The name of the calendar used by the Mayans does not prove that their calendar is not the so-called "Earth Time". With naked eyes, the Mayans can only see the brightest celestial bodies in the night sky, including Venus, the moon and the sun, so the formulation of their calendars is related to the operating rules of these celestial bodies observed on the earth.
The divine calendar is a calendar with a period of 260 days and is the oldest calendar in the American continent. A calendar composed of 20 images and numbers from 1 to 13, with a period of 260 days, which is similar to the heavenly stems and earthly branches chronology in China and summarized according to the running law of Venus observed by naked eyes;
The solar calendar is summarized according to natural laws such as seasonal changes, and is used to guide agricultural production. A year is divided into 18 months, with 20 days each month, plus 5 days of death each year, totaling 365 days. Combined with other calendars, the length of a year is revised to 365.438+029 days according to the operation of celestial bodies, which is very close to the solar year calculated by modern science.
The relationship between the solar calendar and the solar calendar is 365x52=260x73, and the solar calendar goes through 52 cycles, which is equal to 73 cycles of the solar calendar. Based on this, the Mayans made a long calendar, also based on 20, and entered the first order every 20 days. There are 9 calendar levels in total, and all the days can be recorded separately.
The cooperation of the three forms a complex calendar system, which the Mayans used to record important events of their own nation and also to guide agricultural production, and also showed their accurate astronomical knowledge and mathematical deduction ability, which was really remarkable in ancient times. But not only the ancient Mayans made accurate calendars, but also the calendars such as the lunar calendar summarized in ancient China were quite accurate, of course, based on the seasonal changes and celestial movement, and the ancient mathematics in China was also very powerful. The monk and his party deduced the meridian length, and Zu Chongzhi accurately calculated the pi (ancestral rate).
Therefore, it is unreasonable for some articles to deify Maya infinitely. Judging from the relics, it seems that the Mayans were even in the Neolithic Age. Although they have high construction technology, they don't have metal tools or even invented wheels. They guide agricultural production, sacrifice and war just like observing the sky and surveying the earth. The development of Mayan civilization is not very healthy. Some archaeologists speculate that the extinction of the Mayans is related to the fact that most people want to make material production for a few nobles who sit on a high platform and have all the power to kill.
Maya created splendid Mayan civilization, but they also made calendars by observing the movements of celestial bodies, just like other ancient civilizations on earth. The Mayans are not from the alien world, they originated from the earth, and the time they spent has nothing to do with the planets outside the solar system.
Although the Mayans did not have modern science and technology, their astronomy was surprisingly developed. The Mayans knew that the time (solar year) for the earth to revolve around the sun was 365.242 days, which was only 17.3 seconds short of the modern known solar year. In addition, the Mayans also knew the exact rendezvous period between period of revolution and Venus.
The origin of the Mayan calendar can be traced back to 500 BC, and it consists of the divine calendar (Zalkin calendar), the solar calendar (Habu calendar) and the long calendar.
In the divine calendar, a year is divided into 260 days, consisting of 20 days and 13 days, just like the combination of 10 days and 12 earthly branches in China. This calendar is usually used for sacrifice and divination. The Mayans used decimal system, and 13 was a sacred number in Mayan civilization, so there was a divine calendar.
The Mayans knew the exact time of the solar year. They don't divide a year into 12 months, but 19 months. Because the Mayans used to use the decimal system, a month in the Mayan solar calendar was 20 days, which made1September only a little more than 5 days.
Besides the solar calendar and the divine calendar, the Mayans also used long calendars. In this calendar, the time span is very long. For example, the time of 1 Atodun is equivalent to 63.08 million years. According to Mayan civilization, the long calendar began in 311August 4 13 BC.
In a word, the calendar of Mayan civilization is different from other civilizations, but there are also similarities. Anyway, the Mayan calendar is not an alien calendar, but is based on the celestial movement in the solar system and the binary system in Mayan civilization. Other civilizations also have their own unique calendars, so there is no need to over-interpret them.
