New Mayan Find Confirms 2012 Doomsday Date, Or Does It?
Posted by Justin on November 30th, 2011
Does a new Mayan relic currently being researched confirm the apocalyptic date of December 21, 2012?
The answer: an emphatic “maybe, probably not.”
The ‘Comalcalco Brick’, as the second fragment is known, has been discussed by experts in some online forums.
Many still doubt that it is a definite reference to December 21, 2012 or December 23, 2012, the dates cited by proponents of the theory as the possible end of the world.
‘Some have proposed it as another reference to 2012, but I remain rather unconvinced,’ said David Stuart, a specialist in Mayan epigraphy at the University of Texas at Austin.
What is known is that the carving found at a ruin in Comalcalco, Mexico does make reference to the end of the 13th Baktun, a 394-year period which will come due next year. However, there is not much evidence to suggest that any apocalyptic event will come along with it.
In fact, many scholars are quick to remind worry warts that Mayan culture believed time constantly began and ended cycles without world ending punctuation.
