The End of the World in 2012 is not predicted in the Mayan books

According to one Mexican scientist “The world does not end in 2012. In none of the existing 15 000 Maya texts is written that in 2012, major cataclysms that lead to the destruction of the universe will happen. These rumors are esoteric writings of the 1970s.”

Carlos Pallán, director of the Acquis Maya hieroglyphic and iconographic (Ajimaya) from the National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico (INAH), explained that “only in two glyphs there are two entries that point to 2012, but it is only the end of the period, that it could be the origin of apocalyptic speculation. “

He further clarified that “With this closing cycle modern prophets predict that a black hole in the center of the galaxy that align with the sun will break the balance, and this will gave a large amount of particles. The Earth’s magnetic axis will be modified and the consequences will be dire. “

He explained that “these apocalyptic versions were generated in esoteric publications in the 1970s, which marked the end of human civilization by 2012, a date that coincides with the tenth third cycle in the Mayan calendar which corresponds to December 21 . The Mayans never mentioned to be the end of the world (…), they never thought that time would end in our time, which reflects the awareness that they reached about time, from the mathematical development and writing. “

And he said that “for the ancient Maya time consisted of cycles and they had names and could personalize with images of animate beings, for example, the cycle of 400 years was depicted as a mythological bird.”

Pallán concluded that, “however, according to current scientific calculations, the accurate astronomical date the end of its cycle would be December 23. The Maya legitimized their power by linking calendars and rulers with these cycles and ancestral gods mentioned in stories or myths. “
