The Vague Year or haab of 365 days is similar to our modern calendar, consisting of 18 months of 20 days each, with an unlucky five-day period at the end. The secular calendar of 365 days had to do primarily with the seasons and agriculture, and was based on the solar cycle. The 18 Maya months are known, in order, as: Pop, Uo, Zip, Zotz, Tzec, Xuc, Yaxkin, Mol, Chen, Yax, Zac, Ceh, Mac, Kankin, Maun, Pax, Kayab and Cumku. The unlucky five-day period was known as uayeb, and was considered an ominous time which could precipitate danger, death and bad luck.

It's totally plausible that there were highly advanced civilizations that have come and gone here on Earth, and it's sobering to think that some of these civilizations could have been wiped out in a matter of hours, if not minutes, by a natural catastrophe or cataclysm.

I'm sure it was a typo, but I had such a big laugh at that. What did you really mean though? Or, can you elaborate?
