- Award winning feature length documentary. Was the Mayan prediction about the end of the world in 2012 ever really made? During her journeys in the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula and Guatemala, filmmaker and journalist Elisabeth Thieriot meet Mayan abuelos who dispel the myths about the dystopian controversy theories often associated with the Mayan Calendar. Along the way, the film also deep dives into the mystery of the Baqtun, also known as the measurement of time that the Mayans identified as a 3,300-year cycle.

In 2005, I spent a month traveling through the Yucatan peninsula with a Mayan shaman descended from a continuous lineage of Mayan shamans. We visited all the Mayan sites in the Yucatan. Much of his teachings about the cosmology and religious significance of the sites was vastly different from the western colonizer interpretation that is still perpetuated by modern archaeology. In particular, we had a lengthy discussion about the Mayan calendar. To say the west got it wrong is an understatement. Mayans NEVER predicted an "end of the world" in 2012 or in any other time. The shaman explained that, similar to Hindu cosmology, Mayans divided up the flow of time into 24,000 year cycles that break down into two 12,000 year cycles. Each of these is further divided into specific eras. In Vedic cosmology, these eras are called "yugas" and are characterized by specific evolution and devolution of human societies until they degrade entirely and then the cycle begins again with a period of enlightenment. The Mayan calendar simply said that 2012 was the end of a 12,000 year cycle. Not the end of the world.
This is the limitation of documentarians and archaeologists putting these types of conclusions together without consulting actual Mayan shamans descended from the traditions.
Furthermore, one other conversation with this shaman stood out. While at Chichen Itza, NASA had just taken over the site for further study so the main pyramid was restricted to the public. NASA could study it for decades and never get it right, he said definitively. He said "as long as the west continues to view science and religion as separate things, they will never understand Chichen Itza. And they will never understand the Maya." This fundamental difference in the way western empires of the northern hemisphere, steeped in Abrahamic traditions, treat objective science and subjective science- and along with that, science as a whole and religion- as opposites, is the immovable limitation to understanding other cultures, especially those of the global south. Scholar Rajiv Malhotra wrote an excellent book on this topic, titled "Being Different: An Indian Answer to Western Universalism." For those interested in the subject, I can't recommend this book enough.
Excellent explanation. We are in the age of knowing and the gatekeepers are getting exposed
The mayans said it was the end of a cycle not the end of time. Remember kids reading is fundamental!
So is punctuation, dude. 😆

My son says, whoever it was that did the calendar, got tired and quit. Nobody else wanted it. It's just that simple.
I'll tell you why. Im married to a Mayan and they tell time with a sundial. If she says she'll be here at 12 noon its more 3 in the afternoon. The whole family is like that. When the Mayans say the apocalypse is December 2012 they mean "ish" plus or minus 500 years.
I am sure that she is lovely and relatively stress free. Most of us are time obssessed. I know that I am. I would rather be somewhere 2 hours early in order not to be 1 minute late. Rushing around like fools, and for what? Enjoy your wife and her wonderful ways, Ronald. 🥂
When the the Mayan talk about any apocalypse the only "ish" is crapish they don't have a clue
Late 2012 = Higgs Boson "God" Particle discovered.
I’m just curious what the thumbnail shows the Aztec calendar when you are talking about the Mayan calendar…
I mean they address exactly that at 2:09 lol
Premium no ads... but sneaky one here
Southerners. Same old story. They just don't get it. Time behaves differently in the north.
Volume is Way too low
Yeah! I have my volume all the way up and it's still way quiet. I thought my phone was broken or something. ✌️
