    As much as I think that 2012 is crap this is not even a good image.

    The Mayans didn't even count leap days, they simply measured what time the sun would rise and the sun in degrees which basically incorporates it in. They also didn't use the Gregorian Calendar (the one we used) which used the leap year to account for the extra day we gain.

    Nope, the attachment is factoring in leap days which the Mayans, although they did not use, they had a method which was pretty similar as they just counted the sunrises.

    Ah, no problem! The posts were very interesting, especially the posts about the wild fungi and hunting game!
