Leap year only exists in geogian calender that we follow now.
The mayan calender followed a completely different system and hence either it did not require leap year change or it already accounted for it in some other way
Just my two cents

This is a hoax. Archeologists used the calendar we use now to calculate Dec 21, 2012 as the end date for the Mayan calendar. Yes, they did factor in leap years. The are not retarded.

Re: Mayans didn't account for leap year?
Im quite sure leap year is just another tool of the luciferians attemp to alter true and real time so we wont know what time it really is.The popes and all seek to hide what day and time we realy are in,so thats why the Olmacs who basically taught the mayas until they started interacting with the reptilians and started sacrificing people.so the Olmacs built ships and sailed them away from them.But the point is they seek to change and alter time..

Evidence?

The Mayans used 3 different kinds of calendars, and AFAIK none of them used leap years.

Why would they account for an error in the Gregorian calender?

Leap is year the direct result of a failed time-keeping system -- a patch.

We have changed calendars at least twice, people have added days, removed days, added leap years, all kinds of craziness. The chances of them being spot on with the date are slim, in my opinion. Some think the date was actually October 28, 2011. So there you go.

OMG THE LEAP YEAR THING.. regardless of your opinion on what will or will not happen on 12/21/2012, the leap year thing is simply a matter of logic. Just think about it for a minute. Do you actually think that the date "December 21, 2012" is inscribed on the tablet? It's converted to our date system just like anything else found that has a date... regardless of whether the date is in the past or the future.

Mayan calender year was 365.2420 days long and the calender we use today uses 365.2425. the actual year is 365.2422 based on astrology. I would say they were pretty accurate and accounted for the leap year just in a different way than just adding a day every four years.

Re: Mayans didn't account for leap year?
Debate all you want about what year or day you really think it is according to the Mayan calendar. Some have even argued that we may be off by up to 7 - 9 years from "translation" of the Mayan calendar, to the Gregorian. This has ABSOLUTELY NO RELEVANCE!!!

The Mayan calendar keeps a record of Venus transits, and solar eclipses. There was a solar eclipse (annular) this year on May 20, there was a Venus transit on June 6, and there was a total solar eclipse on November 13, just as the Mayan calendar says. It is accurate. That is the "failsafe." We can just look into the sky on certain dates to check to see if the Mayan calendar is accurate, which it is.

--Benjamin Franlkin

No one ever said freedom was safe. Upon true understanding of the concepts of freedom, you shall realize that freedom is the most dangerous choice of lifestyle. There are no guarantees in freedom but those one provides for themselves, at their own will. True freedom comes with extreme personal risk. Are you willing to take the risk?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21655976
The Tortuguero Monument 6 says when the completion of 13 baktuns occurs on 4 ahau 3 kankin, December 21 2012, "it" will occur - "it" will be the descent of the Bolon Yokte K'uh

The last page of the Dresden Codex depicts a flood issuing from the mouth of a serpent-type creature...Kukulcan

The books of Chilam Balam, state the return of the Aztec God Quetzalcoatl/Mayan God Kukulcan, the Feathered Serpent in kantun 4 ahau

Bolon Yokte is the Mayan God of War/Judgement

"But when the law of the katun has run its course, the God will bring about a great deluge again which will be the end of the world" - Chilam Balam

Our 5th Sun began 5,106 years ago and will end on December 21 2012, the God of Judgement Bolo Yokte will bring about a great deluge with the Serpent God Kukulcan/Quezalcoatl. The final page of the Dresden Codex shows that

So place your "never" where you will...the Mayans did in FACT correlate the end of their Calendar with the end of the 5th Sun, and the end of our world.

Its a galactic time chart , not a calender.

That most say shows the date DEC 21,2012 as the date of its complete line of completion.

Re: Mayans didn't account for leap year?
Firstly, the Maya didn't have a leap year for the reason that they were not attempting to keep exactly in step with the solar year. This has been well known ever since their calendars were first researched more than a century ago.

Secondly, the December 2012 date depends on the Long Count which is a count of days and is a different calendar from the approximately seasonal Haab.

Thirdly, it doesn't really matter whether any calendar is 'right' or 'wrong' or has been modified. What's important is that we know how it works and know the rules for arriving at a particular date.

At this point, it should be explained how the date of 21st December 2012 was deduced. The most widely accepted correlation between the Long Count and the Gregorian calendar is the Goodman-Martinez-Thompson (GMT) correlation which places the start of the Long Count as 11th August 3114 BCE in the Gregorian calendar.13

So we know when the Long Count began and how it counts forward. We know how the Gregorian calendar works and how many leap years it has. Thus we can count forward 13 baktuns of 144,000 days each, totalling 1,872,000 days, starting from 11th August 3114 BCE. Taking into account all leap years, we arrive at a date of 21st December 2012.

Re: Mayans didn't account for leap year?
I had a thread on this and the leap year was debunked. Mayans didn't say December 21st they gave a set amount of years and according to our calender it happens to fall on December 21st.
