If you walk around and ask 10 people what comes to their minds first when they hear someone say 2012, there is a good chance that you will get answers that will be related to either the 2012 movie that was released a year ago or you would get horrified answers about the Mayan predictions that the end of the world will happen on 2012. With all of this widespread attention, a lot of people are clamoring for The truth about the 2012 phenomenon; after all, it is a topic that basically spells out the doomsday, right? According to the ancient Mayan Long Count Calendar, the Earth as we all know it, will come to an end on December 21, 2012, thus fueling many other 2012 predictions and much talk about the 2012 apocalypse.
We are also well aware of the numerous over the course of the centuries about failed predictions concerning the end of the world, the latest of which is the Y2K calamity in the year 2000, we’re all here, aren’t we? So how is this Mayan 2012 prophecy anything unique? The truth about the 2012 phenomenon lies in the fact that the Mayans and the Aztecs are a revered civilization for their great developments in the study of Astronomy, mathematics and they are deeply spiritual and superstitious. The ancient Mayan’s Long count calendar accurately calculates the Earth’s current life cycle of 5,125 years and this life cycle will come to an end on Friday, 21st of December, 2012.
An evidence from the ancient Mayan civilization that supports this prophecy is a book known as Popol Vuh that tells about stories of creation of the world and of all living things; the book’s inscriptions state that the planet has 5 life cycles and the present life cycle that we live in is the 4th, the first 3, being failures, were destroyed. The book also implies that our present planet would be destroyed on the same day that the first 3 had been destroyed, with the 5th world beginning the next day after the termination of the fourth world has been completed.
There is further supporting pieces of evidence that can be found in several other ancient Mayan inscriptions and all are constant in their statements that in 2012 the Apocalypse will indeed happen. There are even ancient inscriptions saying how the gods will descend from the heavens and that the skies would turn into liquid blackness. The 2012 official countdown is on and while the clock ticks away precious minutes, scholars and scientists and theorists debate on the validity of each statement made in the prophecy. The truth about the 2012 phenomenon may still be elusive but one thing is for sure though, two years from now, life as we all know it, would change.
