According to the Maya code, there are 5 major cycles of time, which has passed 4. Each cycle lasted 5125 years, with major damage in the earth and all living things are happening at their end. Now, most of this information comes from what scholars have translated the Maya code, flying machines and calendars. Code predicts that the total destruction of the earth and human beings (the universe) when the big cycle now reaching the end of the thirteenth Baktun this.
What is known is that we now live in (near the end) of the five major cycles - one in which the Maya live, only 500-4500 years ago. This cycle began in 3114 BC, and ended in December 2012. The driving force behind the doomsday prophecies are Mayan Long Count Calendar. After using three significant calendar, the Long Count Calendar is an extension of the 52-year Calendar Round.
However, as the Mayans were clever astronomer, there are many prediction of accuracy in astronomy. For example, the earth will be aligned with the galactic plane on December 21, 2012 - something that proved even to this day. This even happens once every 26,000 years. Threats such as Planet X (also known as Nibiru) entered our solar system, timewave zero, asteroids strikes, solar flares, and the polar shift that destroyed all methods to bring sense in Armageddon.
On the other hand is safer, a New Age has come, says the human race will have the option to enter a period of peace and understanding. More from the viewpoint of astrology, spiritual understanding of this will be considered in need of a new era of positive living. This shift in global consciousness, supported by New Age beliefs that have been re-describe Maya civilization and the confused even the modern humanity, is called Mayanism. Maya is very aware of months, the sun and the cycles of galaxies and the sun continued to rely on God for survival. Most of their culture destroyed by the Spanish during the Inquisition. But what was not destroyed prophesied scientific astronomical events that will happen.
