In honor of the beginning of the year 2012, an expert on the Mayan tribe in Guatemala was asked if this is the last year of our existence, and he answered: The end of the world will not come in December 2012. There is no evidence for this in the Mayan writings
Correspondent in the tourism section of the British newspaper Guardian, Kevin Rushby, recently visited the site of the Mayan tribe. In an article published on Friday, December 30, he describes a conversation with two experts. One is a shaman in the city of Chichi and the other is an expert living in Guatemala City.
On top of Pascual Hill near the city of Chichicadanango or Chichi for its inhabitants, he meets Don Diego, a Mayan shaman who told him that the Mayans loved to deal with numbers and time. They counted in multiples of 20 - about the number of fingers and toes together and they also considered all the joints in the body - 13 in number. Multiplying the two numbers gave 260 days, the time it takes to grow corn or complete a human pregnancy.
In Guatemala City, he met with Antonio Cochil, a Mayan man and an expert on the Mayan calendar, who explained that the year 2012 was mentioned in Mayan writings only once - on a stone engraving dating from around 700 AD and discovered in Mexico. "It is indeed the end of the 5,126-year cycle, indeed it is true, but there is no prediction of the end of the world in it. It seems that people took the idea from the Dresden Codex - a volume of Mayan letters from the pre-Columbian period kept in the Dresden city library in Germany, but in that codex there is no link to 2012." Probably people with some messianic background put these two separate records together and developed the doomsday script from them.
The Washington Post also singled out the subject of an article this week (27/12/2011) And in it he mentions that the morning news has all kinds of crazy people predicting the end of the world. Just in the last year, the religious broadcaster Harold Camping predicted the end of the world for the end of May, and when the world was left hanging, he postponed it to October.
"What makes Judgment Day 2012 special is the connection to the Mayans, of all the indigenous cultures in America, the Mayans captured the public imagination. It was a mysterious culture that disappeared into the tropical forest of Central America and took the vast knowledge, which is only now beginning to be revealed.
Interest in the Maya is increasing as their gates are excavated and interesting findings are found, just as in the 19th and early 20th centuries there was enormous interest in the West in ancient Egypt excavated by archaeologists. The article stated that the many writings of the Mayans during the peak years of their culture dealt with history and did not include any prediction about the end of the world, neither when nor if there would be such an end. If there were nations that prophesied apocalyptic prophecies, they were the nations of Europe in the Middle Ages."
As mentioned, there is no evidence that the world will come to an end according to the Mayans. Scholars from a variety of disciplines have dismissed the idea that a series of apocalyptic events will occur in 2012. An expert in the Mayan field commented that the doomsday prophecies did not appear in the Mayan writings and that even the argument that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 is a wrong interpretation of the history and culture of the Maya. Other scientific astronomers have dismissed all predicted events as pseudoscience, commenting that they contradict even simple astronomical observations.
Nibiru - an act that never happened
One of the common claims regarding the end of the world deals with Nibiru or Planet X allegedly making its way towards Earth. Nancy Leader, a self-proclaimed Nibiru expert, who claims contact with Zeta Reticuli aliens predicted mass disasters as a result of Nibiru's approach in May 2003 and postponed it to December 21, 2012. However, there is no evidence of Nibiru's existence.
"Nibiru or any large body supposedly making its way towards Earth simply does not exist and has never existed. It exists only in the imagination of pseudo-scientists who are not bothered by the question of the complete lack of evidence," says astronomer Don Yeomans, head of the Near-Earth Object Program at NASA. "If such a planet was making its way to Earth to collide on December 21, 2012, it would already be visible to the naked eye."
Cosmic alignment
Some are concerned that planets or stars may align in such a way as to cause effects on Earth. Some argue that from our vantage point the Sun will cross the galactic plane on December 21st. And yet the sun did exactly that twice every year. The Sun will also cross the galactic plane, but the Sun is currently 67 light-years away from the galactic plane, so it will take several million years to do so, Yeomans says. And even when she does, nothing will happen.
