One day during the Great Oil Disaster of 2010 it struck me that the pyramid on the back of a US dollar bill could have been a Mayan/Aztec pyramid. I then decided to play around with various images and came up with something that is rather unique.

For best results, change to 1080p, press play, pause when ever a point on the pyramid aligns with a point on the Tonalpohualli, the sacred Aztec calendar . You will see faded 'Youtube' Annotations focus boxes if you move your cursor across the video, hover mouse over annotation boxes for my explanation. Some cloud boxes will appear from time to time.

Left side of dollar first.
What happens in this animation; the Aztec calendar rises behind pyramid. The calendar could represent a few things. The first thing that came to my mind was a UFO , SOL (our sun) , 3rd Lunar (our moon) or a new masonic symbol. When I adjusted the transparent slider, points from the Tonalpohualli started to appear next to the pyramid. Since the Tonalpohualli is a calendar, I doubt its UFO, its likely to represent the sun and/or moon. You will notice when the calendar moves up the vertical axis the calendar and the pyramid becomes a very complex work of art. As the calendar is moved at various places, the art of the dollar and the art of the calendar make a new story or perhaps completes a long lost ancient story. That is for you to decide.

The right side has similar fading effects but the art of the eagle and the calendar go well together at certain points.

The Aztec calendar is known as Tonalpohualli (wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonalpohualli) and the Mayan cousin is known as Tzolkin (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tzolkin)

Tools for putting this animation together. Photoshop CS2, Apple Macbook pro (now broken), Gimp, and Kdenlive (Linux opensource video editor)

Fun opinion about the date this video was uploaded:
according to azteccalendar DOT com

The significance of this day
Day Itzcuintli (Dog) is governed by Mictlantecuhtli, God of Death, as its provider of tonalli (Shadow Soul) life energy. Itzcuintli is the guide for the dead, the spirit world's link with the living. Itzcuintli is a good day for funerals and wakes and remembering the dead. It is a good day for being trustworthy, a bad day for trusting others of questionable intent.

The thirteen day period (trecena) that starts with day 1-Coatl (Snake) is ruled by Xiuhtecuhtli, Lord of the Year, the ancient god of fire who stands at the center. The 13 days of this trecena are governed by the forces that have created a power vacuum in the situation. The throne is empty and the rightful heir must struggle with all the pretenders who would claim it. These are 13 days of conflict, intrigues and unexpected developments. The throne will fall to the one who has laid the groundwork, built the alliances and is favored by the timing of events beyond any one person's control. This time will come again: those who are not prepared should bide their time; those who hold the throne should beware. These are good days to act out of strength, bad days to rely on the strength of others.

  • You may be on to something here, the 99yr lease of the Federal Reserve expires the same date the Mayan calender ends.
