THE REAL MAYAN DATE IS DEC 23RD 2012

The Mayans weren't wrong. The non Mayans that came up with an erroneous correlation were wrong and they were wrong about the predictions that they invented and attributed to the Mayas in order to sell books and survival gear.

The correlation is wrong. The cycle ended in 1988.

The start date of the cycle is written in many places as 4 ahau 8 cumkhu. The end date is written as 4 ahau 3 kankin.

A day named 4 ahau occurs every 260 days, but if you pair the day name with the month (3 kankin means the 4th day of the month of kankin, which is a 20 day cycle that corresponds to early April). A day called 4 ahau 3 kankin can only happen once every 52 years. The Mayans weren't stupid. They were dependent on agriculture, so they needed a calendar that would guide them about when it would rain, when to plant the corn, when to harvest. A calendar where a date in April ends up in December wouldn't work for them. An obvious error in correlation to the present day calendar.

Secondly, we know that when Cortes arrived, the year was 1519. The only reason the Aztecs allowed him to land instead of ripping his heart out was because this was the year that their old prophecies stated that Quetzalcoatl would return. They thought he might be their god returning. Bad mistake.

For the Mayas, the year was One Ben. Every 52 years there is a year called One Ben, and the next year, Two Etznab is the only year in the calendar cycle where a day called 4 ahau 3 kankin can occur. So, by simple logic the end date has to occur in a year with this name, which would be 1520, 1572,1624, 1676, 1728, 1780, 1832, 1884, 1936, 1988, etc. A day with that name can never occur in 2012 or in December.

The calendar cycle ended in April 1988. If it didn't, we would have another 52 years before it could happen again.

I really hate that a very bad correlation has been adopted without question by everyone and all sorts of imaginings that have nothing to do with Mayan thought and philosophy have taken hold, and now that the wrong end date has come and gone with no event people will say the Mayas were wrong.

David Stuart, considered a Mayan expert, contends that the table clearly shows that the Mayan calendar does not end on December 21 (or Dec 23 depending on the interpretation) and that that calendar goes on for at least another 4,784 days or 13 years, which is the Mayan moon cycle.

Better get a chevy
