I need to know the true and accurate meaning and dates for the various
"suns"  as predicted in the Mayan astronomy.   Some say the sixth "sun"
was the precise day of the 1991  full eclipse of the sun over central
Mexico.   Some apparently don't associate the term with eclipse, some say
we are supposed to be in the general time frame of the 5th "sun".   So
far,  and digging for accurate information is slower than in any field
that I have entered,  I tend to accept the eclipse explanation because
the dates seem to be amazingly accurate and the association
unmistakable.  But a professional opinion and maybe a good reference
source would be very much appreciated.
