As
you know, there are many versions about the end of the world. I'm going to talk
about the Maya’s belief. According to
the Mayan calendar, the end of the world will come on December 21, 2012. They
say that there won't be a disaster, but we will live more united to our souls.
Some people say ‘the end of the world will not arrive because the Mayan calendar hasn’t got leap-years’. So, the world’s end should has been seven months ago… I don’t know if it is true or false, but… do you really believe in the prediction of the Mayans? What will happen if it were true? It’s really mysterious…
I want to show you a video where a man says us some things about the supposed end of the world. Click here to watch it.

Some pictures about the supposed end...
Some
Mayans say that the world will end because jaguars will come to kill us, or due
to volcanoes, earthquakes… But the popular version that a Mayan man said is:
‘In the sky there is a shape like a snake; on its side there are symbols of
constellations and in its womb there are signs of solar and lunar eclipses.
From its open mouth, falls a flow of water into the ground. Under the snake of
the sky, the Old Goddess with long nails like claws, she is the queen of death
and destruction. At the bottom, the black head of war and in it two javelins
and a long stick, all of them pointing down...’
- In my opinion, this is a little fantastic. But no one guesses the future, so we can only
wait…
1. If the world really
had ended… What would you like to do before December 21?
2. There are many different versions about it,
can you tell me any of them that you are interesting?
3. Do you know that
Mayan calendar has not leap-years? What do you think about it?
4. Who is the Old
Goddess? Had you ever heard in other occasion?
I hope you enjoy with my post! Don't forget to watch the video please, it is interesting!

Hello to all!
ReplyDeleteVery good post Ana, interesting and nice term to show us here. I like so much this type of curios things that happen in our civilization. Congratulations ;)
1) If supossly the world will end on 21th December, the days until the final day, I want to stay with my friends and family, and do things that I never do.
2) One teory that I heard is that the poles are going to convert in water and all the ice that is store in the poles is going to be in our seas and oceans, and it is a lot of water! So we die because of floods. Other teory is the climate, the constantly change of climate... It can be another teory about the end of our world
3) I think that if their calendar hasn´t got leap-years, all the things about the end of the world are false. Seeing Mayan´s calendar, the end of the world would be 7 months ago I think!
4)The Old Goddess of the pagans lived on in popular speech, in rituals of hearth and earth, in festival custom with its cargo of symbol and myth
Good afternoon! :D
Hi Ana, Hi class!
ReplyDeleteGood post, as Antonio have said an interesting one... Some people is now terrorified of that. And as Antonio have said, I like to being aware of other cultures, other religions and be aware of theories about 'the End of the World'.
1| I don't know what I would do in the world ends in December but... I think that first I would go to confession. And then, I would do what I want in the moment... Spend time with my family, spend time with some of my friends and I would shout. Shout a lot.
2| Well, a theory that I heard is that the Sun will approach to the Earth. The sky is going to be more and more orange, and then we will die (because the sun will melt us).
3| Yes, I heard it. But, I've to say that if you believe in something, Maths or Science can't change it. I mean, if they said that the world will end 21st December, people who believe it won't change their belief because of the calendar change...
4| I never have heard about the Old Goddess, so I'd to find it in Google.
The Old Goddess of the pagans lived on in popular speech, in rituals and in festival custom. She was still seen as the source of life power and wisdom. People prayed to her for well-being, abundance, protection, and healing.
I personally think two basical things about this theme.
First; we are scared about what will happen, and when we can't control what will happen, we are always scared. You've to think, that if the End of the World comes in two months, it will come, and nobody will stop it.
In second place, I don't mind who believes in that but... If we are catholic, we think that the End of the World will come in a lot of years, and nothing of that Mayas said will happen. So decide if the theme of the End of the World we are Maya or Catholic. IT'S MY OPINION; YOU CAN HAVE OTHER, but this is mine.
Bye class!
Hello everybody!
ReplyDeleteI want to congratulate to Ana for his interesting post, it's a very good theme for show us!! What will happen really? +.+
1- I'd like doing "puenting", skydiving... I'd spend my time with my loved ones, and I'd do things that you can't do any day. And I will try to carry out my dreams!
2- I heard that the Earth's core will explode and all the living beings will die, and also I heard once, that cimply, from a moment to another, we wil disspeared. These are only rumours...
3- I think that it doesn't have leap-years because in the Mayan calendar doesn't fit more years, simply...
4- I never heard about the Old Goddess... I found in Internet this:
The Old Goddess of the pagans lived on in popular speech, in rituals of hearth and earth, in festival custom with its cargo of symbol and myth.
Bye class!!

Hello!
ReplyDeleteAna good post, is very interesting, because people ask to themselvers this question.
1. I would like to use the time to the maximum, if it finish (I hope not) fire me from my family and friends. I would go to Barcelona to say goodbye to my cousins and uncles, especially to confess and take away all my sins, for if it is true that just ... go in peace.
2. I heard a theory that a meteorite compacting to the Earth, this would cause an earthquake, making a tsunami that would wipe out the entire planet. This is one version.
3. In the Mayan calendar did not have leap years (according to some researchers), I think it has nothing to do with leap years to the world.
4. I didn´t heard of this goddess, but I found some information about this:
The Old Goddess of the pagans lived on in popular speech, in rituals of hearth and earth, in festival custom with its cargo of symbol and myth. The Old Goddess rode the winds, causing rain, snow and hail on earth, and that she revealed omens of weather and deaths and other momentous things to come.
Bye!

1- If the world end at the 21 of december, I want to go somewhere with the motorbike of my father.
2- I think that the world will submerge in the sea because of tsunami.
3- If there weren't leap-years, the world be should destroy.
4- I didn't know who was the Goddess, I found a little information about it: The Old Goddess of the pagans lived on in popular speech, in rituals of hearth and earth, in festival custom with its cargo of symbols and myth.

HELLO CLASS!
ReplyDeleteWell Ana, you know that I'm a frightened person, and this topic scared my a lot.
My answers are:
1-I would pass more time with my family and friends and live the life in each moment, but that's what I do now, so i will follow my life like now.
2-I read that will be a big tsunami and all the Earth will be cover of water.
3-Yes, I heard it, and it's fantastic because probably, the world will not finish this year, it wuold finish some months ago.
4-I tried to put a different answer, but I only found the one that some of my partners have:
The Old Goddess of the pagans lived in popular speech, rituals of hearth and earth, in festival custom with its cargo of symbols and myth.
