Does any one know about the nativeAmerican prophecy 2012?

Question

I read that this was the year that the earth would have a great shift,do you think this is true and if so what do you think is going to happen?

Answer 1

Yes I have heard of it. We can only speculate as to what it means because the Spanish killed the ones who knew the secret (whoops). We know the classic Maya were very intelligent astronomers. Probably more so than us.

There is a site below with comprehensive info. I normally wouldn't trust a site run by a self proclaimed psychic, but all the info i cross referenced checks out. Also have lived with and am related to some natives and would understand why culturally they would trust to open up to the "psychic type" more.

Answer 2

It's from the Mayans.

From Wikipedia:

2012 and the Maya Calendar

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 fifth world. The Popol Vuh describes the first four creations that the gods failed in making and the creation of the successful fifth world where men were placed.

The last creation ended on a long count of 12.19.19.17.19. Another 12.19.19.17.19 will occur on December 20, 2012, and it has been discussed in many New Age articles and books that this will be the end of this creation, the next pole shift or something else entirely. However, the Maya abbreviated their long counts to just the last five vigesimal places. There was 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 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0, where the units are obviously supposed to be 13s twenty places larger than that b'ak'tun. 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 would all need to similarly roll over to 13 again to match the date of the new creation.[6]

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 (a Friday). 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 3

Ive heard of it. If it shifts it shifts. I dont buy it though.
The Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same theme can be found reflected in the prophecies of many other Native American visionaries from Black Elk to Sun Bear."

Answer 4

According to the Mayan calendar, 2012 is when the calendar has completed 13 bak'tuns, or one complete "world". According to Mayan mythology, we are living in the "fifth world"; thus 2012 would mark the beginning of the "sixth world". It's not necessary an armageddon, but rather more like a rebirth.

Answer 5

Yes, I heard that this is when the Mayan calendar ended. They believed that would be when the world ended. Some people think that this has much significance because the Mayans were a very advanced civilization for their time period. I do not think this is true and that the world will continue.

Answer 6

The scientist tell us that we already had a shift in our orbit with something that happened recently. I can't remember what it was, maybe an earthquake.

Answer 7

The difficulty with prophecies is that they claim to anticipate things that have not happened yet.

Answer 8

Oh, yes, this end of world prophesy will be right where every other deadline ever has been wrong.

Answer 9

Shift back to its original orbit?..if it happens..no more violent storms..wow.

Answer 10

Hopefully, god will be proven false that year.
