آخر دنیا با تقویم مایاها به پایان رسید و خورشید بار دیگر در 22 دسامبر طلوع کرد و همه مردم مثل دیگر روزها از خواب برخاستند و به سر کار خود رفتند.
روستای شیرینجه در ازمیر ترکیه از سوی باورمندان به پایان دنیا به عنوان یک محل امن معرفی شده بود؛ از این رو این روستا در هفته گذشته به محل تجمع هزاران نفر از توریست ها از سرتاسر جهان تبدیل شده بود.
روز گذشته همزمان با گذشت ساعت ها و نزدیکی به غروب آفتاب توریست های تجمع کرده در شیرینجه ترکیه نگرانی از روز قیامت را تبدیل به " فستیوال شادی " کردند و این شادمانی همزمان با اطمینان تجمع کنندگان از اینکه هیچ حادثه ای روی نداده و نخواهد داد، پر رنگ تر شد تاجایی که در برخی مواقع افراط برخی توریست ها در مصرف نوشیدنی های الکلی منجر به بروز درگیری شد و پلیس را مجبور به عکس العمل کرد.
رسانه های ترکیه دیروز (شنبه) بیشتر با تیترهایی با این مضمون" ازقیامت دنیا تا شادمانی شیرینجه" منتشر شدند.
مراسم و جشنهای روز آخر دنیا در تقویم مایا
TIKAL, Guatemala (AFP) - A global day of lighthearted doom-themed celebration and superstitious scare-mongering culminated Friday at the temples of the Mayan people, whose calendar sparked fears of apocalypse.
Dec 21, 2012, marked the end of an era that lasted 5,200 years, according to the Mayan "Long Count" calendar.
Some believe the date, which coincides with the solstice, marks the end of the world as foretold by Mayan hieroglyphs.
But "No, no," scholars and native elders said - it just marks the end of the old Mayan calendar and the beginning of a new one.
در باور مایاها روز 21 دسامبر 2012 پایان تقویم 5500 ساله است، اما برای بعضی تنها به معنی پایان یک عصر و شروع عصر جدید است. در زیر جشنهای مرتبط با شروع عصر جدید در تقویم مایاها و انجام دعا و مراسم مخصوص آنرا می بینیم:
