Has anyone ever thought, the reason the Mayan calender stopped on the date it did, is because the simply ran out of room on that particular rock?

Cycles don't end per se, they repeat.

It's sorta like how a clock "appears to stop at 12", but in reality we have been using it over and over to count thousands of hours.

The clock didn't run out of room exactly, it is just not practical to list that many numbers. Once you realize you can reuse the first 12 #s twice a day, it's a breeze there forward.

HAPPY NEW BAKTUN EVERYBODY!

twinkies are back

As Muzzleflash pointed out - it's just a repeat, even if any of you doomsayers had your dates correct. There have been over 10 of the suckers.. and there is nothing special about the current one that spells doom for the world. In the past, the dawning of a new baktun was simply a matter of celebration. Build a few new temples in respect, we survived a another age.. time to start another! Leave it to current humans to turn what was a standard if fairly infrequent event that called for celebration, into a portent of doom and destruction.

Ok i don't usually get into this stuff here but what the hell..


And then i ran into this online, bear with me it's just all very interesting to me, that's about it. But still nevertheless, interesting.

In fact the Gregorian calendar is always off target and the elite function in terms of 30 day lunar cycles.

March is the first real month of every year.
September = Heptagon = 7 sided
October = Octagon = 8 sided
November = Nonagon = 9 sided
December = Decagon = 10 sided

Then there is a Russian mathematician (Anatoly Fomenko) that states that the Dark Ages never even happened which means this year is roughly 998 AD.

Romans used to put i before the year so i666 was 1666 when the devil went Twisted Fire Starter on Baker Street in London.

Philip K Dicks Trippy half scifi/half biography VALIS claimed that it's really still only 200 AD

Aparently recently someone did their math:

The baktun is 144,000 days.There are 13 baktuns in the Mayan Calendar.

144,000 days x 13 baktuns = 1,872,000 solar days. Now the Gregorian calendar solar year is 365.2425

The Julian calendar solar year is 365.25 The Haab Mayan calendar solar year is 3651,872,000 days/365.2425 (Gregorian solar year) = 5125.36 years 1,872,000 days/365.25 (Julian solar year) = 5125.256 years and then here is the big difference….1,872,000 days/365 (Haab solar year) = 5128.76 years. Subtract 5128.76 years (Haab) from 5125.256 years (Julian) =READY……..

=3.504 year difference and that makes 1260 days.

This would mean that Dec 8th, 2012 (Julian calendar) is actually May 21st, 2016 (Mayan Haab calendar). Dec. 8th, 2012 plus 1260 days = 5/21/2016or Dec. 21st, 2012 (Gregorian) is actually June 3rd, 2016 (Mayan Haab calendar). Dec. 21st, 2012 plus 1260 days = June 3, 2016

They are not counting the days by true Mayan Haab 365 solar days but instead using the Gregorian and Julian solar days to arrive to the dates of Dec. 8th, 2012 (Julian) and Dec. 21st, 2012 (Gregorian) which shouldn’t have been done this way!

You guys ar wcomed to find any reliable sources. Apparently this was discovered recently. So we have just 2 more days

It's the dawning of the sixth day after the end of the world. The airs oxygen content is just below 22%; the lakes and rivers are full of hydrogen dioxide; and there is a large ball of burning fire in the sky which is even visible during the day. Some say this is the reason for the continuing evaporation of our oceans.
It is not known how much longer mankind can tolerate these conditions but the best estimates put it at about two billion years. But, that is under optimal conditions, if nothing changes in any substancial manner.
