How to know what the Mayas thought about 2012?

The Mayas were a splendid, brilliant and amazing civilization who reigned for over 17 centuries on the Mesoamerican area.

They were an advanced and mysterious civilization compared to now, they dominated and knew perfectly the science world and were great mathematicians, artists, builders and astronomers.

They left very important treasures for us like the calendar that they developed based on observations of space and the positions of certain planets and stars.

They were great gauges of the time and possessed three Mayan calendars, the calendar of 260 days Tzoolkin, the Haab of 365 days, just like our Gregorian calendar and the Mayan long count calendar.

Their mathematical and astronomical advances along with the astronomical observation allowed them to set centuries ago a calendar an almost perfect accuracy.

Through their calendars, the Mayas with an incredible precision set the end of their calendar and their culture and left a date for the end of the world which is on Friday, December 21, 2012.

The Mayan long count calendar establishes as a starting point on August 13, 3114 to. C. and ends on December 21, 2012, a total of 5125 years in which they set a period of one world, after this period our planet Earth and humans will change radically.

They set it as the end of the Fifth Sun or the Fourth World on December 21, 2012. But this date is not the end; this date marks the beginning of the Fifth World.
