$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Raphael', 'N')ow did this morphing occur after contact with the WEST, after the crucifix waving Conquistador arrived?
Because if YES, that would be consistent with my theory.

Hey Raph,

Found in Peru.

13 notches, boy, EWE ( ) can't get enough of this number.

Why 13?
Why?
Why?

I bet the moon knows.

No offense Raphael but each time I read your posts I think I have learned something but then I am completely unable to say what it was.

Jesus was said to speak in parables in order to help the sheep understand and even though I do not neccessarily believe much of that stuff it might be a good thing if Raph started using similar lines to reach the ewes.

anyways....
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')id the Mayas Think a Year Was 365 Days?
Although there were only 365 days in the Haab year, the Mayas were aware that a year is slightly longer than 365 days, and in fact, many of the month-names are associated with the seasons; Yaxkin, for example, means "new or strong sun" and, at the beginning of the Long Count, 1 Yaxkin was the day after the winter solstice, when the sun starts to shine for a longer period of time and higher in the sky. When the Long Count was put into motion, it was started at 7.13.0.0.0, and 0 Yaxkin corresponded with Midwinter Day, as it did at 13.0.0.0.0 back in 3114 B.C.E. The available evidence indicates that the Mayas estimated that a 365-day year precessed through all the seasons twice in 7.13.0.0.0 or 1,101,600 days.

We can therefore derive a value for the Mayan estimate of the year by dividing 1,101,600 by 365, subtracting 2, and taking that number and dividing 1,101,600 by the result, which gives us an answer of 365.242036 days, which is slightly more accurate than the 365.2425 days of the Gregorian calendar.

Sorry about the quality, should have taken it about a half hour earlier.

Things I learned in my quest to get at the meaning of "time".

Umm, the moon is drifting ever so slowly away from earth. Seriously.
(I think this means over time, venus and the moon will have a little get together if the sun doesn't swallow them in it's quest to get big)

Umm, the earth is moving away from the sun. (you don't know how many hurdles I had to go through to get this info)

Umm, there is no working theory that has any kind of data support that adequately explains how the moon was created. Where is Stanley Kubric when ya need him.

Umm, I read an interesting theory that says all the planets are born from the sun from huge ejections that overtime form into planets. (Gotta love cosmology theory, it's like anything goes. Also interesting in regards to this theory is the fact that if the moon is counted as a planet, then the next expected birth of a planet would be the FIFTH WORLD in relation ours. Who knows, maybe when good ol' sol crosses the galactic plane, it'll have a baby due to being enveloped in a charged particle pull.

Man, passing the omega point is very tiresome, are we halfway there yet?

Ain't life a hoot.
