THE MAYAN CALENDER
To see how the information was landed at, it is important to take a gander at the Mayan dating framework. The stature of the Mayan traditional period can be said to date from 300 - 900 AD. Amid this period, they prospered in their human advancement. In their way of life, religion, theory, Science, Astronomy and prediction were all interwoven together. The Mayans have more than seventeen diverse timetables taking into account the inquires about, however just a couple survived the conquistadors. Some of them goes back to a huge number of years and can't be decoded. Be that as it may, out of the ones that survive, we can just discuss a two critical ones.
The first is what is known as the Haab cycle. This schedule is totally earth based. This comprises of eighteen months of twenty days each. That gives us 360 days year. The nineteenth months is just five days and as indicated by a few researchers, are viewed as five stately days, which they called Vayeb. The American analyst Jose Arguelles assigned July 26 every year as the Mayan New Year, which is presumably partitioned into July 21 as the end of the year and five celebration days.
The second is the typical moon date-book of 28 days month. It comprises of 13 lunar cycles - adjusted nearly to our present day Gregorian schedule. Out of these two cycles, the Haab cycle is utilized for stately occasions. July 21 is consequently their new year or the infinite defining moment for them every year. It is through this that the well known Mayan long check called the Tzolkin, radiated from. This tally is utilized for stately and custom occasions. It depends on the galactic development of the heavenly body Pleiades in the universe, in connection to the earth.
It ought to be noticed that the Mayans built up an arrangement of cosmology not subject to our cutting edge types of gear but rather instinct based, henceforth, there were things that were taken up and known as is normally done by the Mayans which our own learned researchers are at a misfortune to comprehend and translate. Their straightforward nature made them environment amicable.. In this way theconstellation Pleiades " was called T'zab, which interpreted means the tail of a poisonous snake. The upheaval of our sun, the focal point of our framework, round the Pleiades' is known cosmically to be 25,770 yrs. The turn is given as a cycle of 260 days. From the Mayans, their hallowed numbers are 13, 18 and 20. Thus, 260 days is given as 13 x 20 days, which relates to the nine - month's growth time of the person. Some other little occurrences exist. For instance, there are 13 lunar cycles, 20 amino acids in the DNA, and 260 distinct cells in the body.
The Mayans timetable has days which they called kinfolk, twenty days make one month (Ulinal), 13 months make one year (Tun) a quarter century one K' atoon, which is 7200 days, and20 k' atuns make 144,000 days.(Are these numbers natural?). 144,000 days is known as a Baktun.
Mapping with advanced timetable
How would we now relate the Mayan timetable with the Gregorian logbook? This was correctly the inquiry that Mayan researchers sort to reply. In 1992, the college of Guatemala, after thorough exploration thought of utilizing a typical mysterious occasion. For this they picked the overshadowing of the sun that happened in July1, 1991. This was anticipated utilizing the timetable of the Mayans. In spite of the fact that the forecast was not especially precise, it gave a premise for the alignment of the long number utilizing the Gregorian timetable. It was off by eleven days. Utilizing the Dresden codex, they decided the beginning stage of the long consider Wednesday, 13 August 3114BC and the end date as Dec. 21, 2012 AD.
There have been different endeavors at mapping, however the all around acknowledged one is the one of the University of Guatemala, by and large alluded to as G.M.T. This stands for Goodman, Martinez, Hernandez, the specialists headed by Eric Thompson.
