SECTION #3 of 9    

"STAR*chitecture" as seen in a TIPI 

   (After spending some spacetime in sections 0, 1, 2 and 7)

AND NOW you are finally ready (are you?) 

 for some elegantly and/or shockingly SIMPLE, 

yet accurately TRUE, "STAR*chitecture"   -by rock

*Shockingly simple starchitecture (SSS) may be too good to believe, but at the very least, 

it is a healing mnemonic device (MD) for your memory's recall!

   NOTE: Western STEM is still filled with its legacy languages of privileged Greco-Roman, tongue-wrestling, alphabetically, literate elites. For example, Mother Mnemosyne (silent "M") had her 9 daughters, the Muses (not silent here).  A Science or Art "Museum" is a place to recall and appreciate their interrelated STEM/CLAH significance.  Should we have 9 Museums or just One with 9 Maze-like chambers to musically move and geometrically-astronomically and 

theatrically dance through, as if we were being swallowed by an umbilical-like snake?

BUT WHY NINE DAUGHTERS????????? [Perhaps 9 lunar years one way and another 9 the other way? for 18 ish soli-lunar years]

and the Maya People consider the Underworld of XIBALBA to have NINE (9) levels 

Wiċaŋḣpi 🌟 iyeġa wo/ye! [Wi = sun Wiċaŋḣpi = star]

Wiċaŋḣpi 🌟 iyeġa wo/ye!

"Twinkle twinkle little star,                  

How I wonder what you are! 

Up above the world so high, 

Like a diamond in the sky."                           

Twinkle twinkle little star,                  

How I wonder what you are!

-1806 English poem by Jane Taylor

Different Pole Stars for Different Millenia

We usually consider the three tipi poles as symbolically connected with the Tayamni Bison (Orion) backbone and ribs, but because we say that the "Thunderbird looks into the tipi from above," we should also consider that these three stars could be Polaris (North Star now for the last 2000 years) and for Thuban (North Star 5000 years ago - Thunderbird's wingtip star) and for Vega as North Star around 13,000 years ago (about half a wobble ago when glaciers were here in Mni Sota Makoche)

  Consider a Tipi Rope like an Umbilical Cord from and back to the 3 Bison Stars...

        (We have a Dakota story of an Earth woman who marries a Star man and lives up there with him... until she braids a long cord)

   Also consider that this cord is made of very strong carbon nanotube molecules!

Imagine extending a verrrrrry long carbon nanotube cable from the equator in the ocean to 

100,000 kilometers up above into space, so you can ride a pressurized elevator there and back! 

To see the DAWN from up in space is to truly see the sun appear between the black sky and the blue-green kapemni earth.

Consider the Mayan glyph for DAWN below as seen from a Maya pyramid or from an even higher elevator cable to space!

SKY - SUN - EARTH

 The numbers from one to twenty are all that is needed to write any number, since the Maya used a base 20 system.  

    Numbers can be written as dot-bar combinations where each bar = 5,  or as personalized faces that tell a story!

There are other ways to pronounce these however, than shown below. 

 The Maya and Mexica (Aztecas) both counted time as a cycle of 20 days (not 7). Each day also combined with a number from 1 to 13 making 260 combinations called the Tz'olkin or Cholkin cycle.  The Yucatec Maya version of these 20 days are below.  

Day #20 Ahaw is the Sun face.
