NOSTRADAMUS 201210authors believe the reboot on that date of the 13-baktun cycle corresponds to a lineup at midnight (Greenwich Mean Time) of the Earth, Sun and the center of the MilkyWay Galaxy.There are even greater millennia-number crunching possibilities that approachthe astronomical. Pictun this: 20 baktun give one a count of 2,880,000 kin (days)8,000 tun (years) of 7,885 Gregorian (modern) calendar years in a Maya unit of timecalled a pictun.Try to calibrate time to the calabtun of 20 pictun of 57,600,000 kin (days),160,000 tun (years) equating 157,704 modern years.Now chill your overheating noggin musing on a kinchiltun of 20 calabtunequaling 3.2 million tun, or a spread of 416,162 rotations of the Earth around theSun in today’s mark of years.Hey, let’s go all the way with an alatun. It’s a kinchiltun multiplied by 20 givingyou 64 million tun! With that count, the Maya in modern calendar years refried beancounted us all the way back to the early Cenozoic Era, some 63,080,082 years ago.That’s around the time mammals managed to fill most of the evolutionary nichessurrendered by the dinosaurs after they were blown to bits, fried by a global fireballthen frozen by a winter shroud of smoke and dust, blocking out the Sun for years. A<strong>com</strong>et or some super-asteroid the size of Manhattan Island, about 6.2 miles, did it.Moreover, it just so happened to crash into what 65 million years later, became thesite of one of the homelands of the Maya, the Yucatán Peninsula.It’s an accepted fact whether one is a Mesoamerican anthropologist or a treehugging, head-shop crystal wand waving New Ager: the Maya and their ancestors,the Olmec, have fashioned in stone, upon their surviving monuments scattered acrossthe Yucatán Peninsula to the Guatemalan Highlands, the most accurate calculationof great tracks of time ever undertaken before the invention of <strong>com</strong>puters.In one respect, the Maya achieved even greater accuracy than <strong>com</strong>puters. Thebest efforts of <strong>com</strong>puterized time keeping using the Gregorian Calendar system stillhas to correct a flaw by adding one extra day every four years – a February 29 – ina “leap” year. The Maya system is so temporally buff that you’ll need a leap yearonce in 320,000 years.People partied, as the Prince song goes, “Like its 1999”. Rather than reveriesplanned in 31 December 1999, the sheer accuracy of the Mayan Calendar’s doomsdayparty time set for midnight 21 December 2012, tracking with all the apocalypticramp up of the last 12 years, makes it seem more significant as a date markingthe end of the world as we know it. It’s as if the other time clocks of other cultures
