Also to be considered is the failure of religion. Maya doctrine does align with Genesis with no connection to Catholic nor Mormon. They have the calendar and math that does macth the ancient east world in correlations (Egypt and China). This means like Babylon and Greeks whom the Catholics saw produced a 5200bc Adam which ends 6000 years in 800 AD, the failure of false timelines produces society that falls apart. Because power and control is by those who create history for us to worship whether it be politics or evolution, etc. Schools make money like churches, and false hopes collapse whole empires. Life is NOT a game, or it is, and shouldnt be.

Ultimately, every culture has its quirks, and diversity should be celebrated rather than judged.

Do Mayan days begin the same hours as Mayan dates?
Mayan days such as 1 Ahau, 2 imix, 3 ik are not always on the same year date. Don Jhoan Xiu says in 1685ad that the new year was Pop 1 on 5Kan (in 1534) and then Pop 1 6Muluc in 1535. Modern placement of the epoc in 3114bc and its very date demand that this must mean in 1534 the writer noted 1533 had Pop 1 on 5Kan, and in 1535 the writer noted 1534 had Pop 1 on 6Muluc. However, is the new year Pop 0 (zero) yet? The epoc whether 3114bc Aug 11 or 12 or 13 is always claimed as 4Ahau 8 Cumku which means that the day 5Kan falls on Pop 2, not Pop 1, nor Pop 0. So i wondered if as Mayan day can be a different hour than Mayan dates. Can days be sunset and dates be sunrise so that all days occur on two dates? so the accepted sequence is 3ik 0 Pop, then 4Akbal 1 Pop, then 5Kan 2 Pop. But the record says 5Kan 1Pop. There may not have always been a Pop 0 so Pop 1 and 0 can shift it, but how does one shift from Pop 1 to Pop 2. Don Jhoan Xiu's sequence (presuming a date 0 Uayeb) would be 3ik 4Uayeb, 4Akbal 0 Pop, and 5 Kan 1 Pop. So i guess nothing can be resolved until someone can confirm if hours of days began the same hour as hours of date.
