Epic Doomsday By: Maria Eloisa L. Montablan
A pleasant Morning to our respectable Professor, Ma’am Dela Cruz and also to my fellow students, the BBTE 2-1. I’m here in front of you to deliver my speech entitled Epic Doomsday. It is my article last year for the trending issue about end of the world. Okay let me start! As I woke up last morning, I felt the cold breeze throughout my skin, I can see the sunlight passing through my window and I heard the chirp of the birds in the roof. With a sigh, I realize something, something that makes me feel better. It is the fact that the world did not end yesterday. What is the end of the world for you? Is it when you failed to defend your thesis in a particular moment? Or when you got a failing grade? Or maybe when someone broke your heart without any significant reason? But for Mayans, the end of the world was last 21. As of now, many people are still wondering why end of the world did not happened last December 21, 2012. There’s a big question mark in their minds. Why? What do you think was the apparent reason? According to an ancient Mayan prophecy, 12-21-12 will be the end of the world. It is the end of the “long count” calendar of the Mayan civilization. It says that Friday will mark the end of a 5,125 year cycle which has been interpreted. The Mayan calendar moves in a cycle with the last cycle ending is December 2012, this is often inferred. “The world will end on December 21, 2012 at 11:11, the best doomsday prophecies in history” because the last day of Mayan Calendar corresponds with Winter Season or December Season.
“But the whole thing was a misconception from the very beginning” said Dr. John Carlson, director of the Center for Archaeoastronomy. “The Mayan calendar did not end last December 21, and there were no Mayan prophecies foretelling the end of the world on that date”. It was just a wrong interpretation about that calendar and it shows. You’re still breathing, your heart is
