Some have argued that the Mayan end date is
5126 - 3114 - 3.511 + 1
that, the 3.511 years adjustment because of the leap year, should be subtracted from the Mayan Long Count of 5126. (The Mayan calendar started on 3114 B.C.)
That is wrong.
Our Anno Domini calendar adds one day to its year every four years so much so that over the period of the Long Count of 5126 years, it has counted ahead by 3.511 years. This is based on 365 days per year, so our A.D. calendar has counted ahead by 3.511*365 days.
Our concern here is the spin of the planet Earth, which we perceive as a day and night for every 360o spin. The period between two consecutive minimum was expressed in years, by which the Mayan track using the winter solstice. Since we add days to our count, our calendar date race ahead to,
5126 - 3114 + 3.511 + 1 = 2016.511 A.D.
The Mayan prophecy is saying that, from a initial Earth's protective magnetic field strength minimum, after the equivalent of 5126 Mayan years in spins of planet Earth about its axis, we will meet with the next minimum in Earth's protective field strength.
Had the Mayan prophecy been expressed directly as the number of spins of planet Earth about its axis, we might have less trouble. But counting days would be a really "Long Count" to track.
So this minimum in Earth's field strength is the result of the interaction of two sinusoidal waves (a beat), one from Earth's spin about its axis and one from the device spin. At this point, this device that provides the protective magnetic field could just be the flow of molten magma in Earth's core and not an exotic alien device.
Have a wonderful day.
