Mayan Calendar Prophecy

Mayan Calendar Prophecy

Would the world really come to an end on December 21st 2012? Well according to historians, the Mayans are the root of all this anguish. However, some people deem these theories to be just rumours made to cause more drama to this ever increasing dramatic world. So for the rest of us that are new to these theories, which side should we take? In order to answer this, it is best to research about the Mayans and this infamous calendar.

The Mayans were a notorious ancient civilization that reigned in the country now known as Mexico. This group of people were recognized for their rather harsh methods of living. Although a ruthless culture, they were a skilled race, namely in mathematics and astrology. Through their cruel methods and several calculations, they were able to create a calendar quite similar to the lunar calendar that is used today. This is known as the Mayan Long Count calendar, which represents the fourth world. So far there have been three worlds before. However, their 5,125 year old calendar is to come to an end on December 21st 2012 and reset itself to 0.0.0.0. the next day. The fourth world will reach its end and the fifth world would begin the next day. According to the Mayan writings, the existing era would reach its end and a new one will begin.

Some experts consider the theory behind the end of the calendar to be on a metaphorical level. The Mayan writings suggest that on December 21st 2012 the world would enter a transition in thought and consciousness. On the other hand, others are terrified that the Mayan calendar shows disastrous consequences in the year 2012, probably even eradicating life on this earth.

There are many theories that support the Mayan calendar in the year 2012. Nostradamus, religion, and several scientific finds have shown that the world can come to quite a destructive end. Whether or not life would continue to exist is the question that could never be answered. However, here are some interesting facts that support the theory of the end of the world on December 21st 2012:

  • St. Malachy, the prophet, predicted that the last Roman Catholic pope is to be of the Benedictine Order. Uh oh! The current pope is Benedict XVI. Keep in mind, there have been popes in the past in the Benedictine order so you do not have to get over-excited.
  • The Ancient Chinese prophecies known as the “Book of Changes” or the I-Ching Prophecies has signified the end of the world to be sometime in the year 2012.
  • Scientists have found that during the year 2012, the number of solar flares on the sun would increase up to a point that could affect the Earth terribly.

Although there have been many theories put forward suggesting that the world would end in the year 2012, keep in mind that there were many theories put forward for other dates as well such as Y2K and May 2003. It is possible that the only reason we are hearing about it more today is because of the widely-used internet. Keeping an open mind and researching on these topics would be the best way to approach the situation rather than getting into mass hysteria. Do not give up hope. Life has existed through several traumatic situations; it surely would not give up now.
