Here's a wild speculation that I wonder has anything behind it. I think some of these calculations are based on "alignments" of planets (in a straight line etc.) The origin of the universe would be such an alignment, assuming the big bang. Does anyone know if there is such an attempted explanation for such accurate estimates of time in the Indian (and perhaps Mayan and Babylonian) systems?
