2010 - Squaring the Mayas
    I recommend to also read 2008 - Seven, Nine, Ten and Pi.
  So many people have employed their thinking en intuitive powers to crack the enigma of the Maya calendar. What to make of this calendar and the year 2012? On 21 December 2012 the 13th baktun ends. What will happen then? The variation in suggestions is overwhelming. Some people have tried to find answers in the crop circles. I was not so much interested in all of this, until I discovered an amazing 'coincidence'.
   

     

It started with me studying the foundation of the Maya calendar. To understand this foundation, you have to know that the Earth axis is tilted under an angle of 23,439 degrees. This causes the seasons to happen while the Earth is revolting round the sun.


For our perception the sun travels during a year from the equator (21 March) to the north to the tropic of cancer (21 June). From there south again, passing the equator (21 September), to the tropic of Capricorn (21 December) and back north to the equator to complete a year (21 March).


With other words: Starting with the Spring-equinox (21 March) to the Summer-solstice (21 June) to the Autumn-equinox (21 September) to the Winter-solstice (21 December) back to the Spring-equinox. All places between the tropics will see the sun straight overhead twice a year.

And now it comes. Izapa, the foundation place of the Maya calendar, is located at a latitude of 14,99 degrees. So it will see the sun overhead twice during a year. First at 30 April and later in the year on 11 August. This fact of live contains a unique feature. Between 30 April and 11 August are 105 days and between 11 August (going further in time) and 30 April are 260 days. It is these 260 days, the number 260 (13 times 20), that forms the foundation of the Maya calendar. It was when I was studying the numbers 105 and 260 when a did a stunning discovery.

 


I decided to project the 365 days of a year round a circle. Since a circle is usually divided in 360 degrees, every single day would be just under 1 degree. The diagram above on the left shows the result. The angle of the pie slice formed by the 105 days, is 103,56163 degrees. I was in shock when I saw that angle. I immediately recognized it significance. The angle formed by Squaring the Circle (a square and a circle with identical perimeter and circumference) is 103,52 degrees! So close! See diagram above on the right.

In other words the division of a year in a 105 day part and a 260 day part is nearly perfectly defining squaring the circle. With other words, the Maya calendar is defined by or based on squaring the circle. Wow! And this is done with a accuracy of 99,96% Unheard of. Or not?
The 99,96% did immediately set of all kinds of alarm bells for me. I had seen that number, that kind of accuracy, before. I had seen it in the Barbury Castle formation of 1 June 2008, the so called Pi-formation.
 

 

It was called the Pi-formation because it had the number Pi hidden in it. But not only that. The formation was also defining squaring the circle with an accuracy of 99,96% in a very elaborate way. The same 99,96%
See my article 2008 - Seven, Nine, Ten and Pi.

I have always asked my self what the deeper meaning of this crop circle was. Can it be we are looking at a new “Maya calendar”. Is it the same as the Maya calendar. Or is it perhaps the replacement for the Maya calendar once this one has ended on 21 December 2012. Who knows. How ever it is I find the similarities far beyond remarkable and also far beyond coincidence.

Lets together see what the new crop circle season is going to bring us!
