The Aztecs may have followed an ancient Venusian Goddess who was believed to walk the earth as a man for 40 days before returning to the Kingdom of Heaven; the 40 days reflecting the period of time between the believed resurrection of Jesus and his ascension to the Kingdom of Heaven. The Babylonians may have referred to Venus as the “bright queen of the sky” and she can take 40 days to complete a retrograde cycle.40 can be a very familiar symbol in the Bible and through other systems It can be repeated over 100 times in the Bible, here’s a list of some: the story of Noah and the flood, raining for 40 days and 40 nights (Gn 7:4,12,17; 8:6); Mt. Sinai, Moses is with God on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights (Ex 24:18); the prophet Elijah ,being pursued by Queen Jezebel, flees for and travels 40 days and nights entering the mountain of God at Horeb (Sinai) (1 Kings 19:8); in the New Testament, the tempting of Jesus in the desert for 40 days and nights,(Luke 4:2, Mark 1:13); and, as mentioned above, Jesus ascension to heaven occurs 40 days after the Resurrection (Acts 1:3).https://youtube/watch?v=nTZECwdctBE
