2012 Understanding the Prophecy of December 21, 2012: A Mayan Age Ends By John Van Auken At present, the year 2012 is only of interest to those of us who believe in the wisdom of ancient cultures. But soon, very soon, everyone is going to be looking for more information about this Mayan prophesied year of destiny, which many believe to be the end of the Mayan calendar and thus the end of time, as we have known it. Let’s look at this calendar and this specific date more closely. The Long Count Calendar Actually, it all began with a discovery that has been known for decades about the culture that invented what is known as the Long Count Calendar. On the Pacific coastal plain of Chiapas, Mexico, a few miles from the Guatemala border, the astrological observatory of the Izapa civilization was located. Some believe that the Izapa were the transitional culture between the older Olmec civilization and the emerging Maya; others believe the Izapa were the Olmecs. For almost a thousand years the Izapa recorded the Long Count Calendar on monuments and ceramic vessels. Most of the dates refer to local, mundane events, like the crowning of a specific king. However, some of the Long Count monuments refer to mythological events that occurred at the beginning of the current “World Age” that we are living in and which is soon coming to an end. The Maya adopted the Izapa calendar, creation myths, and time cycles counting method. Edgar Cayce’s View When asked what the New Age means to …

Yes, I know that, and as I explained, the Aztecs said they got it from the Mayans and used Mayan legends and dating to develop the Sun Disk, or Eagle Bowl, as they called it. John Van Auken
That Calendar it is NOT Mayan , It is Aztec.
Different people , different race and Culture.

Anthony Murphy of Mythical Ireland to speak at the conference at the Newgrange Lodge. In his talk, Brennan called for a revision of what he called the “doomsday scenario” surrounding December 21st 2012, the day on which the Maya long count calendar ends. Brennan, an expert on Maya glyphs and the author of ‘The Hidden Maya’, said there was nothing in the Maya writings about any doomsday, and said the world would continue on as it always had done.
time is relevent
Second half of Van Auken’s reply: due to the precessions of the equinoxes.
However, the Mayan age that begins on December 21, 2012 will last possible a 1,000 years no one knows for sure because the next two ages are prophesied to be shorter than the previous ages. Nostradamus wrote that he saw to the year 3797, which may be the length of the next two ages combined (or roughly 1,785 years after the Winter Solstice of 2012).
Van Auken: There is no specific time – the event goes on for several months. It is as most astrological influences: they begin months before going direct and continue to have an influence months after being direct. The Winter Solstice marks the rough time when the Sun enters directly into the Dark Rift and Galactic Bulge in the Milky Way on 12/21/12 at 23:38 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), and continues to move through this area until it is out of this zone in roughly 35.75 years
12/12/12? which time? GST or US eastern time? You know there are hours in difference. Be more specific.
