Mayan Calendar

You can find information about the Mayan calendar on websites such as National Geographic, Ancient History Encyclopedia, and academic research databases like JSTOR or Google Scholar. Books and documentaries on the topic are also available on platforms like Amazon or Netflix.

The Mayan long count calendar was based on the belief that time is cyclical and that events in the past would repeat themselves in the future. This cyclical view of time was important in shaping Mayan religious and cultural practices.

January 19th fell on a Sunday in the following years: 1986, 1992, 1997, 2003, 2014, and 2020.

Early civilizations used the position of certain stars for buildings like Mayan pyramids and Greek temples to align them with astronomical events like solstices, equinoxes, or important celestial events, linking their structures to a broader cosmic framework and possibly for religious or ceremonial reasons. By aligning these buildings with specific stars or constellations, these ancient civilizations demonstrated their knowledge of astronomy and sought to establish connections between the earthly and the celestial realms.

Yes, 2012 is a common year. Common years have 365 days, unlike leap years which have an extra day.

Akshaya Tritiya in 1963 fell on May 2nd.

It was a Wednesday

The Mayan calendar system is complex and consists of multiple calendars. The Long Count calendar, which is one of the Mayan calendars, spans over 5,000 years. It is a linear count of days since a mythical creation date.

26,000 years is close to the amount of time it takes for the direction of tilt of the earth's rotational axis with respect to the background stars to make one full cycle.

No, the Mayans did not use leap years in their calendar system. Their calendar was based on a 260-day cycle called the Tzolk'in and a 365-day cycle called the Haab'. The combination of these two cycles created a calendar round of 52 years.

The possibility of a second undiscovered Mayan calendar is intriguing, as it could provide further insight into Mayan timekeeping and cosmology. Any new calendar would likely reveal more details about Mayan culture, beliefs, and possibly even predictions about the future. Researchers would need to carefully study and decipher any newly discovered calendar to fully understand its significance.

The Maya put a zero day before every year. There are two calendars (not three, do we call our weeks a calendar, no, so why would you call a tzolkin as a calendar). There is a 360-day calendar. It starts 20 or 21 days after the original calendar of Noah, and before the Flood. It is 21 days after day zero, but it is 20 days after the original Noah's new year. New Year day zero is the 20th day of Noah's 1st month in 360-day calendar; the day is always named Ahau (Ahaw) which means Lord. But the 1st day of the new year is the next day imix which will always be the 21st of Noah's 360-day calendar. This is what proves that day Ahau is not 3114bc G.Aug 11 but G.Aug 12, and so day Ahau is not 2012 G.Dec 21 but rather G.Dec 22. Others will presume they KNOW that you are arguing whether the end and beginning is day Ahau (2012 Dec 22) or day imix (2012 Dec 23), but that's not the issue, the issue is which day did start in 3114bc as 4Ahau, was it G.Aug 10 ot G.Aug 11 or G.Aug 12 or G.Aug 13?

As for the other calendar it is 365-day like Persian like Egyptian like Zoroastrian like Armenian. Its day Pop 1 is 16 days before Egyptian new year Thoth 1, which makes Pop 0 as 17 days before it. I am the one that found out that in 2021bc this Pop 0 and Pop 1 is the Greek Dec 24 and 25 Christmas of Noah's death claiming he went to heaven, the first to go to heaven because he was 950 and worthy by age alone. (Peleg died 10 years before and thus creates the idea the dead had to wait to go to heaven until the Christ died first, until Noah the Savior died.

Lastly, what is called the day calendar is 13-day cycle, such as 13 leap days in 52 years added to 365-day calendar which is 260 days longer than 52 years of 360 days. These 13 leap days fit into the 260 days, because 52 Julian are 273 days (260+13) more than 52 of 360 days. Thus the 260 days becomes the new Mayan 20-day (?)week? (?)month? and thats what started 18x 20 days = 360 days, plus 5 days is 365-days for both calendars. I place this in Copan in 1313bc because i beleive the Izapa zeniths are 1275bc n ot 1359bc. The 1275bc is 600x 360 days (believed as 50x 12 year Jupiter which is correctly 601 years not 600) and this 600 years are 592-year Venus believing the 8-year Venus is 1867-1275bc instead of 600-year Venus. Noah's Shem died at age 600 in 1868bc when his (Jan 2) 502-year Venus Shem-Ramis is the same Greg.Dec 17 as the Floodyear (Jan 6). Semiramis matches 251-year cycles with Noah's death and Shem's death and Nimrod's death.

The Mayan calendar does not use leap year so technically 2012 should have already happened. So 2012 is false. If your not talking about 2012 sorry but the Mayan calendar does not use leap year

The Mayan calendar system is primarily used in countries in Central America, including Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and parts of Mexico. These countries are where the ancient Mayan civilization once thrived, and their descendants still follow the calendar for cultural and religious purposes.

The Mayans made a calendar so that they could memorize important dates of when they believed major events or meetings would occur.

They invented the Calendar because they needed to know which God was in charge of that day.

They needed to know who to praise, and to give the human blood to.

Mostly for Rain.

Yes and No. It is a countdown from a beginning to and end, but not necessarily the end of the world. The Mayans were amazing astronomers and this intricate calendar is proof of their stargazing prowess. They watched and studied the motions of the moon, sun, stars and planets enough to where they could use them as guides through time. The Mayan calendar is ultimately an astrological timetable. But one does have to wonder as to what they (the Mayans) thought was to happen at the end of their Long count.

"Tzolkin" and "Haab'" are two of the Mayan words used to name their calendar.

Modern calendars are not based off the Mayan Calendar, but the Mayan Calendar has influenced the way some cultures view time and celestial events. The Gregorian calendar is the one most widely used worldwide today.

The Mayan calendar is a system for tracking time used by the ancient Mayan civilization, while the Miami Circle is a mysterious archaeological site in Florida consisting of a perfect circle of holes carved into limestone. Both the Mayan calendar and the Miami Circle represent aspects of ancient cultures' understanding of time, astronomy, and spiritual beliefs, although they are not directly related in terms of function or purpose.

The Mayans predicted that the world would end on 2012, according to the scientist or others. The Mayans wrote in hieroglyphics on their calendar, they also drew a picture of an astronaut on the moon. And now hundreds of years later... our astronauts are on the moon. So, if they got their prediction right, does this mean that they will also be right about the world ending on 2012? Some believe and some don't. Some say that they ran out of room on their calendar, others say that they are fooling us, trying to scare us.

No, Aztec and Mayan calendars are not the same. They have unique characteristics and differences in terms of structure, symbols, and purposes. Both civilizations developed complex calendar systems, but they were independent of each other.

Yes, the Aztec and Mayan calendars were sophisticated systems that accurately tracked time and astronomical events. They showed the advanced understanding and knowledge of these civilizations in fields such as mathematics, astronomy, and agriculture. The calendars were central to their religious beliefs and social organization.

The Maya calendar was developed by the ancient Maya civilization in Mesoamerica. It was likely influenced by earlier Mesoamerican cultures and their understanding of astronomy. The Maya's advanced knowledge of mathematics and astronomy allowed them to create a complex calendar system that accurately tracked time and celestial events.
