2012 Fact or Fiction?
The end of Days documentary was broadcast in 2007 by one of the worlds most renowned TV channels, it has been a starting point for many and has sparked the interest of millions of people. The Maya, I Chin, Sybil, the book of Revelations and even an advanced computer program called the Web-Bot Project all point to a grim doomsday and all talk of one date. For this specific date to have been mentioned by so many different cultures at such differing times in history then surely this cannot just be coincidence?
Documentaries on the subject of 2012 are one of biggest reasons why this subject is so popular and controversial today but yet not all would agree that what you see is entirely factual.
John Major Jenkins a researcher into Maya cosmology and the Mesoamerican calendar systems spoke about the "Mayan Doomsday Prophecy" documentary and says "it sounds like a fairly non-biased survey of ideas, theories, and scholarship. Well, it’s not. It’s 45 minutes of unabashed doomsday hype and the worst kind of inane sensationalism. The History Channel educates us only in how NOT to make a documentary about 2012. I speak from the vantage of someone who was consulted on the script content. In addition, as a researcher into Maya cosmology and the Mesoamerican calendar systems, I was also interviewed for the documentary and appear in several segments. In fact, my pioneering work was supposed to be featured. However, the original concept for the presentation morphed through a series of executive edits to result in the error-riddled and flagrant attempt at fear-mongering and sensationalism."
Many sources interpret the completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Mayan calendar which occurs on December 21, 2012 by the most widely held correlation to mean there will be a major change in world order. However there is a distinct lack of evidence from the records of the Maya civilization that they themselves considered this occurrence in 2012 would signify "the end of the world". So what, if anything will occur on this date?