Maya are a group of fans. They have many technologies that are beyond the same period, but they have never launched a war of aggression. They disappeared magically after being invaded. Some people say that the Mayans are descendants of aliens, because they have advanced astronomical knowledge that was impossible to know at that time, they can write very accurate calendars, and they can know planets that were unknown to humans at that time. These technologies make many people believe that Maya will never be born and raised on the earth! But really, as the subject said, the time Maya spent on the earth was not Earth time?
In fact, the Mayans are a nation that has been mythologized by us. In essence, the Mayans were not a single people, but many tribes formed a Mayan civilization. Every tribe has a certain contribution to the Mayan civilization, but because the Mayans don't like us in China, they like to record history, so the Mayan civilization is out of touch, and we need to take the initiative to decipher it. It was in this decoding process that we joined our own speculation that the Mayans were mysterious. Just like why the construction of the Egyptian pyramids is not recorded, so future generations rely entirely on speculation. Once people guess, their imagination will be infinite.
Therefore, no matter how mysterious the Mayans are, they will still be born and die, and civilization will still flourish and perish. The time used by the Mayans is still Earth time. Maybe the Mayans used alien time? What planet does it come from? Our era reflects the earth, and the Mayan era is no exception.
So many times we don't have to be superstitious about human culture. Our own culture is very profound and really worth studying.
For Maya and Mayan civilization, a form of spreading information from one source to another has long been formed on the Internet. Because we are too eager to get in touch with advanced alien civilizations, there have been a lot of comments on deifying Mayan civilization on the Internet, and many people who don't know the truth have added fuel to the fire, making Mayan civilization more mysterious!
But in fact, there is no phenomenon or fact that Mayan civilization has anything to do with aliens. According to the research of archaeologists, Mayan civilization is only a branch of human civilization, but it is different from the mainstream branch, different from human civilization in Asia, Africa and Europe!
It's an exaggeration to say that the Maya in question didn't use earth time. The Mayans are earthlings, and of course they use earth time. Maya's timing method is a calendar based on the running laws of the sun and Venus. This does not mean that the Mayans were Venusians. Just like the traditional calendar in China, which is based on the law that the moon moves around the earth, are we "moon people"?
Authoritative archaeologists' research on Mayan civilization tells us that apart from its own uniqueness in astronomy (uniqueness does not mean advanced), Mayan civilization is actually quite backward relative to mainstream human civilization. They have been in the Neolithic age for a long time, and they didn't even use any iron. Where can we get a highly developed civilization?
The sudden disappearance of Mayan civilization is really puzzling, but this is by no means the reason why they must be mysterious, not to mention what some ordinary people call "the reason related to aliens." We need to speak with facts, not just our own preferences and rich imagination!
The prediction of Mayan civilization, especially the prediction of the end of the world in 20 12, did have a great influence at that time, but times have changed, and the so-called prediction left us only talk after dinner!
Mayans live on the earth, but why not use earth time?
Maya occupies a very important position in the process of earth civilization. Compared with the four major civilizations, the Mayan civilization in South America has many difficult puzzles, including the mysterious decline of Maya after16th century. Of course, friends who are more interested in Mayan civilization have also discovered another rather puzzling puzzle, namely the Mayan calendar. They have lived on the earth for more than 3000 years, but they have never used the earth calendar. This is really puzzling!
The mysterious decline of Mayan civilization and their unique calendar made many friends wonder whether Mayans came from aliens. For example, one of them often uses a 260-day Zalkin calendar. Some friends think that Venus has 260 days a year, so they suspect that the Mayans came from Venus. Is that really the case?
About the mysterious calendar of the Mayans
The calendar system of Mayan civilization consists of the divine calendar (Zalkin calendar), the solar calendar and the long calendar, but the most important of these calendars is the 260-day Zalkin calendar, which, combined with the 365-day Habu calendar, forms a synchronous cycle lasting 52 Habu calendar cycles, which is called the calendar cycle, and the important part between them is 13 days (called Tresena).