Another claim is that the gravitational influence of the aligning planets will affect the Earth. However, no alignment is expected on December 21, 2012, and even when there is such an alignment, nothing will happen to the earth and its inhabitants. During the millions of years of history we experienced many alignments and nothing happened, what's more the only relevant bodies are the sun and the moon and we feel their influence in the tide cycles on a daily basis all the other bodies in the solar system - their influence on us is negligible.
sun storms
Solar storms occur frequently, especially at the peak of the 11-year cycle when ionized particles collide with the Earth and create the aurora borealis phenomenon and in extreme cases cause damage to satellites and high voltage power lines. There was a strong solar storm in 1859 but then it did not cause any damage, the fear is that today such a storm will paralyze the electricity and electronics. However, there is no forecast for a strong storm on December 21. The peak of solar storms is expected six months later.
The reversal of the poles
Various rumors talk about the reversal of the poles - either the geographic poles that mark the earth's axis of rotation or the magnetic poles to which the compasses are directed, but there is no reason for this. The moon stabilizes the rotation of the earth, so the geographic poles will no longer change. As for the magnetic poles - these reverse once every 500 thousand years, and not suddenly, but in a process that lasts several thousand years. And again there is no evidence of such a switch on December 21, 2012. Again, even when it happens, there will be no inconvenience other than having to adjust our compasses to point south instead of north.
Asteroid collision
Earth is vulnerable to impacts from comets and asteroids, but major impacts are rare. The last major impact occurred 65 million years ago and ended the age of the dinosaurs. Astronomers are watching all over the sky for near-Earth objects, and none of them are expected to cause damage to Earth in the coming year.
According to Yeomans, all of this stems from scientific ignorance in the general public and from the fact that scientists are not sufficiently engaged in repelling pseudo-scientific arguments.

What's wrong"?
לא נכון
I heard they hope it might bring them more tourists, but I don't think they're celebrating because of the money. In any case, how do you compare the Mayan calendar (which is a long calendar) and the Gregorian calendar?
Confidential Have you ever heard the term money?
Millions of tourists come to them because of this story, why not celebrate?
And what about the Mayans? If they didn't expect anything and don't believe the 2012 theories, why are they celebrating?
Unfortunately, there is not enough space in insane asylums, so there are crazy people walking around freely.
Uri, some don't believe this is the end. Another belief is that the earth will be in complete darkness for 3 days, and the use of electricity will not be possible. No moon, no sun and no other stars are visible. The claim is that this will happen as part of the transition process of the earth to the fifth world (and I'm not sure that it has to do with the Mayan tribe, it sounds like a New Age prophecy). The thing is, there are quite a few people who believe in this, and distribute many videos and articles about it.
I so want to see the next day the reactions of all the fools who ran all over the internet and tried to convince everyone that on this date the world will end. I wonder what their reaction will be when they realize that they made fun of themselves and the world is still standing.
I am now going to keep in my favorites some of the main sites that preach on the subject, I want to see what will be written on them on the morning of the 22nd of the month.
Apparently the believers of this theory are really serious about it. There is a website that explains about this theory, and that one should fast or something like that, and in addition, they also explain how it will start. But all in all Ronald Wineland claims that Jesus will return on 27.05.12 and that there will be an apocalypse or whatever. Father, what do you think about this?
No, it's some prediction that I don't really know what it's about, but Reverend Ronald Wineland predicts it. He predicts that the end of the world will somehow come on 27.05.2012, and that Jesus will return to earth, something like that.
We haven't heard, was this date set so that we don't have to deal with the anti-Semitic text messages at the Eurovision Song Contest that will take place the next day?
Tell me, did you hear that Pastor Ronald Wineland predicts the end of the world on 27.05.2012?
AM, if who can I talk to but you?
Now, seriously: I was very hurt and am still hurt by the rampant progress. Four times I had to move because roads and bridges were paved near the places where I lived. I wrote letters to the mayors and even the prime minister, but to no avail.
RH points to "good" achievements and you point to "bad" points. You are both right, but this process is bigger than you and me and all of humanity.
Yuval, go pose for someone else!!!
