Mysteries of The Mayan Calendar

The Classic Mayan civilization was unique and left us a way to incorporate higher dimensional knowledge of time and creation. By tracking the movements of the Moon, Venus, and other heavenly bodies, the Mayans realized that there were cycles in the Cosmos. From this came their reckoning of time, and a calendar that accurately measures the solar year to within minutes.

For the Maya there was a time for everything and everything had it's place in time. The priests could interpret the heavens and calendar. As the result they could control the daily activities of the populace. Knowing when to plant, when to harvest, the rainy and dry seasons, etc. gave them total power and control. Their comprehension of time, seasons, and cycles was immense.

The Maya understood 17 different Calendars based on the Cosmos. Some of these calendars go back as far as ten million years and are so difficult that you would need an astronomer, astrologer, geologist, and a mathematician just to work out the calculations. They also made tables predicting eclipses and the orbit of the planet Venus.

The calendars that are most important to beings of earth are the Haab, the Tun-Uc and the Tzolk'in. The Tzolk'in is the most important and the one with the most influence.
The Haab is based in the cycles of earth. It has 360 + 5 days, totalling 365 days. The Haab uses 18 months with 20 days in each month. There is a 19th month called a Vayeb and uses the 5 extra days. Each month has it's own name/glyph. Each day uses a sacred sun/glyph.
The Tun-Uc is the moon calendar. It uses 28 day cycles that mirrors the women's moon cycle. This cycle of the moon is broken down into 4 smaller cycles, of 7 day each. These smaller cycles are the four phases of moon cycle.
The Tzolk'in is the Sacred calendar of the Maya and is based on the cycles of the Pleiadies. The cycle of the Pleiadies uses 26,000 years, but is reflected in the calendar we are using by encompassing 260 days. It uses the sacred numbers 13 and 20. The 13 represents the numbers and 20 represents the sun/glyphs. The Tzolk'in has four smaller cycles called seasons of 65 days each guarded by the four suns of Chicchan, Oc, Men and Ahau. There are also Portal days within the Tzolkin that create a double helix pattern using 52 days and the mathematics of 28. This sacred calendar is still being used for divination by the traditional Maya all over the Yucatan, Guatemala, and Belize, and Honduras.
The Tzolkin calendar was meshed with a 365-day solar cycle called the "Haab". The calendar consisted of 18 months with 20 days (numbered 0-19) and a short "month" of only 5 days that was called the Wayeb and was considered to be a dangerous time. It took 52 years for the Tzolkin and Haab calendars to move through a complete cycle.

Archaeologists claim that the Maya began counting time as of year 3114 B.C.
This is called the zero year and is likened to January 1, 1 AD. All dates in the Long Count begin there, so the date of the beginning of this time cycle is written 0-0-0-0-0. 13 cycles of 394 years will have passed before the next cycle begins, which is in year 2012 A.D. (13-0-0-0-0).

@ReptileTunes very true. One of my Native brothers said "its just another day, like Anyother. Make it beautiful, don't be stupid and live in fear of it." Native Cheifs and Elders are very wise, and Imm proud to be Native because we have such wisdom. So listen to what we have to say. You'll find him if you search " Native Cheif Speaks on 2012 lie" (something like that)

Bullshit. Time is an invention of mankind. If a calendar ends, then what will happen? Just look at our damn calendar. We have just started a new year and started the calendar cycle all over again, beginning at January. There is no reason whatsoever to think that the world will end because someone elses calendar ends. There is no Planet X or Niburu or how the fuck those internet trolls call it. I am looking forward to 21 december, because all the losers who believe the world will end will shut up

I think that the only reason that the Mayan calendar ends on 2012 is because they were to damn lazy to make it any bigger.

Yeah ok you may want to do a little more research there buddy! Mayans were a blood thirsty cult who sacrificed men, women and children.I would say them and the Aztecs were probably about the scariest people to ever walk this earth,like I am going to believe a culture that would rip the heart out of people, eat it as it still beats! Mayans were evil and believed in human sacrifice,so why the heck would you believe in a race of people that would sacrifice children to bless one of their temples?
