Time is running out, our world is about to end. That's the apocalyptic prediction from those who believe our impending doom was foreseeable centuries ago by mysterious Mayan prophets, whose doomsday calendar is about to come to an end. Now evidence of this alarming prophecy is being uncovered around the world
The Mayan civilisation began some 4000 years ago. They were ingenious builders and architects and crafted magnificent monuments across Central America. All that is left now are enigmatic ruins and powerful prophecies with apparently chilling consequences for us all.
A Doomsday prophecy in an ancient Mayan code speaks of floods, fiery rain and devastation. The ancient Mayan Calendar also runs out in 2012. Does this mean that the end may be nigh. Many people seem to think so. Some descendants of the Mayan Indians are among those who believe our time on this earth is running out. They have spoken of mankind disappearing. For over 3000 years, the Mayans formed one of the most powerful civilizations. At it's peak in the 10th Century the Mayans covered most of southern Mexico. Suddenly and mysteriously however, this great civilisation vanished.
Through ancient texts, the Mayans have depicted how the Gods created the world, and that time was divided into 5 cycles and that the Gods brought a new world into being at the start of each cycle. However, not satisfied with each of their creations, they bought each cycle to a catastrophic end. The first cycle was the creation of earth and animals, the second cycle was men made of mud, but they were not resilient and were destroyed. The third cycle had people made of wood, these men lived but could not develop and once again were destroyed. Cycle four had people made of Amber, these people also could not survive. The fifth cycle was a man made of blood. But the Mayans believed that even this creation would not be good enough for the gods, and so this cycle that we are living in would end on December 21st 2012
But could the ancient Maya really have foreseen the destruction of our modern metropolis. Could they really have predicted the population rise and the burning of fossil fuels, both affect the climate, and have the potential to bring on climate change.
The Mayan prophecies predicted World War 1, the rise of Hitler and the Boxing Day tsunami. In 2012 they expect a natural disaster to wipeout mankind. Could they be right again?
On December 21st2012, the ancient Mayan calendar stops, some fear a Mayan prophecy of Armageddon will strike on this day. Some who believe this prophecy will come true believe the cause may be from something called pole shifting. A sudden and massive shift in location of the earths crust. Using rock samples taken from opposite sides of the earth, scientists have looked into the possibility that pole shifting has actually happened on earth before. These samples have shown identical movements in the earth's surface, and yet they are on opposite sides of the world, but are evidence that millions of years ago there was a massive shift in the earths crust. So if it happened once, could it happen again, and did the Mayans predict it?
A discovery of ancient Mayan hieroglyphs depict not only their findings for weather and crop cycles, but the final page seems to suggest rain and black clouds in the sky, this is followed by lightning. The last column of the hieroglyphs not only suggests more rain but also the destruction of the earth. All the catastrophes the Maya seemed to experience seem to be due to change of climates, and they were able to record these cycles of climatic change. The climactic event on the very last page of the Mayan hieroglyph suggests, total destruction from the sky bought on by a catastrophic climatic event. This climate obsession seems consistent through Mayan history. They believe the world is made up of 5 cycles, now on the fifth cycle, all previous cycles have started and ended with catastrophic climate changes. Does it now seem too much of a coincidence that we too are also experiencing a climate change - could the ancient Maya have been right after all and is 2012 the time that climatic change brings catastrophe once again?
