This 2012 Mayan prophecy medallion is an ornate replica of the mystic Mayan calendar that some believe will mark the end of mankind’s current history and the beginning of a new dawn.
According to the 2012 Mayan Prophecy legend, the Mayan civilization developed their long count calendar to mark the end of the great life cycle and the beginning of a new era in man’s cosmic journey. The Mayans are said to believe that their calendar not only marked time but predicted the evolution of the human race. The Mayan’s current life cycle started in 3,000 B.C. and ends on the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2012.
The obverse of the coin displays a sacred Mayan temple above the 2012 “prophecy.” The reverse of the coin shows the intricate Mayan calendar created around the Mayan sun god Tonatiuh.
Minted in deep relief using a special “splash minting” process, this 2012 Mayan Prophecy coin is struck and finished in antique bronze.

The 2012 calendar is now the most infamous calendar known to man.
Until just recently, not many people put a lot into the calendar. To most of us a calendar is blocks of time by which we arrange our busy lives. We are in tune with dayplanners; books with lines for every hour of every day, week in and week out. Suddenly the world is agog over a calendar chisled in stone. It cannot be erased or changed to suit the whims of modern life. At best, the Mayan 2012 calendar is mysterious and other worldly.
Did you know that the 2012 calendar left by the Mayans is not round?
Nor is this piece of archaeolgical time keeping brightly colored. In fact, the Mayan Long Count is a series of calendars known as ‘stella’. They are actually very tall squared columns of rock that occupy a special place in each ancient Maya community. All four sides of these stella have series of glyphs and figures carved on them. Once up on a time there were many books that held the key to the Long Count calendars. All but one of the books, or codexes as they are referred to, were destroyed by the papacy in the 1500’s when the Spanish arrived to change the Maya world forever.
So how did they arrive with the 2012 calendar end date?
Many years of study has gone into deciphering the glyphs by numerous archaeoligists and historians. Originally, there were several different conclusions, with four different translations arriving at end dates within a several day range. Eventually, it was decided that one of them was correct. Then decades later this particular scholar changed his mind after further study. He proclaimed the real end date of the Mayan calendar was not December 21, 2012 but December 23, 2012.
Dartmouth scholars did not agree and maintained the December 21st end date.
So there is a minor descrepancy as to which date in December 2012 the Long Count calendar of the Maya people ends. Yet, splitting hairs over this two day span is really not changing things at all. And so the Mayan 2012 calendar remains with an end of our current age date on the Winter Solstice.
They are all in agreement that the stone calendar does end on 12-21-12.
Numerically, this is a curious date that looks the same coming and going, with a center that is a mirror of both ends. More mysterious than the baktuns and glyphs is the fact that every program on your television, webpage or print publication about the 2012 calendar of the Mayas shows the wrong artifact. Every single one of them presents you with the Aztec Sun Stone as the image of the Maya Long Count calendar.
This makes the mystery surrounding the 2012 calendar deeper yet.
The Aztec Sun Stone mimics the time keeping system known as the Maya Tzolkin. But the Tzolkin measures a moon cycle and just keeps rotating through the days. The Haab is very simple, while the sun stone is complex in carvings. Additionally, the Aztecs were not meticulous time keepers; in fact the dates could be off by years from one community to another. Whether it is because the sun stone is brilliantly colored or the reasoning lies elsewhere is at present unknown. Still, what most people think is the Mayan Long Count calendar is absolutely wrong. After all, the Aztecs and the Mayas are two seperate cultures.
The Mayas used decimals in the numerics necessary to create their 2012 calendar.
Some people believe that the Mayan people were the first to use decimals. They learned mathmatics and calendar keeping from the Olmecs. The Olmecs were the first native inhabitants of South America in the current age of man. It is said that the Olmecs were the people saved from the land of Lemuria at the time that Atlantis and Lemuria were destroyed. So this incredible mathematical system appears to actually carry over from the third world of man. Be that as it may, the end date remains firm for the 2012 calendar on December 21st.
