NASA is so sure that the end of the world will not happen on December 21, 2012, that they have already released this news item (in text and video) to the Internet for the day after.
If you're reading this story on December 22nd, that means the world didn't end yesterday. According to the hype in the media, according to the Mayan prophecy, the world was supposed to be destroyed on December 21, 2012. But it didn't happen.
"The whole story originates from a misconception from the beginning," says Dr. John Carlson, director of the Center for Ancient Astronomy at NASA. "The Mayan calendar did not end on December 21, 2012, and no prophecy was given by any of the Mayans according to which the world will be destroyed one day. ” The truth, says Carlson, is more interesting than imagination.
A video illustrates what the Mayans really thought about December 21, 2012
Carlson is a radio astronomer who earned his academic degrees in the study of distant galaxies. He became interested in the 2012 phenomenon in the early seventies when he attended a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and learned about the lost Mayan civilization.
Where the rainforest of Mesoamerica stands, a great civilization once flourished. The members of the Miao culture built great cities, impressive temples and towering pyramids. In their peak years, around 800 AD, their population was over 2,000 people per square mile in cities, similar to today's Los Angeles County. The Mayans specialized in astronomy and developed an advanced written language and left behind many artifacts.
What impressed Carlson was the Mayans' precious sense of time. "The Mayans used all the time scales we use in modern astronomy" he explains. According to our scientists, the big bang happened 13.7 billion years ago. The Mayans referred in their writings to ancient periods a billion times older than the age of the universe as we know it today. Their long term calendar is designed to track long time intervals. "This is the most complex calendar developed by humans anywhere on Earth."
They used modern typography for writing. Their long range board is reminiscent of the speedometer in a car. It is based on a base 20 counting system, and each alternate digit represents 20 days. Because the digits alternate, the board can roll and repeat itself. These repetitions are the key to the 2012 phenomenon.
According to Mayan theology, the world was created 5,215 years ago, a date that today translates to August 11, 3114 BC. At that time the Mayan calendar would look like this: 13.0.0.0.0. On December 21st it looked exactly the same: 13.0.0.0.0
In the language of the Mayan writers, 13 Bactons or 13 times 144,000 days passed between these two dates. This is a significant time interval in the Mayan religion, but according to Carlson, not one that involves destruction. In none of the thousands of fragments, pottery and milestones, did the archaeologists find a prediction of the end of the world.
Today's scientists agree with them. NASA experts gathered in a virtual meeting using Google hangout to share their findings with the public.
Don Yeomans, head of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program, says that no known asteroid or comet is on a collision course with Earth. Nor does any transiting planet make its way toward Earth.
"If an object the size of a planet were to make its way to Earth," says NASA astrobiologist David Morrison, "it would already be one of the brightest objects in the sky. Everyone on Earth would see him. You don't need to ask for permission from the government, just go out and look. theres nothing."
Lika Guhatkora, head of the "Live with the Star" program says that the sun is not a threat either, as claimed in some of the predictions that were circulated before the fateful date. "The sun has been burning for billions of years - long before the Mayans even existed - and has never caused the destruction of the earth."
"Currently the sun is approaching its maximum in the 11-year cycle of activity." she adds. "However, this is one of the weakest cycles in the last fifty years. Reports to the contrary are exaggerated.”
What do the Mayans think of all the commotion? Carlson thinks he knows the answer.
"If we were to jump back in time to the Mayans from the heyday of this culture to the present day, they would say that December 21, 2012 is an important date. Many Mayans believed that their gods created the world 5,125 years ago and would return. One of them in particular is an enigmatic deity named Bolon Yokte' K'uh (Bolon Yokte' K'uh) who is going to oversee the transition and arrange space and time in their proper order, and reorganize the universe." According to this belief the world will be refreshed, not destroyed. "I have been waiting to experience this date for over 30 years" he says.
For him, experiencing December 21, 2012 means visiting the Mayan homeland in Yucatan, Mexico, and thinking about what would have happened there at the height of the Mayan culture, when ancient humans used expansions of the orders of magnitude of time, for long periods beyond modern horizons.

