Record summary
AI-recalled; source quality 5; corroboration 0. The 2012 transition from one Maya Long Count period to another generated global claims about apocalypse, transformation, or extraterrestrial prediction. Maya inscriptions and calendrical practice instead indicate a calendrical rollover, with ancient texts sometimes extending dates far beyond 2012. This is useful for comparing primary evidence, colonial transmission, popular esotericism, and indigenous responses to external interpretations. The lead is not a mysterious event but a modern reception history grounded in identifiable inscriptions, especially La Corona Panel 6 and Tortuguero Monument 6.
