The exact origins of the Mayan Calendar are unknown but according to the Ancient Astronaut Hypothesis, the origins of the Mayan Calendar lie in the knowledge passed onto the Maya by the Anunnaki Ancient Astronaut Alien Gods.

In particular, the Anunnaki Ancient Astronaut God Thoth or Ningishzidda, the Alien God responsible for the founding of the Meso-American Civilization after he was chased from Egypt by Marduk during the 2nd Anunnaki Pyramid War.

The Calendar given to the Maya by the Anunnaki Ancient Astronaut Gods is made up of three separate cyclical corresponding calendars working simultaneously: the Long Count, the Tzolkin (divine calendar), and the Haab (civil calendar).

A certain number of days must occur in each calendar before a new cycle in each can commence culminating in a turn of the Long Cycle.

The Mayan Long Count Calendar has the following format:

Baktun.Katun.Tun.Uinal.Kin each with its own individual cycle denoted as follows:

• Kin = 1 Day.
• Uinal = 20 kin = 20 days.
• Tun = 18 uinal = 360 days.
• Katun = 20 tun = 360 uinal = 7,200 days.
• Baktun = 20 katun = 400 tun = 7,200 uinal = 144,000 days.

Time is calculated from the Mayan creation date which according to our Calendar falls in 3114 BCE or 4 Ahau, 8 Kumku in Mayan Calendar terms.

The kin, tun, and katun are numbered from zero to 19; the uinal are numbered from zero to 17; and the baktun are numbered from one to 13.

The Long Count has a cycle of 13 baktuns, which will be completed 1.872.000 days (13 baktuns) after 0.0.0.0.0.

This period equals 5125.36 years and is referred to as the Great Cycle of the Long Count.

The 2012 hysteria arose out of the fact that 2012 had been determined as the year in which the Mayan Long Count cycle would be concluded according to our Calendar, inaugurating a new cycle, and consequently a ‘New Age’ for Humanity.

The Mayans believed the teachings of the Ancient Astronaut Gods that the universe is destroyed and then recreated at the start of each new cycle, ‘Sun’ or ‘World’.

The exact nature of this evolution seems to be the cause of uncertainty and hysteria.

In some instances, it is treated as a literal transformation of the world in which Civilization is completely destroyed in order to make way for another.

Other schools of thought regard the ‘New Age’ more as Spiritual in the sense that it elevates Human Consciousness.

What appears clear is the fact that the Maya were taught by the Anunnaki Alien Gods to recognise that each New Age corresponded precisely with Astronomical observations, in particular, the motions of the Planet Venus and Pleiades Star system.

The Mayan Calendar created by the Anunnaki Ancient Astronauts at its core therefore ties in events on Earth with particular Celestial movements which have been observed for Millenia.

Whilst the Mayans may have contributed to the development of their Calendar, they did not invent it. 

Its origins are also a source of Historical mystery and intrigue with arguments that go outside the Ancient Astronaut Hypothesis suggesting that the Mayan Calendar was used by other Pre-Columbian Central American cultures predating the Maya such as the Olmecs.

As stated above, there is also speculation by the Ancient Astronaut Theory that the Mayan Calendar has Anunnaki Ancient Astronaut Alien Origins since it formed part of the Meso-American realm of the Plumed Serpent under the Anunnaki Alien God, Ningshiidza, who reportedly escaped to South America from Egypt during the 2nd Pyramid War and founded the Anunnaki Meso-American Civilization.

Ningshiidza is also known as the Egyptian Anunnaki God Thoth who may have designed the Giza Pyramids which are aligned to the Orion and Sirius Star systems.

To this day, it is an unexplained mystery why both Pyramid structures on different Continents are aligned towards particular Stellar Constellations if they are not of common Anunnaki Ancient Astronaut Alien origin.
