Indigenous
Maya communities in southern Mexico have begun a year-long countdown to 21
December 2012, which will mark the end of a five-millenia cycle in the ancient
Mayan calendar.
Some people
have interpreted the prophesy as predicting the apocalypse.
But experts
say it signifies the end of an era, not the end of the world.
Maya
priests have been holding special religious ceremonies, and Mexican tourism
officials are preparing for a surge in visitors to the region.
Mexico's
tourism agency says it hopes to draw around 52 million visitors in 2012, with
many heading to the Maya heartland in the southern states of Chiapas, Yucatan,
Quintana Roo and Tabasco.
Powerful
god
The Mayan
civilisation, which reached its peak between 250 and 900AD, was fascinated by
astronomy, mathematics and the cycles of time.
Its Long
Count calendar began in 3114BC and moves forward in 394-year periods known as
Baktuns.
The winter
solstice in 2012 marks the end of the 13th Baktun, a date of special
significance that reflects celestial alignments recognised by modern
astronomers.
The idea
that it could mean the end of the world - based on a Mayan text carved into a
stone 1,300 years ago - has been spread on thousands of websites.
But
archaeologists and Maya experts say the prophesy predicts the return to Earth
of a powerful god and the start of a new era, not a global catastrophe.
They point
out that other Maya prophesies refer to events far in the future.
This has
not stopped the spread of millennial fears around the world.
Tourism
officials are hoping that some of those who believe the end of the world is
nigh will take the opportunity to visit the Maya region before it is too late.
