Did you or any of your fellow Mayan calendar calculationists ever consider one itty-bitty fact: The moon was going through these various gyrations for millions of years before the Mayans ever noticed them.
Has anyone ever tracked the lunar cycles BACKWARDS in time to relate other auspicious events to the moon? Perhaps the dinosaurs all died off because it was a bad moon day? Did the eruption of vesuvius or the [irony] destruction of Atlantis [/irony] occur on days associated with the Mayan lunar calendar?
i calibrated it, looking at lunar cycles going backwards in time
-no, i wasn't looking for auspicious events when i did this
however, your question does pose some other interesting things to look for - thank you
My knowledge was related to knowing the ceremonial importance of
new and full moon dates, in relation to the tribal calendars utilized by
First Nations Tribes of Canada, Native American Tribes of The USA,
Aztec & Mayan Calendars, along with The Gaulish Coligny Lunar (moon) - Solar (sun) Calendars used by the old celtic & old druid lineages
and, how that may hold a key to in defining 'the time spans'
of full moon to full moon (or, new moon to new moon)
in relation to my equation of ancient years
9,360,360=5 cycles x 13 minor cycles x 144,000 days + (6 cycles x 360)
If you notice some of The Celtic People utilized charts that have 13 signs,
however, this is NOT traditional Celtic history...
so, lets talk about ancient times
when 360 days was the length of an ancient year,
which follows the moon aka lunar cycles, and,
also follows the sun aka solar cycles.
There was also a 9 cycles x 40 days = 360 days = An Ancient Year
which follows the light 'sun' or 'solar' cycles and the dark 'sun' or 'solar' cycles
- and, this can be aligned to The Ancient (360) Day Calendar
aka The Thirteen (13) Moon Calendar
aka The Six (6) Season Calendar of 6 seasons x 60 days = 360 Days = An Ancient Year
aka The Six (6) Event Calendar which follows the fire festivals
of Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane and Lughnasadh,
through the new moon, and, full moon cycles,
along with the important yearly alignments of The Solstice, and, The Equinox.
This ancient year, has NOW simply been modified
in approx 1582 AD to The Gregorian Calendar
which was introduced by Pope Gregory, which takes an ancient day
(which in truth, is NOT exactly 24 hours
- each day is a different length of time,
each day, has a slightly different sunrise, and, sunset)
and, The Gregorian Calendar is what adjusts it,
to the modern day civil calendar which has been in use, since 1582
by using the following formula to turn the 'real 'cosmic' time
into a tick-tock day
~ that fits perfectly into a into a 24 hr clock
which is an absolute requirement for making sure,
that a mechanical clock can be created with gears,
that can measure 12 hours, 720 minutes, and, 43,200 seconds in 12 hours
and, 24 hrs, 1420 minutes, and, 86,400 seconds in 24 hours.
The Actual "Cosmic" Time converted into Gregorian Time as follows:
Four (4) Gregorian Years = (360 + 5 = 365 x 3 regular years = 1095 days)
+ (360+5+1 = 366 days x 1 leap year = 366 days) = 1461 days
Back in 1984, in her 26th year, at age 25
Susan Lynne Schwenger discovered the connection
between The Gaulish Coligny Lunar (moon) - Solar (sun) Calendar
which dates back to approx 800 BCE
and, runs through a 26,000 ancient year cycle in 5200 cycles x 5 years
and, once every 104,000 ancient years - when earth enters an ice age.
This calendar was utilized by The Old Celtic - The Old Gaelic Irish,
The Neo-Pagan - The Pagan
- The Pict aka The Pictish and,
was adopted by The Modern Day Wicca or Wiccan People in the early 1920's
