The world will not go under in 2012 . There is no Planet X come and destroy us all, not a solar storm will destroy us , and Pole Shifts , synchronization rays , the comet cultivated land, and the super volcano will leave us alone. The Mayan calendar does not end on 21.12.2012 and there is no Mayan prophecy about 2012. The whole world was going to hysteria is complete nonsense. But - this is a question which one asks me very often - if that's all wrong, why are there so many people who spread these allegations?
If the world does not go under 2012 in 2012, when nothing happens especially: Why then is heard all over the internet, including in newspapers and on television? Why is everyone talking about the apocalypse, if there were not some truth to it somewhere? The answer is quite simple: money! With the fear of doomsday is a great place to earn money.
One of the first to record the history of the "end of the Mayan calendar" on 21 December 2012 has spread, was Jose Arguelles . He was not a scientist, not a painter but Maya scholars and author of numerous esoteric books. In one of them, "The Mayan Factor" , in 1987, he thought the story of the " galactic synchronization "and 21 From December 2012. Arguelles was not only looking for buyers for his books but also for his attention to some wild ideas. He was, for example, believed that the world would need a new calendar introduced:
"If the human race, the current Gregorian calendar has 12 months does not abolish and replaced until 26 July 1995 by the new 28-day calendar and its 13 months, it will destroy itself soon. (...) In order to implement its program have the 'Autonomous People's Planetary Moral Emergency Committee of the Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Movement, the leaders of this world a' Biosphere oath 'shall be accomplished by the calendar change. leaders who have this oath will have until July 24, 1995 period, in order to do their public support for the new calendar known. If they refuse, they will be publicly described as 'enemies of the biosphere' to this day. "
And still it goes on throughout the 2012-hysteria primarily about making money and / or to attract attention. For a long time, the employment of the 21 December 2012 on certain areas of the esoteric scene is limited. Like all the other doomsday dates that propagates through the centuries would have been unnoticed even this date relative to the majority of people passed. If not there would have been Hollywood. In November 2009 came the movie "2012" in the cinema. In the film industry has, of course, know how to properly make and advertising knows that drama, hysteria and panic always worthwhile if you want to attract people's attention. So efforts were made to keep the fear of the apocalypse as high as possible and they with viral marketing campaigns to increase even more.
With success! In the weeks before the movie became more frequent in the media reports about the supposed doomsday, there were heaps of pseudo-documentary (including, for example, the horrible show "The Nostradamus Effect: 2012 - The End of the World" which was in September 2009 for the first time broadcast or the scandalous episode of "World of Wonders", which brought me today still regularly frightened emails) and sent a newspaper is not hardly talked about the supposedly imminent end of the world. With scares you rate! When it comes to the end of the world, then look toward the people and turn. Then in November 2009, the disaster movie came out , reached the 2012 peak of hysteria.
This hysteria has not disappeared since then and will get more and more people alive. For after the first issue thanks to Hollywood had become widely known in society, many people quickly realized that they still jump on the train and the fear of people could make money.
One only has time view of who is interviewed in the relevant "documents" as an "expert" on Mayan Calendar and Doomsday. There would be, for example, the journalist and author Daniel Pinchbeck , the author John Major Jenkins , the television producer and author Marshall Masters , the writer Patrick Geryl , ... It is distinguished from a certain pattern. All the people who tell so willing and excited about the impending doom and the mysteries of the Mayan calendar and to have nothing against it, as "researchers", "experts" called etc, have all written books about 2012 (in most cases even more) . Of course they also have an interest so that the issue is further represented in the media. The more people who have anxiety before 2012, the more books they sell. The have also thought of hundreds of other authors, the list of books on the topic "2012" includes hundreds of titles and they act almost exclusively on what lie ahead for big changes and disasters. Critical and rational world literature on the alleged demise is almost non-existent (there are exceptions ). Is it any wonder, for a book that explains why 2012 is nothing special happens sold nowhere near as good as one that is really pretty hysterical and alarmist.
