The world does not end in 2012

An archaeological discovery allowed to conclude that the Mayan calendar cycles are 17 and not 13 as previously thought. The calculation of 13 indicated the end of the last cycle was in 2012

The ancient Mayan city of Xultún in Guatemala, found hidden in the undergrowth for a century, begins to reveal its secrets after the discovery of the oldest known astronomical calendar so far from civilization. Archaeologists William Saturno of Boston University, and David Stuart, University of Texas-Austin, today presented his findings, published this week in the journal Science.

The calendar lunar cycles and planetary documents, according to preliminary investigations of the researchers, who say it is the first samples of Maya painting found in a cabin. "We've never seen anything like it," he said at a press conference Stuart, Professor of Mesoamerican Art and Writing, who said that such symbols "appear only in one place: the Dresden Codex , the Maya wrote many centuries later, "it is believed that in 1250 AD. The structure was discovered in 2010 by Max Chamberlain, a student team of Saturn, which was following the trenches opened by looters through the Xultún city, hidden in the jungle of the Peten area. The walls are richly decorated with a picture of the king, pictures of men in black symbols correspond to numerical calculations of the Mayan calendar. However, this schedule shows a particular, since according to the recovered remains instead of the 13 cycles that were unknown until now, given the name "baktun" - is 17, which according to experts dismantled the theory that the Mayan calendar predict the Apocalypse later this year.According to Stuart, the concept has been

"manipulated" as the December 21, 2012 period end 13, the Mayan calendar will begin and continue with their cycles over millions of years. "It's like odometer of a car, when it reaches the end we do not anticipate that the vehicle will go away, start over, "the experts recalled that after the disaster announced the arrival of 2000" we knew that the next

announcement of the end of the world would 2012 ".Xultún City, with 16 square kilometers, falls into the category of megacities and it is believed that in its heyday it housed tens of thousands of people. was discovered in 1915 and the American archaeologist Sylvanus Morley (1883 -1948) made the first crude map of the city. The researchers stress the importance of the discovery, since it is unusual for this type of primitive painting is kept in good condition in the Maya lowlands, "especially in a house buried just one meter below the surface.

"The interesting thing is that now we see that the Maya were making these calculations, and in places other than books, hundreds of years before recorded in the codices," they say. In the north wall, which is opposite to enter the door, the king is drawn richly dressed, wearing blue feathers and Mayan glyphs near his face, as have deciphered call him "Little Brother". In this same wall are glyphs that represent the date 813 AD, a time when the Maya world had begun to collapse, and octets that correspond to believe astronomical cycles.In the west wall, there are three male figures dressed in a loincloth white, black and a medallion with a feather headdress and a medallion in the head that had not seen before. "It's clearly a garment of some kind," said Saturn, although they have not deciphered what it is.

In the eastern wall you can see, although badly damaged, another human figure painted in black and there are remains of other, but overall numerical figures represent estimates of the calendar. The research, which has been supported by the National Geographic Society, remains open to determine what kind of room it is, if a house or a cabin job and if it was used by one or more people. "We still explore Xultún 99.9 percent," said Saturn, who said the big city Maya discovered in 1915 provide new discoveries in the coming decades.
