Yes and that something is a constellation ....
A baktum is 1/5th of our Great cycle...
OUr great cycle is 26.000 years
A Baktum is translated then in our understanding 5125.36 years
Now is i see it...
Our Great Cycle is 26.000 years
THose 26.000 years are divided into 12 constelalations (bodies in the sky and we refer to it as our zodiac signs)...
Imagine a Circle with you in the middle...the outer lines of the circle is divided in 12 zones which are the zodiac constellations)
You the earth....need 2100 years to complete 1 constellations....
So you can conclude out of this last bit that 26.000 (the circle) divided by 12 constellations is a period for us the earth of 2100 years to complete
on piece of the circle (Great cycle)
NOW this is in our language...
The mayans used Baktuns instead of years as we see it... baktun is 5125 years....
The mayans supposedly started making this calendar 3114 BC 11 august for us...and came to the same conclusion as other calendar makers...that the
Great cycle will end 2012 the Pisces Cycle....and we will enter into Aquarius constellation....
But thing is...it is really an end...i don;t know what happened 26000 years ago ...but this whole cycle will repeat itself
We counted counterclockwise....normally its aries, taurus, twins, cancer, LEO (10500 years ago)then virgo then libra then scorpio then sagitarius then
capricorn then Aquarius and then the END Pisces....but we counted the constellations counterclockwise as it is we are looking up and not from space
into earth...so the counting became....
Aquarius, capricorn then sagitarius then scorpio then libra then virgo then LEO (10.500 years ago) then cancer then twin then taurus then aries then
pisces...
all with a durance of 2160 years no matter what translation you use...
God i hope its a bit readable...sorry lol
