The Mandala: Mapping the Cosmos and the Soul
Human cultures are replete with ways to depict or represent some aspect of the universe. Calendars, ordinary maps, star charts, and other diagrams are all examples of ways to make sense of or map part of reality. The calendar is a way to understand time just as the map is a way to understand geography. Even ancient temples were designed to be a model to make sense of the cosmos. One type of map or diagram is the mandala - which could be thought of as a map of reality itself.

Sumerians Invented the System of Time 5,000 Years Ago – And We Still Use It Today!
One might find it curious that we divide the hours into 60 minutes and the days into 24 hours – why not a multiple of 10 or 12? Put quite simply, the answer is because the inventors of time did not operate on a decimal (base-10) or duodecimal (base-12) system but a sexagesimal (base-60) system. For the ancient Sumerian innovators who first divided the movements of the heavens into countable intervals, 60 was the perfect number.

On The Edge Of A Blade: Grasping Aztec Violence and Human Sacrifice
The ancient history of the Aztec civilization is one of the most fascinating historical subjects, and for numerous reasons. Still largely shrouded in mystery, this colorful, complex culture was one of the crucial stages of all Mesoamerican civilizations and continues to be a well of new knowledge.
