Mayan ruin shows dates beyond December 21, 2012

While searching Mayan ruins in Guatemala, Archeologists have found mathematical calculations on the walls of a room showing dates into the future beyond the December 21, 2012 date. Therefore, the Mayan Long Count Calendar does not end on December 21, 2012.

Astronomical records were key to the Mayan calendar, which has received attention recently because of doomsday warnings that it predicts the end of the world this December. Experts say the calendar makes no such prediction. The new finding provides a bit of backup: the calculations include a time span longer than 6,000 years, meaning it could extend well beyond 2012.

Mayans never thought the world would end in 2012, new research shows

I feel happy to see this since it will add to the two Mayan Long Count Calendar dates I already know about that are beyond the December 21, 2012 date, which I will be presenting in Toronto on Thursday, May 31 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Alternative Thinking on 758 Bathurst St.
