I suspected that this hoax was the work of Calleman and Lungold.

Indeed you have, and apparently this skeptic will have to remain skeptical.
So first it was a horribly wrong (but forgivable) conflation of science and general standards of evidence and reason. Now you deliberately poison the well by throwing cynicism into the mix? Not that cynicism can't have its uses, but that's just a shameful irrelevancy.
If you take the last 2 numbers of the year your were born plus your age you will be in 2011 you will find that this will equal 111.
Also remember the luminous mysteries in the bible?
But the initial layer is 16.4 billion years (life of the universe, anyone?).

There is plenty of reason and evidence out there to persuade a true skeptic.
Its the pathological pseudo-skeptics that can't be persuaded and have to remain "skeptical".
Not really. Cynicism is a strong element in skeptic circles. Granted there might be a few skeptics out there who, upon closer examination, would reveal a minimal amount of cynicism in their hearts. But I doubt there are many such skeptics around here.
Cynicism and disbelief are psi-inhibitive.
Love is not.
If a "skeptic" is to have any chance of being in tune with the 'new consciousness' then he or she must take a leap of faith to be in a psi-conducive state of mind.

Because you can't provide evidence in support of your claims.

We've been over the hoaxes made up by these 2 in many threads. There are all sorts of discussions here in the 2012 thread about how their claims are not true. As Xcalibur254 suggested do a little looking around ATS and learn how their claims are false.

The universe is only 13.7 billion years old. This is the first date failure offered by Calleman and Lungold.
2012: Calleman's purposeful
2012 : Calleman's contradictions
2012: Calleman's correlation
Here is an authority on the Mayans, which Calleman is not, who discusses the glaring faults in Calleman's claims.

Ah. Missed this post. I will look into this. But FYI... WE DON'T KNOW THE ACTUAL AGE OF THE UNIVERSE. I have heard, though the years, 8 billion, 10 billion, 13.7 billion, 14.5 billion, and 18 billion - all based on various calculations using various observations and assumptions. But they all seem to run in the 16.4 billion ballpark.

Calleman is perpetrating a hoax. He has spent quite a bit of time researching or so he claims. Therefore he should know that his so-called interpretations of Mayan writings are not supported by anyone other than himself. In fact, his interpretations fly in the face of the knowledge we have of the Mayans. For example, he talks about a time of mammals and galaxies. Where in any Mayan writings does it suggest that the Maya knew of galaxies and where does it suggest that the Maya used Western taxonomy? He is either a really, really bad researcher or he knows that his claims are false. Calleman is simply stripping money from the gullible.

Don't mix and match different estimates made over time. The current estimate of the age of universe is going to be more precise than say an estimate in the 1960s. The reason for that of course is better instruments and more launch vehicles in space above the Earth's atmosphere.
The age of the universe is 3.7 billion years, which is plus or minus 0.13 billion years.
Age of the Universe
Just the 13.1 billion value suggests 3 digits of precision. So the error in 16.4 billion years is very close to 20%. That's a whopping error for the Mayans seeing that they are so often claimed to be so much more amazing than we are by the New Age hoaxers.
That is just one failure for Calleman. All of the other ages are failures too. The length of time of human existence, and mammal existence, and multicellular life are all wrong as well.

Oh, don't play coy, dear Student. That you can distinguish truth from falsehood via love, the humanities and mysticism, sans "The Hammer," of course.
Your more recent references to "new consciousness" are so-called "psi" phenomena are million-dollar claims.
In fact, looking at the graph kinda proves the point. On the turning to the "7th day" of the "galactic underworld cycle", we see the date as Nov 3rd, 2010...When did the ruckus about the TSA patdowns and body scanners pick up in earnest? When did the hoop-la about the wikileaks cables start? Seems consciousness did, in fact, make a small but definite shift toward greater emphasis on "ethics" at that point.
