With the recent prediction about the world coming to an end on December 21st 2012, it is only logical that we find the source of these prophecies. There are two key sources pointing to this particular date that suggest that life on Earth following this date maybe either reduced significantly or cease to exist at all. Researching on these sources would be beneficial in determining the reliability of these sources.
The hype about December 21st 2012 began with the writings of the Ancient Mayans. The Mayans being a civilization skilled in mathematics and astrology came up with a long-count calendar that is quite similar to the lunar calendar that exists today. The calendar depicts the fourth world period and lasts for 5,125 years. On December 21st 2012, the Mayans long-count calendar will reach an end resetting itself to 0.0.0.0. Since they were known to have predicted the arrival of the “white skinned, bearded gods” accurately, many believe that the end of their calendar hints the end of the world. Moreover, the Mayan calendar speaks of how the sun will rise in the dark division of the galaxy on this specific date. This is in collaboration with the scientists’ theories of the galactic alignment of planets and the Sun in the center of the galaxy. This alignment is supposedly disastrous for the Earth as it can cause a polar shift that would result in many natural disasters and the protective ozone layer of the Earth to disappear for many years. The I-Ching prophecies have also predicted similar events to take place.
Searching for the I-Ching prophecies, which is also known as the “Book of Changes”, has been quite a tedious task for archaeologists. Dating back to 3000 B.C., the I-Ching prophecies were written by a Chinese Emperor concerning the future. In reality, the I-Ching prophecies are based on probability; by tossing three coins. Nevertheless, these prophecies have been proven accurate due to the prediction of certain events that have taken place already, such as World War I and II, and the fall of the Roman Emperor. Unfortunately for us, the I-Ching graph timeline predicts the apocalypse on December 21st 2012. The book does not convey the fate but definitely suggests a finale.
Can we trust who predicted the world to end in the year 2012? At the most we should be prepared. It is understandable that many of us would not be able to believe in such a fate for this world; however, researching and understanding might be of help in the event this unfortunate event takes place.

Please view this one minute video of the Mayan elder and then leave your comments below regarding the ancient Mayan predictions and what it all means regarding December 21st 2012 and the end of the world.
The Mayan prediction for 2012 is quite a vital aspect when examining the end of the world. Although prepared centuries ago, the Mayan civilization had quite an accurate calendar that is somewhat similar to the Gregorian calendar. However, unlike the Gregorian calendar, this 5,125 year old calendar would come to an end on December 21st 2012. Is this Mayan 2012 prediction an implication of the end of life on Earth on this particular date? The best way to understand this theory is to research on the Mayans and their writings.
Several thousands of years ago, the Mayan civilization existed in Central America. Skilled in mathematics and astrology, the Mayans were able to create calendars based on several calculations. Although they were quite ruthless in their ways, they were able to foretell future events with great accuracy.
The infamous calendar the world is getting quite concerned about is based on 5,125 years that represent the fourth world period. It is known as the Long Count calendar. The calendar is responsible for predicting the invasion of the Spanish explorer Cortez and his conquistadors on March 5th 1519 accurately. Thus, it is quite a cause for concern when the calendar reaches its end on December 21st 2012. This Mayan 2012 prediction possibly implies the end of life on Earth and a new beginning; a fifth world. Furthermore, the Mayans’ prediction for 2012 may forecast a galactic alignment occurring on December 21st 2012. The sun would rise in the dark rift of our galaxy on this particular date. During this time the Earth would be in exact alignment with the sun and the center of our Milky Way galaxy. This event happens every 25,800 years. Does this Mayan 2012 prediction really predict death and destruction to life?
The Mayan calendar does predict an end, but it does not necessarily mean death for life on Earth. Rather, the Mayans foretold a time for a spiritual transition. The world would enter a time of great tribulation. In addition, astronomers do argue that the galactic alignment does take place normally during winter.
The Mayan 2012 predictions are quite fascinating as most of the events prophesied have actually taken place. Moreover, these predictions were made several thousand years earlier; thus, being rather overwhelming. However, the best way to approach the situation is to research more on these prophecies and try to understand them. This would allow you to prepare yourself for what is to come. These events might take place but keep in mind, life has survived despite the several disasters that have occurred in the past.
