Delay in Doomsday article

2008-10-17T22:37:00.000-07:00

Due to some slight schedule changes, the doomsday article I had promised will be delayed. I have started it

Ill give you a sneak peek however because of the delay

Here;s the description:

"The Maya Doomsday-you've probably heard of it once or twice before. But what is its importance? Why has this gotten so much more attention than any other "doomsday" prophecies. This article will explain in detail where this idea originated, and what has driven its popularity."

Here's the first two paragraphs:

December 21, 2012; a date thought of by some to have no importance, but thought of by others to be the their final day here on earth. But where'd this idea originate of there being a "doomsday?"

As you all know, previous doomsdays, have obviously not happened. 2000 did not leave us at our demise, May 28, 2001 did not start a rapture, and no nuclear war came on May 29, 2002. So why has this doomsday gotten so much attention, and is this actually going to happen?

I then go on to talk about the background information of the Maya, and explain the reasons why people do and don't believe this doomsday will happen, as well as who came up with the idea of a doomsday.

I will hopefully finish the article with two days.

The Article has been published!

I have great news! My Triond Article has indeed been published! You can see it at http://www.socyberty.com/History/The-Maya-Civilization.290821/2

I know there are some spelling mistakes, and some rewording needed. For some reason, I also forgot to put my email. I submitted a fix to Triond, so hopefully it will take effect soon.

Because I left out my email in the article, I'll leave it in this article. You can email me at: bengmayanmaster@gmail.com

I hope you enjoy the article, and I am working hard to make the necessary fixes

What's new:

My first Triond article is about to be published! Yay! Well, I won't know the websites it will be on until I publish it, so for now I'll just give you some of the details. This article is a speech I did for school about the Maya civilization, with some added facts and information to go along with it, as well as a collage. The Maya were a Mesoamerican civilization that thrived from as early as 3000 B.C until the mid 1500's. They were one of the most advanced Mesoamerican civilizations of their time, and discovered and created a great multitude of things, including writing, the number zero, the dates of asronomical events, and more.

I will hopefully be posting a followup to this sometime in the future about the Mayan counting system. I will probably post an entry about the basics of their counting in a few days, but I won't be posting about how to convert American numbers into Mayan numbers until I understand it better...I MEAN um..until I have more time on my hands...

Well anyway, I'll keep you updated on the Triond stuffs, so visit back soon
