[Aztlan] 2012 and Pre-Columbian Calendars

[Sid Hollander]

In reference to comments made by Lahun Ik 62  ( Baert Georges) in response
to Lynda Manning-Schwartz
Lahun Ik 62 says:

"What are your certain facts?

1.      About 13.0.0.0.0.

Despite the common accepted rule, but this date is, in my opinion, not a
period ending but in fact a period beginning;"


I am sure Ms.  Manning-Schwartz can defend her self but I'd point out that
she said she was certain about certain 'facts' and should have meant she was
convinced of certain things.  Notwithstanding, I offer the following as a
response as to whether 13.0.0.0.0. is a period ending or begining:

If one assumes that it is neither a period ending or a period begining then
I maintain that there are no period endings or a period beginings by the
following logic.  If one thinks it is 'close'  to a period ending or a
period begining it is a certainty that neither the day before it or the day
after it is evenly divisible by 20 (i.e. no remainder when divided by 20) so
neither could be a period ending or a period begining!  So it must be a
period ending OR a period begining.  Since a period ending or a period
beginingmust be both divisible by 20 I am of the opinion that it is both.


You might want to revise this statement that you made:
Lahun Ik 62 further go on to say:

"One can convert the Julian dates to the Mesoamerican name-days by simply
adding the difference between the two calendars. The difference to be added
increases 1 day each century, because *the Gregorian Calendar does not
define years divisible by 100 as leap year..... "
*
(underline of last 13 words (if it shows) are mine.

The last portion is in error.  Should be 400. All other century ending years
are leap years.
