Also, the bald guy’s statement about the number 13 representing the 13 levels of heaven is pure conjecture. I’ve even seen a guy on You-Tube lecturing about the platforms of the Chichen Itza Castillo representing the different levels of the development of consciousness of mankind. Pure fantasy! It's very typical of the so-called New Age experts.

"The birth of Christ". It should be a shame to mankind to use a calendar based in a fake the birth of an imaginary brainwashing character who has not been cited by any of the historians of then. Still we can talk about all biblical stories without taboos, but we cannot discuss old civilizations' (specially Sumerians) texts as scientific researches and lived and/or transmitted events, but rather look at them as their stupid beliefs in imaginary gods.

Pathetic.

360 degrees in a circle... why do they assume this is some type of obvious conclusion to make? the babylonians came up with that... how did the mayan know of the babylonians and their mathematics?

This video is full of the most astonishing errors. The moon never looks like that from the earth, and most of the images are even backwards. The speaker constantly talks about 3000 years of history, but we know next to nothing about the Maya before 250 BC. The speaker talks about forecasting the future, but we have no evidence that the Maya thought that way. How much better this series would be if the writers had stuck to the facts. They are extraordinary enough!

That's like asking whether mathematics or philosophy wins. Of course, I choose the Maya. : )
