No end of the world in 2012
An article released by Extreme Mayan Adventures, a Guatemalan tour operator, the end of the world won't happen in 2012. It has written an article to debunk this myth, claiming that the Mayan Calendar does not say so.

ACCORDING TO Extreme Mayan Adventures, the educational adventure tour operator in Guatemala, the world indeed is not going to end in 2012. This fact, according to the company, is highlighted in their newly released article on the Mayan calendar set to terminate on December 21st, 2012.


The article was released as part of the Guatemalan tour operator's “Resources and Learning Tools” section of their website for students, teachers, travellers to Guatemala and aficionados of Mayan culture. It was written to debunk the myth that the world will come to an end in the year 2012 according to the Mayan Calendar. This, according to the folks at Extreme Mayan Adventures is clearly not the case.

According to the Extreme Mayan Adventures website, the article was compiled from various, “anthropological studies, books about the Mayan Calendar, research about the Mayan number zero, and interviews with Mayan shamans.” The article also cites current research on the Mayan concept of Jaloj-K'exoj as put forth by the anthropologist Robert S Carlsen and expert on Tzutujil Mayan culture Martin Prechtel.

So are we really safe from the end of life as we know it on the planet Earth? One can look to the vast amount of anthropological research and books about Mayan culture. And if one still can't believe it, they can ask the local Mayan shaman!

.Dear Friends, Face every 1 in our life,,,,,like dec 21 2012,,,
.Was this an advertisement for this tour company? If you want actual facts on the 2012 end-of-the-world myth, ask an expert. There are plenty of archaeologists and anthropologists that can set you straight. Otherwise, you could actually ask a Maya aj q'ij (day-keeper, or what you would call a shaman). There are plenty of them living in Guatemala today, along with Maya indigenous peoples, who make up 50% of the Guatemalan population. Please, don't get your news from a tour agency.
