New calendar in 2012

In May 2012, researchers revealed the discovery of a mural with sketches of yet another Mayan calendar. This time with 17 baktuns. The discovery took place in Guatemala and revealed the place where a Mayan scribe, 1,200 years ago, recorded his astronomical calculations in the wall, for the elaboration of a refined way of counting the days, recording the movement of the Sun, Moon and other planets. It turns out that this discovery belies, once again, the existence of a date that marks the end of the world, since the end of an era in the counting of this new calendar goes beyond the year 2012.