A.M.,
It is clear that progress will stop in May 2013, but this is only a temporary stop. We should not rely on external parties to do the work for us. If we do not take drastic measures, the progress will start again and in a short time will even be stronger than ever before. We must work tirelessly and do everything so that the blow that falls on her is crushing and that after it she does not raise her head. Time is short. We only have a year and a month to prepare. Stop talking! Start actions! forward! We will destroy progress! We will blow up the internet (except for the science site - because it is the subject of our shofar)! We will poison the oil wells! We will burn the cornfields that provide ethanol fuel! Let's go back to mineral fuel...
I'm out of air. I need a moment to rest. Please continue this line of thought
You can laugh at me as much as you want. In May 2013, when the strong solar storm comes, progress will stop, and it will be a punishment from heaven for all the crimes it has caused.
Let me understand, are you indecisive about me or what?? So why did you write about R.H. that he poisons wells??
A.M.
Let us sharpen the wheels of justice so that they grind as quickly as possible and spread justice to the whole world quickly. We will eliminate anyone who stands in the way of justice, we will develop an effective weapon for righteous mass destruction, we will build super-fast righteous supercomputers, we will righteously supervise all of humanity, we will expand the righteous databases to the maximum possible, we will perfect the electronic media so that we can broadcast to all human beings Our righteous words directly into their minds... and that's just the beginning...
What do you think of this platform of the Justice Party?
Who knows who said: today's youth is lazy, lacks morals and values, and only pursues pleasures?
Yuval, thanks for the reinforcements! Really, I'm already dying for the wheels of justice to grind as quickly as possible, and publish it!
AM, don't settle for this small stage. Get out into the wide world!
You must preach in the open air! Carve flames in squares! Establish an international movement! Recruit volunteers all over the world! Don't rest and don't be quiet until all those who seek progress, wherever they are, repent!
Don't let poisoners of wells like RH take the wind out of your sails. Continue on this path, and justice will surely prevail.
R.H. How can you compare everything you mentioned above, compared to all the materialism that exists today among the entire population?
The country was more socialist, people were more humane. As I mentioned, then there was a brotherhood of bad guys, and today man to man and wolf.
Where did such a thing exist, that a relationship would be based only on money??? A good guy, and from a good family would simply kidnap him for the wedding.
Even when couples would go out to spend time before the wedding, they would do so on buses. No one made an issue of it. If someone would order someone for a taxi it would be something grandiose.
Today, if you don't have a car, no one will look at you.
So young couples would easily close a mortgage. It is even enough that the husband works, and the wife is a housewife.
Today both spouses work, earn minimum wage, and do not even manage to live in rent, and many are forced to live with their parents. After all, what was the tent protest about, and rightly so? Shchad has reached 4000 NIS a month, and people cannot afford it. They even said and declared: "We want the country of the past".
I can only tell you that regarding the austerity period, many people miss it.
A.M
Oh I see, you miss the 50's and XNUMX's and not the teenage years? And you assume that then there was no corruption and no pursuit of money?
Have you heard of the Phoenician corruption? The laundry business? Political persecution of Issar Harel? Do you think the sailors' mutiny, the Wadi Salib riots, and the Black Panthers were all out of sheer happiness? The military regime in the Arab villages? Austerity in the 50s?
And that's only in Israel. In the world in those years there was the missile crisis which was the closest point ever to its destruction, the Korean War, the Vietnam War. The student riots. Half the world is ruled by a dark, cruel and oppressive communist regime that has resulted in the death of millions.
Nostalgia indeed... what fun it was.
And I haven't mentioned the disco in our ears.
A.M. Maybe there is something in your words. See
http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%90%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%A9
Note also the fundamental difference between the Amish and the ultra-Orthodox in Israel, despite the similar outer clothing:
An important evidence of the independence of the Amish from their environment is the fact that they do not want/are willing to receive any service or budget from the state and do not receive unemployment benefits, welfare and medical insurance. This has become a theological principle for them - they seek to live from their labor and when necessary they take care of the members of the sect in a family and community setting. Their approach is expressed in their refusal to need any type of insurance, whether national or medical, and they have a special arrangement regarding taxes. They also don't have bank accounts, savings, etc. And all their profits are invested in the economy.
