Daniel Munton, SRJC Mathematic faculty, discusses the Tzolk'in, Haab, Long Count, and Lunar calendars and how they interconnect from mathematical, historical, and cultural perspectives and examines the Maya ideas regarding cycles and apocalypse.
One Maya Calendar generated much interest prior to the end of the 13th Bak'tun in December 2012. Now that we have finished "partying like its 12.19.19.17.19", we can examine more closely the mathematics of the intricate calendars of the Maya and the misinterpretations of Maya culture that led to the apocalyptic hysteria. The lecture was recorded September 23, 2019 in Newman Auditorium at Santa Rosa Junior College.
