History and Myth of the Maya
In the history of ancient world civilizations, the Mayans are known to master knowledge of cosmography special and deep, dating system is perfect, an elaborate astronomical calculations and methods of abstract thinking that high. Perfection and accuracy of the calendar make people wonder.
This mysterious group of people who lived in southern Mexico today (Yucatan), Guatemala, northern Belize and western Honduras. Lots of pyramids, temples and ancient buildings built by the Maya who still can be found there. There are also many stone carvings and mysterious writings on the tables that they left behind.
The archaeologists believe that the Maya had a remarkable civilization. It can be seen from the legacy like his books, the tables of stone and the stories are mystical. But unfortunately their books in the library Mayan everything was burned by Spanish soldiers when attacked after the year 1517. Only a few papers on the tables and calendar system that confuses some remaining to this day.
An American historian, Dr. Jose Arguelles devoted himself to study the civilization of this nation. He studied the Mayan prophecy that was built on the foundation that created the nation's calendar, where such predictions are just like the way the calculation of China, Zhou Yi style. Calendar, an outline describing the law of celestial cycles and their relationship to human change.
In the work of Arguelles, The Mayan Factor: Path Beyong Technology, published by Bear & Company in 1973, mentioned in the Mayan calendar was noted that the galaxy of our solar system are experiencing 'The Great Cycle' (big cycle) with a maturity of five thousand two hundred years . The time from 3113 BC to 2012 AD In this great cycle, the solar system and the earth was moving through a galaxy light (Galatic Beam) derived from the galactic core. This horizontal beam diameter is 5125 years old earth. In other words, if the earth through the light and it will take 5125 years.
Mayan people believed that all celestial bodies in the galaxy after experiencing a reaction from the rays of the galaxy in this great cycle, there will be changes in total, the Mayas call it, the alignment of galaxies (Galatic Synchronization). Major cycle is divided into 13 stages, each stage of evolution also have a very detailed note (to the 13 stage I will explain later on). Arguelles in his book that uses lots of diagrams to tell the condition of evolution at every stage. Then each phase was subdivided into 20 days of evolution. Each time it will take about 20 years old.
