Honestly, you really are clueless...
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27971898 What is the most humorous? Clearly the fact that precession takes place is not at issue. What is at issue (and humorous) is the following: Precession is an ongoing phenomenon. Much like a wobbly wheel turning is space. THERE IS NO BEGINNING. Now, you can make up a beginning time, but it is as meaningless as the arbitrary initial point in time that I would make. Or the Mayans, or anyone. It is completely arbitrary as to what "time/date zero" is given. I disagree entirely. Say you are in the woods, and you decide to walk in a circle. Even if you are unsure where you started, you can use a compass to find magnetic north, and just use magnetic north as the completion point, and just start counting from there, everytime you pass it. So yes, although the Mayan calender, and the astronomical procession of the equinoxes don't assume to know what position the earth was in (the wobble was in) when everything started (The planet started), you CAN have certain reference points, and use THESE reference points to calculate how many cycles you'ev been there, and how far in a cycle you are in. [ link to en.wikipedia.org] For more information on the precession of the equinoxes.
