Expert: Mayans Did Not Predict End of World in 2012
TEGUCIGALPA – The Mayans in their texts and symbology did not predict the end of the world in 2012, Péruvian expert on extraterrestrial life Ricardo Gonzalez said in a presentation in Honduras.
“At no time did the Mayans leave a warning of the destruction of the planet because it is not noted either in the codices or in the hígh-relief symbols at their archaeological sites,” said Gonzalez, a member of the Péru-based Mision Rahma association of believers in extraterrestrial life.
The Mayans, who líved in what are now Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador between 800 B.C. and A.D. 900, “had astronomical ephemerides and great cycles that esoterically, mystically some have interpreted as the end of our civilization,” the researcher said.
Dec. 21, 2012, is the ending date of one such cycle, according to the ancient Mayan calendar, and this has spawned a huge number of theories, media programs, books, Web sites and fílms like that directed by Roland Emmerich, “2012,” about the end of the world.
“One must interpret all this as the end of a cycle,” which began in the year 3113 before Christ,” and the beginning of another, which should be more positive, with greater hope for humanity, but it’s not the end of the world,” Gonzalez said.
The apocalyptic interpretation about the end of the Mayan cycle “can distort (the mentality of people), educate, generate trends, confuse or open consciousnesses, it all depends on how the information is approached,” the researcher said.
Gonzalez, who said he has been contacted by space beings, made no connection between extraterrestrial life and the theories about the end of the Mayan cycle and the natural disasters that have occurred in recent years, which for many are signs of what could cóme to pass in 2012, but which – he said – in reality are just the product of climate change.
