What you need to know about the Maya Calendar and Doomsday

What you need to know about the Maya Calendar and Doomsday:


The Maya used for ritual and civilian uses several complementary calendar, based on a count of days in the twenties system: the ritualistic Tzolkin calendar, civil Haab Calendar and the Long Count, could be detected with the long periods required for celestial observations and historical records played a large role. The combinations of Tzolkin and Haab dates are repeated after a 52-year calendar round.
Particular attention is now in esoteric circles on 21 and 23 Dedicated in December 2012. They want to see here an alleged "Weltuntergangstag" of the Mayan creation, although this is completely incorrect to view the content of Maya researchers. It is true that on this day in the Long Count, for the first time after about 5,125 years, the numerical value of the starting day of the current 13-baktun cycle of the Long Count (13.0.0.0.0) recurs. Critics of the "doomsday" theory suggests that the Maya have made calculations that go far beyond this date, in this context, especially the Golden Jubilee of the ruler Pacal called in 4772nd However, this argument can not convince their own. Because the date 13.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count is 3113 BC occurred once before. This date was considered by the Maya as a day of creation in its present form. Also marked the beginning of the present creation in 3113 BC is not the absolute zero point of time. The Maya it was therefore possible to perform calculations, which reached before that date. The date 13.0.0.0.0 in December 2012, as part of the Long Count is not an absolute end point of time, but only the end of a cycle of 13 baktun. Thus were admissible at the upcoming date 13.0.0.0.0 beyond calculations also the question as to whether this date is linked to the idea of ​​the Maya in the same way as the last date 13.0.0.0.0 with a new beginning of creation, can consequently answer by pointing not only to their calendar calculations.
