Maya calendar

It belonged to a world of omens, planets, kingship and careful sky-watching.

It was not a Maya calendar date, it was not part of the long count, and there is no ancient bridge connecting Maya timekeeping to a returning hidden planet.

That bridge was built much later out of internet rumour, modern prophecy, and a very human habit of turning a date on a calendar into a door at the end of the world.

The Maya, meanwhile, had been doing something quieter and more difficult.

Not in some secret tablet buried beneath a temple floor.

It began much later in books, television documentaries, New Age workshops, disaster forums, and eventually the fast-moving rumour machine of the early internet.

By the 1970s and 1980s, a number of popular writers had begun looking at Maya calendars through a very modern lens.

they saw the approaching date of december twenty twelve and asked a question that maya scribes do not appear to have asked in the same way what happens when the count reaches thirteen for some writers the answer was not simply another date it was transformation a shift in consciousness the end of one age and the birth of another This idea fit neatly with a growing spiritual culture that blended meditation, astrology, ancient civilizations, environmental concern, UFO stories, and a deep suspicion that official history was hiding something important.

A 260-day sacred calendar used by this ancient civilization.

Tonight, in the most advanced documented calendar ever created by a human kind, the Mayan calendar, which the Nahuatl Pipil also follow, but in our own language.

At sundown, it became the ninth day of Quetzalcoatl during the week of Cusca-Cuaute, Chic-Naui-Quetzalcoatl in Nahuatl.
