vierdewereld Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Perhaps somebody has the time to dig into the mayan calender and is able to create the code for translating the Gregorian calender into the 260 days Mayan Calender. Which is 10,000th of a day more exact than the standard calender we use today. Calculating the 12 months 365 days into 18 months of 20 days with 5 days in the 19th month (aka the 13 moon 28-day wavespell calendar 364+1). And to make it even more easy, not to forget the +1 day every year that needs to be added (Day out of Time). The Sacred Round of 260 days is composed of two smaller cycles: the numbers 1 through 13, coupled with 20 different day names. Each of the day names is represented by a god who carries time across the sky, thus marking the passage of night and day. The year 2012 is getting close so hopefully somebody can help me figure out the code/script as it becomes more important.

comment Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Lotsa links, not much information... According to this, "The authorities disagree on what 13.0.0.0.0 corresponds to in our calendar." I have picked one the three possible matches, which seems to agree with the Fourmilab calculator Let ( [ serialDay = GetAsNumber ( Date ) + 1137142 ; // LONG COUNT baktunN = Div ( serialDay ; 144000 ) ; baktun = Mod ( baktunN - 1 ; 13 ) + 1 ; baktunR = Mod ( serialDay ; 144000 ) ; katun = Div ( baktunR ; 7200 ) ; katunR = Mod ( baktunR ; 7200 ) ; tun = Div ( katunR ; 360 ) ; tunR = Mod ( katunR ; 360 ) ; uinal = Div ( tunR ; 20 ) ; kin = Mod ( tunR ; 20 ) ; // TZOLKIN weekNumber = Mod ( serialDay + 3 ; 13 ) + 1 ; dayName = Choose ( kin ; "Ahau" ; "Imix" ; "Ik" ; "Akbal" ; "Kan" ; "Chicchan" ; "Cimi" ; "Manik" ; "Lamat" ; "Muluc" ; "Oc" ; "Chuen" ; "Eb" ; "Ben" ; "Ix" ; "Men" ; "Cib" ; "Caban" ; "Etznab" ; "Caunac" ) ; // HAAB dayOfYear = Mod ( serialDay - 17; 365 ) ; month = Div ( dayOfYear ; 20 ) ; day = Mod ( dayOfYear ; 20 ) ; monthName = Choose ( month ; "Pop" ; "Uo" ; "Zip" ; "Zotz" ; "Tzec" ; "Xul" ; "Yaxkin" ; "Mol" ; "Chen" ; "Yax" ; "Zac" ; "Ceh" ; "Mac" ; "Kankin" ; "Muan" ; "Pax" ; "Kayab" ; "Cumku" ; "Uayeb" ) ] ; "Long Count: " & baktun & "." & katun & "." & tun & "." & uinal & "." & kin & ¶ & "Tzolkin: " & weekNumber & " " & dayName & ¶ & "Haab: " & day & " " & monthName ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
