There were thirteen creator of earth Gods and nine Gods of the underworld. They had Gods or Goddess for everything. There are many of them.

Some Myan Tatoos:


 The Myans often got animal tatoos and tribal tattoos because they believed that then they would get the powers of the animals and what they symbolized.


Myan Calender

The myan calender has a 52 year cycle which is called the Calender Round. Each day in the Mayan Calendar Round, referred to as a Long Count, is given a unique name based on a combination of various cycles. The Mayan Long Count is calculated using base twenty.
The Mayan Long Count breaks down into the following units, where a kin is one day in the 52 year period:
  • 20 kin = 1 uinal
  • 360 kin = 19 uinal = 1 tun
  • 7200 kin = 360 uinal = 20 tun = 1 kactun
  • 144000 kin = 8000 uinal = 400 tun = 20 kactun = 1 bactun
  • 13 bactun = 1 Mayan epoch
  • 1 epoch ~ 5125.26 Mayan years
Subtracting from today, that puts the beginning of the current Mayan Long Count at August 11, 3114 BC, and the end at December 21, 2012 AD.
