8. KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT.
The knowledge developed by the six Mother civilizations, from approximately 10 thousand years ago, has been the foundation of all human knowledge. The man on the Moon and computers, are only its continuity and its fruit. The ancient grandparents, without assistance from any people and from the methodical and systematic observation of the nature and the sky vault, managed to "weave" an incomparable knowledge network, that through centuries and from generation to generation, conformed the Cultural heritage of our civilization.
"Astronomy was well known among Mesoamerican peoples, especially the Toltec. <The Toltec were wise men, their works were all good, all rightful, all well planned, all wonderful... they knew their influence, they knew well how the sky works, how it turns... Natural phenomena observation, which invariable repeated, among which especially were the numbers 4, 7 and 13. Thus, from their combination a large number of cycles were obtained." (Maria Elena Romero Murguía. 1988)[1]
The ancient grandparents had two knowledge strands, one was male the other female. One was accurate, cold and distant: celestial mechanics. The other was kind, generous and capricious: nature. From the sky observation, from nature and the essence of human beings, the ancient grandparents built all their knowledge.
"If we take four cycles of 13, we obtain 52; seven periods of 52 days makes a total of 364... In relation to 13, there are 13 moon periods in a year. If we take rounded figures of 28 days: 28 x 13 = 364. Thirteen are the Nahuatl cosmogony skies as described in the Latin Codex or Ríos Codex; 13 years make up a tlalpilli and by multiplying 7 times 13, yields 91 <number of elements in a Nepoualtzizin>, which
