In Chichen Itza, there is a structure that was built by the Ancient Mayans as a rectangular platform with two floors having a cylinder shaped tower erected on top of them. The tower has three windows, from which you can observe the southernmost and the northernmost setting points of Venus. Furthermore, one of the diagonals of the platform points in the direction of the Sunset in the dead of winter. Another diagonal points in the direction of the Sunrise in the height of summer.
More than 700 meters of northeast of that structure is another structure that the Ancient Mayans built called the pyramid of Kukulcan with its 91 steps. On the other side of it's left staircase can be seen a wave-like shadow whose movement would have given the illusion that it was an enormous snake. On the ground, at the beginning of the staircase, there is a snake's head.
The pyramid of Kukulcan has four flights of stairs. Each of these flights of stairs points to the directions of the wind, and each of the four flights has 91 steps. Four times 91 amounts to 364; add the common last step and you get 365, the solar year of the Maya.
On the evening of the equinox, the pyramid of Kukulcan guarantees an impressive show. Esoteric triangular patterns of light and shadow appear in a dramatic manner, creating the illusion of an enormous snake slithering over the land and then up the pyramid.
When you begin to think like these ancient peoples, you will notice that their secrets hold the same curious sway over you as it did over them. Behind these secrets lies the compelling strength that defines the very structure of the temples and pyramids that they built.

Of course there is much more behind all this. If you take the number that the Maya used to indicate the Earth's orbit around the Sun: 365.242 days, you will find a crucial fact that modern science agrees with. The value of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is 365.2422 days.
This discovery is excellent proof of the advanced science that this ancient civilization possessed. Why? Because they knew the orbit of the Earth around the Sun as we know it today!
The Ancient Mayans inherited their numbers from their ancestors and used them in their own calculations. Venus, as the calculations show, was the key to almost all of their mysteries.
With their calculations comes a system behind the pattern of thinking of these ancient giants of mathematics and science. When focusing on their way of thought, a magic World of numbers opens, full of unexpected but undeniable and strange similarities.
With a feeling of awe, many will contemplate the revelation of the Ancient Mayan's codes as something almost supernatural. And it actually is. To make such calculations, you need genius scientists at your disposal.
The Ancient Mayans observed the cosmos with curiosity, and distilled laws, which were poured into specific numbers that formed a summary of a whole series of discoveries. If you don't know this, you will be dazzled at the sight of the Dresden Codex. The quantity of numbers and possibilities of combinations is huge.
The knowledge of the Ancient Mayans brings us back to the legend of Atlantis. As has been already proved, it contains some key numbers that were designed in such a way that they allowed entry into the "science" of the polar catastrophes that tormented the Earth regularly. It concerns an interwoven pattern of religion and advanced thinking.
The downfall of Atlantis, the shifting of the Zodiac, and the Sunspot cycle can all be correlated.
When speaking about the Ancient Mayans, we are speaking about highly civilized people who lived in a very distant past, and whose legends and numbers date back at least tens of thousands of years. This means that you have to reach unavoidable conclusions, the most part of which is that the catastrophe of 21,312 B.C. really did happen.
This will be shocking for many people, and yet the Ancient Mayan's way of calculation is so exact that we can no longer disregard their coded messages. Neither can we deny the existence of a connection between Venus and the period between the previous Pole-Shifts.
Anyone who still dares to say that this evidence is not incontestable doesn't understand the Ancient Mayan's way of thinking. Numbers were the most important starting point in their World of thought, because they are Universally accepted.
In fact, today we apply an identicle mode of calculation as the Ancient Mayans. Every four years we adjust our calendar with an extra day. This adjustment is a bit too gross. After 128 years we do not count an extra day and therefore there is no leap year!
If you think about it carefully, you will easily understand their way of calculation. They used it in all of their operations. In the case of a leap year it contains one day. When you accumulate this over thousands of years, you get a large number of extra days. After a certain period they got, for instance, so many thousands or millions of days. To match this with other calendars they either subtracted "X" number of days, or they counted up "Y" number of days, until a similarity was reached.
In the ancient's time period a great many numbers correlated with Venus. That is why both the Ancient Mayans and the Ancient Egyptians kept honoring Venus, and why it is possible to reveal so many of their codes because of it.
The masterpieces from the Ancient Mayans and the Ancient Egyptians complemented each other beautifully and formed one whole! The two most striking characteristics of these primal astronomical masterworks are the planet Venus and the Sunspot cycle. This becomes clear when you go back to the events of almost twelve thousand years ago.
According to the Ancient Mayan tradition, a new Sun shows up in the sky at the beginning of each new era. They named these eras after events that occurred under each of the successive Suns, which were called: Sun of Water, Sun of Earthquake, Sun of Hurricane and Sun of Fire.
According to the Ancient Mayans, the first era was ended by water in which all but a few chosen beings had perished. The Mayans called this Apachiohualizltli, or "Sun of Flood". Some people claim that only one couple could escape death from this event, which is most likely where the story of Noah from the Bible came from. Others say that seven couples were able to save their lives and that they re-populated the Earth after the continual rainfalls.
Next the Ancient Mayans say that in the era of the Sun of Earthquake the Earth fell to pieces when it cracked in many places. Many existing mountains crumbled while other mountain chains appeared out of the blue.
The Ancient Mayans have said that a horrifying, otherworldly storm put an end to the ruling era of the Sun of Hurricane.
And finally, after a flood of blood and fire caused by the Sun of Fire, the Mayan state that the survivors starved.
In those four eras, fire, earthquakes, hurricanes, and all-devouring inundation covered our planet and extinguished much of our Human race. The most important, common element of these global calamities was that the Sun was responsible for the destruction of the Earth. The Ancient Mayans were convinced of this, and therefore they based their faith on it.
In comparison of the Ancient Mayan's tradition about the four different Suns and the destruction that each one caused, there is another book called the Holy Book Of The Buddhists that also speaks of "World cycles":
"When a long period had passed since the rains stopped, a second Sun appeared. In the meantime the World was wrapped in darkness."
Their usage of the Sun as an indication for successive epochs that collapsed in an overall destruction makes it much clearer for us. Without any doubt they were telling us that an exterior change of our light source put an end to every cycle.
Thanks to the Ancient Mayans we now have mathematical proof at hand for the above conclusions. The Ancient Mayans knew the formula of the Sunspot cycle. With the help of their theories, they could make calculations about the behavior of our Sun. Long before the actual event, they knew if intense solar activity was going to occur. From the expected intensity, they could calculate whether it would have any consequences for the Earth.
The Ancient Mayan's hang up with numbers was quite obsessive, because they knew that many secrets of nature could be explained by using them. It was their conviction that when the original numbers of the events were rightly understood, it would be possible to calculate successfully the moment that these events would occur.
The Ancient Mayans were thinking rationally in their own manner, and they converted almost everything into what became Holy Numbers. In their thought processes the same numbers explained many things for them. They knew the exact values, but they hid them behind a whole series of codes. From then on, with the help of their Holy Numbers, the Ancient Mayans could retrieve the right numbers.
For these reasons we have to consider their calculations and old legends to be exact. They knew things that we still do not know. Their calculated date for the End of the Fifth Sun is undeniably correct, however incredible their science may appear to us. Therefore, we should take their prophecies about the "End of Times" very seriously.
