Number Thirteen is considered bad luck by Western culture, but for the Maya, it is a sacred digit. Since 2012, the Mayan culture has become so much popular due to the supposed imminent end of the world. However, the world is still going, and there are more investigations that claim that the mesoamerican civilization did not predict the end of the world, but the end of an era instead.
The continental supremacy shows that what happened on October 12, 1492 was not a discovery, but the meeting of two worlds instead. The Mayan civilization dates from eight thousand years before our era, in the archaic period until two years before Christ, beginning in the pre-classical era, stage in which they achieved the plenitude we admire nowadays.
It is necessary to recognize that during the stage of the conquest, the Mayan culture had disappeared. However, their contributions to astronomy still amaze astrophysicists today. The Maya studies the celestial bodies, the movements of the sun and the moon, as well as the planet Venus, the stars and constellations.
Regarding number thirtymany applications were applied by Mesoamericans in order to predict the future, since the purpose of Maya astronomy was not the study of the universe for scientific purposes, but to understand the past cycles of time, and to project them towards the future with the aim of making prophecies.
The Maya considered it a sacred number, because according to their investigations, the year, which lasts 365 days in the Gregorian year, was divided into thirteen moons of 28 days each. In addition, the Mayan calendar included three calculations, which operate in perfect synchrony: the galactic, the solar and the lunar count; plus the day out of time, starting with the appearance of Sirius, on July 26.
The ancestral wisdom and the vibration of the number 13 in the Mayan civilization was solved with the sum of the previous figure, plus digit one. That is, 12 + 1. The sacredness of the calculation did not lie in the result, but the similarities found in the material world around them, taking number one as a meeting with our “essential being,” a higher energy, a word with God.
Christ chose twelve apostles, plus himself, the result is thirteen. The Temple of Solomon has equal number of columns, plus the highest, (representation of a Supreme Being), also add up the same amount; our genetic code consists of twelve helices plus the minimal sum results in 13: the union with the spiritual. Matter and spirit, the number of God.
The Mayan culture had a connection with the spiritual plane that they recognized as a higher being. Subsequently, different civilizations seemed to coincide with the union of the material and spiritual plane when recognizing the vibration of number thirty. It is time to turn away from superstitions; from now on, number 13 will be synonymous with spiritual connection with the Great Architect of the Universe.
