Yuri Knorozov is a man of amazing and difficult fate. TO Unfortunately, not without Russian sins, he became a laureate of the State Prize USSR and cavalier of the highest state award of Mexico, but he died in the 99th year in complete oblivion. Employee of the famous Leningrad Institute named after Miklouho-Maclay, for many years he was “restricted to travel abroad” and never in Mexico, neither in Guatemala, nor in Belize, nor in El Salvador, nor in Honduras – and on the territory of these states the empire was located Mayan. But in the silence of his office, it was he who deciphered the mysterious Mayan writings and founded the whole world scientific school where The main violin is still played by the Russians. 
Photos from open sources Did Knorozov predict the end of the world? For myself, yes. The fact is that, according to the canons of Marxism, such hieroglyphs, as in Maya, correspond to the stage of the developed class state. However, one of Engels’s works states: “Maya “there was no state.” Thus, in Soviet times, Knorozov could easily be blamed for revising Marxism. That would be on at times a true end of the world. But back to the fact that using Knorozov’s now recognized worldwide technique decrypt in the Mayan calendar. Saturday News met with two people who study Mayan culture. So what are the keys Knorozov left us? On the shelves of the office mixed a lot of Native American cultures: Aymara, Aztecs and, of course, Maya. Meaning creepy the symbolism with which the room is filled explains the student of the great Knorozova and the world-famous epigraphist scientist Galina Ershova, which we hardly found in Moscow between the next business trips to Mexico and Guatemala. So is there a point in the calendar Mayan? – Absolutely. Here we come out of the constellation Jaguar, and moving to Monkey. – That is, December 21, December 23, when this constellation will end … – … the Jaguar constellation, the sun will begin enter the Monkey constellation. The vernal equinox. All. it wonderful event. Is the end of the world coming? Why, after reading Knorozov, the next end of the world in his book “Metro” predicts the now fashionable writer Dmitry Glukhovsky? – If not there was a demand, interest, people would not want to savor, represent the end of the world, there would not be so many films, pseudoscientific articles. We want to talk about it. We like it on this subject. fantasize, portray, proclaim the end of the world.
However, the Glukhovsky doomsday writes off to 2033 and in the result of a nuclear apocalypse. And here is a prologue to his other the sensational book, “Twilight”, in fact, was the film “Apocalypse” by Mel Gibson. In the picture about the Mayan civilization before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors have it all: fierce wars with neighboring tribes like consider scientists exaggerated by Gibson human sacrifices and mysterious mystical rituals. However, the Indians pushed back no end of the world. For the light, for the luminaries they, on the contrary, were watching. Experienced astronomers, so amazingly accurate having arranged their pyramids in astronomical coordinates, Mayans, Nevertheless, they did not even predict the end of their world: namely the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. The calendar that has become famous Maya, who supposedly predicted us until December of this year, discovered neither yesterday nor a year ago, and not even ten. He was found yet in 58th on a narrow high panel in the town of Tortuguero in Tabasco. Investigated in the 70s. The calendar describes 13 large cycles and ends with the end of cycle 13, but there’s nothing strange about it. Galina Ershova explains why. – This is not some beautiful record. Mayan. This is just the end of cycle 13. And that’s all. That is, the tenant designated some astronomical calculations to show how any official need to superiors. And it was a very important step for them. That is, they justified themselves, their existence, and at the same time boasted of how they know how to count. And there was something to brag about. Because in fact, this date suggests that when this date will come, Mars will begin reversed movements. And you imagine, Mars walks, then makes a loop, and then moves further. Glukhovsky also found out for himself when, being in Guatemala, wrote the book Twilight. – Unlike the Scandinavian civilization, Catholicism and other Mayan faiths have never been anywhere predicted the end of the world. Their calendar is cyclical, and at the end The cycle should begin next. Then why now the idea arose that the Mayan calendar ends at the end of December? Galina Ershova believes that this is from ignorance. – Its from illiteracy. It’s hard for people to teach the country, read a textbook, strain to see something. All rummage in the Internet garbage. We will rummage too. What will December bring to us? Nothing wrong. The Mayan reference system dates back to 3114 BC, and 13 baktuns continue – these are five and a few thousand years. The end of this big cycle means nothing but the beginning a new, exactly the same cycle on the same calendar. Simply put, the simple transition of the vernal equinox from Jaguar constellation in the constellation Monkey, in our opinion – from Pisces to Aquarius, explains Yershov. – People imagine the Mayan calendar – this is a diary: bought for a year, finished the last page, broke – and the calendar ended. This is complete nonsense. Go buy following. The next year is a diary. Maya is the same. They are not brought the calendar calculations. Moreover, this is not the first, not the farthest date of their settlement. They have numbers that are recorded with sixteen zeros. So if we talk about the end of the world, the bill goes so millions that I can’t even pronounce these numbers.
