News Journal Online's Staff writer Patricio G. Bolona took up the subject of 2012 as it relates to the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar and doomsday prophesies in his article, Will 2012 be the end of the world?
Bolona examines the doomsday movie scenario and mentions two contrasting interpretations of Mayan prophecies: Doomsday cataclysm and a shift in consciousness. He then introduces Guatemalan writer, teacher and cultural activist Gaspar Gonzalez, a Mayan scholar fluent in Mayan tongues. His conclusion? It is not the end of the world, but the end of an era.
Interestingly enough, although Mayan priest Martino Katz'im predicts a cataclysmic end by fire and monsters, he says it won't be in 2012.
