Even if it was the end of the world why would you tell anyone? It's not like your going to get a prize if your right, but if your wrong nobody will ever believe you again

So i'm reading more and more about 2012,and the apocalypse or elevation that will happen in the year.My question is...why? Why do i keep hearing about this? i mean,the whole thing started with the Tribes of what is now south america. But these were people who didn't know where the sun went at night.how did this gain so much credibility?
People also forget that these geniuses couldn't figure out that shitting next to their crops and drinking water would make them sick... (yes, i know... many western european cultures shared in this problem as well)

You don't know that. Maybe FSM will be so impressed by your ability to predict the future he shall bless you with noodly appendages of your own.

But yeah, my intent wasn't to take a stab at religions (for once) but merely to state that logically, if people are willing to believe something like that, believing the world will end every other century doesn't really seem that farfetched in comparison...
That makes more sense in the context of the thread. Fair enough.

Well, if the world ends in the first half of 2012 it'll mean we don't have to witness the mess that'll be the London 2012 Olympics...

[quote/]Anyways, the main reason people think 12/12/2012 is Doom's Day is because the Mayan Calender ends then, and thus, the world should end at that time, what with time not being recorded by an ancient civilisation that is now defunct. Modern day conspirators have jumped on the theory, and the media has exaggerated the idea to no end. Like Y2K, a genuine fact has been warped into something that will 'doom us all'.

Of course, it's all bollocks, but you know, like I said, it's spread into the minds of some idiots.[/quote]

my guess is that they figrued their empire wouldn't last that long, so they just decided to stop. that, or they got lazy.
half life 2 episode 3 is also supposed to come out in 2012.

The world IS going to end in 2012, but not because of some stupid calendar. That's just silly talk.

No, the world will end in 2012 because THAT is when my top-secret evil plan, "Operation: Blow Up the Fucking World" will spring into action.



Shit. I probably shouldn't have told you that.

Because December 21, 2012 will be my 20th birthday. 21 backwards is 12 so my age on that date and the day backwards is 2012! We're all going to die!

I think it's because in 2012 Nintendo will stop releasing Mario games.

How is that a bad thing?
It's not, but the world as we know it will end won't it? It's just how you interpret what the Mayans mean, and if they mean this, then I'm looking forward to it :)

The date December 21, 2012 has no actual significance in its numbers, but in a rare astronomical alignment of the sun entering the exact center of the milky way while rising when the ecliptic and galactic equator cross during the winter solstice. This event occurs so rarely (only once every 25,920 years) that the Mayans set their callender by it as the end of an age. But this is not the full story behind 2012.

Nostradamus, a sixteenth century apothocary whom many consider to be a profit, left behind a book of illustrations linked to some of his quatrains indicating that 2012 was near the end time. I say 'near' the end time because the illustrations are only a marker for his traditions. The story goes that he had these pictures created because A. He'd seen that our time communicated better through images than words (T.V., Movies, Video Games) and he thought that we would better understand his predictions if the more important ones were illustrated and B. That after making his predictions of the end time, he realized that he'd have to give a specific moment so that we could prevent it, so, in the pictures, he gave clues to the aforementioned rare astronomical alignment as being the sign to watch out for (An alarm, if you will. I.E. the alignment itself is not the cause of the end of the age, but a warning of it).

Oil production in Saudi Arabia is scheduled to peak in 2012.

2012 is an election year, if a change in power occures, inauguration day in 2013 would be a prime moment for a terrorist attack.

An electromagnetic field cycle (Which is the cycle of strength and weakness in the earth's electromagnetic field) will comlete on December 21 2012 (meaning that the field will be on its weakest on that day before beginning to get stronger again over the next 13,000 years).

Many other things can be traced to that date and year, but I won't lst them because, quite frankly, if nothing happens, nothing happens. If something does happen, there's nothing we can do to stop it. All we can do is be as prepared as we would be for any disaster and keep in mind that its not the end of the world, just of the age, a period of time, a simple date, and nothing more.
