[Aztlan] 13 Baktun or 20 Baktun.

[lahunik.62 at skynet.be]

One says that the counting began on 11 August 3114 BC, 

if one use the JDN 584283.

In fact this was the beginning of a cycle of 5200 tun, or 13 Baktun.

The first day began with the LC 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahau 8 Kumku.

In 2012 AD this cycle will end on the 20 December, 

with the LC of 12.19.19.17.19 3 Cauac 2 Kankin.

The next day a new cycle of 5200 tun will begun, 

with the LC of 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahau 3 Kankin.

In fact there is no 0.0.0.0.0 date as I often stumble across in many
Maya-literatures.

In fact it is an endless counting with no beginning and no end.

Was this really the way the Maya count the days?

For the longer count of a Baktun, didn't they use a Pictun (of 400X20=8000
tun),

a Calabtun (8000X20=160000 tun) and even a Alautun of 64 million ears?

But if they really used a Pictun, than you don't have to stop on the 13th
Baktun, 

but on the 20th Baktun.

Than cycles must not be organized in groups of 5200 tun, but in cycles of
8000 tun.

Than great cycles of 26000 tun is an invention of modern Mayanists?
