The Mayans
The End is The Beginning
Fas & Me (… or the gay Jesus and Mohammed version)
- Meet The Parents… (photo’s of us 2012) -
In 2012, Faslie, whose full name is Mohammed, and I (Peter, full name Pieter) first met. He had been selected through a Malaysian student program to study at Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands. We initially connected through a date arranged on Grindr, and on our second outing, we attempted to drive to Paris but only made it as far as Antwerp. Faslie, being as social as he is, quickly made a lot of friends. We all began to refer to each other as family since many of us did not have close ties with our biological relatives for various reasons. Our story is about our collective journey, and to frame it, we start by connecting it to the Mayan calendar and the people we considered family.

The Mayans
The Maya civilization, dating back to around 2000 BCE, thrived in regions of present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador. It peaked during the Classic Period (250-900 CE) with over 40 cities and a population of approximately 10 million. Society was hierarchical, with kings, nobles, priests, and farmers. Agriculture was central, utilizing innovative techniques, and their diet included corn, beans, and squash. Religion was paramount, as the Maya were polytheistic, worshipping nature deities and practicing animism. They are notable for creating a sophisticated 365-day calendar.

The Great Flood
Although I don’t have close ties with my family I continue re-telling our story with where I’m from; originally Sealand where a tsunami once flooded a big part of the Netherlands just like in the Story of Noah. Noah build an arc just as the people in the movie 2012 did to save life in a dying world. We at Eartheories do the same, only our promise is to leave no one behind.

The Great Conjunction & The Age of The Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius is an astrological period lasting about 2,160 years, marked by a transition from the Age of Pisces. It signifies a shift towards harmony, innovation, and collective consciousness, moving from an individualistic focus to a communal one. This era emphasizes intellectualism, humanitarian values, and expanded consciousness, heralding significant societal transformations. Debate exists regarding its exact start, with some claiming it began as early as 2012 or 2020. Each zodiac sign will be influenced differently, embracing unique strengths to contribute to a more connected and equitable future.
