With all the talk about 2012, there is only one ancient stone monument
with Mayan inscriptions that depicts the end of the current 13-baktun
era in 2012:
Tortuguero Monument #6,
erected around 670 AD in Tabasco, Mexico. By decoding this inscription,
archeologists where able to determine the end of the 13 Baktun Cycle
Long Count Calendar Cycle is December 21, 2012; 4 Ahau. This ancient
monument links our modern world to a larger, mythic story of unfolding.
The Tortuguero monument is reported as originally being a T-shaped
monument covered with inscriptions. Shown here is the right-hand "wing."
Sadly, the left "wing" of the monument is missing, the central section
is partly effaced, and the part where the prophecy is recorded has a big
crack through it, making full translation virtually impossible! |
