object identified as a barred-spiral galaxy in drawing #37 really is a barred-spiral galaxy, it would seem to imply that either the ancients had high-powered telescopes or that advanced beings visited earth! I personally feel that such is not very likely, due to the lack of appropiate artifacts. Yet suppose a worldwide civilization existed in the past, which was fragmented by planets in collision in historical times?

Then the object might well be the two-horned, comet-planet Venus. Since the Mayans held that their savior-creator god Quetzacoati had turned into Venus after ascending from a three day stay in Hades, it would not be inconceivable that he might be deemed to, in fact, constitute the fundamental building blocks of the universe.” - from the postscript
