Nothing at all. The apocalypse is constantly around the corner, depending on who you ask.



Yet, somehow, they've all been wrong so far. And damn, some people were so sure!

I don't really understand where all the fear is coming from. The Mayans Calendar, which is not predicting the end of the world in 2012, but the start of a new era on December 21st, 2012. The year 2012 marks the end of the "Great Cycle." When it came to mathematics, time and calendars, the Maya were geniuses. Believing that time repeated itself in cycles.



Many ancient civilization had predicted apocalypse over thousands of years, from the Book of I Ching to Nostradamus, and the Native Indians to even the Holy Bible all predicted that the world will come to an end. However, we as humankind are still around today waiting for that "doomsday" to happen. All predictions are open for different interpretations, and every few years some lunatic is going to flip through some old pre-historic predictions and exaggerate it based on his/her own interpretations. Once your mind starts to persuade you into thinking that apocalypse is going to happen, you would honestly start to believe that it is really coming.

It is a reference point more than an actual date! It is used to signify the new humans existence and introduction into society. With medical procedures that alter genetics and use computer hardware to prolong life. It symbolizes a shift in the way humans think and interact with each other! It is a ball park figure that represents a shift in consciousness through out the world. It represents a period in time when human beings will have a new theory on how they came into existence and use a new belief system that changes a huge spectrum of beliefs and religion and politics. It represents the dawning of the age of Aquarius and shedding the last few thousand years of ideology along with the current age of pieces. Every 3,657 years a rogue planet known as planet X or Niburu passes by the earth! Sometimes this event causes changes in and on and around the earth that seem chaotic for a while! Sometimes it causes natural disaster like quakes and tsunamies and storms as well as huge fires! Niburu is scheduled to pass around Dec.21'st 2012. Dec. 21'st is also the winter solstice. The earth is also entering what is called the photon belt...A cycle of photonic energy that physically changes DNA! As 2012 approaches and passes you may notice more and more discoveries about history being made and more and more of a decline in religions. History and religion will be re written and a new model of civilization will emerge. This will happen over many many years and the changes that happen during your life time may seem huge. However, they are just baby steps on a gigantic cycle that has existed for eons of time! So, NO! The world isn't going to end! History is going to end! The Mayans new this! I have included some links incase you have more questions on this.

Well, just ran an astrologic chart for 1200hrs that date.



Looks like Jupiter & Venus are in opposition and Jupiter is

in its Detriment. Soooo, I'd say that any social events are

probably gonna end in a "snit". Many "friendships" could well

permanently fragment that day.



Pluto and Saturn are in sextile (which implies some reasonable-

ness to compulsive workaholic-ism...if that's possible) BUT

both are in Mutual Reception (giving each much more "oomph"

than they'd have otherwise).



Pluto is conj the Sun...implying some sort of serious "power

play" going on. Kinda like some "little guy" challenging some

big company like Hewlett Packard over some problem with

their tech support or something (legal issues maybe, certainly

issues of role or position-in-a-particular-context being

challenged.



There'll probably be an emotional crisis later that day when the

transiting Moon hits 24 deg or Aries (only because the Moon

@ Noon is at 17 Aries and the North Notde is @ 24).



Other than that...without a specfic time...I can't write that I see

anything "catastrophic" here.

I am born in 1994 and each of my school years have been corresponding to the year on the calendar like I was in grade 1 in 2001, grade 2 in 2002, grade 3 in 2003 .... etc and well by that time I would have only just started university. I am not sure what will happen on this day, all I can say is that it will be a great change for the human race, it could possibly be something harmless like human evolution. It does not really scare me because after death there is always birth, it’s a continuous cycle (no I am not referring to reincarnation, I am a Catholic). I have always thought to die young, I don't know why but I have just always had that feeling and that my purpose was like none other. So I think I have been born to be one of the many kids to live one of the most challenging events of the bible. We will just have to wait and see what the future holds. What do you think will happen?

From what I understand, the Mayans did not predict the end of the world on December 21, 2012. It is just the end of a 27,000 year astronomical cycle.

What's the significance of December 21? I'd think more people would think December 12 (You know...12/12/12). I think it's going to be some completely random date.

Well, I'll be 42 in 2012...I won't be ready to die at that age, but it makes you wonder about that date. A lot of other things that were predicted a long time ago have come true...Maybe that's the day someone, will fire off a nuclear bomb. I try not to think about it...LOL

Personally, I think the Mayans had to start and end somewhere on their calendar. To read more into it is pointless.

When that date comes we have to buy a new Mayan calendar.

I'd say 90% of the idiots who actually believe it don't even know who the Mayans were.
