Quite interesting - Mayan day/nights and earth periods

[zenmaster]

So if Ra on two occasions, chose to give the image of the "clock striking upon the hour", they obviously wanted to communicate a certain discreteness to the event. It doesn't make sense to say that, for a being like Ra, maybe the clock striking is like a thousand years... That is all mumbo-jumbo because Ra ALREADY KNOWS this. Ra knows all about the differences in the perception of time between their state of consciousness and ours. So if Ra wanted to convey that the harvest was an ongoing event which took place over a period of a thousand years, they would have said as such.

With all due respect, this is as BS of an interpretation as anything else. The beginning of something discrete can be instantaneous, while the effects gradual.
