THE DRESDEN CODEX


THE DRESDEN CODEX We learned the Dresden when we hear of Johann Christian Götze, Director of the Royal Library in Dresden, won the codex private owner in Vienna in 1739. In 1744, Götze gave it to the Royal Library, where he still resides. (The library's current name is Saxon Landesbibliothek). But not everything has been "very easy" for Dresden, during the bombing of World War II Dresden had severe water damage. Therefore, previous facsimiles World War are still very informative for study purposes. The following list includes some of the most interesting copies and facsimiles have been produced:Imagen del Códice Dresde.



1. In 1810, Alexander von Humboldt published "Vues des Cordillères". This work includes pages 47, 48, 50, 51, 52 of Dresden in a very beautiful color, but not entirely accurate. I've seen copies of this book for sale up to $ 93,000, and for as little as $ 25,000, so it's a bit expensive, and it really is a collector's item.

Two. In 1825 or 1826, one Italian, Agostino Aglio, made a tracing of the Dresden Codex for the Lord Kingsborough. It was in black and white, but was used in "Antiquities of Mexico" the Lord Kingsborough published in 9 volumes (the last two posthumously; Kingsborough died of typhus in the prison of debt. Accumulated debt in part by these publications). The Lord Kingsborough had the Dresden version prepared Aglio color for Volume III, in 1830 or 1831. Apparently it was colored by hand because not all pages with the same number of different copies are identical. (The pictures of Justin Kerr of Kingsborough are available below)

Three. In 1880, and again in 1892, Ernst published Förstemann Dresden in photochromolithographic editions, with perhaps only 60 copies produced in each issue (Gates, booklet with "The Dresden Codex", 1932). These have become extremely rare, and have never seen a copy of 1880 or 1892 for sale. Fortunately, the late Linda Schele tried to get your own copy, a gift from Floyd Lounsbury, become readily available. She not only provided a copy Förstemann FAMSI of Dresden, but also to the Press Cholsamaj in Guatemala. Cholsamaj published facsimile versions may still be available by contacting: cholsamaj@fundacioncholsamaj.org. The Förstemann copy is available below.
J. Eric Thompson relied heavily Förstemann the photos to make your version of Dresden (published in "A Commentary on the Dresden Codex", Philadelphia, 1972). Lips and Deckert also made their version of the Dresden Codex using Förstemann editions (1962, Berlin). Andreas Fuls has made available a CD (for $ 20 from April 2002) of the personal copy of Förstemann, now housed in the Ibero-American Institute in Berlin.
April. In 1959, Ian Graham visited Dresden and made slides of the Dresden Codex (personal communication: October 17, 1998). In this collection of slides, I have seen only one print: a very beautiful part of page 49 of the Dresden, in a book entitled "Vanished Civilizations of the World" (editor: Edward Bacon, Thames and Hudson, McGraw-Hill, 1963).
May. In 1932, William E. Gates released a facsimile version of Dresden. It looks great, is colorful and has its own type-font for all glyphs. I can not say that is the most accurate, but it is nice to see. He says he produced 75 copies (Gates, booklet "The Dresden Codex", 1932), but I've noticed some copies of this edition unnumbered may have been placed along with extra printed sheets that were later collected by students (personal communication March or April 1997 Jeremiah F. Epstein, who was a professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Texas, Austin).
June. In 1975, the Akademische Druck-u. Verlagsanstalt, Graz, Austria, printed a facsimile of the original color photos that was damaged during the Second World War, with commentary by Helmet Deckert and Ferdinand Anders. It is remarkably good, and the worst of the damaged pages have been reproduced again from Förstemann in a separate booklet that accompanies it. This along with a copy of Chiapas (in the book by Thomas A. Lee, Jr., "The Maya Codices", 1985) have been used as an important support for Mayanists from their publications.

Because the Dresden was in pieces in previous years, the Europeans subsequently assigned numbers to the pages, the codex subsequent studies later proved to be incorrect. The page numbers are kept pretty much the same, however, with the knowledge that the order of the pages within the codex was probably 1-24, 46-74 and 25-45.

Ten chilling and little known prophecies


When we know the future, the first name that comes to our mind is Nostradamus, but there are other important predictions, less widely. MDZ tells you the ten most amazing.
The curiosity to know the future is something that has accompanied human beings long. Every day, we live with the uncertainty of "what the future holds," so to know a little about it, we can feel safe and know whether our actions are right, and our life will improve over time.

