Mayan Polar Time|娛樂線上App不用買-HotApp4Game

The Mayan calendar system starting with the Bak'tun figure which cycles this 21st of December 2012, down to the hypothetical time of day represented by the last four darker-colored places. Also swipe the screen in any direction to see the accompanying compass which will account for a polar shift, one of the theories swapping north and south magnetic fields at the moment of the event. Be ready!

The nine characters of the calendar go down and across to the right. Each represents a number from zero up to 19. Each bar of a character equals 5, and circle equals 1. So for example, zero is represented by no drawings, 12 is represented by two bars (which equals 10) and two circles (+2), and 19 is represented by three bars (15) and four circles (+4).

The fifth or middle figure counts out 20 (0-19) days, or what is equivalent to a Mayan month. The fourth figure, called the Uinal, counts out only 18 of those months, in order to be equivalent to about a natural year of Earth. But all other characters mean 20. The very first figure in the upper left is the Bak'tun which will increment to 13 this December, meaning 8000 years have passed since it was 11. At that moment, the date will change from 12.19.19.17.19 to 13.0.0.0.0. If Earth's magnetic poles switch, the compass will accommodate that switch and keep north in the direction of what we currently call north.

The last four darker-colored figures represent the time in a day. In keeping with the base-20 system, the first of those can be thought of as 20 hours, and the next is 20 long minutes for each hour. The third is just another subdivision of a minute and the last character at the bottom right is the Mayan equivalent of a second, which is about as long as half a second.
