Why do most people think that lunar eclipses occur more often then a solar eclipses?
Because for any given point on Earth, lunar eclipses are visible more often than solar eclipses.
Lunar and solar eclipses cannot be predicted with any accuracy?
False. Lunar and solar eclipses can be calculated with PINPOINT accuracy for thousands of years into the past or future.
Was the dec 21 lunar eclipse predicted by Mayans?
Possibly, but most Mayan records were destroyed centuries ago by the Spanish conquistadores. Certainly the Mayans had the math and the technology to predict lunar eclipses, as did the Druids of Stonehenge and the Greeks, Egyptians and Babylonians. Eclipses are fairly east to predict. The ancient Greeks built a pocket calculator to do the job.
What are the kinds of eclipses?
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses
How many eclipses are there in a calendar year?
The answer very much depends on the year. One calendar year has a minimum of four eclipses, which are two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses. A year can have as many as seven eclipses. So each year is different.

Were total eclipses or annular eclipses more common in the distant past?
In the very distant past, the Moon's orbit was closer to Earth than it is now, and the Moon continues to VERY SLOWLY recede in its orbit. So it is likely (although I have not seen any calculations to bear this out) that in the distant past there would have been fewer annular eclipses and more total eclipses. However, there was nobody around to notice.

What did the Ancient Egyptians believe about eclipses?
they believed that it was a moment of darkness because they believed that someone stole the moon or sun, one of them. They all hid in their houses. They believed that whoever stole the moon/sun was trying to hurt the Pharaoh. I believe this is what happened. Might have been otherwise, but this is what my History teacher told me.
Do people think that Stonehenge was built by the egyptians?
No it was not built by Egyptians
