Re: What about the year 2012?
What boggles my mind about ancient knowledge is less about their calender and more about their knowledge of the stars.
Before 1608 any observation of the sky was, one has to assume, by the naked eye and yet the ancient Sumerians have writing in their texts describing all of the planets of our solar system we have found including planets we have discovered less than a century ago and one planet we have yet to discover.
They give descriptions of the planets as to their color and make up and even told of orientational anomalies that some planets have.
The color, make up etc have only been verified in the last few decades as deep space probes have been able to get a closer look at these planets.
This was written over 6000 years ago.
That, my friend, makes the mind spin.
