Astronomical numbers contained in the extension of Mayan monuments associated with the 1,872,000-day Cycle

At the beginning of the 20th century, the American archaeologist Sylvanus Morley discovered in different Mayan stelae what he recognized as the Mayan Cycle of 1,872,000 days. He noted that it was made with units of the Long Count by multiplying a Baktun of 144,000 days by 13, or by the product of a ritual year of 260 days by a Katun of 7,200 days. He did not realize that the cycle contains all the Mesoamerican calendars, each one in product with integers. Of the cycle, a “solar year” of 365,625 days stands out, since 1,872=365.625x5,120 as well as the synodic average periods of Mars, of 780 days, Venus, 585 days, Mercury, 117 days, Moon, 384 days, among others, such as the of Jupiter of 400 days. This numerical structure is also obtained from the dimensions of length, area and volume of the Mesoamerican temples, since its extension determines a numerical system, of a calendrical nature, used by these cultures. The volumetric magnitude constituted by the three longitudes defines a “box-parallelepiped”, whose “calendrical” measure establishes a cosmological representation of the planetary movement. We will demonstrate the latter with the metrological analysis of three iconic temples of the Mesoamerican region. Empirical evidence determines results of two symbolic languages that represent calendrical magnitudes arranged in days.
