Open Coalition ID

[Slartibartfast]

Actually, since Caesar put in the "leap year" somewhere around 45 BC if Im not mistaken, there have been, up to this date, around 514 leap years. Without the extra day every four years, we would already be in 2013. The Mayan calendar did not account for the leap year, so technically, the world should have ended some ~8 months ago.

Igor.

Don't tell me you believe that Mayans didn't know Summer from Winter. That whole idea suggests they were using a calendar similar to the Gregorian/Julian one. Which is, of course, far from the truth. Nevermind their knowledge of solstices (one of which pretty much corresponds to our new year) which makes counting years quite simple indeed.

And that whole Mayan theory is based on so many assumptions... AFAIK, Mayans simply believed in a sort of World Transition which some people (in accordance to Christian traditions of the Time of Reckoning) translated to their vision of the end of the world. So all Mayans really said was that the world would change in some fundamental way around then.





I think.


EDIT: none of which has anything to do with the open Coalition ID, of course. Best of luck with that.
