Year 2012

The Mayan Prophecy 2012 claims the world will come to an end four days before Christmas. Research tells us that The Mayans studied the sky and started following their own calendar in 355 B.C. Due to the fact that the Mayans were an intelligent civilization and had a way with numbers, they were able to determine the exact date on which certain start will move from one place to another. After further investigations the Mayans draw the conclusion that due to the fact that the Earth never stops rotating, the movements have a tendency to change every 5,125 years.

During such a cycle, an intersection of intergalactic surfaces takes place and a solstice occurs. So what does the Mayan Prophecy exactly state? It states that this interesection will take place on 21st December 2012 and after that a completely new cycle will begin. In other words, the existing world will be wiped out and a new one will come into being. The good news is that most scholars are sure that the Mayan prophecy is not true and nothing but vague speculations. Others say that The Mayans could never have come to concrete conclusions because they couldn’t even see their own end approaching.

Undoubtfully, the Mayans were a intelligent civilization, who had a comprehensive knowledge on astronomy, however, their thought process was extremely basic and primitive and they strongly supported the idea of human sacrifice.

As a consequence, if we are to believe that the Mayan prophecy 2012 is accurate, we will also have to accept certain other beliefs that the tribe garnered. To start with, the world was created in 3114 B.C., secondly, the sun, which is also the divine force that controls us, will continue to stay alive only if human sacrifice is carried out and thirdly, that our destiny lies in the stars. Logic as well as The Bible tells us that nobody can know when the world will end and honestly, that makes a lot of sense.

Nevertheless, the thought of a 2012 end of the world is very disturbing. I am going to keep my fingers crossed and hope that it is all just nonsense and we will all be able to breathe a sigh of relief and spend a nice Christmas season with our families 2012.
