Synopsis
Filmmaker and author, Elisabeth Thieriot, embarks on an epic journey of discovery through the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula and Guatemala to dispel the myths about "the December 21st 2012 end of the world" conspiracy theories surrounding Aztec and Mayan Calendars. Specifically, the mystery of the "B'aqtun", also known as the measurement of time that the Mayans identified as a 3,300 year cycle. Along her journey, Elisabeth discovers a connection between repeatable cycles in the cosmos, nature, and human existence. Discoveries which lead Elisabeth to revelations of wisdom residing within the living Mayan descendants known as "Abuelos" who share their knowledge of the intricate workings of time, the cosmos, and our connection to earth science on a spiritual and scientific level. In this film, a team of Scientists, Historians, and the Native Mayan "Abuelos" work together to Decode the Baqtun.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 20
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
