Mayan Calendar Resources

Mow many times throughout the busy modern workaday world have you stopped to look for Mayan Calendar resources? It's a common problem experienced by all too many people throughout this Gregorian calendar-centered world in which we live.

Will the world end when the Mayan calender ends? Perhaps they just ran out of paper and the Office Depot was closed. It could happen. We have no Mayan photos of the Mayan chronological process. We can only speculate. And we will do just that.

Herein we present a cornucopia of Mayan Calendar resources. It's a Mayan Tour without leaving the house. Hopefully your modern workaday struggle will be somewhat lessened.

This well decorated site includes a countdown timer pointing at December 21, 2012, the date considered by many (excluding REM songwriter Michael Stipe ) as The End of the World As We Know It. if you don't feel so fine about that, soothe yourself by browsing the extensive collection of Mayan Calendar glyphs from Aj to Tzkin. Don't tarry over the Google Ads scattered about the home page; focus on the extensive collection of Mayan Calendar Resources.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012

The repository of all knowledge, Wikipedia, serves up a heaping helping of Mayan Calendar resources. They label this field of study "The 2012 Phenomenon."

December 2012 marks the ending of the current baktun cycle of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, which was used in what is now Central America prior to the arrival of Europeans. Though the Long Count was was most likely invented by the Olmec, it has become closely associated with the Maya civilization, whose classic period lasted from 250 to 900 AD.

That's quite a mouthful. Most of of simply want to know when the world is going to end. We have little interest in civilizations that were beaten up by Spanish Explorers on their home field.

When USAToday weighs in, we know the subject has become mainstream. In between 4 color pie charts and ads for ceramic space heaters , they found space to publish a thoughtful critique of the Mayan Calendar craze. They interviewed (well, phoned up) experienced scientists and pop culture icons to obtain bite-sized quotes fit to print.

Don't renew your subscription beyond 1/1/2013. Just in case.

Here we see dissension from the ranks of Mayan Calendar Resource madness. Channeling Tomas Paine's ghost, we learn that the Mayan Calendar is as useful as a presidential campaign promise. The linear progression of time is contrasted with the price of winter wheat in Des Moines to derive a quasi-dimensional hypercube modeling transient rifts in the fabric of space. Or something like that.
