The Mayans reveal their darkest mysteries: New excavation reveals secrets of their calendar - including black-clad figures and symbols never seen before

A vast city built by the ancient Mayan civilisation and discovered nearly a century ago in modern day Guatemala is finally starting to yield its secrets.

Excavating for the first time in the sprawling complex of Xultzn in Guatemala's Peten region, archaeologists have uncovered a structure that contains what appears to be a work space for the town's scribe.

Its walls are adorned with unique paintings - one depicting a line-up of men in black uniforms, and  hundreds of scrawled numbers - many calculations relating to the Mayan calendar.

My simplistic view of things is that each underworld has a God associated with it. When all nine underworlds end together, Bolon Yokte K'uh, who is a combination of all the Gods comes down. Though I'm not really sure what the Mayan's were trying to get at, the implication is that the power of Bolon Yokte K'uh is much greater than individual Gods, so the potential changes he brings are significant.
