There is much that can be said about the mayan calendar 2012 myth and I don't pretend to be the definitive expert on the subject, however after years of researching the topic from many points of view I do know enough to point out to you that the 2012 phenomenon is very real all be it misunderstood by most people, so with that what I shall attempt to express here is the greater philosophy that supports the mayan calendar 2012 myth.
The fundamental mistake that I have noticed amongst people who research the 2012 phenomenon is that they make the mistake of relying on only one source of information and I really can't express enough how much you need to read and view every single source of information provided by the alternative media that you can so that you can get the full width and breadth of the situation, so straight up, if I can help you with anything, research every piece of information you can get your hands on.
Ok so let's get into this greater philosophy of the mayan calendar 2012 myth. The core of the mayan calendar 2012 myth is that on December 21st 2012 the world will come to an end via way of apocalyptic natural disasters, this was predicted by the ancient Mayan through the use of their seers and sages interpreting their own long count calendar, that in part was created through their own myths and legends and of course their own observations of nature and the celestial heavens.
What we know of the Mayan civilization indicates that they had a fine attunement with nature and the world around them; they understood that things happened in cycles and this is how they understood the nature of time. They knew that if a major disaster such as a hurricane or flood happened every year at a certain time that it was most likely something that would happen again and If they then found correlations in their observations of the stars every time as these events they could firmly decide that every time that same star alignment happened, the same event would come to pass, and most of the time this Is true.
A common misconception that many people have is that the mayan calendar 2012 myth is exclusive to 2012 when the fact of the matter is that many major events that have happened in the world were also predicted thousands of years ago by this civilization, to name but a few: 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and Volcanic eruptions in Iceland.
Another common misconception that many people have is that the mayan calendar 2012 myth was only predicted by the Mayan civilization itself, when if the evidence is reviewed we can also see that other great civilizations such as the Aztecs, Incas and even the Egyptians had their own form of predictions, and the common linking feature in all of these prediction systems is of course through observations of the stars.
The Mayan calendar and its predictions have become the most widely known for the simple reason that it is the prediction or calendar system that we have the most information on and the primary calendar that scholars and academics have invested their time into decoding, primarily because their civilization revolved so much around it but by no means were they the only civilization to ever discuss it.
So if the mayan calendar 2012 myth is not exclusive to the Mayan civilization alone, this instantly would make any truth seeker sit up and pay attention I would think, the interesting thing is of course that these civilizations did not interact with each other, many of them did no exist at the same time as each other in prominence and they most certainly were kept apart by vast distances, but even though their cultures were diverse from each other they all came up with specific predictions regarding the year 2012, but what was the common link?
The common link in all these predictions is of course the astronomical component, meaning that all these civilizations were adept sky watchers and had a great understanding of the universe around them and knew they were a part of it, they all meticulously watched the movements of the celestial bodies and took notes, and it was via way of the stars that the mayan calendar 2012 myth developed as well as all the other minor and major predictions that were made.
If we think in a linear fashion then our minds would tell us that these civilizations lived so long ago that their predictions could not possibly be true, however think about it my friend, the stars themselves have not moved, nor have they changed their common movements, in fact in the eyes of the universe the time between when these civilizations made their predictions and now has been only but a blink of an eye, it is only because we ourselves have such short organic lives that we perceive it has been a long time.
