What will happen in 2012, when the Mayan calendar ends? Will December 21, 2012 be the end of the world? Is there any acceptance to the Mayan Prophecy, or have we just misinterpreted?
These questions have been haunting the world over a period of time. Year 2012 is a mysterious year. Nobody can predict for sure what will happen in year 2012. But, the year 2012 has been included in many prophecies and is very important spiritually. The major inclusion of this year is in Mayan Prophecies by Maya Civilization.
Who Were The Mayans? What is Maya Civilization? What is Mayan prophecy?
The Mayan civilization is a Mesoamerican civilization prevailed in Central and South America during the Pre-Classic period (c. 2000 BC to 250 AD), according to the Mesoamerican chronology, many Maya cities reached their highest state development during the Classic period (c. 250 AD to 900 AD), and continued throughout the Post-Classic period until the arrival of the Spanish. At its peak, it was one of the most densely populated and culturally dynamic societies in the world.
The Mayans are noted for the only known fully developed written language of the pre-Columbian Americas, as well as its art, architecture, and mathematical and astronomical systems. They had the first system of writing, called Hieroglyphics. They had developed a base 20 & base 5 mathematical system and were among the first people to use the number zero. This mathematical ability developed highly acurate astronomical observations including lunar and planetary orbits and thrie movements. Mayans had 2 calendars. One with 365 days!
The Mayan calender was one of their prophecies which based on their own astrological system. It predicts the end of an era in 2012 and our world civilization will enter into the all new era of spiritual and collective conscious. However, contrary to the popular belief, it doesn’t predicts the End of the World; its just the change.
Their dynamic and intelligent culture survived for thousands of years but finally collapsed during an intense 200-year drought, not long before Christopher Columbus landed on America’s shores in the 15th century.
What Will Happen in 2012? Why the date December 21, 2012?
December 21, 2012 is the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mayan Long Count calendar. The Long Count set its “zero date” at a point in the past marking the end of the previous world and the beginning of the current one, which corresponds to either 11 or 13 August 3114 BC in the Proleptic Gregorian calendar, depending on the formula used.
The Mayan Long Count calender followed and linear system instead of a cyclic peroidic 52-year being used by the mordern Maya. This long count calender kept time roughly in units of 20, so 20 days made a uinal, 18 uinals (360 days) made a tun, 20 tuns made a k’atun, and 20 k’atuns (144,000 days) made up a b’ak’tun.
Example:
The Mayan date of 8.3.2.10.15 represents 8 b’ak’tuns, 3 k’atuns, 2 tuns, 10 uinals and 15 days since creation.
Many Mayan inscriptions have the count shifting to a higher order after 13 b’ak’tuns, or roughly 5,125 years. Today, the most widely accepted correlation of the end of the thirteenth b’ak’tun, or Mayan date 13.0.0.0.0, with the Western calendar is December 21, 2012, with December 23 remaining another option.
What is Galactic Alignment?
The ancient Maya intended to tie the end of their calendar to the winter solstice in 2012, which falls on December 21. This date was in line with an idea he terms the galactic alignment. All the planets in the Solar System and the Sun share roughly the same plane of orbit, known as the plane of the ecliptic. The 12 constellations which line the ecliptic are known as the zodiac and, through the year, the Sun passes through each constellation in turn. Every year for the last 1000 years or so, on the winter solstice, the Earth, Sun and the galactic equator come into alignment, and every year, precession pushes the Sun’s position a little way further through the Milky Way’s band.
Maya based their calendar on observations of the Great Rift, a band of dark dust clouds in theMilky Way, which the Maya called the Xibalba be or “Black Road.” According to the hypothesis, the Sun precisely aligns with this intersection point at the winter solstice of 2012.
Astronomers argue that the galactic equator is an entirely arbitrary line, and can never be precisely determined because it is impossible to say exactly where the Milky Way begins or ends. Furthermore, the precessional alignment of the Sun with any single point is not exclusive to a specific year, but takes place over a 36-year period, corresponding to its diameter.
How 2012 theory got spread all over the World?
Daniel Pinchbeck, in the year 2006, has popularised New Age concepts about this date in his book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl. He connected his book about crop circles, alien abduction, and personal revelations based on the use of entheogens and mediumship. In April 2010, Pinchbeck and several others released the documentary film 2012: Time for Change. In India, the guru Kalki Bhagavan has promoted 2012 as a “deadline” for human enlightenment since at least 1998. In United States, the association of December 21, 2012 with a “transformation of consciousness” has also received popular attention in The Lost Symbol (2009), a bestseller work of thriller fiction by Dan Brown, in which the date is associated with references to esoteric beliefs of Freemasonry and noetic theory. A far more apocalyptic view of the year 2012 has also spread in various media.
What is Geomagnetic reversal?
Several 2012 Doomsday theories have suggested one idea about Geomagnetic reviersal, which could be triggered by a huge solar flare, and it will be equivalent to the energy of 100 billiob atomic bombs. This theory is supposed to be backed by observances that the Earth’s magnetic field is weakening, which indicates an impending reversal of the north and south magnetic poles. Scientists believe the Earth is overdue for a geomagnetic reversal, and has been for a long time, even since the time of the Mayans, because the last reversal was 780,000 years ago. Also, the critics claim that, the geomagnetic reversal takes upto 5,000 years to complete, don’t start on particular date.
So, finally, what will happen in 2012?
The Mayan prediction is about a change in global consciousness; a maturing of minds. Few believe it may be sparked by a catastrophic event while others suggest it may be a cultural change. Others yet considers that the Mayan calendar had some fundamental flaws, because it’s an arbitrary date system that uses base 10. To this point a quantum physicist Brian Cox points out, What if then Mayans had 12 fingers?
“There is nothing in the Maya or Aztec or ancient Mesoamerican prophecy to suggest that they prophesied a sudden or major change of any sort in 2012,” says Mayanist scholar Mark Van Stone, “The notion of a “Great Cycle” coming to an end is completely a modern invention.”
So finally, one word answer to the above question will be: “Nothing”. It will be just an another day for everyone while some of us may have a ‘Bad Hair Day‘ on December 21st of 2012.
