Tonatiuh's Face is of the sun. Lord of heavens, around which takes place all daily and periodic phenomena. The crown, nose piercing, ear piercing and necklace. The hair is blond, due to the color of the sun. The wrinkles on the face show experiance and wisdom. And the tongue, stuck out is the form of a knife, indicating the demands to be replenished with blood and human sacrafice.

The glyphs in the Mayan calendar represent different days and symbols, each with its own significance. They were used to record dates, ceremonies, and historical events in Mayan culture. The glyphs help us understand the cyclical nature of time and the beliefs of the ancient Maya about the interconnectedness of the universe.

Christians believe that this world will end because the Bible says it will. But no date is given. The Mayan calander ends in the year 2012, they may or may not have believed the world would end. It seems their calander failed to mention to them that their civilization would end long before 2012.
