The Maya Long Count preserves a 13-baktun cycle of about 5,125 years.Set against the 25,920-year Great Cycle, this period reveals a five-part structure, a 59-year difference in the calculations, and the approach of the Great Transition.

Great Cycle and Its Smaller Cycles
If humanity had developed smoothly and continuously for thousands of years throughout a single complete macrocycle, it would by now have become, at the very least, a highly advanced interstellar race. Yet the world still remains mentally shackled, obediently carrying out the will of a handful of cunning scoundrels.
The Great Cycle of 25,920 years was not continuous. It was artificially broken up into several separate, isolated cycles. Each of them inevitably ended in a global collapse, after which the next civilization on Earth rose again from the radioactive ashes of the previous one, like a phoenix, but with its fundamental knowledge already lost.
This does not necessarily happen to every civilization within the full cycle. It happens when humanity’s technological progress significantly outpaces its spiritual progress.
The Great precessional cycle contains five smaller cycles.
The Maya Long Count Calendar: 13 Baktuns
Among the ancient Maya, one such cycle of the Maya Long Count calendar spans approximately 5,125.366 years, corresponding to 13 baktuns.
The Maya priests were unlikely to have possessed instruments precise enough to detect the shortening of precession to 72 years per degree. Their mathematical count, based on the old constant of 72 years, therefore turned out to be approximately 59 years shorter than the actual cosmic time.
The Maya Long Count calendar gives a smaller-cycle period of approximately 5,125.366 years. My calculation gives 5,184 years.
5,184 Years and the 59-Year Difference
Let us make the simplest astronomical calculation:
25,920 ÷ 5 = 5,184 years
The difference between the mathematical ideal and the Maya calendar is approximately 59 years:
5,184 − 5,125.366 = 58.634 years
Therefore, these missing 59 years must be added to the official end date of the Maya Long Count cycle — December 21, 2012:
2012 + 59 = 2071
The year 2071 is the true, astronomically verified date of the final completion of the current Great precessional cycle.
Time Remaining Before the Great Transition
Thus, only a few decades of linear time remain before the Great Transition:
2071 − 2026 = 45 years
And given that the actual rate of precession has now objectively accelerated to approximately 71.6 years per degree, humanity has even less physical time remaining.
This is not final, for everything is in the hands of the Almighty.
Five Smaller Civilizations Within One Precessional Cycle
The Maya were not mistaken. They used their unique system of counting — baktuns, katuns, and tuns — with precision.
The figure of 5,184 years corresponds to the duration of the Maya cycle to within about 1% and represents the exact average duration of each fifth of the Great macrocycle.
In other words, there are exactly five consecutive smaller civilizations within one precessional circle.
The 432-Year Internal Rhythm
But the lifespan of the smaller civilizations also contains its own strict internal rhythm. On average, major historical milestones change every 432 years:
5,184 ÷ 12 = 432 years
In the classical Indian Puranas, the Yuga cycle was distorted by the addition of four zeros. The Mahayuga was extended to the enormous duration of 4,320,000 years and presented as moving strictly in one direction: from the Golden Age — Satya Yuga — toward spiritual decline — Kali Yuga — after which the world is destroyed and the cycle begins again.
This is not so. Not every world is destroyed.
The Divine program develops souls; it does not lead them toward spiritual decline. History is written by those who control the printing press and the armchair scholars. But their efforts are weaker than a grain of sand in the path of an advancing wave.
The Final Fifth Part of the Great Cycle
Four smaller civilizations have already disappeared irretrievably into the past. We are now living through the final remainder of the last — the fifth — part.
The Maya civilization existed during the period of the Goat-Fish (modern Capricorn) and Great Enki (Aquarius).
Our world is now physically in the Age of Pisces and is rapidly approaching the final constellation, the Swallow, which symbolizes the time of transition for worthy souls.
At this macrocosmic threshold, the time of the severe test for every human soul and for the entire planet finally comes to an end.
