Replying to Trap FeedBackerThe big difference here is that the Maya use observed facts/science in their predicition. It isn't based off of some stupid religion or "vision" or unbased prophecy. In fact, the Maya don't even make a prophecy.
Our galaxy has a centre which all the stars take millions of years to revolve around, and it is located in the starriest part of the Milky Way, as seen from Earth. On four occasions within the 25,800-year cycle our galactic centre aligns with the sunrise of a solstice or equinox. The last time it occurred was on a fall equinox 6,450 years ago, approximately the dawn of Old World civilizations. On Dec 21, 2012, which is a winter solstice (Northern Hemisphere) this center will align with our sun once more.
What impact this will have on the earth is unclear and the Maya did not even attempt to offer a possibility. But modern scientists believe this alignment could impact the tectonic plates, tides, strength of the sun, and our magnetic poles. It's not too far fetched to think there could be the possibility of major earthquakes, global warming, and flooding. Certainly could lead to the end of the world, no?
At least it's based off of nature and facts. More than any religion can really say.
