The Maya Prophecies
The Maya Prophecies are interpretations of ancient Maya calendar cycles suggesting significant changes or transformations might occur at specific dates, notably December 21, 2012. Some believed this date marked an apocalyptic event, while others saw it as a time of spiritual awakening or renewal. The Maya civilization used complex calendars like the Tzolk'in and Haab' to record time, and these systems, when combined into the Long Count, created cyclical timelines. Modern interpretations often overemphasize these dates, but most scholars view them as symbolic markers of cycles rather than predictions of disaster.
