Experts: Mayas Predicted God's Return in 2012, Not End of World MEXICO CITY -- The Mayan predictions for December 2012 were about the return of the god Bolon Yokte and not about the end of the world, the National Anthropology and History Institute, or INAH, said in a report. Bolon Yokte's return would mark the end of one era and the start of another, experts Sven Gronemeyer and Barbara Macleod of Australia's La Trobe University said in a new interpretation of the Maya glyphs from the Tortuguero arhaeological zone in the southern state of Tabasco. The experts discussed their findings on Wednesday at the 7th Palenque Roundtable in the southern state of Chiapas. The Dec. 21, 2012, date found on Mayan glyphs led to speculation about "Maya prophecies of the end of the world," prompting archaeologists and epigraphists to deny them. The Mayans created a calendar based on 400-year periods, known as "baktuns," with each era made up of 13 cycles of 400 years that added up to 5,125 years. The current era, according to their calculations, would end in December 2012, the specialists said. In the Mayan cosmology, a cycle of creation was completed at the end of each era and another began, and the inscription on the glyph notes that the "deity Bolon Yokote would be invested on Dec. 21, Gronemeyer said. Bolon Yokote is a god associated with creation and war that participated in the start of the current era, which began on Aug. 13 of 3114 B.C., the expert said. The glyph is linked to the history of the Mayan city of Tortuguero and mentions ruler Bahlam Ajaw (612-679) as a future participant in an event at the end of the current era, Gronemeyer said. The glyph's text says Maya rulers should "prepare the land for the return of the god Bolon Yokte, and that Bahlam Ajaw would be the host at his investiture," the expert said. Bolon Yokte, according to the prediction, would preside over the birth of a new era that would start on Dec. 21, 2012, and oversee the end of the current era. "The arithmetic of the Maya calendar shows that the end of the 13th baktun is simply the end of a period and the transition to a new cycle, but this date is loaded with symbolic value, such as the reflection on the day of creation," Gronemeyer said. The view of history as a narrative of human events was a secondary concern for Mayan scribes, who instead focused on rituals, Mexican epigraphist Erik Velasquez said. "The inscriptions show complex relationships between time, the sculptures and the buildings," Velasquez said. "In the ancient Mayan view, time was constructed just like the sculptures and the buildings that contained them, the periods had consciousness, will, personality, and they behaved like humans," Velasquez said. ---------------------------------------------- /Latin Americas Herald Tribune/

they had certain info from fallen angels...those beings the Mayans worshipped. Some truth mixed with false stuff
-
MAYANS WERE CLOSE, BUT ITS THE RETURN OF A GOD "RYAN" OF JEWISH DECENT
-
Simply state an opinion*
-
No they simply satay an opinion. That in our past ancient civilization could of mistakenly interpreted alien visitors as gods. Most of the societies that are referenced have multiple deities in their beliefs. It is quite possible that there are aliens An there is god. The KjB only accounts for a small percentage of religious rhetoric.

Bolon Yokte appears in the sky on December 16, 2013. The 13th Baktun Begins on 13.0.1.0.0 (13 Ahau) December 16, 2013. It was never December 21, 2012. Google: True "End-Time" of the Mayan Calendar. This is the day the Dresden Codex ends, the Cosmic Crocodile opens wide and spews out a deluge of some kind. We will know in 58 days!!!
-
And I have returned.
-
omggggggggg, the history channel is ALWAYS trying to get people to believe that the "gods" were friggen aliens. irritating as hell!
-
Definitely lol it would be freaking awesome if that'l happen
-
i know what you mean. it would be so funny if we just got the date wrong
-
well nothing's happening so basically I hate this it's all plain stupidity it would be cool though if these guys suddenly show up
-
Aliens!
-
I've also read about that precise date being just a theory and that nobody can 100 percently assure, that they've estimated the right beginning date. But still, one can assume that it's probably the right date ...
-
just make sure you have a read up about project bluebeam peeps,, just incase.. its our fear and ignorance thats created this world so far!!
-
if a god came down from the heavens these days,, what would we call them?? if an alien came down from the skies thousands of years ago,, what would primitive man have called them?? ;) if peeps are aware of project bluebeam,, we stand a chance!!

Bolon Yokte K'uh' (God (of) the Nine Strides) is a god of war, trade and arts. Thus on Earth will be nine wars or nine significant discoveries.
-
It depends on how you feel about Ramen noodles. He makes a lot of em.

icametorock1>>> If Your question attends to an interpretation for the Mayan view of Bolon Yokte as God of War, may be wright answer will equal to meaning of Christ words, when He told "I ve brought a sword, but not a peace"?
-
so how you know is false? should i take your word , be unprepare ! & die like a fool or but at least if i prepare & is false i would only live as a fool.!
-
Like I said..."I have never heard that nobody knows the exact beginning date"..This is BS. Everywhere I research, they all list the same date. I never read that it was a hypothesis or guess. You are the ONLY one that makes this claim. Just supply a link to this claim and we will be done here. ...and....Mayans only speak of this era, not past ones, so I can't answer the last question for you. I can give a hypothesis but it lacks evidence, then again, hypothesis don't require proof or evidence. :)
