Mayan Revelations - (Not) The End of the World | History Documentary

Investigative Journalist, Elisabeth Thieriot, embarks on an epic journey and uncovers previously unseen Mayan artifacts- the actual first stones that created Mayan Calendar model- and the knowledge never before shared outside of the Mayan Nation.
During her filming in the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula and Guatemala, Mayan abuelos dispel the myths about “the December 21st, 2012 end of the world” conspiracy theories surrounding Aztec and Mayan Calendars. Specifically, the mystery and fears surrounding the end of “B’aqtun”, also known as the measurement of time that the Mayans identified as a final 3,300-year cycle. Thieriot went on to investigate why Mayans studied Cosmos as a means of guidance for daily life and social stability. That is where most revelations occurred that differ from the beliefs we held about time, space and the role we can play, when equipped with their knowledge.

In 2005, I spent a month traveling through the Yucatan peninsula with a Mayan shaman descended from a continuous lineage of Mayan shamans. We visited all the Mayan sites in the Yucatan. Much of his teachings about the cosmology and religious significance of the sites was vastly different from the western colonizer interpretation that is still perpetuated by modern archaeology. In particular, we had a lengthy discussion about the Mayan calendar. To say the west got it wrong is an understatement. Mayans NEVER predicted an "end of the world" in 2012 or in any other time. The shaman explained that, similar to Hindu cosmology, Mayans divided up the flow of time into 24, 000 year cycles that break down into two 12, 000 year cycles. Each of these is further divided into specific eras. In Vedic cosmology, these eras are called "yugas" and are characterized by specific evolution and devolution of human societies until they degrade entirely and then the cycle begins again with a period of enlightenment. The Mayan calendar simply said that 2012 was the end of a 12, 000 year cycle. Not the end of the world.

This is the limitation of documentarians and archaeologists putting these types of conclusions together without consulting actual Mayan shamans descended from the traditions.

Furthermore, one other conversation with this shaman stood out. While at Chichen Itza, NASA had just taken over the site for further study so the main pyramid was restricted to the public. NASA could study it for decades and never get it right, he said definitively. He said "as long as the west continues to view science and religion as separate things, they will never understand Chichen Itza. And they will never understand the Maya." This fundamental difference in the way western empires of the northern hemisphere, steeped in Abrahamic traditions, treat objective science and subjective science- and along with that, science as a whole and religion- as opposites, is the immovable limitation to understanding other cultures, especially those of the global south. Scholar Rajiv Malhotra wrote an excellent book on this topic, titled "Being Different: An Indian Answer to Western Universalism." For those interested in the subject, I can't recommend this book enough.

This would have been better with subtitles for those of us who don't speak Spanish.

Why no English subtitles? Disappointing.

The sun rotates on its axis once every 27 days. The 13 day cycle she refers to is erroneous. It is actually 13.5 days, which is s hugely significant difference.
