What will happen on December 21st 1012? Nothing, dear. It's all a myth. The Mayans just run out of stones....... "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Isn't it just amazing that people spent time and money making that video. That amount could have been donated to charity and done some real good work. I believe Science is looking for an Earth type planet for an eventual colonization effort, of course it might be a one way trip...

Why worry about the end of the Mayan calendar when our calendar "ends" every 365 days or so. All the Mayan calendar needed was another digit. Besides, when those Mayans were talking about it -- IF they were talking about it -- they all probably said . . . "Well, I won't be alive then so why should I care if those people don't know what day it is?" |

I agree with you Steve, its a bit like the fuss over "millennium end" we had a few years back. Or you could treat it as another excuse for a good party (already discussed in another, similar thread) - I'll see you on the 22nd December 2012 Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

I am considering just becoming a zombie for that day, just in case ;) Seriously the Mayan texts refer to it as the "end of the age". It does not specify what the next age would bring, but of course our society is much more comfortable with "The world ends! Film at 11!") Janice |

I am considering just becoming a zombie for that day, just in case ;) This all reminds Me of that guy who proclaimed that the world was going to end on a certain date, then the date came around and We're all still here, then the guy reset the date and the date passed once again, then the guy did it again, in short the guy was crying wolf and there was no wolf or at least that's all that this appears to be, some like to get all hot and bothered over some fallen civilizations calender that just happens to end on a certain date in our calender, if it wasn't for My OA I'd go back to bed. note: Fallen civilizations don't make new extensions to their calenders, that's why their calenders have an end.

I don't believe the world will end then. According to Rudolf Steiner, the consciousness of human kind will change around that time, and that's something I do(want to)believe. Steiner! Are you a Waldorf kid or teacher? |

Misinterpretation of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar is the basis for a popular belief that a cataclysm will take place on December 21, 2012. December 21, 2012 is simply the day that the calendar will go to the next b'ak'tun, at Long Count 13.0.0.0.0. The date on which the calendar will go to the next piktun (a complete series of 20 b'ak'tuns), at Long Count 1.0.0.0.0.0, will be on October 13, 4772. Interesting that every level in that counting system is 20 times the previous level (like our powers of ten) except for the "tun" which is 18 times the previous. |
