“They sacrificed humans to buy their time as their civilization crumbled.”
21,000 years ago, the Maya civilization declared a prophecy that the Modern Human world will end in December 21, 2012.
Scientists of Paleontology, Geography and History, exhausted their time and efforts to know the credibility of the information beheld by the ancient Maya civilization. They have found out that the Maya civilization are people of the Sun, astronomy and climatic changes and have found the connection between these different media.
Mayans believed that the Earth goes through 5 cycles/season. The first cycle is the creation of Earth by the Gods. The second cycle is the creation of man made of mud. The third cycle is the creation of man made of wood. the fourth cycle is the creation of man in the form of animals. The fifth cycle is the creation of man composed of mixed corn and blood making a corn man, which in our sense, is the modern man. The fifth cycle also includes the end of the world. Mayan Calendar had recorded several end of the world through thousands of generation passed. They have specifically stated that the end of the world always had to end in a catastrophic event like tornadoes, volcanoes, hurricane, earthquake and much more.
Mayan civilization, modern in their time, can predict storms, rain and hurricane through astronomical readings. Their Lunar Calendar is found effective in determining the coming of catastrophic events. They have a huge observatory that is visited by their astronomer every night of the year. They calculate their days through the movement of the stars.
Scientists, through their researching, found out through Maya descendants, that the ancient civilization played a very important ball game. The rules are to move the ball through the knees of opposing teams and shoot it in a high ring. One point scores a win. The captain of the losing team is beheaded by the captain of the winning team. As to significance, scientists have found out that the entire structure of the huge walls putting the athletic field in the center defines a different view of the cosmotic atmosphere. A cosmotic event that happens only once in every 26,000 years. Scientists believe that the Mayan civilization have observed this cosmotic event and has seen the alignment of the Sun and the nuclear center of the milky way in our horizon. This alignment triggers the cosmotic energy that will destroy the Earths surface.
Mayans believed that the world will end in water. Hieroglyphics of the ancient civilization described the said apocalypse.
