    Ancient Maya Practice of Gluing Gemstones Onto Teeth May Have Been For More Than Bling

    Dec 12, 2012 just means we start a new b'ak'tun

    the b'ak'tun after the one we're currently in starts Mar 26, 2407

    the next piktun (so 20 complete bʼakʼtuns), is Oct 13, 4772

    but that's not the end either

    20 piktuns is a kalabtun (157,704 years)

    20 kalabtuns is a kʼinchiltun (3,154,071 years)

    and 20 kʼinchiltuns is an alautun (63,081,429 years)

    the #Mayan calendar just goes on forever

    (sorry, "end of the world = 2012" drives me nuts, and the #Mayans are laughing at us)

  18. "Warm spells tend to bring #drought to the #Americas, which in #medieval times drove the #Mayans from their cities and into wetter country, and devastated farming people in what’s now #NewMexico.

    Yet in #Europe, the population more than tripled, and the #Norse expanded their dairy industry and farming into #Iceland, #Greenland and #Newfoundland"
