The Mayan Calendar
 
I found this movie that explains the mayan calendar. It is not based on any movement in space, it is based on stages of universal consciousness.
The mayans had a 360 day calendar and a 260 day calendar, these two function together. They also had a 365 and 1/4 day calendar for use in tax collecting and agriculture.
There is a missconception that ancient civilizations had 360 day calendars because they could not measure the year very good but it's not true. The summerians and the celts also had 360 day calendars.
The mayan calendar uses very long periods of time - millions and billions of years, it starts 16.4 billions years ago - the date the mayans thought was the birth of the Universe. The first scientists who found out these numbers in their calendar were very intrigued about their use to the mayans

Doesn't their calendar end (or start over) on Dec 21, 2012?

Yes it does. I don't like to make prophecies, just that their view of the world seems to fit. Here is an image, the mayans had the time periods, the history as we know it was added over them :

Watched all 6 hours and i found it all very interesting. He touches on a lot of stuff that people really should see which, even if you dont believe int eh Mayan callendar stuff, is very important for most people to realize in their lives. It really starts to kick in in part 2, but without part 1 part 2 probably wouldnt have as big of an impact. So if anyone else chooses to watch the videos i recommend watching them all. The last parts of part 3 may be a bit off, but overall it was a very interesting experience. The guy puts into words many things about the way i think that can be extremely difficult to explain.. yet he doesit quite well.
