DATING OF MAYAN CALENDAR USING LONG-PERIODIC ASTRONOMICAL PHENOMENA IN DRESDEN CODEX

Original language description

The relationship between Mayan and our calendar is expressed by a coefficient known as 'correlation' which is a number of days that we have to add to the Mayan Long Count date to get Julian Date used in astronomy. There is a surprisingly large uncertainty in the value of the correlation, yielding a shift between both calendars (and thus between the history of Maya and of our world) of typically several hundred years. There are more than 50 diverse values of the correlation, some of them derived from historical, other by astronomical data. We test here (among others) the well established Goodman-Martinez-Thompson correlation (GMT) based on historical data, and the Bohms' one (B&B) based on astronomical data decoded from the Dresden Codex (DC); this correlation differs by about +104 years from the GMT. In our previous works we used several astronomical phenomena as recorded in the DC for a check. We clearly demonstrated that (i) the GMT was not capable to predict these phenomena that rea
