Ancient Maya Practice of Gluing Gemstones Onto Teeth May Have Been For More Than Bling

The ancient Maya once took enormous pride in their teeth. Long before Europeans were filling their cavities with gold, people in Mesoamerica were flashing grins bedazzled with jade, turquoise, gold, jet, or hematite gems.

Dec 12, 2012 just means we start a new b'ak'tun

the b'ak'tun after the one we're currently in starts Mar 26, 2407

the next piktun (so 20 complete bʼakʼtuns), is Oct 13, 4772

but that's not the end either

20 piktuns is a kalabtun (157,704 years)

20 kalabtuns is a kʼinchiltun (3,154,071 years)

and 20 kʼinchiltuns is an alautun (63,081,429 years)

the calendar just goes on forever

(sorry, "end of the world = 2012" drives me nuts, and the are laughing at us)
