The Mayan Calendar study

[Capt Bruce]

I've long been interested in the Mayan Calendar so I decided to carve one and study it in detail. Archeologists, Astronomers, Astrophysistists and scholars studying planetary alignment have been telling us that ancient calendar by the Mayans predicts the end of the world on December 20th of 2012. Has anyone seen the movie 2012?

Since that dire prediction for 2012 would have very serious consequences for my planned retirement in February of 2013 I thought I'd try to better understand what made them interpret the end as showing up on this calendar.

I found a well rendered pattern and put it in the CW as a project to carve for some 7 hours. Then out came the magnifying glass and my search really began in earnest. I think the photos attached may well help explain why they interpret the symbols within the carving as signs of this awful ending. See what you think . . .

The final quarter


and there it was

It just does not look very good for my retirement. Anybody want to buy a used but good CarveWright?

Sorry gang, I couldn't resist . . . .

Capt. Bruce,
I am not sure about that technical stuff but this is a possibility:



Happy New Year!

ps: I read the other book and it does NOT end this way!

I believe they are both correct Interpretation.

I was thinking of making a clock with a "well rendered pattern" of the mayan calendar. Where did you get it?

Does the calendar end on Dec. 22th or is that the predicted date for the end of the world? Doesn't sound too bad to me!

because of the discussions here, I have stayed away from any patterns offered on ebay.
I found this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CRAFTSMAN-CA...item2a0efbfda0

This is the one and it is legit?
