Until guys like me got access to modern astronomy software and we could actually run the numbers and go, well, what's happening on that day?

I think that there were certain people that were more than 100 years ago that had access to ephemerises and knew how to use them, those big, ugly tomes, and like, oh, I'll do the math here. People like Voisterman did it in the early 1800s.

Nowadays, I guess it's the 1980s is when we started getting software that we could actually use on computers that wasn't just some guy in a little office somewhere with no access to each other or to tell people what he had found. Floyd Lounsbury of Harvard was doing โ oh, he might be Yale. I loved Floyd. I hope I didn't missay that. Shout out to Floyd.

He was a very nice guy. I know a lot of those guys are the ivory tower types. Not Floyd at all. He talked to everybody. He was such a nice and gentle man. But he used those old ephemerises in the 70s and maybe even as early as the 60s.

To start figuring out some of this stuff, he's the one who really showed us for the first time that there was an 8-19 calendar and that it had something to do with Jupiter and Saturn.

And I might add, you know, when the expeditions of Stevens and Catherwood in the 1830s were happening, as they arrive in Belize and they go all the way up through the Yucatan and they visit various Maya sites, so much of these Maya cities are completely overgrown by the jungle. And the alignments that so many of these buildings have to astronomical bodies are
