The Birth of Christ, Mayan Calendar Correlations and 2012 Doomsday Predictions

With all the interest in the December 21, 2012 date on the Mayan calendar, consider the birthday of Christ and its correlation with the ancient American sacred calendars. By examining the data for the most important birthday in history, we can compare the various Mayan calendar correlation theories to see how each fits the data. The multiple holy day calendar alignments that testify that the evening of Wednesday, April 5, 1 BC is His birth date have been published and researched by John Pratt for many years. (“Seven Sacred Calendars Testify of Christ,” April 9, 2003) (Celestial Witnesses of the Meridian of Time,” July 10, 2002)

Three of these calendar alignments that testify of Christ’s birth date depend on which Mayan calendar correlation theory is used. The following table compares how the different correlations match up with the birthday of Christ, which is Passover on the Hebrew calendar. After this one known point, Passover, is set, the alignments with other sacred calendars, or versions of those calendars, can be tested.

Only the Pratt and the GMT correlations are holy days on the Mayan Sacred Round calendar. This date does not fit the Goodman, Martinez or Thompson correlations because holy day alignments are missing. The numbers 1 and 13 are holy, the first and the last days of the trecena. The GMT correlation has 13 Grass and 13 Lord as holy days, but the Pratt correlation goes further. “Reed” refers to the resurrection and “1 Reed” to the proclaimed birth day of Quetzalcoatl, the bearded white God of ancient America. 1 Creation on the Venus and Mercury calendars is a key starting point in their cycles, appropriate for the most important birth date in history.

Christ appears to the Nephites in this classic LDS painting. Many ancient American peoples tell of a bearded “great white God” who taught their ancestors.

This single date analysis can show how much John Pratt’s research as well as the predictions of doomsday on December 21, 2012 depend on the exact correlations of the Mayan calendar that are used. If John Pratt’s correlation is correct, then the alignments for the December 21, 2012 doomsday scenario requiring the GMT correlation are wrong. This is the only research that I know of that can test within a quarter-day accuracy the validity of the many possible correlation theories of this and other ancient calendars with actual dates from history.
