Secret History
In a study published in the journal Ancient Mesoamerica, two Tulane University scholars highlighted how researchers never could quite explain the 819-day count calendar until they broadened their view.
"Although prior research has sought to show planetary connections for the 819-day count, its four-part, color-directional scheme is too short to fit well with the synodic periods of visible planets," the study authors write. "By increasing the calendar length to 20 periods of 819-days a pattern emerges in which the synodic periods of all the visible planets commensurate with station points in the larger 819-day calendar."
That means the Mayans took a 45-year view of planetary alignment and coded it into a calendar that has left modern scholars scratching their heads in wonder.
While ancient Mayan culture offered various calendar types, the one that baffled scholars the most was this 819-day calendar discovered in glyphic texts. Researchers have long believed this calendar was associated with planetary movements, especially the synodic periods — when a planet appears visually to return to the same location in the sky, as seen from Earth — of key planets. However, each planet moves quite differently and matching up multiple planets into an 819-day span didn't seem to make sense.
But it does when you look at it over 16,380 days (roughly 45 years), not just 819 days. That's a total of 20 819-day timelines.
Mercury was always the starting point for the tricky timeline because its synodic period — 117 days — matches nicely into 819. From there, though, we need to start extrapolating out the 819 number, and if you chart 20 cycles of 819, you can fit every key planet into the mix.
And Mars may be the kicker for the overall length. With a 780-day synodic period, 21 periods match exactly to 16,380, or 20 cycles of 819. Venus needs seven periods to match five 819-day counts, Saturn has 13 periods to fit with six 819-day counts, and Jupiter 39 periods to hit 19 819-counts.
"Rather than limit their focus to any one planet," the authors write, "the Maya astronomers who created the 819-day count envisioned it as a larger calendar system that could be used for predictions of all the visible planet's synod periods, as well as commensuration points with their cycles in the Tzolk'in and Calendar Round."

My thought. The psycho spiritual process of humanity can influence the world on which we live and have unimaginable consequences..

Firstly. They had a 13x52 calendar, that's a total of 676 years.
Secondly. It's not a calendar! It is a TIMER, counting down to "0" hour, therefore it is in the form of a circle. There is no such calendar in the world that would be a wheel
Thirdly. They did not make this calendar themselves, they received it as a gift.

I got the point the first time, but 5 times really? I think the writer was confounded.
Science, media, politics, all want you to micro focus on one word of a sentence, not the speach Or one piece of information, not the scientific paper. Or one emotion, not the common sense tried and true way things have been done for centuries. Because people figured it out centuries ago
Thats why its so easy to see through their lies. Step back and look at the whole picture. Doesnt matter what it is, all the narratives fall apart. Paper bags are bad for the environment, we need plastc bags. Play that out, down the road
Green energy tech and ev cars are safe for the environment and an viable alternative to fossile fuels. Um...no
If scientists base their "findings" and "discoveries" on faulty or incorrect or missing, made up information, how can any person with a modicum of intelligence believe "it" to be true?

Count Shooting Stars - Did you see that one??
This is the coldest Spring we have ever known in over 40 years together.
Very little is sparking into life as normal.
Even the daffodils look half dead before they smile.
The tulips, take one look, nah its not worth it this year, and give up and drop dead.
So far only seen one bee this year..its nearly May..they should be buzzing
All down to Global Warming???
Who are these brainwashed lunatics in control?

If the Romans were in Oak Island early, and Brazil, Yucatán visits make sense as well.
The Olmec have also always intrigued me.
They seem to have East Asian roots with other transoceanic visitors input as well.
Lidar tech has proven how so very little of these great ancient Western Hemisphere cultures, that are comparable in scale to the Mediterranean and Asian famous cultures , was actually known.
Archaeology and Anthropology are always adamant they have the story settled, and then are always proven drastically wrong.
I always enjoy watching them swallow their pride and admit to a rewrite😂
Well one has to laugh, after all, we are living in a clown world, and what is being presented as education these days
