According to the famous Mayan calendar, this time cycle began when the galaxy completed a rotation, which happens every 26,000 years. This cycle is composed of 5 lesser cycles, each of which each are 5,125 years in duration. Each of these 5 cycles is considered its own World Age or Creation Cycle. Our present great cycle (3113 B.C. - 2012 A.D.) is called the Age of the Fifth Sun. The initial date that Earth entered the Fifth World, was August 13, 3113 BC, written in Mayan long count notation as 13.0.0.0. The ancients have called this the Shift of the Ages and this shift has resulted in a pole shift; north was south, south was north. The Mayans were the only people to survive a pole shift. The prophesied end date, 2012 A.D is the end of the Iron Age, and the beginning of the Golden Age. This current age is known as the Iron Age, the age of technological dominance.
