2012

Darkest Hour · 07-22-2009, 12:54 AM

Check this video out if you have time. It's the most interesting thing i've heard about 2012 so far. The problem is once again, you can never tell where he gets his facts from. It seems to me that this is legit by the way he presents himself backing everything he says with scientific facts, but i wonder if he is just making it up.

I agree. It's all bullcrap to me. Their calender wasn't the same as ours anyway, so their 2012 may have already passed.

It's funny how an ancient civilization can predict the end of the world, but can't prevent themselves from disappearing.

close minded argument. They never predicted the end of the world. They knew something we didn't about these cycles because they were just as smart as us, just without the technology we have.

So what do you call the human sacrafices?

they don't sacrifice humans anymore.

for those of you that are curious, i went to Guatemala for about two weeks this summer and actually had a chance to interact with ethnic Mayans, people whose beliefs are still indentured in traditional Mayan religion.

the religion itself resembles pagan cultures of eastern Europe, with very similar belief structures directed towards the four corners of the earth. throughout the religion there is a strong correlation between the human spirit and the Earth from which that spirit is blessed, and many of their ceremonies worship this interminable connection.

while i was there i managed to ascend to a Mayan highplace, which is a small building with an altar where practitioners sacrifice animal and crop offerings. there was a pink cross which marked the highplace (resembling the Christian cross very closely), bearing reference to the four corners of the earth.

although almost the entire population of Guatemala is ethnic Mayan, only few of the oldest generation still harbor beliefs about the "end of days" which supposedly plagues the end of the Mayan calender. for the most part it's a developing nation which seeks to industrialize while maintaining the Mayan heritage from which the peoples have descended.

probably due to the fact that they're still around today, just not on top of the pile anymore.

Who brought Saudi Arabia into this? I was saying the ancient Mayans weren't as smart as we are today, hows that claim invalid?