Isaac Asimov once wrote to all those who argued that it might be worth giving up the reasons for science and returning to the peace of the Middle Ages, "Before the machines were invented, everything was done by slaves, and if we were to go back to the Middle Ages, maybe we would be the slaves?"
In the 50s to the 70s in the country's history, for example, people worked hard in agriculture but were as healthy as oxen. They didn't know what diseases were at all! Even the buses had no passengers. They would walk to and from work.
R.H. Is all the corruption of today's progress so good? And all this pig capitalism? And all the other privatizations they do? And that there is hatred and jealousy between the poor and the rich? And all this free hate?
Once upon a time there was a brotherhood of evil in the country. Today man to man werewolf.
Today a man will sell his brother for a shekel. Relationships today are based solely on financial interest and nothing else.
There is no realness. Again I repeat and emphasize: everything is morally degenerate. There is no value to a working life, the good qualities of a person, everything is only about money. money money money!!! Just disgusting!!!
A.M.
When exactly is life simple? When 95% of the world worked like donkeys in agriculture? When people had to give birth to 8 children on average because 4 of them died? When most of the world was illiterate because there was no time to study? When women only sat at home?
When life expectancy was 40? When people were crucified, burned or just killed by the sword because they didn't believe in the right religion? When a million women were burned because they were suspected of witchcraft?
There is an increase in diabetes and blood pressure because these are diseases of abundance which show that the standard of living is very high today. They used to die of dysentery, tuberculosis, smallpox and the like, do you think it's better?
Today, chronic diseases are more common than in the past. Progress has caused many people problems and mental stress, there is a large increase in the percentage of morbidity such as diabetes and blood pressure for example, something that hardly existed when life was simple.
On the other hand, life expectancy has doubled and more, people are also healthier thanks to discoveries such as penicillin and vaccines.
As a result of progress the whole world has become materialistic. There is no moral value left, not for working life, not for anything. A person today is only measured by his money and his brands. A terribly corrupt, immoral, anti-social thing and also terribly disgusting!
Humans have lost all human image, and have become animals walking on two!
Shame, just shame!
How exactly did progress cause the corruption of humanity?
two things:
First of all, in a secret military base in Alaska, scientific experiments are conducted, which cause changes in the climate and natural disasters all over the world. Do a Google search for HAARP. The goal of the project is to create what is called a "NEW WORLD ORDER".
Secondly, the strong solar storm that happened in 1859 and how it caused the damage. It totally overthrew the primitive telegraph network that existed at the time.
According to NASA, and note that this is according to professional scientists and not amateurs, a strong solar storm is expected to happen in May 2013.
This will cause the collapse of almost all communication infrastructures, and even 50% of the world will be left without electricity!
Progress advanced by leaps and bounds, and caused the corruption of humanity. Most likely, at least that's what I assume, in May 2013 she will stop and rightly so!
I have no way to ask him and that's the problem.
Ask him, it seems to me that he just wanted to laugh at those who believe in this nonsense.
Regarding 2. Add to the 12 that a year is another 60 billion years, and considering that the earth will not exist in another 10 billion, we have nothing to worry about.
Father, if NASA or any other space agency does not hide information from the public:
1. Why did a point choose to specify the date 16.03.12 in his response? Just threw a date in the air?
2. According to what you know about black holes that are close to our solar system, is there any reason to worry about the date 16.03.12 and in general, in the next century?
Confidential, I can be responsible for my own words, not those of anonymous commenters.
That is, there is not much time until his forecast and I ask if there is a reason to be worried.
confidential (:
Point is a doppelgänger. Chutsamza, there are only 29 days left to check his forecast. Let's wait patiently
In the response it is written that our solar system is very close to a giant black hole, and that everyone is diverting the information from the matter. (to prevent public panic, as in the Nibiru theory)
It is known that every time they said that NASA was hiding information from us, NASA proved to be right in the matter and they did not hide anything, because in fact, there was nothing to hide.
The problem is that in case NASA does hide information, no one will believe all the conspirators anymore.
