Cool Re: The Mayan Prophecies

I loved this material until you mentioned Eric Van Daniken. I don't hold with much
credibility with him. I have also studied Mayan civilization and their calendar. This
talk of ancient astronauts doesn't hold much weight with me.

However, your discussion of the Mayans and their calendar I have interest in. I also
am interested in the Olmecs even though what little we know of them.

The neat thing about 54 years is that is exact amount of time of the Saros cycle of
the moon which is amount of time of the ascending node of moon's orbit around the
Earth to process around 360 degrees. Mayans calendar is and was better at predicting
the brightest/highest point for both Venus and Mars (though Venus was more
important).

Re: The Mayan Prophecies

arijit,
Thanks for sharing this information. However, cutting and pasting large amounts of information from websites in not what we like people to do in this forum. If you get an idea from another site, and you wish to discuss it, that's perfectly fine. We want to hear YOUR ideas, not the cut/paste of someone else's ideas.
This post was taken, in its entirety, from another web site.

If you continue to do this in the future, we will have no choice but to ask you not to post. Thank you for understanding.

By the way, out of curiosity, how do YOU feel about the content of your post? Is it true? Plausible? Possible? A bunch of BS?

In actuality Mayan is not mexican at all, but central american. Yes, where chiapas is located used to be controlled by Guatemala, as well as Belize, until Belize broke away and Mexico took that part of the country over. However, Mayan prophecies is mysterious as it is amazing. I have visited some of the Mayan ruins, and it literally take your breath away. Anyhow, I believe, according to the Mayan prophecies that the calendar ending in 2012 will in fact be the cleansing for all and the entry of the spirit world as they say..

Re: The Mayan Prophecies

i agree somewhat with alxfamlaw on that.

I think the cleansing will begin a couple years prior to 2012 and that after 2012, the new world will be born. But...thats also creeping into religous and prophet properties...we dont need to add that to this scientific brew.

Im not entirely sure about the whole "human DNA" mutating all of a sudden in or around 2012 as apposed to it not mutating or show of mutation prior to this. As far as i know, there hasnt been many scientist who will believe in such a thing.

Re: The Mayan Prophecies

The date December 21st, 2012 A.D. (13.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count), represents an extremely close conjunction of the Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point of the Galactic Equator (Equator of the Milky Way) and the Ecliptic (path of the Sun), what that ancient Maya recognized as the Sacred Tree. This is an event that has been coming to
resonance very slowly over thousands and thousands of years. It will come to resolution at exactly 11:11 am GMT.

Re: The Mayan Prophecies

i find indian histroy far richer and more influencial than central america..

yes they were interesting and perhaps had some impact on human evolution but their barbaric and violent lifestyles is just too objectionable.

other more ancient civilizations had similar understanding of a truer nature of the solar system than europeans did before they did. what other advances did they bring to the rich tapestry of humanity anyway?

bah so they understood galaxies.. not impressed..could they see it?

furthermore

they uinderstood powered flight.. much more impressive for the epoch. but science is still disputing their actual ability to fly. their art points to flying machines of equivelant technology to today but where are the remnants? if they could fly they would have had free reign of their world.. which they didn't.. possibly could they simply have had visions of the future like casey and nostradamus and countless other such peeps in recorded histroy?

wouldn't it be cool if we found mayan styled ruins on mars? (by mayans i mean central american as a whole)
