Washington's Blog: End of the World: Hear the 2012 Prophecy

Direct from the Mouths of the Mayan Priests. While educated adults obviously don't believe the 2012 prophesy, many children are terrified, and NASA reports that some are contemplating suicide. So please spread this as a Public Service Announcement. Many people are talking about the Mayan 2012 prophecy, but few know what the Mayan priests actually "said" about 2012. In reality, Mayan elders say something very different from what you might have heard: For example, Wakatel Utiw, leader of the National Council of Elders Mayas, Xinca and Garifuna (the Xinca and Garifuna are non Mayan tribes in Central America) Day Keeper of the Mayan Calendar, and 13th generation Quiche Mayan Spiritual Leader, says that the end of the Maya calendar has nothing to do with the end of the world. He also explains that December 21, 2012 might not even be the end of this cycle of the calendar: Contrary to popular belief, the living elders of the Maya do not agree that December 21, 2012 is the end of their calendar. A new Sun represents the beginning of a new Long Count cycle in the calendar system of approximately 5,200 years, which they say may not happen for many years: A brand new film called Shift of the Ages, tells the Mayans beliefs in detail, and gives their true warnings. Similarly, Tzutujil Mayan elder Tata Pedro Cruz says the world will NOT end in 2012. Mayan elder and priest Carlos Barrios, who has extensively studied the Mayan calendars says: Anthropologists visit the temple sites, and read the inscriptions and make up stories about the Maya, but they do not read the signs correctly. Its just their imagination. Other people write about prophecy in the name of the Maya. They say the world will end in December 2012. The Mayan elders are angry with this. The world will not end. It will be transformed. Leonzo Barreno, a Guatemalan native who was trained by Mayan elders to read the ancient calendars, says that the apocalypse concept is a false interpretation of the Long Count calendar, that the Mayan elders taught him that December 21 this year simply marks the start of a new calendar.
