How true is the Mayan Calendar?

Answer 1

It depends on what you mean by 'correct'. As calendars go, it is as correct as any other as long as it serves the needs of those who use it. A calendar is a way of reckoning time, and that's all it has to 'do', whatever that means. If you are asking about the popular predictions of the end of the world, 21 December 2012, based on the Mayan calendar, then the answer is no. It's a calendar, for goodness' sake. The cycles built into the calendar all coincide on 21 December 2012. Some conclude that this is a mystical sign that the world will end. Truth is, a new cycle of cycles begins on 22 December 2012 according to the Mayan calendar, which might mean something to people who are actually observing the Mayan calendar.

Answer 2

extremaly accurate, so accurate that they were able to predict eclipses, but scientist do question one event on their calender, their prediction of the end of the world because that could have been based more on their religion rather than their science

PS. their prediction was December 21 2012 the same as certain types of Christianity.The world ending thing is not true , the Mayan's did not know about the leap years it's not True

Answer 3

Most of there Prophecy is true. But not the end of the world Prophet. NASA has already said that if it was going to happen, then NASA would have discovered it about a decade ago, so there's nothing to worry about. See you in 2013.

Answer 4

I don't know..I do know the world won't end in 12/21/2012. Earlier this year, an Elder Mayan explained to the world that the last date on there calendar was 12/21/2012 because they didn't have enough space to put any other dates. It is just the beginning of a new calendar.

Answer 5

According to researchers like Ian Xel Lungold and Dr. Carl Johan Callerman, the true Mayan end date is not Dec.21st, 2012, but Oct.28, 2011. That's a difference of 13 months and three weeks earlier han the more modern or commonly accepted date. Why the difference? The researchers claim that he Dreamspell or 13 lunar-month calender upon which Arguelles and others based their calculations does not take into account the quarterly leap day(Feb.29) introduced into the Gregorian calendar by Pope Gregory in 1582, whereas the true Mayan calendar does. This pushes the end date almost 14 months ahead of schedule to Dec.21st, 2012(as calculated from Aug.of 3115 BC).

If this revision is valid, and it appears to be so, then we have even less time to absorb the inpending switch to, as the channeler Bashar would put, it a slightly more positive than negative vibration in our cosmos. And that initial tipping over to the positive side will continuously gather momentum as the years roll by.

Fifth dimensional reality filtered through the fourth will begin to seriously transform our current three-dimensional world or reality. The cause and effect factor will will increase substantially so that what you think or wish for will become reality in almost no time. In fact, our sense of linear time will start to dissaapear as we unhook from the male-dominated thinking mode to the feminine intuitive. The mind and intellect will continue to falter in the face of our exponentially increasing vibratory rate and ultimately break down along with the institutions it upholds and give way to our more natural and adaptive intuitive mode.

Throughout the ensuing Uranus in Aries transit(2010-2017) the power will switch from the organization or collective to the individual. Governments, companies, institutions, and organizations will crumble and individual sovereignity will take flight as we reclaim our rightful divine power and identity which we have been robbed of for the last 6000 years. Neptune transiting its own sign of Pisces(2012-2024) will fuel our intuitions and open up the previously hidden or invisible dimensions to our view. Our scope or understanding of the time and place we occupy in this solar system, galaxy, and universe will finally be clear.

Answer 6

The Mayan calendar is a complex system that includes various cycles for tracking time. While there is historical significance to the Mayan calendar, the belief that it predicts the end of the world or major global events is not supported by evidence. It is a cultural artifact that offers insights into Mayan society and their understanding of time.

Answer 7

No!

NO! How come we have no 32 in our calendar? 22 is like 32 so they feel that 21 is 31. TA DA!

Answer 8

As far as I have ever heard the Mayan calander is not wrong. As to the 2012 prediction, we won't know until we get there.
