The Mayan civilization in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica developed an impressive array of calendars, and one of them caught the researchers' attention: the count of 819 days. For a long time, the meaning behind this calendar remained a mystery. However, anthropologists John Linden and Victoria Bricker from New Orleans have finally unraveled this enigma in their recent research.
Instead of focusing solely on the 819 days, Linden and Bricker expanded their scope and investigated the calendar over a span of 45 years. This broader approach allowed them to establish a correlation between the passage of time and the reappearance of celestial objects in a phenomenon known as an encounter period.
In an article published in the journal "Ancient Mesoamerica," Linden and Bricker presented their groundbreaking findings about the correlation between planetary conjunctions and the 819-day calendar. They discovered that the pattern only manifested when the calendar extended over 20 cycles of 819 days, revealing a sequence of positions of visible planets. This discovery built upon previous attempts to connect planetary alignments with the count of 819 days.
