The Long Count is no more accurate than our own tally of years. It is merely a count from an arbitrary starting point. The haab, which is the Mayan
solar calendar, is actually less accurate then ours. It was only composed inf 365 days. It had no mechanism built in to account for the fact that a
year is actually slightly longer than 365 days. As a result, over time the months stopped matching up with the agricultural activities they were named
after.
As for the mass cleansing of the Earth, that only comes from a single source that was heavily influenced by Christian missionaries. As an example of
how ridiculous this claim were merely need to look at history. 13 baktuns is roughly the equivalent of 5,000 years. So, if we look back 5,000 years in
the Earth's history we should see mass extinctions on a global scale. However, there is no evidence of such an occurrence.
I could keep going (especially regarding Elenin) but I will end this with just a single question. What are the prophecies that show the Mayans
predicted the past 2000 years?
