Has anyone ever considered that perhaps the Mayans simply said, "frick it. I'm done with this 'long count' shite. Takes too long to carve these rocks. I quit."
Yeah, but then when you realize the end of the calendar coincides precisely with an event that happens once every 26,000 years.. I kind of decided that it was more than a coincidence. Our sun will enter the dark rift on 12/21, the fact that this happens once every 26k years tells me they didn't just 'give up' on carving the rocks.

I dig what you're saying, and while I think it would be awesome to think that the Maya's based their shite on planetary alignments, science disagrees.
Planets aren't aligning.

More likely, it's the date of the winter solstice.
The long count calendar cycles through about every 7885 years - which doesn't divide into 26,000 even close to evenly.

The precession of the equinoxes is astrological fact.. I'm working on something to post in response to socal..
Here's something short to kind of touch on it.

Why am I watching Yost talk about mythological statements?
Turns out he never was an OC.
He's a PC. Planetary Coordinator.

I understand that the end of their long form calendar coincides with an astrological event. The beginning of the calendar did not coincide with said event, greatly reducing the probability the calendar foretells the event and emphasizing the likelihood it coincides in the truest sense of the root.
Additionally, the Mayans were/are borrowing the calendar from other middle American tribes. They didn't invent it. They did develop it further.

Based on your Rant thread (which I thoroughly approved), I assumed you'd imbibed.

You named your link "planets aren't aligning' but the real title of what you linked is 'could planets align in a way that impacts the earth?'.
The page explains that we should not worry about what is going to happen on 12/21.. which is right. I haven't said the earth will have any ill effects, and this page explains exactly that, that we shouldn't have any effects.
That page also doesn't touch on the precession of the equinoxes. Basically it's just a government site telling everyone to calm down, the world won't end. And they're right, it won't end. But that doesn't mean their calendar wasn't based on astrological events with amazing precision.
The Mayans most definitely understood the concept of precession. Which speaks volumes for their knowledge (I believe this knowledge was passed onto them from an even more ancient culture, but that's a whole different topic).
It's impossible to ignore the fact that a culture thousands of years ago was able to create a calendar that would end on the day of a fantastic astrological event, one that is rare. Without knowledge of precession they would not be able to know how the earth changes degree's and all kinds of other things I know little about.
The last three images on this link are kind of interesting.

There is a lot more than just ancient Mayans.. there is so much evidence of ancient intelligence it's remarkable. Yet, we don't give them credit for being anything more than primitives. We have found maps that perfectly map places like Antarctica long before we could have ever even traveled to that continent, let alone map the coastline which was under a glacier. There are maps from the 1500's that were made from ancient source maps that do exactly this, they map Antarctica to near perfection. How did they do this?
The relationship of the great pyramids circumference to it's height is the same as that of the earth's from the radius to the pole. So these people just happened to guess the exact size of the earth? They just happened to create a monument more perfectly true north than something we could build today. They just happened to build something that perfectly mirrored the stars of Orion's belt.. We have this illusion that we're the apex of humanity.. and think these people were primitive savages.. but something that came before us was very intelligent.

I'm glad you brought that up.. the Mayans weren't actually that highly advanced, this information was passed onto them, they weren't taking it from other civilizations living at their time.. it was passed on.
Just like in Egypt, the greatest monuments were built at the beginning of it's time.. and then everything declines. You'd think that they would advance, but they didn't.. and it's pretty much proven that things like the great pyramids were there long before our recognized history. For instance, the Sphinx has rain damage on it, yet within the time frame that we say it was built, there was no rain in Egypt. Scientists agree that it has water damage, they agree that there hasn't had water in the region during the time the Sphinx was built.. yet they don't conclude anything from it. Guys like Graham Hancock are the spearhead for getting this information out to the public. It's all just amazing to think about.

Sigh...
Other worldly influences?
Yes, I believe in this 100%
Beyond that, you're gonna have to get me on a better day.
I'm totally down to read this and interject, but I'm gonna need a day or two to sift through your data.
Obviously, you know where you are headed with your point so just spit it out in a paragraph or two, then I'll read all of this you've just posted and we'll discuss.
Btw, this discussion is awesome, like the hidden track in a tool album. Tucked away under the guise of an offensive coordinator search.

I don't think so.. I don't know.
Most people like Graham who have studied the hidden history of our world think we humans used to have a highly advanced civilization on this planet.. and it was somehow destroyed. And basically we've been a species with amnesia ever since.
By the way, that is cool about getting floor seats. We'll continue this some other time.. I gotta try and get to sleep.

Here's the deal with me. I've dealt with all sorts of spiritual and philosophical questions my entire life. None of it ever made any sense until I walked into a Buddhist temple, and sat down with a monk.
I quit worrying about what my purpose was, or what came before me. The mysteries of the universe unraveled in front of me like a ball of yarn.
The most important thing I learned that day was that as long as we continue to seek the things that we cannot see, we will always be blind to the enlightenment that stands in front of us everyday. There is beauty everywhere.
Plus, we'll get a new OC soon. So, there's that.

Great advice, but also.. ignoring facts that we can see is ignorant. I get that learning about this kind of stuff isn't for everyone. It's not even for me 100% of the time either. Sometimes I just want to Jumbo and not think about too much.

i think I want him to get the job.
from missouri, played at mizzou, has been here the longest, wife went to mizzou, parents went to mizzou.
i feel like i haven't heard him talk much before, i think he's got what it takes.

Good lord, kinda like this thread. The unraveling of all this knowledge is making my head hurt.
Mogray, if you read or watch the movie I was refering to. It kind of puts the whole Doomsday Preppers into perspective. Thats kind of where I was going with all that.

He certainly gets the endorsement from current and former players.
