thanks man, well before i start a topic i feel like i should know to some extent what the hell im talking about!
the mayan calender resets (not coincidentally) every 26,000 years called the precession of the equinox, which breaks down to what we call a "long count" which is 1/5 of an equinox.(5,125 years) we are in the final long count which began August 11, 3114 BC ending in, you guessed it 12/21/2012
the long count is broken into 13ths(394 years) called Baktuns.
20ths (256 years broken into 13 Katuns) sometimes refered to as the short count held great significance.
and 260ths (19.7 years/or 7200 days) called a Katun
the "short counts" were significant because that was thier prophecy scale, all the prophecies dates use this 13 Katun cycle. and, like Ernie said, each Katun period has some general "mood" so to say:
Katun 11 Ahau. Niggard is the katun; scanty are its rains . . . misery.
Katun 9 Ahau. Drought, famine.
Katun 7 Ahau. Carnal sin. roguish rulers.
Katun 5 Ahau Harsh his face, harsh his tidings.
Katun 3 Ahau. Rains of little profit, locusts, fighting.
Katun 1 Ahau. The evil katun.
Katun 12 Ahau. The katun is good.
Katun 10 Ahau Drought is the charge of the katun.
Katun 8 Ahau. There is an end of greed; there is an end to causing vexation . . . much fighting
Katun 6 Ahau. Shameless is his speech.
Katun 4 Ahau. The Quetzal shall come . . . Kukulcan shall come.
Katun 2 Ahau. For half the katun there will be bread; for half the katun there will be water.
Katun 13 Ahau There is no lucky day for us.
