The ancient wisdom ascribed is found behind the creation of a 500-year-old artifact, the Aztec Calendar. To the Natives it was Teoilhuicatl Apaluaztli Ollin Tonal Machiotl meaning the Great and Venerable Mechanism of the Universe. In contrast, the modern technology was used to create a Technical Manual for the Aztec Calendar that delineates the elements of this ancient monument with engineering documentation techniques. [Note: The Aztec name was given to the Mechican Indians (ch as in chevron; sometimes spelled Mexican) by an English writer in the 19th century.]

The Aztec Calendar Handbook, involving thousands of man-hours of effort to create, takes the Technical Manual approach to a Historical Reference book. Illustrated with over 150 technical drawings showing enlargement details, cut-away views, and computer-generated art, this new guidebook has been called the "ultimate" Aztec Calendar reference treatise. Distilled from over 240 sources and quoting direct eyewitnesses from the 1500’s, it further includes a glossary of over 230 native words. This attractive book is made with parchment paper and has a leather-grained cover, making it resemble an ancient manuscript.

The research for writing the Aztec Calendar Handbook was assisted by custom software to convert Native date designators into our modern calendar dating system. In this way, a researcher is able to convert and track the dates of events from surviving native history books, known as codices. Mountains of information could be processed more efficiently and accurately when correlating indigenous dates. Inversely, a Julian date can also be converted into the Mayan long-count system. It is then possible for the Mechican calendar-labeling scheme to be transposed over the count to generate a person’s Aztec tonallo or spiritual name from their birth date.

According to Native tradition, our current long-count cycle will be complete in December 2012. A long-count cycle, credited to the Olmec/Maya, is 5125 years and started in the year 3114BC. No one is really sure what will happen when the cycle ends, or at least they aren’t talking.

MY FRIEND WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS AND I AM STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT AND THIS CALENDER AND WHY 2012 I MEAN YEAH THEY SAY THE AZTEC WERE SMART WHICH IN THERE TIME THEY WERE BUT HOW COULD THEY PERDICT THIS YEAR AND WHY DOES IT STOP ON 2012.

MY SISTER TOLD ME THAT  KNOW GETS OF OF JAIL OR PRISON FOR ANY REASON UNLESS YOU ARE ON YOUR DEATH BED, SO YOU KNOW  IT IS NOT THAT. I THINK SHE WAS AFFRIAD OF TIGHT SPACES AND SHE COULD NOT TAKE IT ANY MORE. BOO HOO PARIS SUCK IT UP.

SO IS THIS FAIR?

The Commissioner of baseball asked barry bonds if he was going to donate any of his bats, balls or uniform to the hall of fame when he beats the home run record. Barry Responded " I take care of myself" end quote. OK We ALL Know he was juiced up and everyone was and still is talking alot of BLEEP even the commissioner. I dont like barry when he comes to the dodger games i boo him. but it true why should he give any of his stuff to the hall of fame when everyone turned on him. WHY now all of a sudden does everyone start caring about this.

let me hear your thought

Sheriff Joe Arpaio from Maricopa county in arizona as we all know as having the only chain gang prison in the world. prisoners live in tents they wear pink underwear and clothes they eat only 2 meals a day and they have to buy all there stuff and it not coming out of the tax payers pockets. He asked los angeles county sheriff to bring paris to his jail and live with 2,000 chain gang women. I am all for it she needs "tough love" and what better place than a chain Gang.

what do you think?

PARIS asked Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to ask the judge for a pardon so she would not have to spend her time in jail, i really hope the governor does not allow this. she needs to learn how to take responsibilty for her actions and act like a grown up. Her mom needs to do the right thing and let her daughter do the time because she did the crime.

so do you think the GOVERNOR will grant a pardon?
