A subject that has not finished talking about him... But in any case, whatever the outcome, we should be quickly fixed...
Here is an excellent article published on the citizen information site Agoravox.tv on the year 2012 and the alleged predictions of the end of the world by the Mayan civilization.
However, we will bring a caveat: what matters most in all this symbolism is not so much the predictions themselves, false or proven, but the interpretation and use that the networks in Power make of them!
A crucial subject in the study of neo-millenarian small groups, whether they are lost in the pampas or hyper-powerful and infiltrated in the highest spheres of power, but which is unfortunately not mentioned in this article.
This reservation being recalled, let us return to this excellent article published published on Agoravox.tv by "Stupor » :
“If December 2012 is only the end of one of the Mayan calendar cycles, then the soufflé will finally be able to fall, about this famous “End of the world predicted by the Mayas”, which is causing so much talk.
And so, let's take the opportunity all the same to evoke this civilization (1) whose culture shone for several millennia, with its exceptional knowledge in mathematics, astronomy and an astonishing artistic richness. The remains of the city-states (Copán, Tikal or Palenque) and their pyramidal constructions (step pyramids) dotted with glyphs, are gradually releasing the secrets of a fascinating civilization and its brutal collapse (2).

Video: The end of the world is not for 2012. American archaeologists have discovered in Guatemala the oldest Mayan astronomical calendars dating from the IXe century, which do not announce the end of the world in 2012 (BFM TV)
“In March 2010, a member of W. Saturno's team, student Maxwell Chamberlain, noticed hieroglyphs on a wall in one of the buildings at the Xultun site. After several excavations, three intact pieces were unearthed. Each wall is covered with inscriptions. Paintings of human figures – including a Maya king – and vertical columns of Maya numbers sit side by side. The first digital analyzes show that five of these columns are completed with hieroglyphs which designate lunar data. It would be a cyclical calendar, mainly involving the planets Mars and Venus. »

"These are the 260-day ceremonial calendar, the 365-day solar calendar as well as the 584-day annual cycle of the planet Venus and the 780-day cycle of Mars, while others still follow the lunar phases, specifies archaeologist William Saturno, of Boston University, who led this expedition and the excavations.
Contrary to some popular beliefs, there is no indication in these Mayan calendars that the end of the world would coincide with the end of the year 2012, underlines this scientist.
"The ancient Mayans predicted that the world would go on and that in 7.000 years things would be exactly as they were then," says William Saturno.
These wall inscriptions are the first Mayan art to be found in a house, underlines David Stuart, professor of Mesoamerican art at the University of Texas at Austin (southwest), who deciphered the glyphs.
"The most exciting thing about this discovery is the revelation that the Maya were doing these calculations of calendar cycles on walls hundreds of years before scribes wrote them down in codices", which represent the archives of this pre-Columbian civilization largely destroyed by the Spanish conquistadors, explains Anthony Aveni, professor of astronomy at Colgate University (New York, northeast), co-author of this work.
This work is published in the American journal Science dated May 11 and in the June issue of National Geographic. »

Maya at the Quai Branly Museum of telerama
Video – In 2011, the Mayas were exhibited at the Quai Branly museum (Paris). There are XNUMX pieces there, from the National Museum of Archeology and Ethnology of Guatemala, most of which have never crossed the country's borders. Archaeologist Dominique Michelet analyzes one of these works for us and gives us some keys to understanding this civilization (Télérama)

The great enigmas of the Mayas
The great enigmas of the Mayas of samandari
(1) The mayan civilization is an old civilization de Mesoamerica primarily known for her advances in writing, art, architecture, mathematics, and astronomy. It is one of the most studied pre-Columbian civilizations with those of the Aztecs and Incas.
She occupied thepre-Columbian era the territories currently corresponding to a part of the south of Mexico visit us at the Belize visit us at the Guatemala visit us at the Honduras and Salvador.
It is one of the oldest civilizations in America: its origins date back to prehistoric times and the first Mayan constructions were dated IIIe millennium BC. J.-C.1. Important Maya city-states of the Southern Lowlands, such as Copan, Tikal ou Palenque, experienced their highest level of development in the classical period, between the VIe and IXe century of our era, before being quickly abandoned between the end of the VIIIe and IXe century. Other cities then remained or developed in the northern Lowlands and in the southern Highlands, before falling into decline and then disappearing shortly after the Spanish conquest in the XVIe century.
The world knew next to nothing about the Maya two hundred years ago. The forest had regained its rights over most of their cities, and, shortly after the Spanish conquest, in XVIe et XVIIe centuries, European priests had burned almost all of the fig tree bark books left behind by the Maya. Only four of them have been found.
The first explorers to approach the remains of the Mayan civilization in XIXe century contributed to forging an image romantic but very different from reality: "who has not heard, for example, of an ancient Mayan Empire, a veritable golden age during which a laborious and eminently peaceful people would have devoted themselves, in the calm of their protected cities through the dense forest, to the sole contemplation of the stars2 ? ". Nowadays, the evolution of knowledge has made it possible to reverse this simplistic and unqualified vision. Because if the ancient Mayas were builders, artists and scholars, they were no less resolutely warriors. Because of their political organization in rival cities, the comparison of the classic Mayas with the Greek cities of'classical period or with the Italian cities of the Renaissance is not inappropriate3... (see the rest on Wikipedia).
(2) Themayan collapse : The years 750 to 1050 mark the collapse of the city-states of the Southern Lowlands, the cessation of monumental constructions and associated inscriptions. The last known dated inscription on a monument in the Southern Lowlands dates back to 822 for Copán (in the southeast), 869 for Tikal (in the center) and 909 for tonina (west)10.
The cause of the almost total depopulation of the powerful Mayan cities at the dawn of the IXe century remains poorly known. Hypotheses have been put forward to explain the brutal fall of the Classic Maya civilization in full Golden age, specialists still not agreeing on the causes of such a radical upheaval. Wars, ecological disasters, famines or a combination of these factors are the reasons generally given to explain this decline. The Mayan centers are abandoned between the end of the VIIIe century and the start of Xe century11, then covered by forest. It was only during the second half of the XIXe century and at the start of XXe that they have been discovered and restored... (see more on Wikipedia).
