How about, has anyone done any research on the Mayan Calendar? I haven't but I heard a conversation last week regarding the last day of the year according to the Mayans. The conversation regarded our use of Feb. 29 every four years and that the timing was right for "Leap Millennium" a date that would reconcile the calendar and clocks to be exact once again. One of the guys commented that the Mayans only did the catchup based on a frequency that would match up with the movement of the earth. So, tonight at midnight around the world we will effectively have January 1, 2013 (M).

The discussion sounded plausible, but I've not done any research to try to determine why Dec. 21, 2012 was the last date recorded on their calendar. Could it be they just ran out of room on the big rock? Could it be their calculations were that that was the last day of the year 2012 for the catchup of time? Who knows, Tonight at midnight around the world we can either see the end of time or, and most likely we could celebrate the Mayan New Year.

The Mayan calendar has days, months, years, and MILLENIA or "ages" (we have the same but don't necessarily recognize them as "events").

The Mayan calendar effectively ends THIS "age" because the calendar is finite.

Tomorrow is the first day of the NEXT "age". It would have required them to create a calendar for that age, if their civilization would have survived.

Are there boobs in the next age? If not, I'm going to be pissed.

Probably none that look as good as those you posted! Mighty fine boobs!

So the Mayans world ended on the day they finished their the calendar? That explains why there are no more Mayan calendars? The calendar is finite? If time/the world goes on forever then the calendar would be infinite.

Not as awesome as you feel. Did my commentary not point to the end of an age, as you described it? I don't think of it as hilarious, I'd say that it's demeaning to all of the people that believed the end was at hand yesterday. Do the two of you tie this to the Second Coming of Christ? I sure hope not because that would slide your credibility pretty far down from the top rating.

Did you even read what was written? Are you having issues with the date because you actually ended today?

Yes I read what you wrote. To summarize, you asked if anyone had done any research on the Mayan calendar, and then said you'd heard a conversation somebody had about the date simply being wrong, and that sounded "Plausible" to you. That's facepalm logic at its finest, so I was trying to help you out.

I doubt, based on the few responses you've made to my posts, that you were trying to help me out. Seems out of character.

They made a 3,000 year calendar. Three thousand years. Compare that to the calendars we make that last one year. I'd say that their calendar was incredibly successful in comparison. Why did it stop? Because their civilization ended, they aren't around to make another one. Why did it stop today? Because it's the Winter Solstice. Pretty simple.

Yep, basically what I said earlier.

So how does that differ from the end of a millennium or age as shown by htis?
