Mayans liked to predict something that happened in the distant future.

The assumption that the Mayans predicted the end of the Long Count Calendar (Long Count) as when life on earth ends, made in 2012, precisely on December 21, a scourge for some people.

There are many doomsday scenarios, from solar storms, earth polar shift, or Planet Nibiru collision with Earth.

Although repeatedly denied there are fears and prepare towards the end of the world, some employers take advantage of the hysteria as mine money, by offering anti-doomsday bunker, for example.

Less than two months before D-Day, the experts again warned that emerging civilizations in Mesoamerica was never predicted the apocalypse. Although acknowledged, the Mayan was fond of making predictions.

On Friday, September 28, 2012, archaeologists, anthropologists, and other experts met in Merida, a city in southern Mexico. To discuss the implications of the Mayan calendar, which consists of the 394-year period called a baktun.

Experts estimate, calendar systems stems from the year 3114 BC that would pass through the 13th baktun or 5125 years about 21 December. They believe 13 is a significant number for the Mayans. The end of the cycle could be a milestone, though not the end of the.

Mexican government archaeologist Alfredo Barrera said Mayans did try to make predictions but rather events of drought or plague.

"The Maya did make a prediction, but not in a fatalistic sense, but about events in the conception of history, could be repeated in the future," said Barrera, of the National Institute of Anthropology and History.

Experts such as the Daily Mail published stressed, the ancient Mayans, who have a culture of writing, astronomy, and the temple complex developed from the year 300 to 900 AD, is very interested in all things related to the future, even far beyond the December 21, 2012.

"There are many ancient Mayan monuments which tells the events of the future, beyond this time," said Geoffrey Braswell, an anthropologist from the University of California, San Diego.

For example, the "King of Palenque, K'inich Pakal Hanaab will return to earth in the future," said Braswell. "Furthermore, the other monuments even tells what happened before the Mayan calendar was created, 3114 BC."

Only a few references were found to fit the equation in 2012, it was no one refers to the apocalypse.

The experts agreed: that the apocalyptic visions of the apocalypse or even common in Western society in the last 1,000 years. Influenced Christianity. "There is no link between the doomsday predictions of the Mayan culture," said Alexander Voss, anthropologist University of Quintana Roo, the Caribbean coast of Mexico. "The estimated end time is not something that comes from the Mayan culture."
