Some really scary facts. I have heard about this a lot. I hope that the world does not really end by that time. I just love my life too much and would really hate it if it ends so quick.
I think meteor X also will hit us in 2012, or was that 2050? And yea, the binary system will end some date too (It had a logic explanation, the theory is that internet will be resetted).
My mistake, ok guys new theory!!!!!! Chuck Norris: In december 2012 chuck norris will have a birthday party, the problem is that chuck norris will be 54 years old! 54+612=666! That means that chuck norris will be possesed by the devil! He will kill everybody!!!!! That is the reason why the mayan calender will end (Chuck norris was a great maya priest 600 years ago!).
"2012 does not differ from any other year. The philosophy of Maya is full of symbolism which is hidden under a different meaning. Humanity is not ready to move on to life on the new level. I am a mage and trained in the society with the Hermetic tradition. I can see the life of mankind on Earth in the near Aquarian age ... It will be of a new character, and the end of the world is not so close. Now is the time of the dominant Order ..." I've read these words at the forum and they exactly reflect my own feelings.
People have been saying the worlds is going to end since it began. Nothing is going to happend in 2012
One Can see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1444675/ to get a more logical and unbiased view on the matter
Do you think smart people always prevail? The Mayan civilization was one of the great civilizations of mankind, with all it's positive and negative aspects. It had a begging and an end. The Roman civilization had a beggining and an end. Do you think any of the current great civilizations will prevail? With time, a united earth will be governed by 1 goverment. 1 planet, 1 people, 1 civilization. And that will be the end of all current great civilizations... Maybe 2012 is the birth of a new era. A New Age.
Its stupid to think that we are safe... earth can get destroyed anytime. just like 4K people died by the Tsunami.
Most of the great Mayan cities were abandoned near 900 A.D. That culture was dying long before the Spaniards came,...they just replaced the remnants with their own.
latehorn of course not. that is just a date of christianity, the mayans were totally unaware of that religion.
