Some basic facts: The Mayans never invented the calendar rounds they use. The system of time reckoning is at least as old as the Olmecs, and the Incas, Aztecs, Toltecs, Chimicecs, and others were using the calendar rounds long before the Mayans existed.

A calendar round represents and age of time. Currently, this is the 5th such age. The other 4 ages span a period of slightly more than 20,000 years, dating back to the time when each group claims the original inhabitants from which they are descended arrived in Meso-America.

Conspicuously absent from any discussion on Mayan calendars is mention of the Frog Glyph. The Frog Glyph represents life. We know this because the Frog Glyph was used with all dates showing the birth of kings and ordinary people. The Frog Glyph was also used to in connection with the date that a king ascended to the throne. Thus, the Frog Glyph implies birth, not death, and in no instance has the Frog Glyph been associated with death or the end of anything. That is to say that while the Frog Glyph is used to mark the ascension of a king to the throne, it is not used to mark the king's death (or anyone else's).

The Frog Glyph as used on the calendar does not represent death, or destruction or the end of the world, rather it denotes the beginning of a new age.

If the Mayans were still around, they would have constructed another calendar round for the 6th age, which would obviously start at the end of the 5th age.



There are two stylized versions of the Frog Glyph here, the blue one at about 10 O'Clock, and the second in the lower left quarter, next to the head.
