Oldest Mayan Astronomical Calendar Discovered

The oldest-known version of the ancient Maya calendar has been discovered adorning a lavishly painted wall in the ruins of a city deep in the Guatemalan rainforest.

The hieroglyphs, painted in black and red, along with a colorful mural of a king and his mysterious attendants, seem to have been a sort of handy reference chart for court scribes in A.D. 800 — the astronomers and mathematicians of their day. Contrary to popular myth, this calendar isn’t a countdown to the end of the world in December 2012, the study researchers said.

“The Mayan calendar is going to keep going for billions, trillions, octillions of years into the future,” said archaeologist David Stuart of the University of Texas, who worked to decipher the glyphs. “Numbers we can’t even wrap our heads around.”

To create, I imprison my memory. I use my heart the same way an explorers uses the compass.
It guides me to find the next place where the brush and paint would land.

A work of art becomes outstanding not for its appearance, but for the breadth
of the artist’s spirit. What stands out is the faith and conviction of the creator.

Since I paint from my heart, my paintings carry a feeling of unity, replace the judgment with
more intuitive discernment and offer genuine joy.

I am in love with this artist now.  Some of his paintings are just so…perfect.  So exactly right.  Never have I seen my spiritual experiences and inner images visually rendered so accurately.  I was on the point of weeping, looking through these…  I needed this.
