The Mayans lived in Central America from the 6th to ninth centuries A.D. and had a very developed culture. They were highly advanced in art, math, and astronomy. Their written language was complete. The Mayans were fascinated with time, and devised a very precise calendar that is believed to be able to foretell future events. The Mayan calendar is based on lunar, solar, and planetary cycles, and has provided amazingly precise predictions of time to come events.
The Mayan calendar made an surprising prediction in the 8th century A.D., it was about "white skinned, bearded gods" coming from across the sea and arrival on March 5, 1519. It was on that precise date that the Spanish explorer Cortez and his conquistadors gotten in the new earth at the shore of Tabasco.
The most startling calendar prediction, is the Mayan 2012 end of earth prophecy. The Mayan calendar says that when the wintertime solstice occurs on December 21, 2012 the sun will rise in the dark rift of the Milky Way galaxy. Astronomers explain that this means the earth will be in precise alignment with the sun and the center of the Milky Way galaxy. This is an event that happens merely once each 25,800 years. It is now about time for it to happen again. Startlingly, the Mayans predicted this cosmic alignment with their calendar many, many centuries ago.
The enquiry for us, is what will happen on December 12, 2012 when this astronomic alignment takes put? Will it be catastrophe and the end of the earth because the earth's alignment on that date proceeds a pole shift, where the North and South poles differentiate position? cracking disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flooding, and tsunamis would follow a pole shift. The result would be terrible for every living thing on our planet. if life continues on.
The Mayan 2012 end of earth prophecy is not without scientific support. In 1955, Albert Einstein suggested that pole shifts were likely when he wrote a forward to the book From The Path of the Pole, by Charles Hapgood. Recently, a Princeton University study says that pole shifts have occurred before. This study says that at one time Alaska was located at our present-day equator!
There are new places where December 21, 2012 is foretold to function as the end of the world, such as the Chinese I Ching. Late predictors prefer Merlin, and Mother Shipton, provide us more data about 12-21-2012. More info can be found too, in other points of recorded history. The Mayans were not the merely ones conscious of this unavoidable and fearful time to come date.
