what are your theory's on December 21, 2012?

Question

i don't know what to believe i mean everything the Mayans predicted was true but the end of the world? i will only be 17! ( i just asked this question but i accidentally but 2021.)

Answer 1

Mayan calendar ends that year is the only fact; funny thing,

Today is August 11. The Mayan calendar began on august 11, 3114 bc.



Time; the Mayans started counting it August 11, 3114 BC. Astronomical year numbering begins the year after.



This is very cool published today;

Answer 2

Everything you have heard about 2012 is full of half-truths and outright lies, with the following exceptions.



1. There will be an American presidential election in 2012.

2. The Summer Olympics will be in London in 2012.

3. The Planet Venus will transit the Sun in 2012. (The only effect of this will be that a small dot will be visible on the sun in telescopes that are adapted to look at the sun.)

4. There will be natural disasters, war, famine, plague, etc... but no more than in any other year.



That is all. Everything else is bull.



Nostradamus didn't predict anything for 2012.



Some people think the Mayans did, but they are wrong. The Mayan Calendar is just a very long calendar. It does NOT predict the end of the world. It just so happens that the Mayan version of "December 31, 1999" falls on what we would call "December 21, 2012." The Mayan calendar contains events that happen AFTER 2012, even after 4000 AD, so clearly the world will not "end" at this point.



(You'll remember that a lot of people also thought the world was going to end in 12-31-1999, but it didn't. Same deal. Many programmers expected a huge mess, but fortunately with a lot of hard work that didn't happen either, but nobody who actually knew anything expected the 'collapse of civilization' some nuts predicted.)



All the other predictions:



"pole shifts" (which take thousands of years to even start)

"galactic plane crossing" (a lie, we're far above the galactic plane and moving away from it)

"galactic alignment" (We don't even know exactly where the galaxy's center is - it's obscured by gas and dust and other stars - so we sure as hell can't predict an alignment with it with any accuracy)

"killer planet Nibiru" (physically impossible)

"antichrist" (no such animal. Christ's Apostles thought THEY were living in the 'end times,' too)



and everything else, are completely and totally made-up.



There are NO scientists who believe in this 2012 nonsense. If you see someone claiming "scientists" said so, ask for names and degrees, because they either don't exist, or got their "degree" from some mail-in fake "university of pulp paper." Degrees in theology don't count.





Here is one thing about 2012 that might actually be true... this answer will probably be thumbs-downed by wackjobs who are obsessed with 2012.

Answer 3

Kali, put your mind at rest. Nothing will happen on December 21, 2012. Nor on 2021 for that matter. First of all the people you ask about were not prophets or even prognosticators. They were calendar builders and work on their calendar stopped because they were overrun by enemies, overtaken by plague or some other natural disaster and had to head for the hills. Remember they were chipping away at stone, a very time-consuming process rather than computer generating their calendars. Remember also that they failed to predict their own end (through assimilation) an event far more important to them than anything that could happen in 2012 or 2021. Why would you want to believe that they predicted our end when they failed to predict their own end?



Finally, people are always predicting the End and they yet have to get it right. Consider the following (a short-list of End Times predictions that failed miserably):



Recent Dooms Day Predictions that failed miserably:



March 10th, 1982: (Drum roll here please): The Jupiter Effect! What happened March 10th, 1982? Nothing happened on March 10th, 1982.



1987: 88 Reasons Why the Rapture Will be in 88 (and 'On Borrowed Time'). So what happened in 1988? Nothing happened in 1988.



1999: Nostradamus, in 1999 will come the Great King of Terror... What happened in 1999? Nothing happened in 1999.



Y-2K: What happened 01-01-2000? Another non-event.



One of my very favorites and you should remember this one: Only last year (Sept. of 2008), the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will open up a huge black hole that will swallow up the Universe! The LHC collider was fired up on: 10 September 2008 and shut down: 19 September 2008 after a malfunction. Now I can't help but wonder why no one wants to talk about this 'prediction' anymore! Obviously nothing happened last year because we are all still here.



Now consider that no Dooms Day Prediction has ever come true, ever. Also, the People who built the Meso-American Long Count Calendar (on which this so-called prediction is based) failed to predict their own end way before 2012. This was an event far more important to them than anything which could happen in 2012. Why would anyone believe that they succeeded in predicting our end when they failed to predict their own end?



Now go back to my short list of End Times predictions and re-read the last one. Ask yourself why no one even wants to talk about this one anymore and it was only a year ago when it was all the rage on-line! The Doomsayers love to start scare stories and when they are proven wrong they just kinda fade away. Proponants of the 2012 End Times Prediction will rant and rave about Dec. 21, 2012 well into January of 2013 (saying that the prediction was off by just a day, or two, or a month) and then they too will fade away because the truth is that no one knows when the End will be. Only God and He's not saying.

Answer 4

The Mayan prophecies speak to us of the changes towards the fifth Ajaw (fifth sun), on December 21, 2012. This date begins the period of 5,200 years. This is a cycle of wisdom, harmony, consciousness and the return of the natural order.



It is not the end of the world as many from outside of the Mayan tradition have misinterpreted it to be. The fifth cycle will be a fusion of both feminine and masculine energies. It will be a transition where there won't be any more confrontations between the polarities. It will bring balance and there won't be hierarchy of one over the other.



Also the Hopi Indians, Cherokee, Hindu scriptures (Brahma-Vaivarta Purana), and Terence McKenna's novelty theory based on the ancient I Ching are telling us that on 2012 the world will be transforming and going through major changes.

Answer 5

The end can be a beginning of a new and great life. So, expect the unexpected.

If the news about the final end of mankind will be true, what is there to be worried about unless you are left behind alone and very much alone.

Answer 6

I think it will be just another day.

I don't think the Mayan calendar was predicting anything. I mean, they had to stop it sometime. It was already way advanced for what they needed. Why go on even further when there really was no need?

Answer 7

name ONE thing the Mayans ever predicted.



Go on, I will give you plenty of time to check Wiki and Youtube.



Still waiting.



Try not to believe the crap you can see on The History Channel. Those guys need a leash, really.



People CANNOT see the future. This is a very simple concept. Accept it.

Answer 8

remember the world was going to end on Jan 1, 2000 too. NOONE knows when the world will end.

Answer 9

The Mayan fellow who was making the calendar died and nobody else knew how to do his job :D

Answer 10