Absolutely not, there is no black hole many light years away from the solar system, that is trillions upon trillions of kilometers, this is another piece of nonsense that someone has thrown into the air.
Yuval, here is the source of the response:
https://www.hayadan.org.il/nibiru-and-doomsday-2012-questions-and-answers-0911094/
Response #2.
Is there any truth in this response?
Hello Yuval.
Before I post, it's worth noting that this response was taken from another letter dealing with the 2012 craze on the "Hidan" website (perhaps it's a bit confusing when I say "on the website about 2012").
Confidential 🙂
Please provide an exact link to the response and the source of the commenter. These things seem like a hodgepodge of nonsense
Hi, can someone give me an answer to my question? ^^
Hi Abi, I found this comment in a previous article on the website about 2012 - "Regarding 2012, everyone is diverting the information from the bitter truth that astronomers have known for 15 years. The solar system (which revolves around the Milky Way) is approaching a supermassive black hole that is traveling exactly on this path in the opposite direction. The date of the meeting is already known in detail. The most recent calculations give the date of Friday, March 16, 2012 at two o'clock in the afternoon Israel time plus or minus 5 hours."
16.03.12/21.12.2012/XNUMX is a slightly closer date than XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX, and this response does not seem like an invention to me. Is there any truth in this response?
Why does everyone say the end of the world, the end of the world, especially the Mayan tribe, they are just liars
A. Ben Ner,
Do you have an interesting story that you are willing to share with us?
From my relative perspective, the world was destroyed in December 1973 and rebuilt in October 1986.
Whoever claims that there is an internal contradiction in my words, because otherwise the counting of time continued.
Well he is only apparently right. Isn't it possible that there was a mistake in counting the time? NL-ILU-SO-MACH
Nice of you, Adi. Successfully.
I asked about the hand because of my comment in another article, which refers to the hemispheres of the brain and intuitive talents.
Yuval and others, thanks for the responses, I write with my right hand, yes, it's a bit of a hassle to upload the whole episode to the internet
But these days I'm finishing writing a new book, very different from the book I published before, which until now was the only one.
In my new book, which I estimate will be published in about four months, there is an imaginary mystery story related to archeology in Israel. It is indeed an innovative genre in my opinion that is also going to be published in an innovative format on the Internet.
Adi
The thought that it is possible to clarify and define the intentional causes of what has been done in the past, present and future in the human world in some sense, is ridiculous in my opinion.
On the other hand, we are all constantly trying to find an explanation and also express bewilderment from morning to night, such as: how is it possible that the stock market fell, that extremism is increasing, that he came to power, that they started a war where people are dying of hunger, that it was a thief, that it was murder, that he betrayed, and on and on, ad infinitum.
Maybe it's hard for us to accept that there is no security, no planning, no control, no logic, the future is simply unknown,
The human world in the natural world is much more unpredictable than in the quantum world.
In line = communication
Yaffe Adi, although this is probably the only book you published...
In any case, you hit the line and the computers pretty well... but not so much in the rest... the most noticeable mistake:
"It will be a world with two main centers of power: the government, the world-embracing establishment - on the one hand, and religion - on the other."
This is not true and besides the fact that the examples you gave are indirectly related... and in general before you wrote the book this sentence was more correct
Adi Zohar,
Would it be a big hassle for you to put this episode online?
I am interested to see how "outside the box" thinking works.
By the way, which hand do you write with?
In 1984, when I was 22 years old, a book I had written two years before was published, entitled: "God is not what it used to be - a guide for survival in the 21st century" by "Saar" publishing house. In my book there is a chapter called "The Continuation" in which there are predictions for the future:
Communication p. 66 "The development of communication in giant strides, something that greatly affected our lives." "It is the media that influences the extent of our involvement in everything that is done on our planet." "...one of the most influential factors in our society."
p. 67 "We are still moving forward in the age of communication. Communication can still be improved technologically." "The more we improve it, the greater the involvement of the individual in the life of society."
p. 73 "With very little effort, man will be able to talk and see his friend on the other side of the earth. The communication centers will receive information from all over the world and transmit to each of their subscribers the information that interests them. For example: a businessman will be able to be involved in the happenings of any stock exchange in the world."
p. 74 "It is important to consider the economic effect this phenomenon will have: any change - even the smallest, on one side of our world will be followed by an immediate global chain of reactions."
