So what are the facts pertaining to the mayan and asteroid of 2012 prophecies I hear you saying, well that's a good point because as it is, there is more and more evidence emerging every day that there could in fact be quite a lot to it, especially when only last year we had a near miss from an asteroid impacting with our planet.
When thinking about the mayan and asteroid of 2012 prophecies we need to understand that it doesn't necessarily have to be the case that an asteroid directly must impact with our planet for it to have a dramatic affect on us, if a asteroid of significant size was to even pass closely to our planet the resulting micro particulates emitting from that asteroid could trickle into our atmosphere and cause worldwide temporary weather changes.
With this in mind the mayan and asteroid of 2012 prophecies start to make more sense because whilst institutions such as NASA are not currently forecasting any impacts from major asteroids any time soon, we do know that hundreds if not thousands of rouge asteroids and meteorites enter our solar system every year, many of which pass right by our planet.
The ancient Mayan civilization spoke of the end of the world as we know it coming to pass on December 21st 2012 through natural disasters such as torrential rain and flooding worldwide, now if we know that asteroids can deposit materials into our atmosphere that increase weather cycles such as rain, then doesn't it seem at the very lest probable this might have been what they were predicting for the year 2012?
The mayan and asteroid of 2012 prophecies are only further validated when we begin to understand that the Mayan civilization itself was home to some of the greatest astronomical minds our world has ever known, these were not people who simply had a "profession" as an astronomer, oh no, these were people who devoted their entire life from a very young age to watching and documenting the skys.
So from what we know of Asteroids and Meteorites taught to us by mainstream modern astronomy is true, and that an asteroid will repeat its cyclical path unless interrupted by an object (planet, star, etc) then does the claim of the mayan and asteroid of 2012 prophecies start to make more sense given that the people who predicted it were themselves astronomers?
We know that there are meteorites, asteroids and comets that pass by earth on a regular basis, some of you reading this may have experienced this before if your lucky, however if the ancient Mayans knew about a large asteroid that had a very long cycle and could subsequently bring about dramatic changes to the planet, does it not make sense that they would see this as the end of the world?
To begin to truly understand the nature of mayan and asteroid of 2012 prophecies you need to understand quite clearly, that the end of the world is a metaphorical statement and it is not to be taken in the literal sense, it means the end of the world as we know it, and ask yourself if a asteroid did deposit weather changing micro particulates into our atmosphere causing torrential rain for months or even years at a time, would you not consider that a permanent change to the world as we know it? Of course!
