It's like they gave them a set and costumes and told them to improvise a sketch. There is no way in hell a script was ever involved in this monstrosity.

The Mayan calendar actually ended before 2012 because it didn’t account for leap years daylight savings or anything like that.

That part aside I do agree that the real Mayan calendar was incomplete, because it ended in 2012.

[@jordanfry5138]

tenhlrankei it actually ust reset, it was the end of the long count, but that just began a new era. The whole ends in 2012 thing is a modern misunderstanding

[@LuisSoto-ho5fw]

Not really a calendar. The Aztec Sun Stone is a representation of the cosmos as they saw it. More like the fresco on the ceiling of the Sixtine Chapel.

[@ward9]

For any of you nerds out there, the reason the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 is because that's the procession of the equinox. Every 25,920 years the earth completes a full revolution of it's "wobble" meaning it tilts from one side to the other as it spins and circles the sun. This "tilt" will be exactly as it was at the same place as it was one time every 25,920 years. The Mayan's thought this would be a full cycle of a year because that's exactly where the earth was 25,920 years ago.

Yeah so that’s the wrong calendar, the Maya Empire fell long before the Aztec were around, and they didn’t do that much sacrificing-those were also the Aztec.

[@Kasino80]

Deirdre Replinger and they also didn't speak English or wear glasses

[@bucketheadkfc]

@Deirdre Replinger The Maya were still around when the Aztecs showed up. As far as the sacrificing goes, please search "Human sacrifice in Maya culture".

[@andymaritanu7420]

Mayans were famous for human sacrifice what are you on about

[@ixzaluoh8997]

Andy Maritanu Mayans did sacrifice a lot but on recent times they sacrifice a lot less than they did before but Aztec whoa they sacrifice like it’s no tomorrow
