Here asshole, let me help you out. I'll boot your ass out into the universe and you can float around until 2012, at which time hopefully you may form some type of inteligence beyond what you have now.....
No cosmic sky suddenly swinging open gates so, but what about that other disaster story: Mayan Calendar?
Here lies the truth quite differently. When the Spaniards in the 16th century conquered the realm of Maya, the Maya were not a calendar. The people took the time to no less than four calendars at once. The oldest was a calendar count of 260 days called the "Tzolkin", consisting of 20 days with all one's own name, each 13 times passed. The Maya also knew the "Haab", a calendar of 365 days, spread over 18 months of 20 days each, with a sort of bonus at the end of 5 'accident days. Calendar number three was the "short count", a sort of counter days, months, years and "Katun", periods of almost twenty years. And finally dozed in the background is called a "long count". They counted the Katun: 20 Katun formed a "baktun", and that baktuns were 13 again. This long count was however abandoned when the Spaniards arrived, probably not least because the count baktuns so extremely slow running.
A complex system so creepy, that was expressed in terms date as '10 .4.0.0.0 - 12 Ahau - 3 Uo ', or' the tenth baktun plus the fourth katun after the creation by the long count, the next-to - Ahau last-days according to the Tzolkin calendar and the 3rd day of the month according to the Uo Haab calendar. "
Well, but what is really the western translation of such a date? What Christian calendar date corresponds to what Maya Year? This is a practical problem that scientists already know about a century discussion. The Spaniards were so unwise because the most written texts of the Maya as "guide" could be burned. Researchers who want to know how the Maya Time fits the regular calendar, so must rely on carved inscriptions, written a single indication of the Spanish rulers and modern tables where you positions of planets and the moon can nazoeken. The "correlation problem", the name of this complex scientific dating puzzle trying to tie down the Mayan calendar to that of the West.
And here comes the infamous end date 21/12/2012 into play. . A small one hundred years ago scientists thought that because they were out. By looking at casual references in Spanish writings, presented the archaeologists Goodman, Martinez and Thompson as their "GMT-correlation": a calculation that the creation date of the Mayan mythology (and thus the start of the long count) fixing its August 11 of the year 3114 BC. After some Asamoah, the GMT-correlation means that the long count completes a full round in December 2012.The counter then jumps on 13.0.0.0.0 and the time is, literally, on, the archaeologists thought.
Thought, for what little 2012-prophets know is that the GMT-correlation over the past ten years under heavy fire has come to be examined by modern astronomers, archaeologists and a few hobby using mathematical. The final blow was arguably the thesis that nature scientist Andreas Fuls three years ago doctorate at the Technical University Berlin. Fuls pointed out that the GMT-correlation not consistent with a preserved Mayan table on which the positions of Venus are listed. And so there is more, such as inscriptions and objects in time of Goodman, Martinez and Thompson were not detected or outdated. By adding to it all, comes from a very different Fuls dating: one that 208 years has shifted. The end of the long count by the correlation is only about two centuries, at 21, 22 or December 23, 2220. "It is the only option," says Fuls if you ask him about it.
This is also not say whether the world in the year 2220 still perish. . "It is of course the extent of your" end "can speak in a cyclical calendar, such as the Maya", notes on Defesche. You can expect the time of the Maya after 13.0.0.0.0 just go back to 1.0.0.0.1.
Apart from the question of whether even the "long count" than actually expires. Four years ago, essentially archaeologist David Kelley and astrophysicist Eugene Milone that the Maya probably had a longer count, one in 'pictuns "baktuns periods of 20 (or 20 x 144,000 days = 7890 years). The prophets of doom - and the film industry - can have many thousands of years.
9 Reasons why the “Maya Prophecies” should
be read very critically:
1. Very fragmentary. What we have is only a handful of passages
from a lost, and much longer, story.
2. Contradictory. Though Aztec, Mixtec, and Maya sources provide us
a number of narratives, different versions disagree. The calendar
dates associated with Maya “end date,” Aztec “end date,” and
“return of Quetzalcoatl” all vary.
For example: the Aztec predict that this Creation will end on a
4‐Movement day in a 2‐Reed year, if it ends at all. The next
possible Aztec end‐date will be in 2027. Maya literature does not
explicitly predict any end at all, and their so‐called “end date” in
2012 is a 4‐Ajaw [4‐Flower in Aztec cycle], not 4‐Movement.
Mixtec Creation stories mention 2‐Deer in year 13‐Rabbit, and
other dates.
3. Manipulated. Tlacaélel, Machiavellian minister to three
Aztec emperors, had no illusions about the propaganda
power of history, and saw to it that history was rewritten
completely to exalt the Mexica and denigrate rivals. He was
neither the first or the last to do this. At his behest, the
Aztecs burned their own libraries as well as their enemies’,
in order to start with a clean slate. They even changed
Quetzalcoatl’s birthday. Likewise, Maya dates and
intervals of time were manipulated for their numerological
and augural significance.
4. Misunderstood. 21st‐century Western world‐view is very
different from that of ancient Mesoamericans. We tend to
project our own ideas and beliefs on others.
• For example: their distinction between truth and myth,
and between various individual gods, were nowhere near
our categorical boundaries. Gods did not have distinct
personalities, they blended into each other, they split into
gangs of 4 or 5. The days, and even the numerals in their
calendars were living, powerful entities. Some Maya
texts (below) appear to have indicated “myth time” with
“unworkable” calendar days.
5. Errors. Maya monuments, particularly dates and distance
numbers contain errors, both of transcription and of
calculation. I count something over 50 numerical mistakes
carved in stone. Apparently the Maya, believed that “a card
laid is a card played” and never, ever, erased and fixed a
mistake.
6. No mention of destruction nor of renewal, nor
improvement, connected to the coming 13.0.0.0.0 Maya
“end date”.
7. Implication that Life and the calendar will continue
without interruption beyond 2012.
8. The Mesoamerican concept of “cyclic time” is not that
cyclic. To both the Maya and the Aztec each Creation was
an improvement on the previous era.
9. Solstices were of very minor importance. Though they record
hundreds of ceremonies, anniversaries, jubilees, dedications,
offerings, astronomical events, etc., inscriptions almost never
mention events on solstices or equinoxes. However, especially
very early, during the Middle Formative, the Maya built “EGroups,”
architectural alignments to the Solstices and Equinoxes.
(Archaeoastonomers have long been puzzled by the fact that most
E‐Groups do not align to these risings. Recent investigation
suggests that E‐Groups may have been aligned to the solar Zenith
Passages and Nadirs, events more highly esteemed than Solstices.
The First Zenith Passage coincides with the onset of the rainy
season in much of Mesoamerica.)
