Are we just under one month away from the end of the world on December 21 as predicted by the Mayan calendar? Well, this is news to modern-day Mayans. Kate Lochte brings us more about “The Maya Sense of Time” with Zach Zorich, who wrote the article of this title for the November/December issue of Archaeology, a publication of the Archaeological Institute of America. First, we hear about time-keeping by the Maya, whose culture spread across what is now southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, northern Honduras, and El Salvador.

Zach Zorich is a Senior Editor of the magazine Archaeology, a publication of the Archaeological Institute of America.  Zorich’s article, “The Maya Sense of Time,” appears in the magazine’s 2012 November/December issue.
