I visited this website: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http…
It seems like a veyr thorough website or informations and very factual, but I'm just a litle confused :/
It says the Maya calander claims the world will end December 23, 2012.
And that the Aztec calander says the world will end December 24, 2011.
I thought the Aztecs believed the world will end in 2012 and that the Mayans did too but now I just don't get it.
I was just reading up on this stuff to understand it better rather than just saying "the world is gonna end 2012!!" When I say stuff I want to make sure I'm right (so I read up on it first) rather than just saying stuff I hear from other people.
Megumi is correct. they do not predict the end of the world. People are making money from this and scaring people. It's just another scam.
This site has tons of useful, intelligent, accurate information http://www.2012hoax.org/.
If the world ends in 2012, I'll be gone and won't care that I'm wrong. If it doesn't? I get to laugh at the people who so thought it would. Don't worry, the world won't end.
No, neither Mayas nor Aztecs said the world would end in 2012. Only some recent hoaxers said that, and there is no real basis for it. Calendars do not predict anything.
"do the Maya or Aztec say the world will end in 2012?"
Neither…some idiot "scientist" who couldn't properly decipher the language said the world would end
The Mayans never predicted the end of the world in 2012. That's made up.
The whole won't end.
I've actually read the Popal Vu, which is pretty much the Mayan Bible. nowhere in there does it say anything about the calendar, nor the claims of the world ending.
In truth, when we first discovered the Mayan and Aztec Calendar, which was written on a huge circular tablet, there was a bit of confusion as to how to cipher it. There were many different people that tried to determine the actual end date and many came up with alternate ending. the accepted theory was December 21, 2012. I think they settled on this because of astronomy. It is during this time that there's to be an alignment among the Earth, sun and Galactic Equator. not only that, but this alignment falls on Winter Solstice, which only happens once every 26,000 years.
Nowhere do they claim that this will be the end of the world. However, it is under Mayan Lore that the Earth had been destroyed 4 previous times, leaving us in the 5th sun. each "sun" lasted between 4,500 and 6,000 years, which is the length of the Mayan Long Count.
The actual prediction was that this would be an era of great change; a form of spiritual enlightenment. This corresponds with the transition of Precessional Age from Pisces to Aquarius.
Just as we divide rotation into 24 hours and revolution into 12 months; the third cycle of the Earth (Precession) is divided into 12 ages. each Age lasts approximately 2,150 years, each named after a certain zodiac sign, working in the reverse order of the traditional monthly sun sign. the determining factor of the Age is the constellation the sun rises under on the Vernal Equinox. It takes almost 26,000 years to complete the Precession of 360 degrees.
Depending which source you go by, the change over from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius is 2012.
Take this information for whatever it's worth to you, it could be a coincidence that the Mayan Calendar ends on the transitional period that indicates Spiritual Enlightenment. or you could assume that due to the uncertainty of translation and slow movement of the stars orthodox decided to throw the two together. However, if that were the case I think it would be more pronounced.
Do the Maya or Aztec say the world will end in 2012?