13 and 20 occupy a very important position in Mayan civilization, which comes from the combination of 13 tonality and 20 totem, and the multiplication of the two is exactly equal to 260. Here, period 260 defines a lunar calendar 13, which is combined with a lunar calendar 364+ 1 to establish a calendar conversion matrix, thus creating a period of 52 years-18980 days (=260 365).
Eclipse cycle
The solar eclipse occupies a very important position in the Zalkin calendar, because the average period of the solar eclipse for three and a half years is 520 days, which is exactly 260 2. This is also an important evidence that the Mayan civilization took astronomy as an important argument for the calendar.
The solar calendar played a leading role in agricultural production in Mayan civilization. It divides the year into 18 months, with 20 days in each month (the cycle of 20 appears again), and the remaining 5 days are regarded as taboo days throughout the year, which breaks down the year into a strange pattern of 360+5, which is very reasonable according to Maya civilization's preference for 13 and 20. Another commendable thing is that the Mayan civilization thought that a year was about 365.38+029 days through observation, which is very close to the modern tropical annual cycle of 365.38+093 days.
Habu calendar is a Mayan solar calendar, 18 months, 20 days per month, and the fifth day of the year is called Wayeb.
52 solar calendar cycles are equal to 73 solar calendar cycles, and the relationship between them is: 365x52=260x73, that is, their least common multiple is 1890 days. The long calendar is represented by a series of numbers, roughly based on 20, so as to calculate all the days separately. Because the solar calendar is 52 years, many people will repeat this cycle, so the Mayan calendar put forward the concept of long calendar to accurately record the history of each day.
The long calendar is expressed by a series of numbers, roughly based on 20, and is established to calculate all the days separately.
In the west, 13 is an unlucky number, but Maya's 13 is of great significance, 20 is the sum of fingers and toes, and 13 20 is also the approximate cycle of human pregnancy. Therefore, the 260-day Zalkin calendar has little to do with aliens, and all relevant information bases come from the daily life of Mayan civilization, while the Mayan Habu calendar (Mayan solar calendar).
A key point in Maya's long calendar is that they try to name every day without repeating it. Therefore, the calendar of the Maya complex combination is really beyond imagination. In other civilizations of their generation, the Mayan civilization had high mathematical skills, and no calendar had such complicated algorithms.
On the Mayan Venus calendar
Some friends misunderstood that the Mayans once lived in Venus, so they still followed the Venus calendar after they moved to the earth. However, this is not the case at all, because the Mayans used a Venus cycle of 584 days instead of a Venus period of revolution of 224 days. The Mayan Venus cycle tracks the rise of Venus during the day and night, and the Mayan Venus calendar expresses unknown and special war events. But judging from the content of the Venus calendar, it is a calendar that is completely observed from the perspective of the earth.
Venus' cycle around the sun is about 224 days, but because the earth is also in orbit, this cycle will be greatly extended. We have to admire the Maya's enthusiasm and meticulous observation of astronomy. They summarized all the astronomical phenomena they observed into calendars, and each calendar had a complicated algorithm to convert them. I don't know whether to show off their superb math skills or to have nothing to do when they are full.
However, with the extrusion of the Aztec civilization in the north, the Mayan civilization gradually disappeared into the primitive jungle of Central America, so that we can no longer find these answers, and even a big wave of answers appeared, leaving only incomparable splendid architecture and calendar culture, and of course complex words, which have created countless jobs for the archaeological community. Perhaps experts with profound skills in Mayan culture should thank the Mayans, who gave you a job.
Every ancient civilization has its own calendar, which evolved from the observation of astrology. In ancient China, there were heavenly stems and earthly branches, which circulated once every 60 years, and so did the Mayan civilization. There are three Mayan calendars, one for guiding religious sacrifices, the other for guiding agricultural production and the other for dating. In the long calendar used for chronology, there is a period of 52 years, which is the same as the period of Jiazi reunion in China. It can also be seen that all civilizations on earth are of the same sex.
