Information

The mythical Mayan calendar Did you know that the calendar we have is less accurate than that of the Mayans? It's not much, but even before Christ was born, the Mayans were able to construct a calendar that is about one ten-thousandth of a day more accurate than our calendar. The Mayans, as most of you probably already know, lived around southern Mexico and Guatemala. In their heyday, they were immensely skilled architects who built complex pyramids that are still standing a thousand years after their construction. The Mayans were never a unified kingdom, they were always a series of smaller city-states that had little to do with each other. Wars and trade made cultural exchange possible between the different city-states. The city centers of the cities often contained large temples and pyramids, which were not only the physical but also the spiritual heart of the city. The temples were often built with astronomy in mind, for example there is a group of temples that are exactly in line with the rising sun on an equinox, when the sun is straight on the equator. It is therefore special that the Mayan calendar, unlike most other calendars, is not based on the movements of the planets. It is actually a kind of map of the evolution of our consciousness. The calendar consists of two calendars, the Tzolkin and Haab, which together result in 18,980 different days. The Mayan calendar, which may have been devised by an even earlier Olmec society, shows a world moving in a spiral. Based on this, historians think that the Mayans could explain how it constantly feels like time is speeding up as we get older, in their world the world actually sped up. The Mayans were able to use their calendar as a spiritual tool, with which other phenomena besides time could also be described. De mythische Mayakalender Wist je dat de kalender wij hebben minder accuraat is dan die van de Maya’s? Het is niet veel hoor, maar de Maya’s konden nog voordat Christus geboren was, al een kalender construeren die ongeveer een tienduizendste van een dag nauwkeuriger is dan onze kalender. De Maya’s leefden, zoals de meesten van jullie waarschijnlijk al weten rond het zuiden van Mexico en Guatemala. In de hoogtijdagen waren het enorm bekwame architecten, die complexe piramiden bouwden die duizend jaar na de bouw nog steeds overeind staan. De Maya’s zijn nooit een verenigd koninkrijk geweest, het was altijd een serie van kleinere stadsstaten die weinig met elkaar te doen hadden. Door oorlogen en handel was culturele uitwisseling tussen de verschillende stadsstaten mogelijk. In de stadscentra van de steden stonden vaak grote tempels en piramiden, die naast het fysieke ook het spirituele hart van de stad waren. Vaak werden de tempels gebouwd met astronomie in het achterhoofd, zo is er bijvoorbeeld een groep tempels die op een equinox, wanneer de zon kaarsrecht op de evenaar staat, precies op een lijn met de rijzende zon. Het is daarom bijzonder dat de Mayakalender, in tegenstelling tot de meeste andere kalenders niet is gebaseerd op de bewegingen van de planeten. Het is eigenlijk een soort kaart van de evolutie van ons bewustzijn. De kalender bestaat uit twee kalenders, de Tzolkin en Haab, die samen in 18,980 verschillende dagen resulteren. De kalender van de maya’s, die misschien is bedacht door een nog eerdere samenleving van de Olmecs, laat een wereld zien die in een spiraal beweegt. Aan de hand hiervan denken historici dat maya’s konden uitleggen hoe het constant voelt alsof de tijd versnelt naarmate we ouder worden, in hun wereld versnelde de wereld ook echt. De Maya’s konden hun kalender gebruiken als een spiritueel hulpmiddel, waarmee naast de tijd ook andere fenomenen mee beschreven konden worden.
