I'm not complaining. But the point I made was that there was a discrepancy in what you were saying and what you are saying is based greatly on the accuracy of dates, based on the first portion of your research.
It did get the attention of people, but that attention initially was negative and now there are those, uhum, that continue to add nothing and insult even though there is no need because the thread is finally on its way and has been for quite a while already.

You're new, but you sound rather bright in comparison. Welcome. And oh, I have my doubts about the OP returning.

The Mayan Calendar Explained
The Maya and 2012 - timeline and references
These threads both explain how the Long Count extends past 13 baktun. Or do you deny the existence of higher order dates like piktuns and the date on Coba Stela 1?

Not a question about the actual research, as I have little time to spare at this very moment (perhaps in a few hours), but what is the purpose of the research? This is a two part question.
1.What inspired you to do the research?
2.What is the purpose of the research? If untrue then it is meaningless. If it is true it is equally meaningless because we will be dead. At best (in terms of effect) you are either putting people into fear or making them less caring of the law and long term lives.

The Maya are fascinating. But never predicted the end of the world.
Rather the end of a cycle. What the ending of a cycle means, we don't really know. We know what they thought it meant but whether or not that was based on myths/faith or in reality...... I guess we'll never know. If something WAS meant to happen, they'd be severely disappointed had they not mysteriously vanished.
Those who discredit the Mayan calendar as "just a calendar" are wrong. I think it's sheer length and accuracy with the equinoxes is anything but ordinary. They clearly had a great knowledge of space, well beyond their apparent capabilities.
Not the end of the world. The start of a new cycle. What that means, I don't know. But looking around... if anything, the world iss going down hill with little signs of improvement so.... this age sucks.

I have loads of calenders at home, pick the one you want.. First dated calender is 6000 years old.. Babylon and their observatory, but im sure a Mason can tell you a story about magic and stuff..
The Egyptians and the Mayans used a 365 day solar calendar. That is the most accurate. And definitely not the Gregorian calendar at 365.2425 solar days.
So do you want me to post my information further or not?

The Maya did not talk about different Suns. That was part of Aztec mythology. So why would it be connected to the Long Count?

Frankly I am very busy right now and the research is in random areas. When I get the chance I will, though I did read the first piece. Didn't have the time last night for the rest.
Ok so, are you actually making a prediction or just explaining the possible reality that a previous prediction was off?
I'd gladly see an apocalyptic discussion, though less serious and more cosmic. For the mere fun. I doubt there will be many here that will fear as many, I believe, scrutinize and do not base beliefs off of things without observation. I mean that in a good way mind you. Can't seem to get the word I'm thinking of.

What happens at the end of most cycles, rest, change, RENEWAL.
Your whole post is nice except for you claiming you don't know what that means
