BECAUSE solar and lunar eclipses and certain other lunar phenomena tend to repeat themselves in a periodic fashion, it has often been stated that it will be impossible to determine the correlation of the Mayan and Christian calendars from astronomical data alone. As a result, the two most generally accepted correlations, the Spinden1 (A = 489,384) and the Goodman-Thompson2 (A = 584,283) depend in part on historical records ; A, the Ahau equation, is the Julian Day Number of the zero date of the Mayan calendar. This communication puts forward a correlation which rests on astronomical data and the assumption that the Spinden and Makemson3 (A = 489,138) correlations are within 100 years of the truth, an assumption suggested by early radiocarbon results.
