THE COUNTDOWN

towards the end of a cycle

For some time there has been talk about the termination of an era at the end of 2012. But, what exactly did the mayas say? How can we know what a certain date means precisely? What is its significance and importance? And above all, what does their message mean for us, our culture, and our knowledge?

THE COUNTDOWN

THE NEW ERA

the rebirth of a phase

According to the mayas, on December 21st, 2012, a god will descend from heaven and a cycle of creation will be completed, bringing a complete regeneration of the cosmos and the beginning of a new era. Archaeologists are unanimous: the mayas did not predict the end of the world. Our discontent with society, the desire for change, and the need to overcome so many differences have motivated our hope of being reborn in a New Era.

THE NEW ERA

and the environment

The place destined for living beings and humanity, separated from heaven and the underworld by four sacred ceiba trees, plus another one in the middle.
