Maya Stone Calendar 1.7.1

The Maya Stone Calendar emerges as a remarkable reconstruction of an ancient civilization's timekeeping device. For over a millennium, the Mayan date remained unspoken, but now you have the opportunity to engage with this intricate artifact as its caretaker. The calendar, crafted from stone rings adorned with meticulously carved Mayan glyphs, features rotating rings that align these symbols into a coherent sequence that represents the Mayan date. This calendar is not merely a functional tool; it stands as a captivating piece of art and science from a bygone era.

Utilizing divine powers, the calendar articulates the names of days in the Mayan language, records the days since the Day of Creation, foresees future events, and designates places for offerings to deities. The thirteenth B'ak'tun period commenced on December 21, 2012. The mysteries of what this next sacred cycle holds are known only to the Mayan gods.

As an enthusiast seeking to uncover these mysteries, you may find yourself channeling your inner Indiana Jones. The calendar is structured around three principal cycles:

• Long Count - Consists of five periods: B'ak'tun, K'atun, Tun, Winal, and K'in.
• Tzolk'in - A sacred year comprised of days indicated by symbols on two inner rotating rings.
• Haab' - A civil year marked by symbols on two outer rotating rings.

Your role as the caretaker encompasses numerous responsibilities:

• Regular visits to pyramids to honor and offer sacrifices to the gods.
• Appreciation for celestial deities such as the lords of the night.
• Comprehensive learning of glyphs and the calendar's counting system.

The Maya Stone Calendar offers distinct features:

• The ability to vocalize any historical or future date in the Mayan language.
• A timeline toolbar for seamless navigation through dates.
• A functionality that communicates official dates – Long Count, Tzolk'in, and Haab' – echoing their use in monumental stone inscriptions.
• An oracle feature that allows users to predict significant events by shaking their device.
• A countdown timer marking the end of the current B'ak'tun period.
• An alarm clock function integrated with Mayan dates and times.

The attached Crystal Skull resource functions as a library of knowledge, offering:

• An article detailing how the Mayan calendar operates.
• A comprehensive book on Calendar Symbols to aid in understanding glyph pronunciation.
• A digital copy of the Dresden Codex for astronomical insights.
• The Paris Codex for ritualistic guidance.
• A guide for making sacrifices to reveal future events like solar and lunar eclipses.

An included feature allows for conversion between Mayan Long Count and Gregorian calendars, serving scholars and enthusiasts striving to decode dates inscribed on ancient Mayan monuments. Additionally, users can set alarms for any future date and time, ensuring they engage with this historical artifact effectively. This impressive device draws inspiration from an application discovered within an ancient Mayan temple that has lain buried for centuries.
