"If Global Warming is made up, and the reason for making it up is so the worlds population does not panic, then i don't understand. The best way to make the world population not panic is to not make up a crisis."

Not the fact that is happening. "The reason WHY it is happening"

"The Mayans kept track of moon cycles which have a lot in common mathematically with motions of the Sun as well as other cosmic bodies. A common misconception is that the Mayans had some kind of mastery over solar cycles and knew things they couldn't have possibly known, but the truth is that they didn't know! The math of simple things like Moon cycles just has a lot in common with the math of larger cosmic cycles."

Mayan Astronomy
The Maya were quite accomplished astronomers. Their primary interest, in contrast to "western" astronomers, were Zenial Passages when the Sun crossed over the Maya latitudes. On an annual basis the sun travels to its summer solstice point, or the latitude of 23-1/3 degrees north.


"I'd love to see some of your evidence. "
For which point?


Most of the Maya cities were located south of this latitude, meaning that they could observe the sun directly overhead during the time that the sun was passing over their latitude. This happened twice a year, evenly spaced around the day of solstice.

i have been reading a book by Adrian Gilbert and Maurice cotterell titled the Mayan prophecies,published in 1995.Maurice cotterell has a chapter about the suns influences on the earth,i found it really interesting but will need to read it again to really take in what he is saying,by the same token i will need to re read all the book slowly as i as i just skimmed it first time.

like you i find all aspects of the sun and its aspects really interesting!!
especially the sunspots effects on the earth.

really hope more people get involved with this topic,as it would be great to get more insight into other peoples opinions......

You might change your opinion if you read what the Mayans themselves had to say on the subject. For one thing, they maintained several calendars...not just one.

Their "calendars" included a regular 360 day cycle (reformed in the Classical period as a 365 day cycle) as well as the formal 52 year cycle... which doesn't match the 12 year solar sunspot cycle. They also tracked Venus and the Moon and often timed raids and battles when Venus was in a certain phase.
en.wikipedia.org...

There's a lot that's known... from the Mayans themselves (who still exist) about their calendars.


The end date on the "doom and gloom disk" is the end of the 13 baktun cycle; from there it goes to the next disk of the "new" era,new cycle that no one talks about. Because frankly if they did no one would be making any money now would they....
The calendar isn't the end of the flipping world people it is the end of this age/cycle and the transition into the next. THAT IS ALL IT IS.
There is alot more than just one disk there are over 12 of them with a few that are broken or in bad shape due to time and the elements before they where recovered.
If you really want to know about it start looking it up; many of the people studying it have been releasing a lot of data on the Mayans as of late due to all the doom and gloom; the world is ending junk. They where actually an amazing culture that went through some very strange times as well as some obviously violent ones. But will leave all of that for you to look up and be amazed by...
