NEW LOOK AT THE MODERN CODIFICATION OF THE MAYAN CALENDAR (full text) (original) (raw)
Mayan calendar analysis is quite impressive and greatly exceeds what many scholars and professors alike currently believe. I am particularly impressed with the alternative numerical relations, and he clearly appreciates the importance of the 364d sidereal ecliptic partitioning". Abstract This document first introduces the Mayan calendar and then explains new ideas about the Mayan calendar that may have appeared in a missing codex. These ideas are influenced by a similar calendar used in central Asia and obtained through the oral tradition of Kazakh nomads. This calendar which uses a 273-day cycle instead of a 260-day cycle is explained in detail. This gives rise to the idea that the Mayan calendar had a 364-day cycle and this idea is explored in detail. In particular the idea that the Mayan long count used multiples of 364 days instead of 360 days is explored with respect to astronomical events. In particular, the author codifies the Mayan calendar with the help of "amal", consisting of 9.1 days (for Kazakhs) and 18.2 days (for Maya), which are divided into 273 and 364 days without a remainder. From the set of equations given in this document, one can see the close relationship of the Mayan calendar with the sidereal and synodic rotations of the planet of the solar system, the eclipses of the Moon and the Sun, and also the coverings (occultation) of the Pleiades by the Moon. Personal introduction I do not speak or write in English. This is my main flaw. There was a little doubt that the translators accurately translated my words and thoughts first from Kazakh into Russian, and then into English. Therefore, I apologize in advance to the readers for the incorrectly translated expressions, as well as for ambiguous words, which I wanted to express in another way. Nevertheless, I believe that the topic of the article is quite interesting and excites many people, especially those who are engaged in studying the Mayan calendar. I always expected that one of the world-renowned scientists would write on this topic as I had assumed about Mayan calendars. But, the years go one by one, but no one has written about it. But I forced myself to drop all fears aside and take a pen and write it myself. I write this article in the hope that at least someone will pay attention to it. Arguing about the mistakes made deep in the roots of the study of the Mayan calendar, which began more than a century ago, I think so: There is nothing so good that there were no mistakes in it. After all, without errors we will never know the truth... MODERN CODIFICATION OF THE MAYAN CALENDAR Quotation on the topic: The famous astrologer John Dee used an Aztec obsidian mirror to see into the future. We may look down our noses at his ideas, but one may be sure that in outlook he was far closer to a Maya priest astronomer than is an astronomer of our century. J. Eric S.