Pelephone was established in 1986, Cellcom in 1994, the Internet began in 1991, cable television infrastructure began to be deployed in Israel in 1990, in 1987 on Black Monday all the world's stock markets fell at once, the Facebook revolutions, the social protests, the million demonstrations, and the Arab Spring are new phenomena.
Technology p. 68 "...man's best friend: the computer." The world of computers is a world that is developing and growing at a tremendous pace and in giant steps." "Today the computer industry has gained its own momentum and it can no longer be stopped." "There is no doubt that programmers, planners and computer engineers are the people who will dictate our way of life in the future."
The state-of-the-art computer in 1984 was the XT 5160, CGA screens in green, white, purple and black colors, large diskettes, the same year the Apple company launches the first Macintosh that has a mouse and a graphic interface.
Identity crisis p. 70 "The return to religion is the dominant and largest group in our time, from various humanist groups in Islam, through the converts in Judaism to various religious groups, new glimpses of the mornings." "This phenomenon of an identity crisis is one of the main obstacles to the rapid and progressive development of the society in which we live. This is a potentially fatal phenomenon…”
Hezbollah was established in 1985, Hamas was established in 1987, Al Qaeda was established as a global Sunni Islamic terrorist organization in 1988, in 2001 it was attacked in the Twin Towers.
Religion and regime p. 79 "The centralization of information by computer systems will result in the ability to control, and the actual control of one central body... the power that will be in his hands will give him the power to rule over the entire world... the government will be more centralized... a government that encompasses and embraces the world."
p. 80 "It will be a world with two main centers of power: the government, the world-embracing establishment - on the one hand, and religion - on the other."
In 1989 the Berlin Wall fell, in 1991 the USSR disintegrated, since then until recently the USA ruled the world as the sole ruler. In 1991, the US began its war in Iraq, in 2003 the US-led coalition forces invaded Iraq again, following the attack on the Twin Towers in 2001, the US invaded Afghanistan with the cooperation of NATO. The countries of Iraq, Afghanistan and later Syria and Iran were defined by the US as the "axis of evil" of radical Islam.
I don't care if the world ends or not.
More interesting is whether the reindeer see ultraviolet or not.
Really, the site of knowledge. You are too humane (religious)
Just to be clear about the previous response - all the contracts are always right (regarding some reality) you just need to ask them to specify ultra cosmic coordinates for the forecast (the second reality from the left in the 23rd universe from the right, 5111 years after the creation of the world by [specify name]...)
If this is the end, at least you have to go with a smile 🙂
to the people
All endings happen somewhere sometime (in multiple realities). We think we think in one time line, imagine the frustration of the contracts to predict a future that is constantly moving... (and we haven't put 11 dimensions into the equation yet...)
Phew and I was already scared... Lucky there are articles like this...
to the other self
This will be determined after the date has passed and will result from the attempt to justify the "end" in retrospect.
And I hope that there will be no Argentine goalkeepers who retire from active play this time.
Who is willing to define what the end of the world is?
The end of the whole earth?
The end of human civilization?
The end of the debt-based economy?
The end of the era of dictators?
The end of the tycoon era?
The end of life as we know it and a new beginning?
From an in-depth look at the news sites, it seems to me that a lot of endings are happening in this period. Some are even very dramatic.
come on…
And if there was a reference for it in the Mayan writings?? So what?
I already explained to you that quantity of nonsense does not translate into quality, so it's a shame to repeat it. As Yeomans explained - none of these things have a scientific basis.
I strongly recommend everyone to read this article and those who are still afraid to enter Hoax2012, it is highly recommended.
Father, even though the Mayans claim it's nonsense, they have a big celebration. In addition, people talk about very strange events, and not the popular ones mentioned here, events like darkness on 21.12.2012 (the sun will not rise), 3 days without gravity, the end of linear time...
So... Happy New Year everyone! 🙂
