After the Spanish conquest of the ancient Mayan lands, most records of this ancient and mysterious culture were destroyed. However the Popol Vuh, the Mayan book of creation survived this destruction. What is the 'Popol Vuh," and how does it help us understand more about the prophesies of 2012?
"This is the first account, the first narrative. There was neither man, nor animal, birds, fish, crabs, trees, stones, caves, ravines, grasses, nor forests; there was only the sky. The surface of the earth had not appeared. There was only the calm sea and the great expanse of the sky. There was nothing brought together, nothing which could make a noise, nor anything which might move, or tremble, or could make noise in the sky."
Then came the creators...
The creators of Earth came from the 'heavens," probably related to Venus, as the planet Venus is the focal point of Mayan astronomy, and the center point of alignment with many ancient Mayan monuments.
The creators, "first attempted to create humans so that they may be praised and venerated by their creation. Their first attempts (animals, mud man, and wooden man) proved unsuccessful because they lacked speech, souls, and/or intellect."
As the "Popol Vuh" ends these creators tried unsuccessfully to create Humankind, but at the end created an intellectual species of Men and Women. Throughout the book of creation, stories are told about how the Earth was transformed by these creators, and their knowledge passed on to Humankind, including the fabled Mayan Calendar.
The Mayan book of Creation survived solely because a Spanish Friar, Father Ximénez's kept and preserved the Holy book, in 1701. It is thanks to Father Ximenez, that the book of Creation survives, as all other writing was destroyed by order of the Church.
We can surmise that the 'Popol Vu" view of creation sounds similar to both the Bible's version of creation, and to some believers is evidence that our creators may of come from outer space.
Strange artifacts dotted around ancient Mayan lands do include the "Esperanza Stone," and ancient pillars which are not made from any materials currently known on Earth. These ancient artifacts are thousands of years old, reinforcing this unorthodox theory of creation.
There is no sound reason to deny that the Mayan knew the exact birth date of Venus, as their fabled Calendar started on this date. They also knew the exact date of the Mayan "End of days," when Earth is aligned with the Sun and the center of the Universe, which falls on the 21st December, 2012.- a once in 26.000 year cosmic event. Yet, we only can surmise what events the ancient Maya knew would happen on the day of alignment.