In general, there is great fear about the future, especially when it comes to events that can not be easily controlled and prevented, such as natural disasters or even the date and how the world will end.

Throughout history, many people have claimed to have knowledge about what life show humanity, and spread their prophecies to warn people that listen.

Undoubtedly the most popular exponent, when it comes prophecies is Nostradamus, who is mentioned continuously when a major event happens in the world, but there are others who have claimed to see major events days, months and years ahead of our present.

With listverse.com information, and 2exodus.com De10.mx traditioninaction.org presents the top 10 prophecies you probably did not know.

The prophecies of Robert Nixon. They were spoken by a young man who worked as a farmhand in the county of Cheshire, England, in the fifteenth century. Because he rarely spoke, and usually babbled in doing so, many believed that he was suffering from some mental retardation. However, despite the beliefs of people, made a series of surprising and seemingly accurate predictions:

"The weary eagle shall retire on an island with sun, where leaves and herbs grow fresh and green.'ll Have to meet a beautiful lady". It is believed that this prophecy refers to Napoleon, when he was sent to St. Helena, in 1815, an island with a lot of rare plants.

The following prophecy is more about a phenomenon and social activity: "All classes have fireplaces in the mouth."

Other predictions that are attributed to Nixon are the voyages to the moon, travel by rockets, RVs, voice recording equipment and bulbs.

When called to the court of Richard III, refused to make prophecies, except that they were starving. The king ordered him to remain in the kitchen, but a cook, unaware, locked him in a closet, which is said finally died of starvation.

Prophecy of the Popes. It is attributed to Saint Malachy, refers to a list of 112 short phrases that seek to describe each of the Roman Catholic popes, along with some anti popes, beginning with Pope Celestine II and concluding with a pope described in the prophecy as "Peter the Roman", whose pontificate will end in the destruction of the city of Rome.

This data is striking because the current Pope Benedict XVI, who appears as the "Glory of the Olive", is the founder of the Benedictine monks, whose symbol is the olive branch, which puts the prophecy as the last Pope, before Peter the Roman.

There is also talk of recent times, which describes an apostasy in the church before the second coming of Christ, which makes many Catholics think that we are in the end times and that the next Pope will be the last before the final judgment:

"In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, Peter the Roman will literally sitting shepherd his flock amid many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the terrible judge judge his people. The end. "

Alois Irlmaier. In the 50s, this simple German man made predictions about a third world war.

"All she wants peace. Shalom! Then take place - a new Middle East war suddenly turns, big naval forces are facing hostility in the Mediterranean - the situation is tense. But the spark of fire Real caught fire in the Balkans. I see a 'big' that falls a bloody dagger lies beside him. Two men kill a third high ranking. They were paid by other people. One of the murderers is a small man, black and the other a little higher, with brightly colored hair. I think it will be in the Balkans, but I can not say exactly where. [...] Immediately the revenge comes through the large water. No however, the yellow dragon invades in Alaska and Canada at the same time. But now comes. And then it rains a yellow powder in a line. When the golden city is destroyed, it begins ... "

The most interesting of these predictions is the fact that he believes that the war will start in the Middle East, which can be considered very wise, according to recent military events in that region.



Baba Vanga. Born one day in 1911, the blind Bulgarian made many predictions. Its popularity came because supposedly possessed mystical powers, so that at death in 1996, large crowds attended his funeral. Among his many predictions, 4599, is the man who claims to achieve immortality in the year 4599, and that in less than a hundred years later, will relate to the aliens found in the hundreds of planets to be visited. Another prediction indicates that in the year 4509, we have evolved so much that we have direct contact with God.

Also predicted that by 2221, during the search for extraterrestrial life, the man come in contact with something terrible, but failed to define exactly what it was, and closer to our times, in 2023, the orbit of the Earth would undergo a major .

The real third secret. Cardinal Ratzinger, now known as Pope Benedict XVI on June 26, 2000 revealed the secret known as "The Third Secret of Fatima", which refers to a Pope who was killed and a city that was in ruins.

What many people do not know is that during the years in which the secret was hidden from the people, except a few, filtered by people who read the secret or talked with Sister Lucia, the visionary who wrote that does not correspond to information released by the Vatican secret.

This caused a large number of people believe that the Vatican document is an alteration of the original, which was motivated by fear of scandal that would produce the true secret.

