OT 2012 myth

[Guest guest]

For thouse worried about December 21 or 23 2012, it is only the time when

the Long count wraps. It is like our Y2K. They actually had much bigger

cycles which have not wrapped:

 

1 pictun = 20 baktun = 2,880,000 days = approx. 7885 years

1 calabtun = 20 pictun = 57,600,000 days = approx. 158,000 years

1 kinchiltun = 20 calabtun = 1,152,000,000 days = approx. 3 million years

1 alautun = 20 kinchiltun = 23,040,000,000 days = approx. 63 million years
