Stories of the end of mankind have been spreading widely online lately, prompting the US Aerospace Agency to launch a campaign to suppress them.
The doomsday scenarios revolve around some rumors that things will turn to ash when a planet called Nibiru collides with the planet, the Telegraph has said.
Rumors have it that the Sumerians (who lived in the fourth millennium BC and reached a very high level of science and technology before their destruction) discovered the planet Nibiru. They then determined the year it would come into conflict with the planet. It was in 2012.
Many websites have accused the United States Aerospace Agency (NASA) of hiding the truth about the end of the world. But NASA insists these stories are just internet hoaxes.
“The apocalyptic claims of 2012 have no scientific basis. If the Earth was at risk of colliding with an object, astronomers would have detected this object decades before the collision. If the planet called Nibiru was about to strike the earth in 2012, it can now be observed with the naked eye. But nobody sees anything, because the planet does not exist.
Scientists around the world have found no danger to the planet in 2012. In short, our planet will be stable for more than 4 billion years, ”said NASA on the site.
Previously, some theories had suggested that the catastrophic catastrophe would occur in May 2003, but when nothing happens, that date is pushed back to December 21, 2012 – the last date of the ancient Mayan calendar. According to some rumors, on this day there will be planets forming straight lines.
NASA has confirmed that the Mayan calendar will not end on December 21, 2012 and will not have the phenomenon of alignment of the planets. Even if that happened, its impact on the earth would be negligible.
The descendants of the Mayan people in Guatemala and Mexico have expressed their rejection of the “prophecy of the apocalypse”. They were angry that their ancestral beliefs and traditions were being distorted.
“The concept of doom or doom does not exist in the Mayan culture,” Jesus Gomez, head of the Mayan Clergy Alliance in Guatemala, told the Telegraph.
Cirilo Perez, a descendant of the Mayans and also a famous astrologer, is an advisor to Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom. He claimed that Mayan beliefs never mentioned the end of the world. This scholar claims that some individuals deliberately spread rumors of the apocalypse for their own gain.
“With the growth of the Internet, rumors can bring business benefits to some people. Today the Mayan civilization is highly regarded, but in reality very few people understand our ancestors, ”said Perez.
