[Aztlan] FAQ on 2012, 13/20 Baktuns, Zero etc.

[ECOLING at aol.com]

A set of web pages is now available which brings together much of the 
material from recent discussions of these topics:

The first group, now available, includes:
How the Mayan Calendar works across the 4 Ajaw 8 Kumk'u Era Date
      (this topic is on the lower part of the first page, the last URL below)
Notations 13.0.0.0.0 (era date 4 Ajaw 8 Kumk'u   3114 BCE 
      vs. 4 Ajaw 3 Uniw   2012 CE)
20 vs. 13 Baktuns in a Pictun // 
      Metaphorical uses of "13" and long strings of "13"s
Distance numbers which cross the Era Date
Distinct concepts of zero

Future additions will include:
World Ages in Mesoamerica more generally
Graph of planet movements around Winter Solstice 2012
Celebrations of period endings vs. when those are merely a time frame
Matching Maya dates with equivalent European dates
     (the "correlation constant")

You can access these as item 8. Maya Math & World Ages from the list at
www.TraditionalHighCultures.com/Mayan_Downloads.html

or directly at
www.TraditionalHighCultures.com/MayaMath&WorldAges.html

Please do contribute any corrections or additional examples which
need to be added to lists of occurrences.   There is a list of credits
to those who contributed to the material which is here posted,
and that list will be expanded.

Best wishes,
