Description

The Mayan calendar, properly called the Long Count, is a kind of mundane astrology that developed in Mesoamerica some 2 to 3 thousand years ago. The use and implications of this calendar have been distorted over the past decade by a large number of self-appointed, non-native prophets. In this talk I will outline the astrological system of the Maya as I understand it, look at the only written Maya prophecies which are found in the Short Count, and consider carefully the meaning and implications of 12/21/2012 in context of the Long Count.
