So this "13-baktun cycle" ends Dec 12th 2012 what happens on the 13th?

Question

for those who dont know what the 13-baktun cycle is
its the Mayan "Long Count" system of timekeeping is set to end precisely on a Dec 12th 2012, and that this system was put in place some 2300 years ago. in all that time it never hiccuped once. but what will happen after it runs out? any clues?

Answer 1

I think this was found to be incorrect

The end of the 13th b'ak'tun is conjectured to have been of great significance to the Maya, but does not necessarily mark the end of the world according to their beliefs, but a new beginning or time of re-birth. According to the Popol Vuh, a book compiling details of creation accounts known to the Quiché Maya of the colonial-era highlands, we are living in the fourth world. The Popol Vuh describes the first three creations that the gods failed in making and the creation of the successful fourth world where men were placed. The Maya believed that the fourth world would end in catastrophe and the fifth and final world would be created that would signal the end of mankind.

The last creation ended on a long count of 13.0.0.0.0. Another 13.0.0.0.0 will occur on December 21, 2012, and it has been discussed in many New Age articles and books that this will be the end of this creation or something else entirely. However, the Maya abbreviated their long counts to just the last five vigesimal places. There were an infinite number of larger units that were usually not shown. When the larger units were shown (notably on a monument from Coba), the end of the last creation is expressed as 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0, where the units are obviously supposed to be 13s in all larger places. In this age we are only approaching 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.13.0.0.0.0, and the larger places are nowhere near the 13s that would match the end of the last creation. (Schele and Friedel 1990: 430)

This is confirmed by a date from Palenque, which projects forward in time to 1.0.0.0.0.0, which will occur on October 13, 4772. The Classic Period Maya likely did not believe that the end of this age would occur in 2012. According to the Maya, there will be a baktun ending in 2012, a significant event being the end of a 13th 400 year period, but not the end of the world.

Answer 2

truly no longer something. :) The date is somewhat the wintry climate Solstice on the twenty first, notwithstanding i wager 12/12/12 might want to seem slightly cooler to three. LOL the international isn't ending, the Mayans in basic terms said it because the top of one cycle and the start of yet another; Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce and the bible do not say one be conscious about it, and the Age of Aquarius maximum emphatically does no longer initiate at New Years like clockwork! one element, no you will be able to agree on at the same time as precisely the Age of Aquarius does initiate and how this is determined. some say it began 1000's of years in the past, some say it isn't for hundreds of years to come back. yet at any fee, it isn't in accordance with our cutting-edge calendar: whichever yardstick you want to degree it by technique of, this is an astronomical journey, which hardly ever coincides well with our present day calendars. this is demanding to describe in detail to those unfamiliar with the topic, notwithstanding this is more advantageous than something transiting into Aquarius; that occurs exceptionally oftentimes. It has to do with the Precession of the Equinoxes or perhaps if the Spring Equinox occurs both in the constellation of Aquarius or the zodiac signal of Aquarius, by technique of the starting off element of the sidereal zodiac. the project is that the zodiac symptoms are *no longer* a similar element because the constellations they percentage a attractiveness with, they are 12 equivalent zones of area, 30 stages in length, in *both* sidereal and tropical astrology. notwithstanding the certainly constellations are unequal in length. So in the top you come back up with both maximum logical situations for the changeover: both at the same time as the Equinox occurs in Sidereal Aquarius, or at the same time as this is in the celebrities of the constellation of Aquarius. All different dates are wildly speculative in accordance with "truly cool" alignments featuring truly some planets in Aquarius or featuring component kinds heavily weighted in Aquarius. LOL

Answer 3

That may just be the last cycle they had plotted out. Just because that's as far as the priests and scribes got, does that really mean something's going to happen then? They plotted as far as 2012. Wow! That really is something.

Some people say there will be 'Earth changes'. There are 'Earth changes' everyday. I'll believe it when I see it.

Answer 4

the world will end as we know it... the world will change, and the 13th will be the first day of the Sixth Sun, a new age
