The ‘2012 doomsday’ Why Mayan calendar ends at 2012 Prof Brian Cox
The Maya had a long count, which was a calendar, it was basically base 20, Mayan calendars are always base 20, that’s because you’ve got 10 fingers and 10 toes, so it’s a HUMAN based calendar. And so the long count began – this current long count – began in 3 thousand 100 and 16 or 17 BC, I can’t remember which, and if you add them all up, then the year 13 0 0 0 0 – which is the end of that long count – is 2012. And in the Mayan calendar then, a new long count begins, so the Mayans believed that the universe was created in three thousand whatever it is BC, and will end in 2012 because a new one’s going to be created, a new cycle’s going to be created – it’s in the same sense that the day ends when the Sun is devoured in the East in the West, and reappears again in the East.”
The maya have a calendar which cycles around, and there are many, many, many, correspondents on the internet that believe that that’s still going to be the case, that the universe is going to end in 2012.”
What kind of MORON do you have to be? ….. to?”
See the Maya had some elaborate system of counting, it all cycles around and their whole civilisation was built on it, so I have no quarrel at all with the Maya, I think they had a beautiful civilisation. [but] People on the internet today who …. the thing is, the calendar is based on the number of fingers and toes you’ve got, right. How can that have cosmic significance? 5 5 5 5. How can that have cosmic significance? It just depends entirely on what – on how many dextrous protrusions the organism that invented the civilisation’s got. So …..”
“So your opinion of people that think the world will end in 2012 because that’s the end of the Mayan long count is? Your opinion is?”
I reckon that they might be statistically right, because you’ve got to be such a to believe it, that you might have a higher statistical chance of walking in front of a bus. So in that sense, they could be statistically correct. And it will be to the advantage of all of us, because the human race will progress in a more measured way, if the people who believe that are statistically removed in 2012.”
