The December 21, 2012 Mayan prophecy names 3 dates in 3 Mayan calendars
As I said yesterday, this is the great epigrapher David Stuart‘s translation of the one and only 2012 prophecy in the Mayan glyphs:
“The Thirteenth ‘Bak’tun” will be finished
(on) Four Ajaw, the Third of Uniiw (K’ank’in).
? will occur.
(It will be) the descent(??) of the Nine Support? God(s) to the ?”
There are three Mayan calendar days in that prophecy:
1. A “Bak’tun” refers to a date in the Long Count Calendar.
2. An “Ajaw” refers to a date in the Tzolk’in Calendar, on the day called Ajaw
3. An “Uniiw” (or “K’ank”in”) refers to a date in the Haab Calendar during the month of Uniiw
That may sound complicated, but, if you were to look at our calendrical system, you could see that we do the same kind of organizing of our days. For example, today is:
Day 274 in the Year Long Calendar
Day 1 in the Month Long Calendar, this month called October
Day 6 in the Week Long Calendar, this day of the week called Saturday
Translation of the Mayan 2012 prophecy
I love the Mayan Mysteries of 2012: A Young Person’s Guide. It has information and links to articles about 2012. I mentioned a quote about 2012 from David Stuart in a previous post. He has translated the only ancient Mayan prophecy about December 21, 2012. It is carved on Monument 6 in the Tortuguera Mayan ruins in Tabasco, Mexico, in the Yucatan Peninsula. A fantastic sketch of Monument 6 is posted on the Mayan Mysteries of 2012 website. You can see it on this blog site–my post from two days ago.
Following, you’ll see the 2012 prophecy in Mayan and then below it, David Stuart’s translation from the Mayan Mysteries of 2012 website. You’ll notice that part of the prophecy are missing because the Mayan glyphs are not complete due to their age and the effects of weathering.

Guatemalan Mayan elder speaks on 2012

In an online “The Telegraph” article entitled, 2012 is not the end of the world, Pixtun says that the world will not end even though some people are saying that the Mayan calendar says that time will “run out.”
But most archaeologists, astronomers and Mayans say the only thing likely to hit Earth is a meteor shower of New Age philosophy, pop astronomy, internet doomsday rumours and TV specials such as one on the History Channel which mixes “predictions” from Nostradamus and the Mayans and asks: “Is 2012 the year the cosmic clock finally winds down to zero days, zero hope?” ` The Telegraph
I am especially interested in what Mayan elders are saying about 2012, because I will be presenting excerpts from my videotaped interviews of Mayan elders on 2012 when I speak at the Edgar Cayce Forum on October 26th at 7:30 p.m. on “Do Mayan Shamans believe the world will end in 2012?”

David Stuart quote on 2012
Here is an amazing quote from David Stuart, one of the world’s greatest translators of Mayan glyphs.
David Stuart’s parents were both archaeologists. I read a wonderful book by his mother about their experiences in the Mayan ruins in Coba, Yucatan. I’ve heard that David had a Mayan nanny. As a result, he is fluent in Mayan. At 16, he was deciphering Mayan glyphs, because he knew the language and the archaeology. He translated the one text on earth with the 2012 date on it. Half of the inscription on a stone stele is indecipherable because of weathering. The part of the glyphs that David could read say something about an ancient Mayan god named Bolon descending. From this comes all the whoopla about 2012? Here’s the quote from David Stuart I found on a website called, Exposing PseudoAstronomy.
From David Stuart, director of the Mesoamerica Center at the University of Texas at Austin:

I just think it’s sad, it really just frustrates me. People are really misunderstanding this really cool culture by focusing on this 2012 thing. It means more about us than it does about the Maya.”
Interview of Mayan Shaman at Chichen Itza ceremony included in 2012 lecture
During my upcoming presentation at the Edgar Cayce Forum on October 26, 7:30 p.m., at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia, I will also refer to an interview of a Mayan shaman who had just participated in a Spring Equinox ceremony in the vicinity of the Chichen Itza Mayan ruins. I asked him for his predictions for December 21, 2012. This is for my talk called, “Do Mayan Shamans believe the world will end in 2012?”

My Wednesday, October 26th, Edgar Cayce Forum 7:30 p.m. presentation will also include 2012 information I learned during an interview with Mayan expert Robert Sitler, PhD., Stetson University, Deland, Florida, and author of The Living Maya: Ancient Wisdom in the Era of 2012. The seminar is called, “Do Mayan Shamans Think the World Will End in 2012?”

Today I enjoyed reviewing video footage I taped while in Yucatan after the 2009 spring equinox near Chichen Itza. It is an interview of Mayan Daykeeper and Ceremonial Leader Hunbatz Men on his explanation of the Mayan science behind the 2012 prophecies. I am preparing for my presentation, “Do Mayan Shamans Believe the World Will End in 2012,” at the Edgar Cayce Forum on October 26th at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Do Mayan Shamans believe the world will end in 2012?
Here’s a description of my upcoming talk at the Edgar Cayce Forum on October 26, 2011 at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Do Mayan Shamans believe the world will end in 2012?
Carol Chapman wondered what the Maya had to say about 2012. After all, it is a Mayan prophecy that originated all the speculation about December 21, 2012. Were the modern-day Maya preparing for the end of the world? If so, were they afraid or fatalistic? Or, did they even know about the ancient Mayan prophecy? Could it be that all the media about 2012 was only an American phenomenon?
Therefore, while shooting video footage for the Yucatan Travel Movie: Cancun to Chichen Itza, she also interviewed every-day Maya and Mayan Shamans. These interviews became the nucleus of her upcoming presentation: Do Mayan Shamans believe the world will end in 2012? She will be giving her PowerPoint program at the Edgar Cayce Forum on Wednesday, October 26, 2011 at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Her presentation will include videotaped interviews, an explanation of the Maya’s fascinating and complicated calendar system, the actual ancient Mayan prophecy, as well as psychic revelations about the Maya from the trance readings of “the sleeping prophet” Edgar Cayce. For example, the Cayce Atlantis readings say that Atlanteans journeyed to Yucatan, the home of the Maya. Could the ancient Maya’s mathematical and astronomical prowess be the result of their Atlantis connection?
New Age metaphysical author and filmmaker Carol Chapman has traveled four times to the Yucatan and once to Egypt searching for indications that Atlanteans traveled to these locations. She used both her past life regression memories and the trance readings of the American seer Edgar Cayce to guide her explorations. She wrote of her adventures in When We Were Gods and Arrival of the Gods in Egypt.
