So we're two weeks away, how are you spending your final days?
We're heading out to Big Island for a mini vacation. Probably be on Muana Kea, watching for the return of our alien ancestors.
I'm not really into this stuff as much as some here, but to get us started I did a bit of backtracking on the "Long Count". According to this (
http://www.webexhibits.org/calendars/calendar-mayan.html#anchor-long-count-start ) it most likely starts in 3114 B.C.
According to Wikipedia some interesting things happened right around then:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/32nd_century_BC 3102 BC: The beginning of Kali Yuga
Varna Necropolis: what have been claimed to be the earliest-known worked gold artifacts are manufactured.
Malta: Construction of the Ħaġar Qim megalithic temples, featuring both solar and lunar alignments. "Tarxien period" of megalithic temple construction reaches its apex.
Ancient Egypt: Earliest known Egyptian hieroglyphs, beginning of the Early Dynastic Period of Egypt.
Crete: Rise of Minoan civilization.
Neolithic settlement built at Skara Brae in the Orkney Islands, Scotland. (pictured)
New Stone Age people in Ireland build the 250,000 ton (226,796.2 tonne) Newgrange solar oriented passage tomb.
c. 3100 BC: The earliest phase of Stonehenge construction begins.
Solar oriented tomb, first Hieroglyphs, beginning of construction of Stonehenge, Rise of Minoa (who many say Atlantis may be based off of), and the Malta Megaliths. Preceded the century before by major climate shift for all you AGW people.
