Mayan Calendar

On 21 December 2012 the world will come, say esoteric. And refer it to the Mayan calendar. Refer to the same calendar as well as the scientists who hold the apocalypse talk of mischief. How does that work? BILD.de says what is really in the thing.
In fact, the Maya have left us not just one but multiple calendars. Three calendar systems were shared.

The first is the "Haab 'calendar that divided the solar year and is similar to our present calendar. The 365 days of the year were divided into 18 months, consisting of 20 days each. Because it still gave no 365, unspecified days were added.
The second of the Mayan calendar system was a ritual that has been referred to as "Tzolkin". In it, the year was divided into 20 months, each with 13 days. It was therefore only 260 days.
The third calendar is the one that currently provides for large doomsday vertebrae. In it, the time is not divided into days, weeks or months. He begins on 1 August in the year 3114 BC.
This long-term calendar marks time in 394-year cycles, referred to as Baktuns. The 13 was a sacred number for the Mayas, and the 13th Baktun ends on 21 December 2012. The time goes on, however, even if a calendar ceases. If, after 5200 years, the Maya cycles end, we return to the starting date.

Bernd Harder of the Society for the Scientific Investigation of Paranormal: "Our calendar does not end even at 31 December of this year, but he just starts the next day all over again. This is the Mayan calendar the exact same thing, except that the period is longer. "
Of the Mayan doomsday had not said anything, says Hamburg anthropologist Lars Frühsorge. The doomsday theory was the American archaeologist Michael D. Coe in 1966 are presented in his book "The Maya" - a joke.
In fact, the Maya believed that the world was created several times and it's been a previous, imperfect human race had been, with the gods were displeased. "But in fact says no document from the ancient Maya that on 21.12. the world is ending. "To spread the doomsday thesis are particularly esoteric circles as well as television series and movies helped, says early care.

If the 21 December is over, we have ten years alone. Then come see early care the next end of the world: "The neighbors of the Maya, the Aztecs, and the idea that the world is created multiple times. You expect a cycle of 52 years. "This would make the next doomsday date 2023rd Early concern: "I am firmly convinced that the writers will throw next to that date. Month or day are still wide open, but you can if you want, fill it with content. "
