Apocalypto: Mexican scientists attribute Mayas’ collapse to volcanic eruptions | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 2504849 Portugal 12/18/2011 10:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | City in Mexico begins countdown to winter solstice of December 21, 2012 December 17, 2011 – MEXICO – A city in southern Mexico wants to live each moment as if it were the last. Tourism officials in Tapachula have installed a digital clock to count down the time left before the Dec. 21, 2012, solstice, when some believe the world will end. The clock starts Dec. 21, a year before the supposed apocalypse. Chiapas state tourism regional director Manolo Alfonso Pinot said Friday that Mayan priests will perform a ceremony at the nearby archaeological site of Izapa. Maya experts say the doomsday fears are a misreading of Maya stone inscriptions that mention the date, saying the Mayans only considered it the end of one calendar cycle and the beginning of another.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6470192 United States 12/18/2011 11:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Popocatepetl is one of the most violent volcanoes in Mexico, having had more than 15 major eruptions since the arrival of the Spanish in 1519. A major eruption occurred in 1947 to begin this cycle of activity. Then, on December 21, 1994, the volcano spewed gas and ash which was carried as far as 25 km (16 mi) away by prevailing winds. The activity prompted the evacuation of nearby towns and scientists to begin monitoring for an eruption. In December 2000, tens of thousands of people were evacuated by the government based on the warnings of scientists. The volcano then made its largest display in 1,200 years.[3] Popocatepetl sends a plume of volcanic ash south on January 23, 2001, with Iztaccíhuatl at right.

Although located in the Maya lands, El Chichon volcano was ignored in the past by archaeologists because it was thought to have been dormant for several thousand years. Pozzo’s studies in 2008 found that volcanic tephra (ash) had on several occasions covered the southern Maya region. In particular, eruptions around 539 AD and 900 AD seemed to have been particularly traumatic... [link to www.examiner.com] |
