2012

I did not believe a thing about the events presumed to happen on the year 2012. However, once I was put into the position to actually research for myself, I began to think that it all may be true after all.

It started in my high-school algebra class. At the end of the year we had to research and write a report on something pertaining to mathematics. My partner and I chose to write about Mayan Numbers. The Mayans have a mysterious history of unexplainable proportions. If you know at least a little about the calendar we use today, you will know that it is the same calendar system the Mayans created over a thousand years ago. What is amazing is how accurately they measured out the days in a year using nothing but primitive technology. There is an ancient pyramid that they build consisting of 91 steps on each side not including the top step. Added together, these steps summed up to 365. Each step represents one day out of the year, while each side represented one of the four seasons of the year. But the mystery is that the Mayans only counted out the calendars up to the year 2012. Some specialists said that that may have been around the time the Mayan civilization mysteriously became extinct. Others say it could have meaning to it. Maybe the Mayans had better technology to observe the cosmos than we thought.
