Why might builders today be impressed with Maya building methods?
because its diffrent how we build today
the Mayans lived in the rain forests with the jaguar, the giant tapir, and miniature silky anteater.
Why does the Mayan long count calendar start at 13.0.0.0.0?
It is a presumption to be 13.0.0 : 0.0 which reads as 13 baktun. A baktun is 400 tun and 13 baktun (13x 400) is 5200 tun of 360 days. The Maya presumed that if they expect the world to end in 5200 tun, then the last world destroyed by Noah's Flood was also 5200 tun. Hindu do this also but by doubling. In Hindu this current world lasts more than a Mayan 5200 years of 360 days from Noah's Flood 3114bc, but rather 432,000 years from Noah's Flood 3102bc. Hindu then increase every world before that in this way. 1200 x360 days is 432,000 days that they insist are 432,000 years. The world before the Flood was 2400x 360, the world before that was 3600x 360, and the first world was 4800x 360. Bible Genesis unveils that this is derived from totals of expecting 6000 years. 2400 +3600 will 1200 years later become 3600 +2400, and then 1200 years later become 4800 + 1200. The fix is the fall of 3rd dynasty Ur in 1900bc, with 3rd dynasty later mistaken as falling in 2030bc when 1st dynasty fell. It has to do with the king Ibbi-Sin being there in 2029bc so that they dont see how he could rule his 24 years as 1925-1901bc. The point is the math places Hindu as leaving Ur to move to India in 1900bc and dwelling there 1200 years to 700bc. Because they beleived the venus tablets brought to them form Babylon in 1625bc (Adams 2400am) were instead from 1900bc (as 3600am) they beleived Adam was 5500bc and the end should come 500 AD. Both these dates are world-wide famous as Epoch and Armageddon. Hatred for the Bible hides it as being Adam and armageddon in 6000 years. Hindu failure of 500 AD meant just take the 1200 as 432,000 years to eternally worship under Hindu priestly control. However, Moslems came and took over, and then British christianity came to control.
So too the Maya world of 2256 before Flood and 3744 after Flood failed in Ahau Pacal Votan (Lord Shield Votan) in 630 AD for 52 years, and they extended to 13 baktun (2012 AD). This resulted in claiming the previous 4 worlds before Noah's Flood 3114bc were also 5200 tun (13 baktun) so they and our scholars label it as 13 while a few label it as zero.
The fools can be compared to as thinking the next asteroid cannot hit Earth until 65 million years on new year's day, in exact cycles over and over. Basically government or commercialism or science is just like religion being all about control with lies. The lies dominate to get money or wealth or servants.