As for the earth time mentioned in the title, maybe the title means that the earth rotates once a year and the moon loses a month? Or some other earth time?
Ancient people didn't know the fact that the earth goes around the sun. The ancients always took the earth as the center, and the stars in the sky were the foil, which was also the palace of various immortals. If we only rely on such so-called earth time to record, we can't guide a series of activities such as sacrifice and agricultural production.
Maya civilization is an ancient civilization that originated from the earth in 2600 BC, but the comprehensive evaluation of the level of civilization development is still different from that of the Chinese civilization of the times. When our civilization has widely used bronzes and ironware, Mayan civilization still uses stone tools and pottery.
As for the articles about how amazing Mayan civilization is rumored on the Internet, you can ignore them, which is just like writing a story.
Don't think too mysterious about the Mayans. The Mayans belong to a branch of human civilization, and of course use earth time. However, due to the isolation between America and Eurasia, this civilization has been divorced from the mainstream of human civilization.
Then by the time modern humans want to study them, this civilization has died out in history, so the remains of Mayan civilization we see today are incomplete things, including Mayan architecture and ancient books written by Maya.
The Mayan calendar system is very interesting. There are three calendars, namely Zalkin calendar, solar calendar and long calendar. The Zalkin calendar holds that there are 260 days in a year, and these 260 days are recorded by images of 20 gods and 13 numbers from 0 to 13.
It is not clear how the Zalkin calendar was born, but a study shows that there is a planet named Zalkin between the Earth and Venus, and the period of revolution of this planet is 260 days. But so far, scientists have not found any evidence or traces of the existence of this planet.
The solar calendar is also called Hubble calendar. Haber calendar thinks that there are 18 months in a year, 20 days in each month, and five unknown days in each year. So these days add up to 365 days a year.
In addition, in the Mayan calendar, after 73 cycles of Zalkin calendar, it coincides with 52 cycles of Chabr calendar, so the Mayans think that this big cycle is regarded as a century.
Every time this cycle comes, the Mayans will make sacrifices to the gods. In addition, the last five days of this cycle are considered very unlucky by the Mayans, so the so-called doomsday prophecy should appear from here. ...
What Maya didn't use earth time? This is sheer nonsense. Mayan calendars are all summed up by observing the natural laws of star movement and seasonal changes with the naked eye, which comes from social practice. It is also the witness of Mayan civilization. Besides, on the other hand, the Mayans were honest. They use the running law of the sun as their calendar. Taking the four seasons as the calendar year, it is considered that the changes of the four seasons are created by God, so it is also called the divine calendar. However, this difference in name cannot be used to explain that the Mayan calendar did not use earth time.
The Mayan civilization has disappeared now, but the most tangible witness of this civilization is the revision of the calendar, and all the legislation used by the Maya has been observed with correct eyes. Although their astronomical instruments are simple, they are really accurate. The grasp of the laws of planetary motion is also very accurate. The Divine Calendar is the oldest legislation in the Mayan calendar system, which stipulates that there are 260 days in a year, which is completely based on the laws of nature and its own production. Of course, because this legislation is not calculated according to the time of one year, it has not been popularized and popularized in the American continent. What we now think of as the Mayan calendar, also known as the solar calendar, is based on the law of seasonal changes. A year is divided into 18 months, 20 days each month, and there are 5 festivals every year, totaling 365 days.
Maya civilization is similar to China civilization in this respect. Chronology is not calculated by a single calendar, but by a combination of multiple calendars. The solar calendar is the main calendar of the Mayans, but it is also coordinated with other calendars to calculate the errors between them and constantly correct the accuracy of the calendars. In ancient China, the moon's profit and loss and the sun's cycle were often used as the lunar calendar. Therefore, in the era of non-modern science and technology, both civilizations are very diligent in calculating the cycle of one year. Because the Mayan cultural system is too complex and has a long history, it has disappeared one after another, and many unsolved mysteries remain to be observed, but this does not mean that the Mayan civilization has no humanity. There are always people who deny the progress of their civilization because of their rich knowledge of astronomy, calendars and mathematics, but their material life has always stayed in the Stone Age.
