Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Museum of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, Vol. 4: Science Bulletin In the paper that follows I plan to cover as briefly as possible; first, the primary evidences for correlation; second, the lunar statements on the ancient monuments and in the Dresden Codex which have been the main ground of contention; third, all additional records astronomical and other wise which bear in any important way upon the main problem.

The time-machine pieced to gether by modern science from the relics of the Maya civilization is an intellectual construction with wheels turning upon wheels, so to speak. The unit time cog engaging all wheels is the day.
