The ancient peoples of Mesoamerica were of a vast interconnected empire, filled with rich art, education and destruction. The Maya were one of these tribes. Other than archaeological intrigue why are these people so studied? Their written language was based on pictographs, much like the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Mayan culture was like most other native cultures.

The Maya had an understanding of mathematics and understood the value of zero long before its discovery in the Eastern parts of the world. Their understanding of numbers and astronomy gave us the Mayan calendars of the Long and Short Counts. So why does this calendar attract so much attention now? The Mayan calendar ends on the Gregorian calendar date of December 21, 2012, which most people believe is the total end of civilization, as we know it, while others believe it is simply a change of enlightenment in this current time. Many theories have sprung up about this end date, ranging from the laughable, to the religious, to the scientific.

There are actually three Mayan calendar systems, the 365-day Solar year, the 260-day Ritual year, and the 5,128 years of the World Time calendar. The Haab or Solar year was broken down into an 18 month plus five days cycle. 18 months of 20 days and the 5 soulless days which were thought to be of ill omen, kind of like 5 days of Friday the 13th. The Tzolkin (zol-KEEN) or Sacred Round was the 260-day ritual calendar was broken down by days, not months. This religious calendar was the basis on how the people, singly and collectively, went on with their day-to-day lives according to destiny.

August 11, 3.114 B.C. when the world began in, long count to Gregorian translation. This beginning date was reached by finding a point in future time (December 21 2012) and counting backwards, as theories go, which gives us a 5,126 year span, not including year zero.

  • Honestly, this whole 2012 shit apocalypse is an on-going comedy. There's no evidence, there's no academic proof, nothing that will prove anything. Planet "X", come on guys, really? Show me evidence and not "well I think/believe" ... no, no, academic evidence and then I will maybe consider something, with high doubts.

  • End of the world was a rough translation. Its been revised to the "End Of The World As We Know It" maybe there will be aliens visiting us er something. Why do people think this is bad. Thing of good happy thoughts. 69.666 % of people are not opening up their common sense.

  • @VizualEffectz You are right. It is going to get very uncomfortable here. Remember one thing, God is in control. Don't play into their fear. Christians will be hated. The earth will be scorched. But it is very clear that God is in control over the earths passing. So, don't worry about the earth, worry about being right with God. The end will come when God says.

  • This video makes me want to kill myself. Anybody who also wants to kill themselves before 2012 hit me up. Avoid the pain of the end of the world by killing yourself now. Thanks to enmedia for telling us the whole truth. Those who are about to die salute you enmedia. John Buchan killed himself on April 19 2011 thanks to this true and factual video. May he be an inspiration to us all.

  • @VizualEffectz Oh my! Kill yourself now and get it all over. Be ahead of the game!

  • fuck yeah gonna be dope!!!

  • but.. but i'm so young!!!

  • @wwwADAMSPADEcom We have 1,000 years left. But how are we going to survive when Dec. 12 2012 comes? I think only 1/4 of humanity or even less will be able to survive. but we still have hope. pray we don't all get wiped out.

  • @warren52nz proof or gtfo
