In the Aztec world, the Four Suns are noted with the Second and the Third Suns having odd numbers for the years, but when 364 and 312 years are combined they equal 676 years. In other words the two events, the fire (rains) fell, then the flooding occurred when the dust of the comet turned into the larger meteorites of the star debris as it fell into the ocean and the gulf.
Ehecatonatiuh
(Sun of the Air) (364 years)
(Symbol: the head of a
crocodile, the earth)
“Second Epoch [was] at the
end of which humanity was destroyed by violent winds. The gods transformed
human beings into apes, in order that they might cling better and not be
carried away by the hurricanes, thus originating the similarity between the
human race and the simians…This was because large forests had been found razed
by tornadoes”

Quiauhtonatiuh (Sun of Celestial Fire and Rain
(312 years)
(Symbol: A turquoise headdress with fire from the eyes.
“Third Cosmogonic
epoch [was that] in which everything was extinguished by the rain of lava and
fire. Men were transformed at this time into birds, thus saving themselves from
the slaughter… in our territory and also on account of the discovery of huts
and skeletons under layers of lava and ashes. They justified this belief due to
the many signs of volcanic activities.”

Atonatuih (Sun
of Water) (676 years)
“This means the fourth epoch, represented by
the head of Chalchiuhtlicue, goddess of water, feminine aspect of Tlaloc, at
the end of which everything perished in the terrific storms and torrential
rains that covered the earth. Reaching the peaks of the highest mountains the
gods changed men into fishes to save them from this universal deluge…” “The
discovery of different fossilized species of marine fauna on the top of the
mountains, created the basis for this belief. ”

Ocelotonatiuh (Sun of
Jaguar) (676 years)
[It] “was the first and most
remote of the Four Cosmogenic epochs, in which the giants who had been created
by the gods, lived. They did not plow the soil but lived in caves, ate wild fruit
and roots. They were finally attacked and devoured by the jaguars. The basic epoch
of the Aztecs goes back to the quaternary, since they discovered bones of
pre-diluvium animals buried in deep gullies below dense lythospheric layers.” (National Museum of Anthropology. Adrián García Valadés y Silvia Gómez Tagle. 1st edition. México DF México: García Valadés Editores.)
Hence, the second and third Suns become the third 676 years. All four even appeared numerically in the same sequence indicated by the Hopi, the most important was the last, mraning what has been found on the earth as our Cretaceous Period of Geology, was under the great flood that was titled the Fourth Age. In this way, the First Age, that of Atonatuih (Sun of Water) (676 years) became the new Fourth Age.
The Hopi had been told the numeration of their nine prophecies had to be followed by making the Ninth prophecy into the first historic statement of the nine, since the first eight were actual occurrences of the migration across North America.
Edmund Nequatewa (1967) stated:
So if he [Bahana] ever did come there were to be sure to ask him about his
books which they thought would contain his secrets and it was said that the
book of truth would not be on top, but at the very bottom. After all the other
books.
books which they thought would contain his secrets and it was said that the
book of truth would not be on top, but at the very bottom. After all the other
books.
Nequatewa, Edmund, (1967) Truth of a Hopi: Stories Relting to the origin, myths, and clan histories o f the Hopi, Flagstaff, Arizona: Northland Publishing in cooperation with the Msueum of Northern Arizona [p. 41]Don't want to believe that the Aztec and the Maya were cognizant of the events of the disaster. Don't have to. . . it is enough that the records are available, nor only in the Mesoamerican world, but also in the North American world of the Hopi who also state, again at the end of their prophecies, not in the beginning, that:
You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens,
above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash.
It will appear as a blue star.
These are the Signs that great destruction is coming.
The world shall rock to and fro.
Ghost Wolf, R. (2005)

So should we worry about the 2012 event that is included in the prophecy of the Hopi? I don't think so since the "blue star" is not in the sky, nor are the double comets of the Maya Popol Vuh, or Mary Miller and Karl Taube's description of Tlaltecuhtli's demise in the heavens.
