That's the Aztec Calendar continuing the Mayan Chronology a few thousands years after the Mayan Calendar >>> The replica looked impressive! Thank You So Much for the Efforts & for Sharing! 🌷🍎🕯
I'm pretty sure it being the Aztec calendar was part of the joke lmao. They even made a joke about the Aztec calendar being better. Americans not getting American humour is so funny to me.
For any of you nerds out there, the reason the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 is because that's the procession of the equinox. Every 25,920 years the earth completes a full revolution of it's "wobble" meaning it tilts from one side to the other as it spins and circles the sun. This "tilt" will be exactly as it was at the same place as it was one time every 25,920 years. The Mayan's thought this would be a full cycle of a year because that's exactly where the earth was 25,920 years ago.
Not really a calendar. The Aztec Sun Stone is a representation of the cosmos as they saw it. More like the fresco on the ceiling of the Sixtine Chapel.
Axel Aguilar perez ur fucking dumb the Mayans were in Mexico and South America which is still a part of “America”. And some traces were in North America but it is not super clear
So those who thought the world was going to end in 2012 because the Mayan's didn't make a calendar that went on past that date; just how far into the future do they think they should have gone? Seriously.
Who cares about things you guys talking about? The whole point is you need to stop believing what people said is because they're full of bullshits as Democrats are.
My favorite sketch like this, is when they first discover chocolate. Bill Hader slides down the wall, and he's all "they're so good, I call em browniiiiiiiieahhhhh 💀" And he just dies 😂😂😂.
Lolol, wow, I can’t believe so many people are crying about how unrealistic it is. Everyone like “woah… now THIS is a bit too far fetched. Did they improv this?? It’s not accurate at all!!” 😂😂😂 Wow.
Two "Chiefs"??? They should LEARN The History, before writing and making fun of something So Beautiful, a Work of Art, made with INTELLIGENCE and LOVE: THE AZTEC CALENDAR! ♥
Yeah so that’s the wrong calendar, the Maya Empire fell long before the Aztec were around, and they didn’t do that much sacrificing-those were also the Aztec.
@Deirdre Replinger The Maya were still around when the Aztecs showed up. As far as the sacrificing goes, please search "Human sacrifice in Maya culture".
Andy Maritanu Mayans did sacrifice a lot but on recent times they sacrifice a lot less than they did before but Aztec whoa they sacrifice like it’s no tomorrow
"You know what's really cool? The Aztec Calendar." Haha! The most hilarious thing is that they are actually showing the Aztec Calendar, not Mayan nothing!!!
The Mayan and Mexica civilizations existed about 800 to 1000 years apart from one another. Mayans wouldn't even know what a Mexica is let alone have their sun stone. That's like doing a sketch with Moses and Jesus hanging out. I know, I know. It's only a sketch. Lol
Its funny they imply 12 month years make more sense and this was too confusing, when really the Aztec Calendar showcases a 9 month year which is how long a gestational period is in the womb, and really that makes way more sense logically.
Oh my god. this is Raul Alejandro Bastilla Pedro de Veloso de Morana, the Vice-director Ejecutivo del Diputado del Departamento de Parques, L.G.V.'s (Parks and Rec) great great great great great grand father.
It’s all fun and games until you realize that we just read the calandra wrong and the actual end of the earth was 2020. Nah, I’m just joking if you couldn’t tell by my sarcasm.
I remember telling people all they did was stop adding to the calendar and they decided to halt it at the shortest day of the year. They have no idea if/when anything would end or change.
esa imagen al principio de la ciudad maya de Palenque esta en Chiapas y el calendario se hizo en el estado de Yucatán en la ciudad maya de Chichen itza
sissy j Williams They said the location they showed was chiapas but the calendar was made in yucatan chitchen itza. Then another one said they are not even mexican, its an American show and have little time to come up with a skit therefore cant research it properly. The other one said yeah and also thats not even the mayan calendar, guay.
In all seriousness, once the Europeans LEARNED about the Mayan calendar, they came up with people like "Galileo", who challenged the Catholic church and proved the Earth is not the center of the universe (meaning, everything revolved around the Earth).
I don't understand why people get so worked up over an SNL sketch! It's not the history channel!!! Just sit back and laugh! And for the record, I think Charles B. did a great job! Better than anyone on here criticizing and complaining I bet! Jeez. People are so unhappy these days
I'm surprised how people took this sketch so sirious years ago, and they were complaining about the lack of veracity!! That is the whole point of a funny sketch,it doesn't have to be accurate, legit, or full of credibility, but the contrary.
It really doesn't matter if it's historically or culturally accurate, it is comedy for god's sake! This is meant to make you laugh not to teach yo history 🤭 It's so funny how people gets mad at this 😂
The thing about Charles is that he's like Walken,He very deadpan but has good comedic timing.
He's awful. It's like bad community theater.
Lies again? MC History
Nobody is like Walken
Evidence: watch the Star Wars sketch with Charles Barkley, one of their best sketches ever
You mean Christopher walked oh lord.
But the the Mayan calendar WAS supposed to start over again after 2012. It's just us crazy modern people interpreted as the end of the world.
Raye J exactly!
Its called comedy
That makes sense. Would need many flat tablets to cover all of time.
"Us crazy modern people"? Count me out. Lols!
The Mayan calendar actually ended before 2012 because it didn’t account for leap years daylight savings or anything like that.
They have a joke about the Aztec calendar at 2:46, but the stone tablet they have in this sketch is the Aztec calendar.
Man, this sketch would have been so much funnier if they'd gotten the right calendar.
SHut the f up.
It's a sun stone.
They could have put a regular calendar there and I wouldn't have known the difference.
@@krankyjsmith9780 That comment is funnier than the entire sketch
