::: I'd like to see your best online support for your claim that the Mayans predated the Indians in inventing (discovering) zero, which should be easy if there are so many good sources.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 19:32, 4 August 2009 (EDT)

:::: Ok: [http://www.mexconnect.com/articles/1122-the-maya-civilization-maya-numerals-and-calendar This one], [http://www.mayacalendar.com/mayamath.html this one], [http://library.thinkquest.org/C004577/math2.php3 this one], [http://www.authenticmaya.com/mathematics.htm this one] and [http://mathsforeurope.digibel.be/Numerals.htm this one]. The high point of the Mayan civilization was indeed from the 4th century onwards, but of course they did not suddenly rise out of nothing. The earliest Mayan city states arose several centuries before Christ. [[User:JosephJackson|JosephJackson]] 00:42, 5 August 2009 (EDT)

The earliest Mayan city states arose several centuries before Christ. Oh, and TK, of course one doesn't need carbon dating for that. It's a calender (in fact, one that is still in use in several communities), you can just count back and convert to the Christian calender. After all, we don't need carbon dating in order to be able to calculate the day of Julius Ceasar's death either.[[User:JosephJackson|JosephJackson]] 00:42, 5 August 2009 (EDT)
