make a video on Sadhguru he claims to be an enlightend being(which he is) you can ask him any question you have. till date he has a answer for every question even scientist are baffeled by his knowledge he also talks about our gods having an alien origin

[@me_and_me_]

it's just an story(imagination) channel, but not an History channel, because you need to prove these theories of yours, to then say that you are telling an factual history

[@spliffmaticdgz]

Mr Jurawan huh I just looked up Sadhguru & he has no idea what he’s talking bout on the subject of Aliens, I mean he sounds intelligent but he’s wrong.

[@Ajzgut]

Or was it just Our ancester fantasy 🤣🤣 Why make this video and end with that stupid ending....

[@ibetternotseeyousimp556]

The Mayan Calendar NEVER stated that the world was gonna end in 2012. Just the end of an Era and the beginning of a new one

[@tonybinda6905]

Ok I agree with that.

[@tonybinda6905]

Im back. The end of an era for sure mathematically they figured the earth would reach this point just as there culture could only sustain so many on a certain amount of square kilometers.

Mayan culture is simply one of the best of all mankind. Its a shame the Spanish had burned so many of their books and documents. Who know what more we could have uncovered.

[@NoahsMissus]

@Victor Torres That sentence fragment made no sense.

[@deelococ]

In Mexico deep in the jungles there is still tribe's who talk about old stories that their ancestors taught them..my grandma is now 75 and she talks to me about spirits roaming the lands were the Mayans and Aztecs vanished or died... It's crazy artifacts are still being uncovered by people who live there

[@kennastout7621]

I can relate 👌

[@carlosantuckwell]

Their 360-day-in-a-year calendar (along with other ancient cultures having it) strongly suggests to me that Earth did only take 360 days to orbit the Sun (whether because it was a bit closer and/or that the Earth turned slower on its axis). This would account for the ancient tradition we have inherited of dividing a circle into 360 degrees. Otherwise, what a weird 'random' number to choose. They other thing about heavenly 'clockwork' is the fact that the female human cycle is the same as the time it takes for the Moon to go once round the Earth. Why should that be so? If it's some tidal effect, then why don't all similar-sized female mammals have it? They have a YEARLY cycle -- they only "come into heat" once a year, but the female human cycle is the same as the orbital period of the Moon around the Earth. Don't tell me that's mere coincidence.

[@OfficialDenzy]

Egypt had a 365 day year?

[@carlos-ej3sv]

Very interesting

[@johnfullwood1095]

Everyday we move closer to the golden age. Thats all they were saying. , I’m still wondering why they never show the pyramid in Central America with the steps humans have to jump & climb up. The steps were built for giants. I was there in 1972, still see no pics or anything on this place. Like they don’t want anyone to know about it. It’s located in Honduras / El Salvador border , 63 miles north of Arendiki Honduras. Cala casca , opal all over the place!!Best stone work ., I still have the jelly opal from that site. Different than white or black opal but is clear with all the color.

[@WALDENSOFTWARE]

There is no such "Arendiki" in Honduras, and even if there was, the El Salvador border is to the south, but you claim this is 63 miles North? Maybe you were in a space time continuum.

[@diegolopez000]

Cuzcatan “1972” the map was a little different

[@isahere7015]

I’m a skeptic about just about everything, and so I do question how each ancient civilisation came up with gods or a god, and mythology? Did these ideas spark from some delusional person who decided they one day wanted to randomly tell everyone that they saw these 'beings', and everyone just randomly believed them? Or did the first people create a recollection of their actual experiences? That’s one of the greatest mysteries that we won’t be able to know the answer to for sure. Scientists predict that everything came from nothing, and to be honest that would make sense, because even if these beings did exist, they would have had to of come from nowhere too. It’s just hard to comprehend the beginning of everything, and this video where it mentioned how these people were believed to have marked their idea of how they begun got me thinking

[@isahere7015]

@Jay Lion true. If we don't know all the answers naturally, then our existence isn't dependant on our knowledge of these things in our everyday life. It's just the curiosity will always remain

[@kz6713]

Well some structures are just a mystery, such as the pyramids of Teotihuacan, many natives in Mexico said the pyramids we're there since before anyone came. It's a mystery who built them. I think it was aliens

[@hoodman6142]

this was so cool

[@sandeepsule2997]

they should compare it with hindu traditional calender which has 360 days and the difference of 5 days due to earth rotation period is adjusted periodically adding one month

[@mikmowmil]

Some historians say the calendars predate the Mayas, it existed during the times of the Olmecs.

[@Happy_HIbiscus]

Dude, this is cool

[@mcdude9578]

"why did they create it?" lolol

[@313-Badr]

This channel is addictive

[@Greywolf-mv1hx]

Could this be an answer to fix leap year, ancient theorists say yes!

[@n124ac9]

0:21: That calendar has 9 months which closely matches the average gestation period.

[@alveera3610]

Awesome video!! These sophisticated calendars might also represent some kind of Stargate doorways to other galaxy civilizations! More translations & investigations needed! Kool ytube channel!

[@snowman2353]

The 13 represents the cycle of one day not a whole year. We have 24 hours in a day but when it hits 12 am it’s technically a 0 which represents nothing

[@ledihealinghandsholidaythe3240]

Not nothing but beginning 0 is before 1 abd after 9 but that's not something i can get all in text .

[@n124ac9]

1:17: *”The Gregorian Calendar is a lunisolar calendar”* Me: That is a solar calendar, not a lunisolar calendar since it only keeps track of the Sun.

Maybe the mayans got dyslexic and meant to end the calendar at 2021, not 2012

[@ok-ic5vq]

Yeah but they said they were 8 years off. So 2020 is actually 2012 maybe

It was the Catholic Church that made people believe that. The Roman Catholic Church rules the world, your mind, your body and your conscious. If you operate your psyche by Gregorian calender, they own you.
