Scientists tired to explain that the Mayans did not predict the end of the world in 2012. Like, coming apocalypse - only one (not very correct) interpretation of a single stone tablets from Tortuguero, in the Mexican state of Tabasco. As reported by 7D News, suddenly, the National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico issued a statement that there is another reference regarding our 2012 th ...

It is located in the ruins near Komalkalko Tortuguero.This is the inscription, carved or stamped on the brick (yes, Komalkalko different from other temples of the Maya that is made of bricks).

 

The representative of the Institute of Arturo Mendez said that a fragment of an inscription was discovered and studied a few years ago. It is stored in the vaults of the institute. The experts were aware of its existence, but many doubt that it refers to the end of the world.

 

The inscription is a "calendar circle" - a combination of days and months, which is repeated every 52 years. Marked on the calendar date corresponding to the end of the thirteenth baktun. Baktun - a period spanning approximately 394 years, and 13 - sacred to the Mayan number. One version of the Mayan calendar, entitled "Long Count" begins in 3114 BC. Oe. and thirteenth baktun ends around December 21, 2012.

 

Specialist Maya epigraphy David Stewart of the University of Texas at Austin (USA) explains that there is no indication of the future. In the accompanying hieroglyphs used now, "he (she, it) comes." Hence, Mr. Stewart concludes that the inscription is devoted to some historical event and does not contain prophecies. A reference to 2012 - just a result of misinterpretation.

Plate of Tortuguero is also about 1300 years, it is no less mysterious, but it is clear that it deals about the future. We describe some events that involved Bolon-Yokte - a mysterious deity, which the Maya associated with war and creation. Alas, erosion, cracks can not read the label completely. Some suggest that it is: "He will descend from heaven."

 

One way or another, but okolohristianskie ideas about the coming of the messiah and the end of the Mayan world to attribute correctly. In presenting the Mayan time cycles began and ended without any kind was the apocalypse.

 

Nevertheless, rumors reached the shaft of this size (especially online) that the aforementioned Mexican Institute decided next week to hold a round table with participation of sixty professionals in order to finally clarify the question of the Mayan beliefs and the meaning of "Long Count".
