Mayan predictions and references to the End of Days
Maya influence can be detected from South America Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and to as far as central Mexico, more than 1000 km (625 miles) from the Maya area.
Ancient South American Mesoamerican Civilization
The Mayan civilization spread all over Southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras, and had influences in many other South American countires.
The Maya never disappeared, even with the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores and the subsequent Spanish colonization of the Americas.
The Maya are well known for the only fully developed written language of the pre-Columbian Americas, as well as its art, architecture, mathematical and astronomical systems.
At its peak, it was one of the most densely populated and culturally dynamic societies in the world. Today, the Maya and their descendants form sizable populations throughout the Maya area and maintain a distinctive set of traditions and beliefs.
Anicent calendars, dates, and ideas. The End of Days?
Among many other accomplishments, the Mayans invented a calendar of remarkable accuracy and complexity for their ancient times.
The Mayan Calendar coincides with the beginning of recorded History. Since then, as a human community, we have been in an ongoing process known as Civilization.
Lets learn more about the calendar itself...
The Maya calendar uses three different dating systems in parallel, the Long Count, the Tzolkin (divine calendar), and the Haab (civil calendar). Of these, only the Haab has a direct relationship to the length of the year.
he Long Count is really a mixed representation of a number, representing the number of days since the start of the Mayan era.
How does the calendar relate to 2012?
The Mayan Calendar appears to end on the last day of the '13th b'ak'tun'. a.k.a. December 21st, 2012. Although there is no actual proof of this, it is widely anticipated that this date could be the 'End of Days'.
