December 2012

It has nothing to do with the end of the world or anything significant for that matter. What happened was that the two Mayan dudes compiling the calendar fianlly got to 12/12/20012, looked at each other and said-

"Sh!t, think we went far enough ahead?"

So they stopped there figuring they'd continue as time got closer to that date. Unforunetly for them civilaztion as they knew it ended way before 12/12/20012 and we're left wondering...

lets suppose there is afterlife for the sake of the following statement:
"the mayan folks are looking down upon the earth and are going: look at those suckers. We got tired of calculating and they're getting ready for the end of the world!"

Is right up your ally Vince.

Thanks Ryan, loads of interesting links on that site to look at.

Vince,

I am glad I am not the only nut that has been searching on this stuff

The mayan calender ends a 25,000 year progression of earth, after 2012 will will line up with, and then pass below, the center of the Milky Way (black hole)

Some beleive Planet X is on its 3600 year journey back to earth. A people called the Annukai supposedly came to earth thousands of years ago and began life. You link them with the 'missing link' in the Darwin theory. Humans were first made as slaves, on Atlantis until the Annukai then had to travel home, leaving the survivors to fend for themselves. search, its interesting.

The Sumerian's described them as 'those who came from the sky'. These 'god' beings are believed to have written the old testament.

Not saying I believe this, but it is not totally Impossible by no means. Fun stuff.

Naaa, hit up every one of those phone numbers though and the all panned out. They kind of vanished and the wife gets this self satisfied look when ever I mention them...

I'm more worried about the NAU, then I'll work on 2012 if we get that far.

Google North American Union...sux.

You have your priorities backwards!!

Canada has something that America wants,needs, and will get. Crude oil sands.

Very true. Not many people know that we get 60% of our oil form Canada. Not the Middle East as the liberals want everyone to believe.

"the mayan folks are looking down upon the earth and are going: look at those suckers. We got tired of calculating and they're getting ready for the end of the world!"

I have been looking into this more today and I have found claims that the Hopi, Navajo and Cherokee also have predictions of a great revelation in 2012. Perhaps they were all using the same calendar and perhaps the calendar maker did just pick a convenient point to stop just like our Gregorian calendars stop each year on Dec 31st.

There is still something that intrigues me about the way the Mayan calendar is calculated from the synchronicity of movement in the night sky and how even NASA acknowledges the accuracy of their work.

I'm certainly not going to go around shouting that "the end of the world is nigh", nor will I sell my house and go on one long vacation. Now that I am aware of the 2012 predictions, it will probably influence me over the next five years.

I'm not freaked out by the thought of a 2012 apocalypse, but I think my kids would be. I've not mentioned anything to them about these predictions, but I'm glad I looked into it now before they start asking me questions. I guess it will only be a matter of time before they or one of their friends discover it like I did.

One thing that does make me feel uneasy is that if a 2012 planetary event can be scientifically predicted with certainty now, then the theory that CO2 is the reason for climate change must just be a cover story to keep the masses under control while those in the know prepare to save their own hides.

Canada is actually who we get most of our imports from - even more than we get from China. I dunno about getting 60% of our oil from them, but we do get a lot....and a lot from Venezuela. Right now, the technology to get the oil out of the oil sands isnt very good...they're lucky if they break even on amount of energy spent pulling it out vs energy in return.

We need to wait for all the civil wars in Africa to pan out...Ethiopia and the Sudan actually have almost as much oil as the rest of the world combined.

4 Horseman are amongst us

Can you expand on that? What do you think are the four horsemen of the apocalypse?

I heard that most of the planets including the Sun and Moon are going to be in alignment. Armageddon is upon us. The Earth is going to suffer from great earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and devastation the likes of which have never been…. Oh wait, the major alignment of planets already took place in May 2000. Dang nothing happened, and that was the start of a new century and was a nice round number, too (not like 2012 ). Y2K was going on and I think it was the height of the Pokemon craze.

I fear no doomsday scenario because if we can survive the Pokemon phenomenon I’m sure we can handle something as mundane as a musty old Mayan calendar or my compass reading backwards.

I call it!!! Anybody who believes the end is 21 Dec 2012 owes me a beer 22 Dec 2012.

 

[tjmwr7]

Yes the mayan had there shit figuered out and so did the egyptions. Has there been anything shown from them??????? I look at it like...Maybe the Mayans were trying to tell us that 12/12/12 would be the year they broght back the xj????? Or Maybe thats the year more Hummers ar sold then jeep?
Sweet baby Jesus that is Hell frozen over.

 

[Lowrange2]

I must have missed the Pokemon phenomenon

 

[KarlVP]

Hey, what can I say, I'm remembering two weeks in Sydney and two weeks in Melbourne when my sub pulled in there on a diplomatic good will tour, my memory is only from pissing back all the beer I drank and puking my guts up from the rum and being smashed out of my mind while I worshiped at the porcelain throne. Came home from that trip with over 30 pairs of panties with phone numbers on them, much more effective method than some chick writing it on your arm with a magic marker...

I can't wait to go on a West-Pac.

All joking aside, it will be interesting if a polar reversal does happen. If it does I'm curious what will happen to all stored data on magnetic media and I have already asked some storage engineers, it's like the old ford chevy argument, no winners there, As nobody alive has recorded or witnessed what really happens, theory is good in many things but until it happens theory is only theory. When it happens will it happen at only the poles or will it happen at the molecular level on all existing ferrous metal world wide.
