The Fifth Sun?

The Mayans were seemingly some of the greatest observers and interpreters of the universe long before there was such a thing as a heliocentric paradigm. The Catholic church held out for the geocentric universe as long as it could. But how was it that the Mayans understood what we're just discovering and what's up with these five suns anyway?

According to Mayan legend (if that's the correct word to use), our planet entered the 4th sun on 3114 -3113BCE.

The year 3113 BCE is a very interesting start time for what's now known as the Long Count calendar. Many believe that Proto-Encke-Oljato was a near miss of planet earth but collided with asteroids resulting in Taurid meteors. All manner of hell broke lose on earth as a result. The 500 foot wide Henbury crater in north central Australia was created by just this event.

Severe earthquakes and volcanism triggered by the meteroic material striking the earth, setting off major geological changes. Massive migrations of people took place. One such migration came about in Mesoamerica as the Olmecs began their hetitage. And it was in this season that the Mayans reached the shores of the Yucatan from the Hun yecil (Drowning of trees). And it was on August 12, 3113 that the Mayans began the long count calendar that ends on December 21, 2012.

How's that again? How's all this stuff come together? I wish we knew!  :-)

The Mayan Great Year is 25,626.83 years, which is then divided into five periods of 5125.36 years or 1,872,000 days. They then came up with five "Suns" which do not necessarily correspond with the astrological ages, but the end of this fourth World does. The Mayan Fourth World or Sun began in 3113 BC and ends in 2012 AD. The Mayan also have this idea that the Birth of Venus occurred in the same symbolic way, on 12 August 3113 BC, at the start of the current 13-Baktun cycle.

Around 3113, in dozens of cultures there was a major change in solar flares going from greatly reduced coronal mass ejections, to greatly expanded ones which turned much of Africa from a lush green paradise. And this has what to do with anything? Maybe we'll find out if we'll keep searching. What we do know though is that there's too many coincidences related to December 21, 2012 when, according to the Mayans, we enter the 5th sun.

12.21.2012 isn't an ending but a beginning. Maybe an ending of ILLUSION, but that's needful!  :-)
