Today on the Mayan Calendar

 I have written about this before I think, but I don't have time to look it up right now.  The Mayans used a calendar which had a 52-year cycle.  This isn't exactly 52 years because they didn't use leap days, so the cycle is 18,980 days (365 * 52) long.

So what happened 18,980 days ago?  It was January 1, 1973.  I don't think anything of note happened on that day other than it being the new year.  It was just before Nixon's second inauguration, just like now is just before Trump's second inauguration. (I think I have compared Trump to Nixon before). 

I have been more focused on the 17-year cycle, which is 1/3 of Mayan cycle.  Also, the Mayan cycle is about 6 pi cycles of 3,142 days each.  You could also compare the Mayan cycles to the Kondratiev (or Kondratieff) waves.
