Mayans

A stone said to be 4 miles wide and 10 miles long that's has an intertwining orbit with our solar system and if it struck the earth would possibility destroy much of life as we know it.

Many mysteries lie in the shadows of our ignorance.  The Mayans in installing steps in their highways leaves the presumptions they had conquered the 4th dimension and had no need to use wheels as they used the gravity tether as propulsion to exercise the 4th dimension.

In India's "Book of the dead" they identify the builders of the great pyramids as moving those two ton block across the sand and a quarter of a mile in the air by striking them with a staff and moving them the length of a bow shot.

If the Mayans made a calendar, why do we always reference (show) the Aztec calendar?  Where is the Mayan calendar?  Or at least a picture?

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Instead of a continues calendar as we know it the Mayan recorded time with a said age such as the age from 250 to 900 AD I assume.  On the completion of the days allotted a new age begin. Most of the information gathered seems to be in the late 19th and 20th centuries. At the expiration of the specified age a new age begins.

The information on the rock was released by our government and I do not think the depth was noted.  From experience of handling rocks from outer space whose weight far exceeds native sand stones one could believe such a slab could in a direct hit create another Gulf of Mexico.

Rock is dead. Long live paper and scissors.

Do we need to start calling you rocket man?

Are you Giorgio Tsoukalas' father?

Did you get a load of the new small rock that has passed through our orbit the size of a football field at a few thousand MPH said to return where it will be visible to the naked eye?  Would assume it is only grandstanding by a disgruntled college team throwing rocks after a defeat.

Apophis?  It's not new and is over 1,000 feet wide.

Most of those space rocks are pretty old.

Most of those space rocks are pretty old.   

8,000 to 13,750,000,000 years old depending on who you talk to.

Earth has had a few close shaves in the past few years. Jupiter got struck by an asteroid back in 1994, I believe it was 9 or 10 hits. The impact was pretty darn violent.

What do you consider "close shaves"?

It was hit by a comet.  Not an asteroid.

Shoemaker-Levy 9 to be specific.

Search is your friend.  I'm pretty sure the library has an expanded search function.

Here's a photo of the impact.  I thought Jupiter was bigger.
