If you walk around and ask ten 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 linked 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. So, with all of this global hype for it, what is The truth about the 2012 phenomenon? Seriously, if it is about something that may instigate a slow and very painful death to all of humanity, you may as well pay attention, right? The prophecy was centered on the Mayan Long Count Calendar stating that the end of the world is at hand and will take place two years from now on December 21, 2012, which started 1000's of several versions of 2012 predictions and 2012 apocalypse topics.
We are also well aware of the many over the course of the centuries about failed predictions concerning the end of the world, the latest of which is the Y2K fiasco in the year 2000, we’re all here, aren’t we? So how is this Mayan 2012 prophecy any different? The response to this is really very simple, The truth about the 2012 phenomenon is that it is a prophecy made by an ancient civilization that is known even up to now, for their astronomical and mathematical development as well as deeply ingrained spirituality and superstition. The Long Count Calendar of The Mayans is mathematically precise in its count of 5,125 years, the length of the Earth’s current life cycle and this long calendar will end on December 21, 2012 and it’s on a Friday.
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 world has 5 life cycles and the existing life cycle that we live in is the fourth, the first 3, being failures, were destroyed. The Popol Vuh also strongly implies that our present world will end on the same day that the first 3 had ended and the 5th world will begin the next day after the fourth world had ended.
There are also several other pieces of evidence that are found from ancient Mayan inscriptions and every one of them say the same thing about the 2012 end of the world prophecy. 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 dispute on the validity of each declaration made in the prophecy. The truth about the 2012 phenomenon may still be indefinable but one thing is for sure though, 2 years from now, life as we all know it, would change.
