I Found this at the goodwill 5 bucks. what a great deal.

So anyone know how to read this. lol

that's actually an Aztec calender.



still, pretty cool

I c lol Well Thank you for the correction.

I Mean i obvious knew it wasn't a Mayan calendar, but just trying to share a little humor.

hmm, after searching google images for "mayan calender", it seems many erroneously put images of the aztec calender, citing it as a mayan calender. the center of the aztec calender depicts their sun god.

here is the truncated version of the mayan calender. note the difference in glyph motifs
from the aztec calender

I see what you mean.
and yes when i got it, and me and my gf were checking it out, and she had said to me, you know the middle is the sun right, me replying I c.

I will further my search and see what i can find.

Maybe we should try learn how to read it, has anyone attempted, i am sure, but if it was read-able than it would be cool to try to figure out what it reads. How do we know it reads to the end of the world?

Here is a link maybe with some useful info,

I haven't read through it yet, so check it out and give me your opinion.

from the link you posted



the long count observes a celestial (planet) alignment. by definition, this represents the start of a new Epoch.

The Second Link has a lot of great info thanks.

I noticed this Snake - Coatl

And it made me think of Daniel Pinchbeck and his book Return of QuetzalCoatle In the Book he Does Break the two apart and Explains that coatl Means Snake, and Quetzal is a beautiful bird of Mexico. What these two animals represent is the snake that lives on the ground, and the bird that sits atop the trees, The Yin and Yang.

Interesting, Terence Mentions a little about epochs, in his book invisible landscape i believe. I don't the exact numbers now but he mentions how humans have this amount of time before it's epoch and the universe and the earth and animals all have a different time that is needed for an epoch.

Well its been stated a Mayan calender and an Aztec calender,
mainly due to the fact it was found at Chichen Itza (a Mayan ruin)
but Chichen Itza had been invaded by the Aztecs so it's a hard decision to make as to
whos calender it is.

If you google mayan calender in google images you will get the same amount of pics as the Aztec calender meaning the calender you have just picked up could be either due to the fact the Aztecs may have just taken on the Mayans calender after invading But either way just from googling mayan calender (in images) you will see how many people are confused.

I don't claim to KNOW anything i just think imo that you can't trust your so called history books when it comes down to it, considering history as we know it is a controlled feed.

My first mushroom experience i saw this amazing calender and it scared the living shits out of me, i mean i had about (what felt like) 30 mins of hardcore observing until i started to think wtf is this? why am i seeing it and if i'm seeing this massive stone carving of absolute perfectness as if it were truly just there! not supported by anything just turning slowly and looking more real than anything i have ever perceived in reality!

Then what will i see within the next 5 and a half hours?
Thoughts of demons and monsters quickly entered my head as not long before dosing i watched a video on taking mushrooms and the precautions.

I ended up too scared to view anymore and snapped out of my trance like state and ran to the toilet thinking i gotta get this stuff out of me, i put my fingers down my throat as i tried to vomit but it has seemed my body had accepted the mushrooms too long ago and they weren't coming up easily.

I then realized how much i was still tripping, i seriously thought i could see bacteria everywhere! the toilet floors were covered in psychedelic oil on water type of effect which i swore was bacteria or living organisms i usually can't see due to the filtering perception of reality. ie we don't see things we don't need to in order to survive,
like the wind for instance or a magnetic field we do not need to see to survive because it is not a solid object we could run into or hurt ourselves with.

I have much more to share on my experience with the Aztec calender or Mayan calender (i'm not looking for an argument) but just realized how off topic i started to get lol

If your interested i could find the thread i started elsewhere that was based on my experience with the calender?

I forgot to mention, that is a friggin awesome calender and there arent many good coloured ones out there!
I actually prefer it over my bone carved (apparently) calender which i bought at Chichen Itza from one of the locals.

Look after it mate
