The December 21, 2012 Mayan prophecy names 3 dates in 3 Mayan calendars

As I said yesterday, this is the great epigrapher David Stuart‘s translation of the one and only 2012 prophecy in the Mayan glyphs:

“The Thirteenth ‘Bak’tun” will be finished
(on) Four Ajaw, the Third of Uniiw (K’ank’in).
? will occur.
(It will be) the descent(??) of the Nine Support? God(s) to the ?”

There are three Mayan calendar days in that prophecy:

1. A “Bak’tun” refers to a date in the Long Count Calendar.

2. An “Ajaw” refers to a date in the Tzolk’in Calendar, on the day called Ajaw

3. An “Uniiw” (or “K’ank”in”) refers to a date in the Haab Calendar during the month of Uniiw

That may sound complicated, but, if you were to look at our calendrical system, you could see that we do the same kind of organizing of our days. For example, today is:

Day 274 in the Year Long Calendar
Day 1 in the Month Long Calendar, this month called October
Day 6 in the Week Long Calendar, this day of the week called Saturday
