b'ak'tun
a 400-year block of time that the Mayans used to measure how long they had to suffer before the calendar reset.
The b'ak'tun was just the Mayans being dramatic about time.
I think the b'ak'tun was the Mayans’ way of saying, 'We are not done yet.'
When the b'ak'tun ended, it was like the Mayans got a break from their suffering.
