THE GREAT SCALES:
OSIRIS AND PAKAL AND THE AZTEC CALENDAR
In this essay, let us compare the elements of the belief
system of Osiris with the design elements on the lid of Pakal's sarcophagus.
Very little is known about the origin of the beliefs around Osiris of
ancient Egypt. Therefore, a possible relationship between the Osiris
belief system and the belief system of the ancient maya is not even
considered to be a valid theme of research by many scholars. One cannot
state that these two systems are related; there is no historical evidence
to support such a thesis. But, we can compare the two systems to show
how someone from the system of Osiris may have interpreted the elements
on the lid of Pakal's sarcophagus.
