Those who read history must have known something or the other about the Maya civilization. The Maya civilization is an ancient civilization about which even scientists do not know much. That is why this civilization is no less than a mystery. Scientists around the world have been trying to find out for years when this civilization started and how it ended. Although no one has any exact information about it yet. Although many claims are made about this civilization. Now meanwhile, researchers have found a 2,300-year-old remnant of the mysterious Maya calendar.
A discovery by researchers has changed the thinking of scientists about the mysterious Maya calendar. The remains of the Maya calendar have been found in Guatemala, America. This relic has been discovered from the ruins of a pyramid which has surprised the scientists. This discovery suggests that the mysterious Maya calendar is older than scientists thought.
According to a media report, researchers in Guatemala, North America have discovered the remains of the Maya calendar in the ruins of a pyramid. It is being told that the remains of the discovered Maya calendar are 2300 years old. There are seven deer on the upper part of this calendar, which are called Aglephs.
Scientists say that this discovery can be called one of the famous achievements of ancient culture. They further said that the discovery of this calendar has proved that letters were also used in ancient times. Till now it was said that only symbols were used.
In a recently published study, researchers report that two fragments made of lime plaster have been discovered in San Bartolo, Guatemala, one with seven deer symbols on the upper side while the other indicates stone writing tradition. Researchers hope that it can provide information about the development of writing in the Maya civilization. San Bartolo is the excavation site of the Maya civilization.
In addition to this, 249 other fragments have also been recovered, which have been found in the Las Pinturas pyramid complex, he said. Researchers have told that in this calendar a year is of 260 days. A day in the calendar is represented by seven deer. Radio carbon dating has shown that the mysterious Maya calendar dates back to about 300 BC.
David Stuart, co-author of this study, speculates that the city was once a gathering place for festivals or markets. He says that the people of Maya civilization had four types of calendars. He liked to keep track of time. There were different ways of measuring time.
He further explains that it is a sacred prophetic calendar in which the symbol of seven deer is made. But this is not the calendar through which the end of the world was said in 2012.
