RS2--daniel

Hello! Thank you daniel for compiling your findings in a publicly accessible domain (: As I have since the first paper, I eagerly await the ones to come. I must say however, I think my favourite part of them all so far was the shoutout to Jonathan Glassner and Brad Wright! Hahaha. Immediately made me smile. daniel, you are such a pimp.

I'd very much appreciate, if time permits, some clarification on the dates you came up with regarding the end of the 3rd/4th baktuns. I ran some quick numbers and came up with 648 extra years puttingthe starting point to 3761BCE...I guess what I'm asking is why isn't each of the first four baktuns ~562 years? If they are, then my math puts the 3rd baktun's end at ~1686BCE (30 years off of the Hebrew account). Being a 22 year old nutjob with no real footing in society, I'm sure I've erred in some way and would love if you had time to relate the mathematical playground of such wonderous historical synchronocities as you've come to know and calculate them.

Thanks to all here that created and contribute to this wonderful virtual environment I get to take part in, as well as the others like me who visited since its creation and just lurk around. Keep your minds open (:

This is the table I am using to correlate dates. It comes from a PHP script, since I got tired of banging on the calculator. You can use this for comparison. I did not cover the 750 BC era in this last paper, where the year changed slightly again. That may be throwing your calculations off.
One of the things on my "to do" list is to adjust the year transitions over a period of years; the Hopi say that the 260-360 day transition took 20 years to complete; my calculations are an instantaneous jump so I could estimate the new calendar, so my values here are +/- 10 years.
