New Library Display on the Maya 2012 Prophesy



Will solar flares destroy the earth on December 21st? 
Will the mysterious planet X (Nibiru) hit the earth on December 21st? 
Will a galactic alignment cause the earth’s destruction on December 21st?

These are just some of the ideas that are disproved through the Ort Library’s new exhibit, The Mayan Calendar: Will the World End on December 21st? For the past several years, there have been those that put forth the idea of a great catastrophe on December 21, 2012, the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar.  Many books and newspaper articles have been written and documentaries have been created on this subject.  This display will provide information about the Mayan Calendar, the December 21, 2012 prophecy, proof that the world will not end on December 21st, and share some of the more interesting books written on this topic.  The display is available on the 3rd floor of the library (main floor) through December.

Will solar flares destroy the earth on December 21st
NO – solar flares will peak in 2013 not 2012

Will the mysterious planet X (Nibiru) hit the earth on December 21st
NO – scientists would see an object the size of a planet heading our way and we would already be able to see it in the sky (it would be larger than the moon)

Will a galactic alignment cause the earth’s destruction on December 21st?
NO – there have been several “galactic alignments” over the past several years and none have caused the earth’s destruction
