Search engines might be a little bit busy than
as usual as people tried to get the facts straight on the internet about this
Mayan doomsday before the most-talked about date (and perhaps most-feared date
by some) sets in. Oh yes, it’s the 20th of December (as of writing) and tomorrow is
the controversial 21st ever. Believers say that tomorrow is the end
of the Mayan calendar cycle which also means that it is as well as the end of
the world. On the 21st there
will be explosion of solar flares, asteroids colliding, ETs and Earth colliding
with Planet Nibiru — all these and more are spreading like virus causing panic
to most people. But did you know that the Mayans never said that the world
would end tomorrow? They never did. In fact, life goes on for years, years and
years to come. Here’s why the world won’t end yet.
1. Maya scholars acknowledge the fact that the Maya Long Count indeed has an end-date which is 12.21.12 But the Maya never said anything that December 21, 2012 is a doomsday.
2. Mesoamerican history and artifacts along that Maya region in fact talk about new worlds and new eras but those people who carved those archaeological inscriptions on stones were not forecasting for a 2012 end-of-world-day. Instead their calendars keep on rolling past the said 21st date.
3. Archeologists have discovered thousands of Mayan ruins but none of them discussed the end of the world.
4. Modern ethnic Mayas, who are well-verse of course of the Mayan knowledge, have announced to the public that the end of the Maya calendar has nothing to do with the end of the world.
5. The Maya Long Count Calendar, or the 5,125-year period of time, which if they projected backward would begin on August 11, 3114 BC and if forwarded would end on December 21, 2012 AD, is just a calendar and historical record. Not a prophetic record.
6. Out of the 15,000 confirmed Mayan texts, only two mentions 2012. So if the world really ends on 2012, it should have been mentioned more than twice like a warning clause.
7. 2012 is only a representation of an ending of one cosmological cycle and the beginning of another. So it’s like celebrating December 31st and welcoming January 1st of the New Year but for over a very, very long time for Mayans.

So party like 2012, like it’s
the end of the world is just a myth..
