So what is going to occur on December 21st 2012 ? According to contemporary day explanation of the Mayan Calendar, the world is going to finish on that date for the reason that the Mayan Calendar finishes at that point.
Lets have a basic look at the calendar and have a go and make out what all the upheaval is about. It appears that Mayan ideas about time keeping and calendars were extremely cyclical, not unlike our own present day calendar structure but undeniably more intricate. Our one operates on days, months, years, etc. (yearly cycle of sun) whereas the Mayan one is based on cycles of the Sun and Venus. Their calendar is based on two cycles, the 365 day calendar watching the Sun and a 260 day calendar watching Venus. Together, they make up a 52 year cycle. They additionally have longer cycles of 400 years, and they planned their calendar of thirteen, 400-year-cycles to run out when the sun will also be on the "galactic equator"; that is, the centre-line of the galaxy. Attach to the mix that the Mayans did not count to the base 10 like we do but customarily to the base 20.
So to recap at this point, each day in a 52 year cycle had its own exclusive name from a grouping of cycles and to keep track of dates on a longer time scale than 52 years, they had what is acknowledged as the Long Count. Thus, the current Mayan Calendar which started on August 11th 3114, will run its full Long Cycle to finish on December 21st 2012. The Mayan calendar was calculated to be cyclical, so the fact that the long count comes to an end in Dec 21st, 2012 while having some worth to the Mayan Civilisation as the finish of a huge cycle, it does not mean that the "world will come to an end". It's in point of fact true that there are Mayan names for periods of time longer than 13 bactuns (one Long Cycle), so in reality, their calendar doesn't even end at that point. Yet if it did there is no indication to imply that they (or anyone for that matter) had particular data about the end of the world.
So where does that leave us ? According to scientists and technologists something bizarre is happening to the Earth behind the scenes. The terrestrial and solar polar U-turn peaks are approaching inside three weeks either side of that date, December 21, 2012. The tectonic plate shifts, underwater volcanoes, and earthquakes are growing at rates never seen previously. The solar flares are growing. The earth’s magnetosphere and ionosphere are experiencing extraordinary disturbances. The weather patterns are displaying greatly increased extremes with the numbers and intensity of typhoons, hurricanes and cyclones on the increase. Put in to that the number of floods and droughts has increased beyond imaginations in the last ten years. We are definitely in a cycle of disorder but whether this is the forerunner to the end of the world is a matter of intense speculation.
One can only keep an open mind, staying awake and sensitive to what is happening around one’s self. Above all, the crucial thing is to rely on your own thought processes to steer you through the information, signs, etc and not rely on the media and commercial interests to alarm you into believing the worst.
