[Aztlan] Astronomical basis of Long-Count/2012

[Star Heart]

The recognizable "pattern" of one Jupiter/Saturn conjunction taking place in
successive katuns is "broken" after 10.3.19.2.15 (3.13.908 CE Julian). The
next katun 10.4.0.0.0 is without a conjunction! Please take note that this
is the time of the final documented historical use of the Long-Count on Maya
monuments!

The 10.3.19.2.15 (GMT 283) conjuction is also significant in that it took
place close to the position of the vernal equinox of that time period,
between the two fish of Pisces. It was a "return" to this position and a
completion of a 794+ years cycle. The previous Jupiter/Saturn conjunction
near the equinox position was circa 114 CE. If the first recorded Long-Count
was indeed circa 120, then this larger Jupiter/Saturn conjunction/equinox
cycle "frames" the entire historical use of the Long-Count by the Maya.

The next 794+ year conjunction/equinox cycle, starting from 908 CE concluded
with the conjunction of 12.4.4.16.1 (5.21.1702 Gregorian). This was a few
years after the final defeat of the Itza/Maya by the Spanish, thus "framing
the time period from the end of their use of the Long-Count to the end of
their independent "world".

The "break" in the one Jupiter/Saturn conjunction per katun pattern is
calculated to occur only after 140-katun, which equates with 7 baktun.
Notice how 20-baktun less 7 baktun = 13-BAKTUN!

10-4 that, good buddy.