Lectures following the non-arrival of the end of the world
The day after (December 22.12.12, 21), Nir Lahav will speak at the Haifa Cinematheque at 00:23.12.12 to celebrate how we once again survived the end of the world. Two days later (19/30/3.1.13 Sunday) we will meet at Tel Aviv Cinematheque at 13.1.13:17.1.13 on XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX, Rosh Pina Cinematheque and Sderot Cinematheque on XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX and Holon Cinematheque on XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX..

Pay attention - also for the Maya the world exists for 5215 years.
interesting !!!!
Bolon Yokta will return and so will Mashiach ben David, apparently both will come in the same spaceship.
Not kidding.
Say are you okay?!
These were people who bowed down to the statue and thought it was a god and you are like idiots, wasting air and memory cells in your brain on vanity and emptiness and collecting stories of a thousand and one nights. There is a chance that your level of intelligence dropped dramatically after reading the above article, and if you believe it, you are more stupid than those idolaters.
I hope and pray and wish for their sanity a complete recovery.
Humans are fools.
Wow, it's a fact that it's 20:27 and we're still safe and sound!
Wait, wait, give it a chance!!!! There are still 5 and a half hours to destruction... and if not... wait a minute, actually we have to calculate according to Guatemala time and there the time seems to be 11 in the morning, so there is still a chance for destruction.
In the name of all the "cuckoos", the fools, the fools, the idiots, the "newbies" and the rest of the loosers.

How exactly does a book prove itself??
"Everything that happened happened" - an empty expression...
How about the sentence: "Prove that your grandfather's grandfather was!" Is it an answer to something?
Maybe think before you write? The world is going to be destroyed soon - so hurry up!!!!
Reply to confidential 🙂
If I understood correctly, you are the type of person who says "I don't believe what I don't see"
What is the problem with proving if there is an afterlife?????
Answer: Prove that your grandfather's grandfather was!
There was one scientist, one of the greats, who studied evolution... how the world was created, etc
He once said - the scientists will come one day and they will reach the top and show...
Explanation: "It's similar to one person who wanted to be the first to conquer some high mountain... he climbed... and climbed... she reached the top of the peak, saw people there with suits, hats and tassels, they said to him... you've finally arrived... the end...
There is one book that has beaten itself for 5780 years, everything that happened happened. So why believe grandmother's stories!
Ask Amichai, it is written in his response. I didn't understand what he meant either.
Confidential 🙂
"Prove that there is something beyond religion" - what do you mean?
Amichai, you stated a fact without proving it. As we draw conclusions, you will prove that there is something that is beyond religion (if it is higher worlds, a higher god, heaven, the next world, aliens), that exists millions of years before us and whose technology is more advanced than ours.
Amichai
What are you talking about? Are you making something up and drawing conclusions from it?
1. I was the only one who noticed that apart from the time that the numerologists and astrologers put for this day (which is 11:11), no time was actually set?
2. What is happening in New Zealand right now? There right now 21.12.2012/9/31, the time is XNUMX:XNUMX if I'm not mistaken.
Higher worlds, God, there is something. [and this is beyond religion] that exist millions of years before us. Which means that their technology is millions of years ahead of ours. From here you can draw conclusions.
Amichai
Do you really think there is a God?
Jobo
You're kidding, are not you?
How much nonsense do the "Mayans" speak. Those who think that tomorrow the world will be destroyed are idiots
"Vata Thora and drank to Maya."
hehe
Have you heard of the term "illustration" (imaging)?
Jobo, if the Mayan gods are real, surely the Greek and Roman gods are too, right?
I got confused, I meant that "and it is supposed to arrive only on 21.12.12, so explain how it is possible to photograph the future!!!
I don't understand how you all talk in such scientific terms, what are you, first class scientists?
