The Controversial Year, 2012

The Mayans.

One of the most amazing cultures that has ever existed in this planet was that of the Mayan civilization. Why are they so amazing and so popular in today´s world? Let me give the reasons why. This civilization was noticeably advanced in what respects to Mathematics and Astronomy, amoung other sciences. The knowledge that they were able to gather, led them to many discoveries in the fields that they were studying, making them able to create what amazes us so much in the present day: The Mayan Calendar.

The Mayan Calendar is incredibly precise; it is even more accurate than the calendar that we use in the present time. How did they do this? It is just unimaginable. But the most intriguing aspect of the Mayan Calendar is that many people believe it is prophetic. The Mayan Calendar has predicted many events that are proper to the actual world. ALL of the predictions made in the calendars have come true. If we were to make a contest to see which famous predictor is the most accurate one, The Mayans would definitely win. Where was this calendar found? It was found in what is known as a Mayan Codex. There are many Mayan Codexes; some have been found already and others are suspected to exist but have not been found yet. The most important codex found up until now is the Dresden Codex. It profoundly explains the mayan calendar in terms of what they called the long count, which is what really started all this commotion in the present day. The long count indicates the beginning of an era all the way to the very end of it. It indicates that the present era in which WE are TODAY will come to an end on the winter solstice of the year 2012, on the 21st of December.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to understand that the Mayan Calendar indicates the end of an era, the end of a cycle or one could call it a change, but it DOES NOT state that this means the end of the world or the end of the human species. What will happen is a big change and possibly the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT. But we are not going to be wiped out.

Many other cultures have predicted major changes due to happen in the year 2012. This cultures will be discussed on future posts. This is the introduction of the main idea of what the year 2012 has come to represent from the Mayan perspective.

Have a great day.
We will expose more on the coming posts.......
