According to an inscription in Temple XIX at the Mayan site of Palenque, a catastrophic event occurred around 3300 BC.

Now scientists have found jewelry in Egyptian tombs made from meteoric iron that dates to, you guessed it– 3300 BC. Coincidence? Read the story below and decide for yourself:

Russian Fireball Won’t Be Last Surprise Asteroid Attack
As I noted in my book Mayan Calendar Prophecies: Predictions for 2012-2052, the time period after December 21, 2012 should see an increase in catastrophes such as meteor airburst and impact events like the one that took place in Russia on February 15, 2013. I made this assessment based on my interpretation of the ancient writings and astronomical records of the Maya. I argued that the Maya were aware of multiple cycles … Read entire article »

In fact, these “prophecies” were more like scientific forecasts based on the discovery of a repeating cycle of such cosmic catastrophes the author argues.

Luckily the Maya even recorded the date this event occurred on and … Read entire article »

Why the Maya calendar starts in 3114 BC
Dr. Mike Baillie at the Queen’s University in Belfast, Ireland has made a very interesting discovery. He noticed that peaks in ammonium and nitrate in the ice core record, signatures of comet impacts with Earth, occur on or near baktun endings in the Mayan calendar. (The 13th and final baktun of the current calendar cycle ends on December 21, 2012.) This discovery suggests that the ancient Maya were aware of a cycle … Read entire article »

Asteroid Apophis Could Hit Earth in 2036
Mayan predictions for the years 2032-2052 include the phrase “all will be lost,” implying a major catastrophic event for civilization. I discuss this “prophecy” in my book Mayan Calendar Prophecies: Predictions for 2012-2052. Unnervingly, NASA is currently tracking an asteroid named Apophis that has a chance of smashing into Earth in 2036. Based on its size, the impact would release energy equivalent to 500 megatons. By comparison, the Barringer Crater in Arizona was … Read entire article »

Air Force to Share Its Info on Planet-Flattening Meteorites
According to Mayan and Aztec beliefs, the world has been destroyed four or five times in the past. The description of these events bear striking resemblance to impact events. Did the Maya and Aztecs record eye-witness accounts of asteroids or comets smashing into Earth and resetting civilizations back to a zero point each time? How often do such events really happen? Will the end of the current Mayan calendar coincide with another … Read entire article »