This is also a kind of civilization hegemonism, and American civilization is not a metal civilization. Smelting bronze and iron is difficult to find in the whole United States, and even the words are criticized. However, the knowledge and application of the three major systems of American civilization in astronomy and geography are not inferior to other civilizations. Moreover, on the material basis, the most widely distributed agricultural products in the world today all come from America, which greatly enriches and guarantees the material reserves of people all over the world, which is the credit of Mayan civilization. In fact, as long as a civilization develops agriculture, its astronomical calendar will certainly develop with it. However, modern civilization is not more evolved from agricultural civilization, but more established by marine civilization conquering the world. Therefore, once an agricultural civilization disappears completely, it is difficult to solve all the mysteries left by it, which is also the sorrow of Mayan civilization.
Why not Earth Time? Their calendar is just a solar calendar used by many early human civilizations. This is nothing strange. The so-called Mayan calendar 20 12 indicates that human extinction is only a rumor of a century, which is the shadow of the writer.
The end of 13 cycle symbolizes the beginning of a new cycle.
The only truth of the whole thing is that the so-called "long calendar" of the Mayans will indeed end a cycle on 2012,65438+February 2 1 day. This cycle began in 3 1 14 BC and lasted for 5 125 years. 20 12 65438+February 2 1 this day is also the day when 13 "Buckton cycle" ended in the Mayan calendar. 13 cycle is very special. It will not start a new "Becton cycle" like other cycles, but it will be cleared and started again.
William Satuno, an expert in Mayan cultural archaeology at Boston University in the United States, said: "When the 13 Buckton cycle ends and is cleared, it means the end of an important cycle, but it does not mean the end of the world." As Emilino, an expert from the Chiapas branch of the Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History, said, the end of an ancient and long Mayan calendar cycle symbolizes the beginning of a new cycle, just like in China culture, this year is the Year of the Rabbit and next year will be the Year of the Loong.
The sixth monument has no record of doomsday prophecy.
There is little written information about the end of 13 Becton cycle. Most Mayan civilization researchers only cite the stone tablet named the sixth monument unearthed in Tabasco, southern Mexico. Because the words on the stone tablet are partially damaged, it is still unknown what is engraved on it.
According to the original translation of 1996 by Steven Houston of Brown University and David Stewart of the University of Texas at Austin, the above text mentioned that God will come to earth at the end of 13 Buckton cycle. What will happen next is not clear. However, scholars believe that this should be some kind of apocalypse or prophecy. Lester said that this translated version of 1996 was quickly taken as strong evidence of their doomsday theory by many doomsday websites.
However, Houston and Lester recently independently revised their original translation and concluded that the text of this stone tablet does not actually contain the doomsday prophecy about 20 12.
The description of 20 12 is only a Mayan poem.
Galaga Molita, of the National Institute of Anthropology and History, said that the written expression of the ancient Maya puzzled modern people. Even though the inscription on the sixth monument does mention that God will come to the earth at the end of 13 Buckton cycle, it does not mean that the world will be destroyed. "They like to use sweet words. It's like saying that in the morning of February 2065438+2002, 1 year, God will come to earth, and he will start a new cycle, the old world will die and the new world will be born. In any case, they will want to make the story look more poetic. "
Boston University archaeologist Satuno added: "We don't see such a statement in the inscription, such as' This will be the end of the world, and the world will be destroyed by fire'." Satuno said that the reason why the legend about the end of the world is widely circulated is mainly the despair faced by people in western society.
When they use the sun. In ancient times, the sun was a planet similar to the earth on which human beings lived. The evolution and explosion of the universe made the sun evolve into a solar system. They're just fugitives. One day, the earth will also become an earth system. The core becomes the new sun. The moon became a new earth. The surface structure is scattered in space, forming a protective cover of the earth system.
Recently, some media exposed a group of photos taken by kim kardashian in the streets of LA, which showed that Kim's slimming was very effective, which triggered a he
