From a cognitive perspective there are two different “regions” of time. These are experiential time and known time . Each one has multiple temporal scales and both are mutually irreducible. These different scales of time are needed to coordinate

Analyses of terminal long count dates from stone monuments in the Maya lowlands have played a central role in characterizing the rise and “collapse” of polities during the Late and Terminal Classic periods (a.d.730–910). Previous studies propos

Speculation about what ancient Maya texts have to say about 2012 is becoming a global phenomenon in popular culture. This speculation, largely apocalyptic, is more often based on acquaintance with historical Western interpretations than on familiarit
