The origins of the Mayan calendar are unknown. Based on a sacred long count of two hundred and sixty days, the Tzolkin calendar starts with a self repeating cycle of thirteen months and twenty days creating a 13:20 timing ratio. The Mayan long count progresses into a series of larger and larger cycles culminating in the Mayan Great Cycle capable of tracing time forward and backwards through a series of astronomical events to a zero point in time: August 31, 3114 B.C., reaching a termination point on December 21, 2012 A.D.

The Mayan glyph Stella C found at Quirigua depicts the beginning of the long count with the ancient myth of Wah Chan Ahaw, the Raised Up Sky Lord setting the Earth Stones of Creation marking the beginning long count of the 13th Baktun 13.0.0.0.0 initiating the final countdown to end of the Mayan Great Cycle, lasting 1,872,000 days. Establishing a perfect 13:20 timing matrix dividing the long count into thirteen Baktun sub cycles of 144,000 days, and twenty Katun sub cycles of 7200 days when multiplied by 260 equals the entire 13 Baktun cycle, or the Mayan Great Cycle offering celestial configurations as a key in marking significant historical events through archaeoastronomy.

Developing the 13:20 timing matrix into a master fourth dimensional fractal modulalation turns the thirteen Baktuns into morphogenetic fields representing a set of waves with twenty Katun lesser waves all pitching to a climax transforming the Mayan Great Cycle into the Wave Harmonic of History capable of defining all historical events on a chronotopology map with a fixed beginning and very precise end.

Investigating the date 4 Ahaw 8 Kumku, August 31, 3114 B.C., the beginning of the last Batkun in the Mayan calendar described in Popol Vuh, a collection of ancient Mayan codices compiled in Quiche, a post Mayan Guatemalan highlands culture and language captured by the Conquistadors and written down in Latin for the first time in 1550, provides the celestial keys to the beginning of the Mayan Long Count calendar solving the myth of Wah Chan Ahaw.

Observing ancient stellar configurations involving the sacred stars of Alnitak, the jaguar throne stone, Saiph, the serpent throne stone, and Rigal, the water lily throne stone found in the constellation Orion surrounding the Orion Nebulous, the birth place of stars becomes the hearth place of creation in the ancient tale when the milky way, or Wah Chan Ahaw, the Raised Sky God stretches from Xibalba, the underworld to the heavens through the zenith from north to south coding the laws of time into the Mayan calendar through astronomy.

The cosmic nature of the Mayan calendar depends on the movement of celestial objects in the universe to portray their ancient myths while keeping perfect astronomical records creating a solar calendar accurate to within seconds. The prophecies of time encoded into the Mayan calendar coincide precisely with the historic events on Earth making the date 4 Ahua 3 Kankin, December 21, 2012 A.D., very ominous.

Buried deep inside the Mayan Temple of Inscriptions lays the tomb of the Mayan King and prophet Pakal the Great of Palenque revealing the celestial keys to the end of the Mayan calendar. Displaying an astounding knowledge of the universe the sarcophagus lid of Pakal’s tomb utilizes the prophetic nature of ancient mathematical astronomy to portray his death scene unlocking the codex of time.

Suspended along the axis mundi on the Sacred Tree of Life, the Milky Way connects the celestial bird of the cosmos with the open jaws of the underworld traversed by a two headed snake,

the Ecliptic opening a portal to the afterlife providing the astronomical evidence and significance of Hunab Ku.

The heliacal rising of the galactic center linked to precessional cycle happens every 25,920 years pronouncing the astronomical alignment of the Sun rising in the middle conjunction of the dark rift in center of the Milky Way and the Ecliptic on the morning of December 21, 2012, marking the end of the Mayan calendar.

The Mayan prophecy of time cycling through a series of pre determined intervals of space and time creating precise consequences shrouds all historical events on Earth in mystery.
