those of Rahu, Medusa and the Cosmic Crocodile are obvious. Again we have a story of a deity being torn in half with one part remaining in the heavens and one part coming to Earth. By placing the face of Tlaltecuhtli in the center of the Aztec Calendar Stone or Stone of the Fifth Sun it is suggestive that the Aztecs believed she would play some part in the end of the Fifth Sun, our current era.

A large statue of Tlaltecuhtli was recently unearthed in Mexico which had even greater similarities to the previous Medusa/gorgon image. This Tlaltecuhtli had the curly or spiral hair of Medusa along with the outstretched tongue.

What can account for such strong similarities between how these three mythological characters, Rahu, Medusa and Tlatecuhtli, were portrayed across three separate continents? The similarities in the myths can be readily explained by the fact that the ancient people of the world all witnessed the same event in the night sky and simply recorded what they saw. But there is no such explanation for why they would all choose to depict this character in identical ways. This strongly suggests there was contact between these cultures at some point in the distant past. The Greeks and Hindus could certainly have had contact that would explain the similarities in depictions of Ramu and Medusa. Yet what explains these same similarities in the depiction of Tlaltecuhtli in Mexico?
19. Samson: A Biblical Account
Interestingly, the story of Samson in the Bible also appears to encode this same event. In this story, Samson’s hair was cut which caused him to lose his strength. He was then enslaved and blinded and later destroyed the pillars holding up the roof of the Philistine’s temple.
If Samson represented a comet then the cutting of Samson’s long hair was equivalent to a tail detachment event in which a comet loses its long tail since comet means “long hair” in Greek. This would therefore be equivalent to the decapitations of the Cosmic Crocodile, Rahu and Medusa.
Like the Mayan Bacabs who became drunk and neglected their duty to hold up the sky, Samson likewise caused the sky, i.e. the temple roof, to fall onto the Philistines. In an earlier episode Samson lit the tails of hundreds of foxes on fire, which caused a Philistine city to be consumed in fire, a likely reference to a meteor storm that preceded the main impact, i.e., temple collapse.
Curiously, Samson also used the jawbone of an ass to kill an entire Philistine army. In Mesoamerican myths, the Cosmic Crocodile sometimes known as Cipactli is frequently shown missing its lower jaw bone. Likewise, the Mexican deity of Tlaloc was often represented missing his lower jawbone and, like Medusa, had large goggle eyes. One depiction of Tlaloc at the Mayan site of Yaxchilan showed him not only missing his lower jaw but also included an obvious depiction of a comet. Tlaloc was associated with rains of fire reminiscent of Samson’s fire foxes. The exact meaning of the jawbone symbol is unknown.
In one part of the Biblical narrative, Samson battled a lion. Lions were often symbols of the sun thus this could represent Samson, a long-haired star (comet), being attacked by the Sun. This is reminiscent of the Aztec myth of the battle between Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl in which Quetzalcoatl (comet) battled a jaguar which resulted in Quetzalcoatl being hurled to Earth. The jaguar, a spotted cat, is a perfect symbol for the sun during an active period when it has sunspots thus this story likely encodes the effect of a solar flare or coronal mass ejection on a comet that caused it to fragment and impact the Earth.
There was another curious episode involving this lion that Samson killed. After killing the lion Samson departed and then on his way back he passed the lion again. Bees had made a hive in
