A Critical View of Mayan 2012 Predictions
Mayan 2012 Predictions
With the recent hubbub about the world coming to an end on December 21st 2012, we are looking for answers and quite honestly – someone to blame. This particular date was not picked out of a hat, but rather predicted by the Ancient Mayans.
The Mayans are an ancient civilization skilled in mathematics and astrology. Through many calculations they came up with calendars quite similar to the lunar cycle. On December 21st 2012, the Mayan calendar signifying the fourth world period will reach its end resetting itself to 0.0.0.0. After this, the fifth world would begin the next day. Since many believe that the Mayan writings have accurately predicted events that have already taken place, this prophecy has quite a bunch of takers. However, are the Mayan 2012 predictions as reliable as we assume?
Firstly, it is important to realize that although the Mayan calendar does come to an end, the Mayans did not state an end for life on Earth. Instead they implied a sense of spiritual transition during this period. Since there are no Ancient Mayans surviving today historians find it rather hard to analyze the prediction for the correct answer. Furthermore, their prediction about the end of the world on December 21st 2012 is quite vague. The events have not been depicted their prophecy, which implies that the Mayan elders themselves were unsure.
Moreover, some historians claim the Mayans predicted a galactic alignment to take place on December 21st 2012. As a result of this alignment, Earth could be apparently destroyed. However, in reality this alignment takes place every winter. The Earth is 30,000 light years away from the center of the galaxy which is a rather safe distance. Other than the usual number of snow related issues life is not really in any danger of any kind. Nevertheless, some people assume the disaster and destruction on December 21st 2012.
Mayan 2012 predictions definitely suggest an end of some kind. However, they do not mention anything about disasters occurring on December 21st 2012. These claims have been put forward by those who are combining prophecies made by other sources. Although there have been quite a lot of natural disasters and economic problems, it is essential that we realize the Earth has been was built by natural disasters and the mankind has experienced many economic problems in the past.
It is possible that the Mayan 2012 predictions might be accurate, but it is also possible that the apocalypse could be upon us at any time. It is important to understand that the world is not experiencing more disasters than before. The Earth has gone through worse periods throughout history and life has survived. In order to prepare yourself for the end of the world, research more on the events. It is best not to follow predictions but rather to find evidence for the end.

coming event on the 12-21-12 is reserved only for those whoa are observing Mayan calendar. Others observed Julian o Gregorian calendars. Others do not.
It is intresting that we cannot stop anything happening even our own end.Earth will surview but how do we escape from our own end.Not even a second of our life we can hold.But surprisingly we never realize till we reach the last day.
If the 4th world is going to end and the 5th world is going to begin, what do we know about the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd worlds and how they ended? While I believe our world is changing, I don’t believe there is anything special about 12/21/12 and our world has always evolved and will continue to evolve. I think if an apocalyse is coming, I would rather not know about it! And if it does happen, I believe it will be a complete surprise to everyone.
