Note that the first 31 year period began with the start of World War 1, August 1914, and ended when World War 2 was over, August 1945, and saw the rise and defeat of Fascism. The second 31 year period ended in 1976, with a series of disasters and the death of. 21, 2012, wasn't the end of the world, and here's why. Moreover, it's not really the end of the world. It's just the beginning of a new quadruple century, something that happens every 394.3 years, anyway. This was the basic picture. I think you must agree that the number of misconceptions about the Mayan calendar and its hypothetical implications is stunningly high.

Mystics, hippies and tourists celebrated in Mexico as the world marked the end of the Mayan long count 400 year calendar. Doomsday predictions appear to be unfounded.

Some, who believed the world would end on Friday had reached the conclusion based on the 'Long Count' of the 5,200-year Mayan calendar. The theory was that a doomsday scenario would be set into motion on December 21, 2012, which also coincides with the December solstice.

For the Mayas though, the date marked the end of a period of 400 years, and was expected to bring a regeneration of wisdom and other positive developments.

The end of the Mayan calendar was largely ignored, with most going about business as usual. However, some gathered around archaeological remains of the Maya's ancient culture to mark the event.

Cashing in on the end of the world

Thousands gathered at Chichen Itza and other sites in Mexico, where they were on hand to greet the first sunrise of this new era. Elsewhere, people celebrated the event in bars or restaurants.

Around 3,000 people gathered at the Tikal stone pyramid in northern Guatemala, where native Maya priests lit fires as the sun emerged on Friday morning. Actors in costume also danced to celebrate the event.

In France, meanwhile, journalists from all over the world flocked to the southern village of Bugarach, which had been rumoured to be one of the only places where one could escape doomsday. Apart from members of the media though, few were able to reach Bugarach, as local authorities, fearing that they would be inundated by New Age enthusiasts, had taken the precaution of blocking access roads.

The village had been regarded as a refuge by some who believed the end of the world was imminent. The theory there had been that aliens would use the Pic de Bugarach mountain, which towers above the village, as a landing strip, and then whisk nearby human beings away to safety.

The Mayans were a civilisation known for their architecture, mathematics and astronomical beliefs, who date back to as far as 2000BC. In 2012, there was a brief frenzy after it was claimed that December 21 would mark the end of the world because it was the end-date of a 5,126-year cycle on the Mayan calendar. However, thanks to the discovery on a stone slate in Tikal, Guatemala, archaeologists are able to understand more about this key date, as well as the apparent end of the world.

Stanley Guenter, a world-leading decoder of Mayan inscriptions, revealed during Morgan Freeman’s “The Story of God” how the Mayans depicted their calendars on stelae – huge slabs of rock.

The Mayans Calendar

He said in 2017: “Stelae commemorate periods in the Mayan calendar, so we see that they would have been dedicated to periods of time such as every 20 years, every 10 years and especially every 400 years.

“[These were known as] the ending of the great b’ak’tun cycles.

“So we heard a few years ago about the end of the 13th b’ak’tun being the end of the world predicted by the Mayans.

Each one of those unites is 20 times larger than the previous, so what we see on this monument is that 13 b’ak’tuns was not the end of any calendar – just one cycle

Stanley Guenter

“Well there’s a monument down here I think we should take a look at.”

Mr Guenter then took Mr Freeman to see stela 10, which was referenced to apparently marking the end of the world seven years ago.

He added: “This is stela 10, you can see we’ve got a king – there is his head and big headdress full of feathers, [his] shoulders, all of his jewellery and down to his feet.

“If you look down below, we can actually see we have a captive and we can see his hands and even legs – all tied up for sacrifice.

“[On the back] we have a date that gives us a specific point in time – 11 years and 360 days, then we have threekatuns– which are 20 years each.

“So that is another 60, and then we have nine b’ak’tuns, because this is a date of about 525AD.

“So if you remember we had 13 b’ak’tuns ended in 2012, but the really interesting thing is the monument does not stop there.”

Mr Guenter then went on to reveal how the entirety of the discovery reveals the 2012 prediction was just a single cycle inside a number of bigger cycles.

He continued: “It tells us there were 19 of the higher unit – the pictun – and even higher, 11 at the next unit.

“Each one of those units is 20 times larger than the previous, so what we see on this monument is that 13 b’ak’tuns was not the end of any calendar – just one cycle.

“It was just the start of a new cycle, a new beginning, that would go on for almost eternity.

“We have never found the end for the Mayans.”
