ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD
Federico Navarrete Linares wrote on this topic; “... it is assumed as the planet was destroyed and created at the end of the last 13 baktuns, the planet would be destroyed once the cycle is completed, that is December the 23rd 2012 A.D. in our calendar ”.
Federico Navarrete Linares book states, “… this means 13 baktuns cycle indicates the duration of each creation: 1,872,000 days”.
As we know, on July the 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon. But Mayans use a different system and according to the Cecijema Foundation, it could be wrote as:
12 baktun (144,000 days each), 17 katun (7,200 days each), 15 tun (360 days each), 16 uinal (20 days each) and 18 kin (days).
Multiplication of the preceding data represents a total of 1,856,138 days after the last creation of the mankind.
In other words, we refer to dates as before Christ (B.C.) and after Christ (A.D.), the Maya instead referred to the creation of mankind, which was August 13, 3114 B.C.
Time for the Mayans was considered cyclic, not lineal, (that is the events and times repeat forever) and this does not means the end of the world.
However, there is a small mistake in calculations... The third creation of mankind (not of the world) is:
13.0.0.0.0 4 ahaw 8 kumkú (August 13th, 3114 B.C.) This date comes from Stele number 20 located at Cobá.
If the Maya wanted to write December the 23rd, 2012 A.D. they would have wrote:
13.0.0.0.0 4 ahaw 3 k´ank. This is not the end of world. LIVE HAPPY!
