Mexican Flag IV

I have been an avid watcher of Ancient Aliens for several years. Recently, I saw an episode titled "The Secrets of the Maya." The episode is concerning the Olmecs of Mesoamerica and their possible presence in South America, in part based on the secretary bird.

There is an archeological park in Columbia, South America, it is called San Agustin. At this park there are some ancient statues that seem to have a connection with Hinduism tradition. One statue in particular is of a bird, or an eagle, with a snake in its beak. This statue, or symbol, can be found in India and other southeast Asian countries. The host, David Childress, points out that the same symbol is on the Mexican flag.

Interesting, I learned something new. Truth be said, Childress presents a fifth valid explanation, or hypothesis, regarding the eagle with a snake in its beak on the Mexican flag.

Most people are familiar with the first account as taught in school. That is that the Aztecs had been given a sign for the place where they were to settle. They had been told to settle where they saw an eagle devouring a snake. This happened in a lake in what is now Mexico City.

The second account is the one I gave in three previous posts.

As I wrote on the first post, to me the Mexican flag displays the symbolism of Venus, Mars, and Scorpio with the addition that the white field in the middle represents the Great White Brotherhood, the White Lodge, White Tantra or White Magic. Samael Aun Weor gives further understanding in his books.

The third account I know of is the one given by Ivan Van Sertima in his book titled "They Came Before Columbus." Here he writes that the eagle depicted in the Mexican flag is a secretary bird. The secretary bird is native to Africa and not America. So he attempts to establish an African presence and influence in Mexico.

The fourth account I know of is the one that attributes the eagle to the Annunaki. Actually, this hypothesis attributes both the bald eagle of the United States and the golden eagle of Mexico as symbols of the Annunaki. In "Mystic Americanism," Grace Kincaid Morey does make a connection between the bald eagle of the United States and the golden eagle of Mexico.

The fifth account I know of is the one given in Ancient Aliens. This is the account given at the beginning of this post.
