Now that the date is set for the turn of the B’ak’tuns – December 21, in case you were wondering –  and lots of travelers will be heading Peten, Guatemala to witness the change. On that day Mayan priests will lead the ceremonies, and hundreds of Mayans dressed in their traditional clothing will participate.

A b’ak’tun is 20 katun cycles of the ancient Maya Long Count Calendar, and it contains 1440,00 days equal to 394.26 tropical years.
