Una inscripción de fecha para la «cuenta larga» maya.

The 2012 phenomenon is a belief which holds that the eschatological day of the December solstice of 2012 will occur the end of the world or the world as we know it, leading to the end of civilization and the beginning of another. The solstice will happen on December 21, 2012 at 11:12 UTC (Coordinated UniversalTime).
It is based on one of the calendars used by the Maya; the Mayan calendar called the Long Count ends its cycle of 5125 years.
Some writers argue that the current inhabitants of Earth would experience a physical transformation and / or positive spiritual, which would mark the beginning of a new era. Others suggest that the 2012 date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe.Postulated scenarios for the end of the world includes a collision of Earth with a foreign object, including possible assumptions have these objects:
The planet Nibiru, which became known thanks to the release of Azerbaijani writer Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010).
An errant asteroid.
Black hole.
a large solar activity.
Scholars from various disciplines have dismissed the idea of ​​catastrophe in 2012.Major Maya scholars stated that the doomsday predictions are not supported by Maya no longer the classic accounts of Mayan culture related to "Long Count".
The current Mayan people not considered significant the date of December 21, though the sources for this verdict are scarce and contradictory, suggesting that there is still no final agreement between this town about a possible "catastrophe".Additionally, astronomers and other scientists have rejected the apocalyptic forecasts as pseudoscience, stating that the anticipated events are contradicted by simple astronomical observations. For example, “NASA” has compared fears about 2012 to the end of the world fear the 999 December 31 and December 31, 1999 (Y2K).
We have discovered a Mayan calendar on a house deposit Xultún dating fromthe ninth century, which says that, extends some 7,000 years and is repeated cyclically.

Calendar Mesoamerican Long Count.
The December 2012 solstice marks the conclusion of a b'ak'tun, which is a period of time in the calendar Mesoamerican Long Count used in Central America before the arrival of Europeans. Although there is also the chance that the Long Count was invented by the Olmecs, wasmuch more associated with the Maya civilization, whose classic period ranges from 250-900 AD The Maya script was subsequently deciphered, where much of his material hieroglyph survived the Spanish conquest.
Unlike the 52-year calendar round still used today among the Maya, the Long Count was linear, almost cyclical, and calculate the time in units of 20: 20 days make a uinal, 18 uinals (360days) made ​​a tun, 20 make a k'atun tunes, and 20 katun (144,000 days) made ​​about b'ak'tun. Thus, the Mayan date of 8.3.2.10.15 represents 8 baktun, katun 3, 2 ​​tunes, 10 and 15 days uinals.

Apocalypse.
There is a strong tradition of "world ages" in Mayan literature, but the record has been distorted, leaving several possibilities open. According to the Popol Vuh, a book compiling details ofcreation accounts known to the K'iche 'Maya ethnic group from the highlands of the colonial era, now living in the fourth world. The Popol Vuh states that the first gods created three failed worlds; the fourth world succeeded and prospered, and became the home of modern man. In the long count, every previous world ended after the thirteenth baktun (5125 years).
The "zero date" long count isestimated at 11 August 3114. C.
In 1957, American astronomer Maud Worcester Makemson (1891-1977) wrote that "the full phase of a great period of 13 baktuns could have been of paramount importance to the Maya."
In 1966, the religious writer Michael D. Coe said in his book The Maya that "on the final day of the thirteenth baktun, Armageddon might surprise the degenerate people of this world and all...