And I don't understand how you can believe such nonsense!!! After all, this is complete nonsense, for example: Google has a million photos of the asteroid hitting the Earth, how can you photograph the future? After all, long before 10.12.12 there were pictures of the asteroid on Google, and it is only supposed to arrive on 21.12.12, so explain how it is possible to photograph the past!!!! And if some of you say that the asteroid will arrive on 21.12.2112, then it doesn't make sense at all!!!! Think a little before you write something!!
How exactly are the gods revealed by the fact that what should not have happened did not happen? Explain the logic to me
Laugh, but the Mayan Gods are real!!! Tomorrow crowds are expected to perform naked dancing and singing ceremonies at Mayan sites to ask forgiveness from the gods. So if the world does not disappear you will know that the Mayan gods listened and therefore this is proof that they are real and even Abi Blizovsky will have to accept their curse.
Dear Jews
For fear the prophecy was given only to fools and Jews and not to worshipers of idols and idols
Sleep well at night, at most you will hear thunder and see lightning
I don't understand the arrogance of all of you - in any case, I will sleep in the shelter tonight and hope to see some of you tomorrow as well
Here is a piece of news from today, which makes it clear that there is no lack of idiots/fools/shitholes in our world:
Suspicion: vandalized David's tomb to find a match
A 30-year-old ultra-Orthodox was arrested when he smashed tiles around King David's tomb in Jerusalem • According to him, he was told that his prayer would only be answered if he prayed directly to the stone
Remember the end of the millennium??? Even then there were millions of fools who prepared themselves for catastrophes of no less variety than today. There were also several dozen who committed suicide "just to be safe"...
He said that idiots don't die - they just change.
In the book of Genesis it is written after he created the world and Adam and Eve and placed them in paradise where there was the tree of life and the tree of knowledge if they ate from the tree of life this is what they are trying to achieve today the scientists the scientists would live forever but the choice was ultimately to eat from the tree of knowledge and try for thousands of years to learn the secret of eternal life when it was at hand and now in my personal opinion until the scientists reach the secret of the tree of life through the tree of knowledge the world will start over due to wars. due to pride. due to ego. etc. hope for the best.
WTF ???
I can't believe we didn't destroy anything, I took a crazy loan on the black market.
She and I broke up in Vegas...
The truth can be said that I did not delve into the scientific achievements of the Mayans but there is one thing that I remember. They had no wheels.
I just heard that the whole thing is indeed fundamentally wrong, as Carlson claims. Originally it should have been 21.12.2112 which can be read as 21122112 in both directions, which is known to cause a terrible clash between the forces of light and darkness. But Thora, the confused editor of Maya Todi, was a little drunk and mistakenly wrote 2012. As it is said: And I will Thora and drink to Maya.
In short, there are another hundred years of silence.
A heavy fog hides the truth from you. Have you ever thought that you are not asking the right questions? And where does your absolute confidence come from that there is no God. That's the God should be the question. Good luck
The mistake: in the second line below the video "lost" and not "work".
The question: Why the hell do we even treat the Mayan culture as if its people knew something we don't?! Something on the scale of the end of the world, not of jungle hunting methods...
With all due respect to this culture, which was indeed developed for its time and impressive in many respects, its "scientific" achievements did not come close to those of our civilization - and therefore it seems strange to me to engage so seriously in prophecy (which, as mentioned, was invented by supporters of various conspiracy theories) that is not based on Nothing, actually.
I understand (and sympathize with) the writer's need to ridicule all those I-don't-want-to-write-here-what believes in this illusory "prophecy", but still - too much credit is given, in my opinion, to the Mayans.
Regarding 4 I can agree with you - they did not exist, the Jewish-Christian-Muslim God also exists only in the imagination of the believers who each thinks is his authentic representative.
1. Is anything known about bouillon yucta yoch?
2. If the Maya based their calendar to count in periods of billions of years, why did they believe that the world was created 5,125.26 years ago?
3. What is meant by "according to this faith the world will be refreshed, not destroyed"?
4. Who said the Mayan gods even exist?
