There is hardly any person at present who is not aware of the end of the world that is predicted to happen on the 20th of December, 2012. People throughout the world are anxious about what's going to occur on this particular day. Some of them take the predicted end of the world seriously, others are more skeptical. Fatal predictions were made several times before and still nothing happened. Then what is the reason for so much fuss about the year of 2012? Is it in some way different from what we have seen before?
The most evident interpretation why the year of 2012 is so much spoken about is given by historians. The thing is that the famous Mayan calendar that is considered to be very precise ends on December 20, 2012. There are some thoughts why the calendar ends on this day, but the version of the end of the world seems the most likely. Let's consider this issue from the point of view of scientists in other spheres.
For example, ecologists notice obvious changes in the climate on the Earth. These changes are referred to as global warming. The greenhouse effect of the atmosphere is definitely observed and leads to some considerable climate changes. So there is a point of view that some ecological catastrophe is about to blow up. Taking into account that there are a number of places covered with snow and ice on the Earth some experts suggest that all-round melting of the ice is quite possible.
One more explanation that is the most credible is the astrologers' theory regarding the astrologic era changing. According to astrologic cycles the 20th of December, 2012 is the last day of the Pisces era that has continued for 2000 years. Then comes the Aquarius era. It is supposed that in the Aquarius era the humankind will enjoy harmony. Professionals declare that it'll be the era when all the people understand each other and all the boundaries are eliminated. The humankind will attain high level of moral development.
So the versions are large in number. We will see which one will turn out to be correct in future. |
