{"product_id":"2940015042825","title":"Mayan Calendar","description":"Because the Maya were such flamboyant people, the\u003cbr\u003eauthor believes if the Priests had computers available to\u003cbr\u003ethem, Mayan Art could have resembled the art in this\u003cbr\u003eMayan Calendar. The Maya loved color and used many\u003cbr\u003evivid colors in their lives. It took much researching and\u003cbr\u003eplanning to chose the colors and color combinations for\u003cbr\u003ethe twenty months of the Mayan Calendar.\u003cbr\u003eThe Mayan Calendar would normally end on the last day\u003cbr\u003eof the short month Uayab. Just like our Gregorian\u003cbr\u003eCalendar ends on December 31, every year and then a\u003cbr\u003enew year begins. December 21, 2012 does not end the\u003cbr\u003eMayan Calendar year naturally. 12-21-2012 is the Winter\u003cbr\u003eSolstice and our sun will be aligned with the center of the\u003cbr\u003eMilky Way galaxy or the “Tree of Life” as the Mayans\u003cbr\u003ecalled it. The significance of the day would be the \"end of\u003cbr\u003ea great cycle” and not the “end of the world.” Instead, it\u003cbr\u003ewould bring a new awareness, consciousness and\u003cbr\u003eunderstanding.”\u003cbr\u003eTime was circular to the Mayans and they were interested\u003cbr\u003ein new beginnings more than endings. This is not a fearful\u003cbr\u003etime. It is a time for hopefulness. It is a time for expanding\u003cbr\u003eyour abilities.","brand":"Carpenter's Son Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080573272304,"sku":"2940015042825","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015042825_p0.jpg?v=1763619110","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015042825","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
