Exactly. Give our civilization another 500 years and we wont have nearly as much material artifacts to leave behind. The previous civilization that ended abruptly during the great cataclysmic event that occurred around 10,000 years ago would have ended progress as they new it.

You need to get your calendars straight. If the tongue is sticking out (review your photos) it's Aztec.
The Aztecs along with the Mayans and many other cultures all inherited the "Mesoamerican calander" from an earlier, unknown culture...

I think it makes more sense that the calendar is based on celestial positioning rather than human development though. So for me it comes down to how much faith I have in astrology.

Well the goal for about every living being is to survive, procreate and strive for the longest time possible.
One thing for certain, even if we plan to survive forever as a race, we absolutely must figure out how to get to other planet, either habitable or terraformed, because eventually the sun will explode anyway.
So that's something to look forward to for a while.

i'm leaning towards inter mind projection technology for computers.
where the computer screen is in your field of vision like a heads up display but without wearing glasses or other clunky electronics.
and you can take it with you were ever you go.
maybe in our lifetimes, a holographic projection of the computer screen right in front of us without the use of a monitor.
The three calendars are used simultaneously. The Tzolkin and the Haab identify and name the days, but not the years. The Long Count date comes first, then the Tzolkin date and last the Haab date. A typical Mayan date would read: 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahau 8 Kumku, where 13.0.0.0.0 is the Long Count date, 4 Ahau is the Tzolkin date and 8 Kumku is the Haab date.
