Martin W Schellens

I am a Master of Arts in the Science of History (University of Leiden), specialized in Military History. In 2008 I have published an article on the origins of counterinsurgency in a Dutch journal called Leidschrift. Besides this main subject, I have always been interested in numerology and arithmetic of ancient civilisations, especially the Maya. I am currently working on papers which are focused on far distant past calculations that can be found at sites such as Quiriguá, Copán, and Tikal.

The far distance past Calendar Rounds 1 Ajaw 13 Mol and 1 Ajaw 13 Yax'kin (Quiriguá Stele F), and... more The far distance past Calendar Rounds 1 Ajaw 13 Mol and 1 Ajaw 13 Yax'kin (Quiriguá Stele F), and 7 Ajaw 3 Pop (Stele D) have always been a great mystery. In this article, the arithmetic is explained of how to calculate these dates from their base date in the current era, respectively 1 Ajaw 3 Sip (9.16.10.0.0) and 7 Ajaw 18 Pop (9.16.15.0.0) and how they can be placed in the Grand Long Count in the form of a replica date. The arithmetic consists of the famous 13 Bak'tun count which in sets of 13 traces the shift of 5 days of the month Wayeb' in the Haab' while maintaining the same number and day sign in the Tzolk'in. The formula (Q) deducted from this method is-y = 169x / 10. Furthermore, together with the Calendar Round (18,980) the 13 Bak'tun count generates a lowest common multiple, or a grander cycle of the Calendar Round, equal to 12,337 Bak'tun. This cycle incorporates multiples of the Dresden Codex Venus factor (9.9.16.0.0), Xultún C2 (2.7.9.0.0) and of 65 Bak'tun. The latter interval might be the reason for the presence of the 3-11 pih Ajaw glyph on Stele F. In the end, the glyph could also refer to this Grand Calendar Round Cycle, for each of the twenty sub cycles correlates with an interval of three Bak'tun, and there are eleven sub cycles between the base coefficients, 0 and 13.
