Egyptian Dendera Zodiac and Religion in Columbia, South America: A Case for the Religious Diffusion of Culture

The book discusses D. Clarke Theories on South America and Columbia specific rock art on walls in certain periods of time and compares them with historical time lines of both introduction of images of not just local but also of foreign influences by trade or exploration. Clarke compares the Old World symbol with the New World symbol and speculates that in astronomy based groups had compared notes and trade of ideas partly from a foreign trade influences. Clarke contends that the astronomy like Dendera Zodiac was significant enough influence as a system in regards to Origins of Celestial east and west as markers of also late megalthic based cultures and sea people to use the same system not just for navigation by sea but on land on certain days of moon and solar events that indicate agriculture periods to study of season divisions. He proves that diffusion is about the only model that can even describe why the specific changes into temple, stone rows, or henge like shapes that out of nowhere appear around 1,000 BC forwards in Columbia that does not show the same exact process that in parallel was occurring in Inca Cultures or lands at that same time. Clarke shows unbelievable exactness of time lines and comparisons that are unrivaled by any other researcher of tentative diffusion of a Phoenician or Egyptian of astronomy studies painted or carved like hieroglyph characters that augmented local cultures beliefs and images that were partly based also on similar astronomy motifs. The term Clarke uses is diffusion embellishments to trade with or altar some aspect of the culture traded with. This book will not only make you think this process was possible in ancient past of the America's but very likely a process gone overlooked by most anthropologists as even possible if not a subject avoided with no rational to avoid even for a career sake in academia restrictions of the subject. The Denderah Zodiac of Egypt in itself is a huge clue to the types of things made later like the Aztec Calendar in the America's that would never had concluded such an idea without the impact of Dendera Temple's own examples of that kind of science. One clue is the Scorpion King usage in Central America was borrowed directly from the same Scorpion King idea from the First Dynasties of Egypt which continued up to near the 6th Dynasty of Egypt as a symbol. In other parts of Africa however the Scorpion King analogy lasted longer than in Egypt usage of that title in parallel right into Egyptian Late Dynasties who long since did not use that King title or description. This is a eye opening book with a fair review that could have great ramifications of comparisons between the Old and New World exploration long before Columbus.
