Actually, I heard that the end of the Mayan 3rd had the great flood. The mayans are one of the other cultures in the world to have that written in the history and I am pretty sure that is what they said happened. Considering that Christianity, as well as many other cultures or religions have a story or written account of a horrible flood at about the same time, I would say that it is at least something to think about.

Considering a lot of ancient cultures and religions had a great flood in their lore, I'm sure the Mayans having one is not that remarkable.

Slippage between the 365-day year count and the actual year of 365.2422 days, measured by the annual course of the sun in the sky, did not seem to matter to the Maya. They did not on certain occasions add days to the year count, as we do with leap years to keep our holidays from sliding backward through the seasons. What if Christmas retreated into autumn or the Fourth of July backed up into the cold of winter? For reasons we will probably never know, the Maya seemed to place more emphasis on an unbroken chain of time, as they did with the tzolkin. They were different from us

The Maya used two primary calendars: The sacred year of 260 days called the Tzolkin and the civil year of 365 days called the Haab. These calendars ran simultaneously. Because of the difference in length, the combination of the two dates uniquely identified each day in a 52 year cycle. The entire cycle was called the Calendar Round.

It is likely that the Maya calendar did not originate with the Maya, but rather originated in a previous culture and that other cultures such as the Aztec in turn also derived their calendar from similar sources.2

The Calendar Round was sufficient for most uses, as its duration exceeded the life expectancy of the typical Maya. However, to reference the passage of time for more than 52 years, the Maya used a third calendar called the Long Count.

Steve30X, Mayans used a Lunar calender...no leap year.

Are you really going to put your faith on mayan calendar? The same mayan people who have sacrificed thousands of innocent girls.

I actually dont believe in the mayan prediction. When its our time to go its our time to go.
