Yes, there is a connection – one of Elvis’ famed white jumpsuits had an image of the ancient Aztec Sun Stone Calendar embroidered on it. And the Sun Stone was the Aztec reinterpretation of the Mayan Long Count Calendar. Now Elvis loved exotic imagery, so the Aztec calendar was part of a range of images that appeared on his jumpsuits, such as peacocks, Inca gold leaf, and a Chinese dragon. But this is the suit he wore the most in his final year alive, and he also wore it during his last ever concert.

Interestingly, especially for those who think 2012 is connected to numerology, the Aztec image on Elvis’ jumpsuit has 16 points around the outside, and 8 on the inside – seemingly pointing to the day he died: Aug 16 1977.

Michael C. Luckman, author of Alien Rock: The Rock ‘n’ Roll Extraterrestrial Connection, said that ”Elvis felt that the Mayans were right on target with their so-called doomsday calendar, so much so that the King wore a jumpsuit featuring the Mayan calendar“. Although this is remotely possible, the general public had not heard of the Long Count calendar back then, and had Elvis known of it, he’d surely also be describing the image as Aztec.

The jumpsuit can be seen on display at Graceland.

Mayan

This Mayan monument has been much discussed in academic circles, due to it apparently prophesying the descent of a god(s) in 2012.

…(long ago) it happened, the day Eight Chuwen, the ninth of Mak
when the Becoming-Ripe-House was constructed(?).
It was the ‘underground house’ (shrine) of (the god) Ahkal K’uk’.
It was two and nine-score days, three years, eight-score years and 3 x 400 years
(before) the Thirteenth Bak’tun will end
on Four Ajaw, the third of Uniiw,
when ..?.. it will occur,
the descent..?.. of B’olon Yookte’ at ..?..

The authors of this translation, which added fire to some doomsday theories, have now stated that this monument is not unique as they originally thought, and that it should not be taken so seriously:

Whatever Monument 6 has to tell us pertains to the dedication of the building associated with the sculpture. It has nothing to do with prophecy or the supposed, dread events that await us in AD 2012. About that the Maya are notably silent…or, truth be told, a bit boring.

Articles

For a publication with the reach of the Daily Mail, suggesting that some people are considering killing themselves – as a response to the 2012 meme – is irresponsible. It will almost certainly cause some additional people to make such a consideration.

There is nothing new in the article at all – just a mish mash of articles that have appeared over the years.
