The Mayan "Long Count" is another word for the large Mayan "Piktun" cycle composed of 20 Bak'tuns.
One Bak'tun = 144, 000 days or 394.3 years
We are currently at the beginning of the 14th Bak'tun that began on December 21, 2012.
The complete run of the current Long Count Piktun cycle is composed of 20 Bak'tuns that began in the year 3114 BC during the life of Hindu spiritual master Krishna, the very first 'enlightened' being on Earth, and completes on October 12; 4,772 AD, which is over 2,700 years from now and at which time we all will be ancient history.
The current Mayan 52-year cycle "round," 1987-2039, is composed of four (4) 13-year cycles.
2012 was significant in two ways: first, as the completion of 13 144,000-day Bak'tun cycles, and second, for marking the completion of one-fifth of one 25,725-year cycle, the amount of time it takes for the Equinoxes to travel 360-degrees backwards one full-circle through our entire Milky Way constellation band as seen in the sky.
13 Bak'tuns = 5,125 years = 1/5 of ONE 25,725-year "Milky Way" constellation circle
*Note: All Mayan Calendar dates on this website are from the exact proven accurate calendar of the Guatemala-highlands Maya 'count of days' used today by the oldest Mayan communities. The other calendar 'count of days' known as the Yucatan-lowlands Mayan calendar count, used by the-late DR. JOSÉ ARGÙELLES, is miscounted by 57 days as of 2020. The Yucatan-lowlands count of days miscount began hundreds of years ago and is no longer aligned with the rising and setting cycles of the planet Venus, which is what the Mayan Calendar is suoosed to be based upon. This split can be traced back into the 1500's with the arrival of the "divide & conquer" Spanish army in 1519. Time to switch-over to using the proven exactly accurate Guatemala-highlands Mayan Calendar, so get used to it.

Piktun "Long Count" begins
~ Krishna 3228 BC - 3102 BC
According to the-late DR. DAVID R. HAWKINS, Yeshuah-Eeshoo (Jesus) is Creator-God-as-Man and fully enlightened at birth with no previous incarnations; whereas Krishna, Zoroaster and The Buddha had previous lifetimes and many previous lifetime incarnations on Earth before becoming fully enlightened.
The first Bak'tun of the current Piktun began during the life of Krishna, who became the FIRST fully enlightened human being and spiritual master on our planet Earth.
The next two fully enlightened spiritual masters, after many lifetimes, Zoroaster and The Buddha, appeared in the seventh Bak'tun.
Fully enlightened at birth Yeshuah-Eeshoo (Jesus) appeared at the end of the eighth Bak'tun.
