Who created the earth?
Aristotle
It was the great philosopher Aristotle who first discovered that the earth was round. When he was observing a lunar eclipse, he found that the shadow on the moon was arc-shaped. He thought that the lunar eclipse was the projection of the earth on the moon. Since the shadow was arc-shaped, it meant that the shape of the earth was spherical.
Later, the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras took advantage of the fact that there is no shadow on an object when the sun shines directly on a certain place during the summer solstice. angle, it is calculated that the circumference of the earth is about 48,000 kilometers.
The first scientific proof that the earth is round was the circumnavigation of the world organized by Portuguese navigator Magellan in the early 16th century.
What are the five major predictions of the Mayans?
1. The Mayans predicted their own demise. The Mayans have a prophecy book that has been passed down for thousands of years, called "The Book of Leopard Prophecy". They believe in the prophecies recorded in this book as they believe in gods. In 1696, a Spanish priest arrived in South America and wanted to conquer the Mayan tribe. The tribal leader said calmly: "According to the prophecy, the day has not come for us to betray God. Please come back in four months." Four months later , all the Mayans disappeared, leaving no one behind.
2. The Mayans used pictures to describe the scene where high-tech cars, airplanes, rockets, etc. would appear on the earth. This language was rumored to be on a stone tablet in a temple 1,500 years ago, but the legendary temple has not yet been found.
3. It is predicted that there will be two devastating wars on the earth. What's even more amazing is that the prophecy book says: "Defeat the lion and the eagle, and finally pick the "sun"." Corresponding to the final surrender of Japan, Germany and Italy.
4. It’s about the big devil. He provoked a war involving 61 countries. More than 90 million people died around the world, and more than 5 trillion US dollars were wasted. Mayan prophecies called him a "war madman" and even engraved the big devil's birth date: April 20, 1889 and death time: April 30, 1945 in their temple. If you go to the ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Palenque now, you can still find the numbers of these two rivers.
5. 2012 is the last year of the Mayans, and on December 21, the world will be destroyed.
Extended information:
In fact, later, scientists studying Mayan culture confirmed that 2012 is the last day of the Mayan calendar, just like the cycle of the 12 zodiac signs, and it is not the end of the world.
"The earth is not owned by humans, but humans belong to the earth." - This great prophecy tells us that humans are just a species on the earth, and the earth is the ** between humans and all things in nature. *Same home. Only when humans live in peace with nature can they better own this "home".
Perhaps it is God's will, or it may be the arrangement of history, so that the once glorious Mayan civilization only left some vague and cruel relics, and it is impossible to judge.

What the earth looks like when it is 1 year old
There are no living things.
There are no living things. The reason is that, first, the earth had just been formed at that time, and there was gushing magma everywhere, and there was not even liquid water. Life forms could not survive in this environment.
Secondly, there were no organic compounds like amino acids and bases on the earth at that time. Even if there are these, in this environment, the basic substances that constitute a living body cannot be formed at all, and therefore a living body cannot be formed at all.
Earth’s population is 8 billion
World’s population: 8 billion.
World population refers to the total population of the earth at a certain time. It continued to grow after the Black Death and the Great Famine in Europe in the 1350s. At that time, there were approximately 370 million people in the world. Subsequently, due to war and other factors, the growth rate was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. After the Second World War, starting in the 1950s, the world's population growth rate accelerated significantly - more than 1.8% per year - due to the reduction of factors causing population growth to slow down. This state lasted until 1970.
In 1963, the world population increased by 2.2%, reaching a historical peak. Subsequently, with economic development, people's views on fertility changed, and the population growth rate gradually declined. On November 15, 2022, the United Nations announced that the world's population reached 8 billion.
Growth
Population issues have attracted more and more attention from the international community. Since 1954, the United Nations has held several world population conferences.
The Third International Conference on Population and Development was held in Cairo from September 5 to 13, 1994. More than 15,000 representatives from 182 countries and regions attended the meeting. This conference was the first to link population issues with sustainable development. The meeting finally adopted the Program of Action, calling on all countries to strengthen cooperation in the fields of population and development to solve the common problems facing mankind.
The United Nations held a special session on population and development from June 30 to July 2, 1999, and once again recognized the importance of solving population problems from the strategic perspective of population and economy, society, resources, environment and sustainable development. sex.
On July 11, 1995, according to the World Population Report published by the United Nations Population Fund in London, the total world population in 1995 was 5.7 billion. It is speculated that the annual increase in the global population will remain above 86 million. The world's population will reach 7.1-7.8 billion by 2015, more than 8 billion by 2025, and 9.4 billion by 2050. According to scientists' analysis, the world's population will peak at 10.6 billion in 2080, and will gradually decline thereafter, to 10.35 billion by the end of the 21st century.
In 2011, the world population growth rate was approximately 1.1%. It is expected that the world's population will reach 8 billion before 2040.