Supposedly, the real secret refers to the apostasy in the Church from the Pope, namely the renunciation of faith on the part of the Popes. Also describe a board that perverts to the Church, which in some way was already known for at least forty years before the release of the version published by the Vatican.

Another prophecy related is that Pope Pius XII said: "We believe that the current era is a period horror of the events foretold by Christ. Seems that darkness is about to fall into the world. Mankind is in the grip of supreme crisis. "

Hildegard von Bingen. The twelfth century nun, known for being a great thinker and his contributions to classical music and literature, was the author of a number of prophecies, but they did not so famous.

In one of his predictions, apparently refers to the destruction of the United States: "Before the comet comes, many nations, the good exception, ran misery and hunger. The great nation in the ocean that is inhabited by people of different tribes and descent by an earthquake, storm and tidal waves will be devastated. shall be divided and largely submerged. That nation will also have many misfortunes at sea, and lose its colonies in the east through a Tiger and a lion.'s Comet, by its tremendous pressure, will cause flooding in many countries, causing a lot of pests.

After the great Comet, the great nation will be devastated by these plagues, earthquakes and big waves. All coastal cities will live in fear and many will be destroyed. Most living creatures will be killed, even those who escape will die from a terrible disease. At the end of this, peace will return to Earth when the French throne is restored.

The prophecies of Ursula Southeil. Known as Mother Shipton, their predictions are contested, as they doubt their veracity. One of his prophecies says: "A carriage without horse will go, disaster fill the world with pain."

Another of his predictions read: "Around the world, man's thought will fly as fast as the blink of an eye."

These are some of the things became more famous Mother Shipton, as predicted by women's liberation: "For in those wonderful days in the distance, she adopted a craze to dress like men and wear pants. Will cut their locks of hair and straddle mounted with brass forehead, just as they do now witches on broomsticks.

The prophecies of Tarabich. He was a prophet little known in Serbia, lived between 1829 and 1899, but despite not having much fame, it is believed that their predictions related to Serbia in 1930, 1940 and the Second World War, were very thoughtful.

"In the future, our land will be governed by some kind of commission, but will never be as before. Though the people in our kingdom will forget about misery, hunger and will live in great wealth, brother will start to hate and to think ill of his brother ... The Serbs are separated from each other, and say, 'I am not a Serb, I am a Serb.' The wicked will infiltrate this nation and bed with Serbian sisters, mothers and wives. He will be the father of the children, so that among the Serbs, since the beginning of the world, they are the worst kids. weak Only the born and nobody will be strong enough to give birth to a real hero. "

The technology was also an issue that touched Tarabich: "Men build a box and within will be some kind of device with images ... Man will travel to other worlds to find lifeless deserts there ... Those who will read and write different books with numbers will think that they know more ... ".

The prophecy of St. Nile disciple of St. John Chrysostom, St. Nilus was a V century ascetic monk, who made prophecies about the twentieth century, although some of his time allotted.

"After the year 1900, toward the middle of the twentieth century, the people of that time will become unrecognizable. When the time for the Advent of the Antichrist approaches, people's minds will grow cloudy from carnal passions, and dishonor and lawlessness will grow stronger. then the world will be unrecognizable. [...] will be impossible to distinguish men from women due to their shamelessness in dress and style her hair. [...] At that time, the morals and traditions of Christians and of the Church will change. People will abandon modesty, and dissipation will reign.

Falsehood and greed will attain great proportions, and woe to those who pile up treasures! Lust, adultery, homosexuality, secret deeds and murder will rule in society. [...] At that time men will also fly through the air like birds and descend to the bottom of the sea like fish. And when they have achieved all this, these unhappy people will spend their lives in comfort without knowing, poor souls, that it is deceit of the Antichrist ... "

White Horse Prophecy. Maybe the Mormons are familiar with this prophecy, but not most people. It consists of a statement apparently made in 1843, by Joseph Smith, who comes to be considered the founder of the Mormon religion.

The prophecy predicts that the U.S. Constitution, one day hang in the balance and will be saved by the efforts of a white horse ... "A terrible revolution will take place in the land of America, as never seen before because on Earth was left without a supreme government, and every species of wickedness will be practiced rampantly in the planet. Father will be against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother. most terrible scenes of bloodshed, murder and rape that have ever been imagined or considered, will take place. "

Smith believed that the U.S. constitution was written by the inspiration of God, and that the Mormon religion would be the savior.