History has always fascinated Dree Lyons. As a professional writer her accidental interest in the 2012 phenomenon led her to investigate far beyond the fringe. A fascinating and alarming topic with more twists, turns and kinks than you can imagine. Don’t click this link …www.Real2012Info.com if you don’t want to know the truth.
I am not saying that anything special is going to happen on this day, and most credible believers of Aztec calendar 2012 don’t either. However, this day has great importance in cross-cultural mythology and if you do anything on that day, you should stand in appreciation of the fact that our Earth and all the stars and planets and matter in our galaxy originated at the center of our galaxy and on that day we are aligned with the source of all the atoms that make up our bodies and the stars. If you are a Creationist, then think of this ‘source’ perhaps as the place where God created our galaxy; remember the symbolism of this alignment exists in Christianity as well, whether its meaning is recognized or not in modern theology.
The Mayans developed the Aztec calendar 2012 in order to predict the stages each civilization will go through, having experienced them first hand as they went from hunter-gatherers to developing a concept of zero before the rest of the world, along with pressurized plumbing, sewers, metropolises and accurate astronomical calculations not repeated until modern day science and computing.
You should do your own research into the details and stay critical of what you see but these are the elements I find most compelling and possible of the Aztec calendar 2012 argument:
The period of change in our civilization according to the Mayan model is about 1996-2018.
Our symbolic alignment with the origin of our planet at the center of the galaxy will occur.
Globalization has seen a boom with the internet, which is a way to communicate instantly across the planet, have access to all information, and has lead to a change in consciousness that comes with seeing the world in a completely different way than humans ever have in our history.
Drastic changes in first-world governments have occurred during this 2012 period so far and will continue into it, not necessarily with a world- ending war but more likely with a new world order which we are already seeing come into place with a global court, and a supranational environmental protection enforcement agency with a possible global carbon tax and a banking system beholden to no single nation yet holding great power over the global economy.
These changes in the way we see the world, the way people interact globally and domestically, the way our governments are changing, the way our wars are changing, the steps being taken toward a world governing body of some kind, etc. could all be included as evidence of a correct prediction that the world we know will end and a new world will come of it as the next stage of our civilization.
According to the Aztec calendar, 2012 might be the end of the world, it is part of a prediction that we will realize in the next decade that our civilization has entered a new stage in its evolution and we as individuals will see the world in a radically different way than our ancestors.

The Aztec calendar 2012 incorporated two different counting systems: the first Aztec calendar 2012 called the Xihuitl, was made up of 18 months, with 20 days each (360 days) with an additional 5 days (called the Nemontemi) tacked onto the end. The other Aztec calendar, the Tonalpohualli, was a ritual Aztec calendar round made up of 20 day signs (with names such as reed, knife, house, rabbit, etc.) set against a “week” of 13 days. The counting would follow the pattern of 1 reed, 2 knife, 3 house, 4 rabbit, etc. This cycle would repeat itself every 260 days. (i.e.. the date 1 reed would appear every 260 days).
Each of these calendrical systems had their purpose. The Xihuitl helped to record seasonal events and annual ceremonies while the Tonalpohualli assisted in divination and various ceremonies. These two calendars ran concurrently and repeating dates would appear only every 52 years (e.g.. the Xihuitl date of 1 Izcalli (the first month) and the Tonalpohualli date of 1 Crocodile would occur only every 18,980 days).
According to the Aztec calendar 2012, the end of the world will be in the exact date of 12/21/2012. At this day all the stars will be lined up and earth will start to change. According to the Aztec calendar in the end of the year 2012 there will be hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes and many more destructive phenomenas including asteroids hitting our earth.
This in not just media hype you can see the signs of the end of the world even today. For example the global warming – earth climate is changing a bit everyday, if we will continue to live like that, then by the end of 2012 the world will come to it’s end. The Mayan already knew this day will come. All this time we have been blind to the apocalypse and now we have little time to stop it, not to mention to be prepared.
