THE MAYA CODE PART 1
The myth of the legendary year 2012 attends us for quite a while now and we automatically come to think about the Mayans.
We all know the prophecies from their calendar, according to it the 21st of december 2012 marks the end of our time, when the Sun enters the Capricorn cycle in the winter Solstice (following our known astrology). On top of this constellation other planets join the Sun and the galactic centre on one axis.
The Mayans were part of the Mesoamerican tribes, just like the Aztecs and the Toltecs in the actual Mexico and the Incas in the modern Peru. In their anthesis, between the 3rd and 9th century, the Mayans developed a script including their knowledge in mathematics and astronomy, just as their decline started in the 16th century with the landing of Hernan Cortez on the 21st of april 1519. In the following 52 years the Mayans went through the ‘nine hells‘ and genocide and plundering were the consequences. Unfortunately almost all copies of the famous ‘Kodizes’ were destroyed by the spanish conquerers, despite four copies including the ‘Dresdner Kodex‘ which contains, apart from valuable astronomic calculations, exact details about special dates and events to come. The Mayans based their knowledge on the orbit of the Sun and its planets, as well on Venus, fixed stars and their constellations, especially Sirius in the Orion Belt and the Pleiades. The result made it possible for them to count on a calendar to introduce their religious celebrations and the times of harvest. This is similar to the Sumerians or Mesopotamians, despite that those two tribes had this knowledge thousands of years earlier.
The Mayans used the ‘Vigesimalsystem‘ or the ‘System of 20′, being the number ’20’ what to us today is the number ’10’. This number corresponds to one dot, the ‘5’ to one line and the ‘0’ to a small ellipse. One interesting detail is that the Arabs introduced the number ‘0’ to our culture in the middle age while the Mayans used it way before us. Their calculations are more exact than ours, the error rate of our gregorian calendar was 0,0003 days per year, theirs was 0,0002 days.
How was it possible for them to calculate the movement of stars over a range of thousands of years into the past and the future? They used 17 different calendars to arrange their seasons and cycles, some of them stretching over a period of several million years. Apart from the ‘Tzolkin‘ calendar (based on the cycle of the Pleiades containing 13 periods of 20 days each, makes a total of 260 days) which was mainly used for religious purposes they used the ‘Haab‘ calendar which served to calculate the harvest cycles. Haab is a sun calendar (Inkas, Toltecs and Aztecs also worshipped the sun) and is based on 365 days, divided in 18 months of 20 days, adding 5 ‘cursed’ days. 52 years with 365 correspond to 73 years with 260 days. The combination of both calendars resulted in the holy cycle of 52 years. On top of that they used other, longer lasting cycles – e.g. the ‘Hablatun‘ incorporates fabulous 1,26 billion years! To decode this calendar to be able to use it in our modern time it is required studying many years as it gets rather complicated… The actual ‘longer’ cycle started on December 13th 3114 b.C. and is to end 5125 years later, which brings us to our date of December 21st 2012. What makes this date so special for the Mayans is that the ‘shorter’ cycle of 13 years of which the last started on the 21st of december 1999, ends as well on the exact same day. Some scientists speak of the entry in a new age, a ‘Golden Age‘, in a new dimension coming with a different, higher collective consciousness.
The most reknown pyramid of the Mayas – Chichén Itzá:
“The anthropologists are reading the terms and inscriptions in the holy temples but they are not able to interpret them in the right way“, comments Maya expert Carlos Barrios from Guatemala the recent discussions about the Apocalypse. Even the Mayans themselves are unhappy with the interpretations, because the world will not end but ‘transformed’. He goes on saying “the world will enter in a new phase after the 9 periods of ‘nine hells’ (we do remember 52 years x 9 = 468 years later) with the year 1987, a period of transformation where the materialistic world disappears step by step. Mankind will become aware of the world’s energy problem, the destruction of our environment, the dearths and wars. There are great changes to come and everything will be transformed.” “All those facts were reported by the Mayans” he says and adds “The Guardians of Time within the Mayans see the 21st of December 2012 as the date of rebirth, the beginning of the world of the 5th sun. It will be the start of a new age with the alignment of our pole axis to the centre of our Galaxy.“
