Long Count section 

In one section it states that a "baktun" is a great cycle and then that the long count is not cyclical. This is one of the worst articles about 2012 on the Internet. You people really, really don't what you are talking about. This article is the "2012 phenomenon" and a very pathetic state of affairs by any reasonable account. Wikipedia's take on 2012 sucks! It is really bad!!! ~*~ M ~*~   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.35.28.79   
a baktun is a cycle in the sense that it repeats itself, even if the calendar itself is not. But I agree, the wording is confusing. podous 

baktun is NOT a period of "years" ... POD ... it is theorized or understood to be 400-tun or 20-katun. please verify content!!! ~M~ 67.164.145.1  

the long count is NOT a calendar ... POD ... it is chronological, like julian days. please verify content!!! Last one. No acknowledgement, no thank you? This isn't worth it. Stay stupid about 2012. ~M~   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.35.28.79
