题目：玛雅天文学与2012大预言（Maya Apocalypse in 2012?:A critical view from the Mesoamerican astronomy and culture）



摘要：

In recent months the idea has spread which, according to some Maya prophecies, a global cataclysm will happen in December 2012, with serious consequences for humanity. This talk presents the views of the science community on such a claim. It will explain the Maya system of time calculation and why 2012 may be designated as a special year, while also showing the archaeological remains that led to this interpretation. At the same time, it will also discuss the impossibility of an accurate astronomical prediction on a planetary cataclysm.

From the mural painting recently discovered in the city of Mayapan, there is the possibility that pre-Columbian Mayas were able to record the transit of Venus across the solar disk. On June 5 2012 an event of this type occurred, so it is proposed that the Maya priest-astronomers may have set their own calendrical system so that on the day of this transit an important calendrical cycle would be completed.
