Apocalypse 12-12-12

The Mayan Long Count calendar ends in 2012. So of course, when something ends, it means the world ends with it too. Umm.. Hmm.. Take our calandar. When that ends, we don't die but rather get drunk, reset to Jan 1 and start another year. So really, what we'll see is 12.12.12.12 -> 13.0.0.0.0

However, there is a bit more complexity to this. The Mayans were extremely good astronomers as well as very religious/spiritual individuals. From what I understand, they said that in 2012 the Earth will enter a new 'galactic day' (we're currently at night heading towards morning) when it shall enter the brightness of the central star which once every 5xxx years pulses energy to keep all other stars in beat. This will make our Sun really bright and cause us to spiritually awaken.

I don't understand how a spiritual awakening or entering a new age translates to death and destuction.

So everyone is saying that a solar flare will wipe us out, but I find it hard to believe. The Earth's atmosphere is pretty good at absorbing all those evil rays. Plus, when a solar flare does occur, I remember reading that scientists are predicting it will be medium strength at best, meaning we won't get hit as badly as that one a few years back which wiped out some sattelites and caused the power grid in Canada to break for a few hours.

Dodgy Disclaimer: All of the above may not be true as I'm remembering articles from a while back

It's the way the Mayan calendar works, it's not just random bunch of dates.

I don't support the theory even though I've read on it, but really your presumption that price rises are due to people believing this theory is ridiculous, your probably one of the ones that thinks there is an energy crisis, overpopulation etc...seriously, read.

lol I was just putting forth some of the reading and research I'd done on the topic; there's no real evidence of pole-shifts so no-one can really give any true predictions.

Mayans are interesting though, as they were a very advanced civilisation, some of their works really does make you wonder where they learnt all this.

Again planetary alignment is a fact, do some research on "normal" news websites, it was in the metro 4months ago in their Science section for example..

Who knows, our third eye might be unlocked on the date, we could all burn, or we could all be at the pub.

Sure sure sure.

See here.

They were advanced for their times, but they weren't advanced in comparison to how we are now. Every culture, subculture and religion both in the past and now have their own ideas on how the world's going to end, among various other things... they can't all be valid.


Lawlz news websites? They're renowned for their expertise and lack of bias aren't they? It's a physical impossibility for planetary alignment to happen; just have a look at a three-dimensional model of the planets' orbits and you'll see. If you mean two-dimensional alignment, then that's possible but not going to happen in 2012, and I'd imagine that it bears no significance to anything in real terms.


We'll have to wait and see

The Bible is a matter of interpretation, and a LOT of Revelations could be possible clues, e.g. the mark of the beast.

I can't wait for the turn of 2013, when 2012 will have passed and all of the New Age nutcases (among others) will be disappointed that everything they'd been working themselves up about was utter twoddle.

This reminds me of the Bible Code prophecies, where certain individuals saw a code in the Bible and predicted that the world would end from a nuclear holocaust in 2006.... I rest my case.
