About eight years ago John Major Jenkins
and I had a debate about the meaning of the Mayan calendar end date
focusing especially on whether the energies of the Long Count ends on
October 28, 2011 or December 21, 2012. This still remains the most
important question anybody interested in the “2012 phenomenon” is faced
with, but while at the time the debate might have seemed theoretical,
or even hairsplitting, it is now a question that has very significant
and practical consequences as to how we relate to the future. While
many would like to sweep the end date question under the rug or sit on
the fence, no one can do so with their intellectual integrity intact.
Since that debate Jenkins has appeared on a History Channel documentary
where December 21 2012 is presented as a predetermined “doomsday” when
the world is going to come to an end. I get quite a few letters,
sometimes from young people that worry that the world will come to an
end at this date since they have seen this documentary posted on
YouTube. While most knowledgeable people would probably reject this way
of presenting the Mayan calendar it is still important to ask the
question who benefits from it. I feel there are indeed many people,
also apart from the participants in such documentaries that benefit
from the claim that the Mayan calendar ends December 21, 2012. Thus, I
do not think that it is an accident that we do not hear of the October
28, 2011 date in public media. To begin with, as far as I know no one
who adheres to the end date of October 28, 2011 has ever presented this
as a predetermined doomsday and thus unduly associated the Mayan
calendar with fear.The risks of believing that the Mayan calendar ends December 21, 2012!
