Interesting. I had never seen this chart before. What is your take on it? What can we learn from/grow with this knowledge?

The Mayan calendar is very interesting, but though it will go through a last cycle, if I remember correctly, it does not end; it just resets itself and starts anew.

Ian Lungold and somebody he was working with figure out the math of this thing. I believe it was Feb. 10th, 2011 when the new cycle of evolution begins, or awakening of some sort.

I don't know if this has anything to do with anything, but I took the numbers from your chart, and plotted the Log and Natural Log of the lengths of those periods and I get a linear digression in both. As soon as the period becomes less than one year, the log functions turn negative.
I can't seem to get the chart saved the way I want, so someone else please feel free to do the graphics thing.
I don't know that the information is useful, but I thought it was interesting to see how the time periods related to one another. The Log10 line has a slope of almost exactly negative 3.

Here are the dates of katuns during the past 1,000 years

8 Ahau 1185 1441 1697 1953
6 Ahau 1204 1460 1717 1973
4 Ahau 1224 1480 1736 1993
2 Ahau 1244 1500 1756 2012
And what of the present katun, katun 4-Ahau? According to the Maya inscriptions, the katun began on 4/6/1993 and ends with the entire Long Count/creation epoch on 12/21/2012.
Following the prophecy scheme of the cycle of the 13 katuns listed above, we could expect scarcities and the arrival of great leaders. It is also the katun of "remembering knowledge and writing it down." It does appear that in the past this katun coincided with a questionable measure of stability in the world and also significant advances in the written word. For example, katun 4-Ahau lasted from 1224 to 1244. During this time Frederick II took Jerusalem, but he took it diplomatically. The next time this katun came up was between 1480 and 1500. Clearly, this was a period of great voyages and discoveries -- but things were also relatively stable politically which made exploration possible. This period also marks an important period of growth in printing. Katun 4-Ahau came up next between 1736 and 1756. Interestingly, it was during this period that the first encyclopedia was published. The War of the Austrian Succession 1740-1748 did bring a settlement of territories and a measure of stability, and there were a number of alliances formed during this time as well. Power kept shifting, but did not erupt in an all-out way. Such may actually be the case from 1993 to 2012.
The Maya regarded katun 2-Ahau as half good and half bad, a time of uniting for a cause, but also as the katun during which came the "end of the word of God." And what does that mean? It is true that in previous 2-Ahau katuns there were great religious or ideological crises

this model does not exist any Maya artifacts, Pophil Voh, or the Dresden Codex, or the Chilam Balam
(those references are likely not spelled right...i'm just going from my memory--no notes available)

IMHO the'Nights' cycles are new age constructions that are over-the-top esorteric for engaging the
minds of creative & involved people & creating a cottage industry for the authors' good livingedit on 4-2-2011 by St Udio because: (no reason given)
