Due archeologi americani, Arlen e Diane Chase, rivelano che la vera data dell’antica profezia è un’altra. Sono riusciti a penetrare i segreti dei Maya, realizzando la mappa dell’antica città di Caracol, in Belize, oggi coperta dalla giungla. Con la tecnologia LIDAR, basata su un laser montato su un aereo, sono riusciti, in un solo giorno, a ricostruire l’intera città di Caracol. Ha commentato Diana Chase: « Siamo stupefatti. L’uso del Lidar rivoluzionerà l’archeologia sui Maya allo stesso modo in cui lo hanno fatto la datazione al carbonio negli anni ’50 e l’interpretazione dei geroglifici Maya negli anni ’80 e ’90 .
The LIDAR will revolutionize knowledge of the Mayan civilization, as it allows you to analyze an entire urban settlement and the surrounding area, allowing you to identify the differences between the territories occupied by the Maya and those occupied by the other ancient civilizations. From these studies it is known that the proceeds 'prophecy' Maya is the 2012 invention of the "new age . The current Mayan time cycle would end in 4946, and December 22, 2012.
Mayan astronomy was very advanced, was based on direct observations and detailed surveys of the sky and on the cycles of the planets, which were recorded on paper or in code with hieroglyphs stone. The hardest thing was figuring out what this civilization was complex, scientists had to create models to explain it, but with the LIDAR data from the refining of the knowledge of this ancient people. The ancient inhabitants had to have a close relationship with the surrounding environment, which managed very carefully. At Caracol, moreover, were also made discoveries about the human sacrifice rituals, which were part of their religion.
The data obtained with the LIDAR will help to understand what was important anthropogenic action of the Maya, that is, how deeply they had changed the landscape they occupied, and this may help to explain why they abandoned these lands; a process which evolved into more than 150 years. The LIDAR data will identify as an influence on this process, regional differences. The city of Caracol stretched for 177 square kilometers, it was great, but unlike the modern western cities, the Maya v'integrarono areas devoted to agriculture, with the presence of terraces and water tanks, was a form of urbanism ' low intensity. " Other cities were like Tikal, Calakmul and Coba, all the same size.
The LIDAR is a product developed under the NASA Space Archaeology Program, which includes the use of IKONOS and LIDAR laser and the results of the latter were higher than those obtained from IKONOS. The Caracol Archaeological Project is a collaborative effort between the 'University of Central Florida Institute of Archaeology in Belize and the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping , which has carried out aerial surveys and prepared the data collected by LIDAR.
