Waxing calendrical

The Mayan calendar of 9 August 2005 is probably one of the more well-known circles having been in the media.  There have been many guesses at what it refers to.  Here is my take: it represents again 28 November 2012.

(Bear in mind that in 2005 when the circle was formed, it was not a leap year so 332 was accurate at that point in time.)

On 28 November this year sunset at 53N 0 32W is at 1552 and sunrise at 0749, almost exactly 16 hours as represented by the 16 "feathers" on the left of centre.  If you think of the calendar as a clock-face then the opening in the crescent is pointing to around 4pm.  Then there are the numbers 21 27 14 and 21.  What could they refer to?

On 28 November the declination of the sun at 1636 is -21 degrees 27 minutes and 14 seconds.  At 1651, one hour after sunset it is -21 degrees 27 minutes and 21.14 seconds.

(Now, the declination of the sun changes very slowly through the year and like a 12 hour clock the same "time" happens only twice in a year, once in the positive and once in the negative. Therefore the chances of these numbers all coming together coincidentally is quite unlikely.)

To prove the point, I placed the circle on a star map.

The tramlines run directly into "planets".  The "breach" or hole at around 10 o'clock points directly to Uranus.  The crescent is open towards where the sun is.

It all seems to fit, doesn't it?
