[Nice Guy Eddie]

What do people think about all the speculation with this date and what possibly might happen. I think it's likely a bunch of crap, but I was wondering what others thought?

[OldSchool]

I predict Mayan dominance will come to an end.

[Jughead Spock]

The thread about 'Will there ever be a new FOF?' will be about 500 pages long.

[Schmidty]

There will be 10,254 smart-ass remarks in this thread.

[MJ4H]

The speculation is stupid. That's what I think and any rational person thinks.

[Groundhog]

I predict the same thing will happen that happens whenever one of these dates comes up.

If they Mayans really were smart enough to predict the exact date of the end of the world don't you think they'd still be around, at the very least?

Shh... they're in hiding in the forests of Oregon and Washington State, raising Bigfeet.

[SackAttack]

The winning lottery numbers will be 12, 21 and four numbers divisible by 2.

For a second there, I thought this thread was going to be about the shitty movie coming out in Dec.

[Lathum]

We will all cease to use proper grammer and quiksands world will then end.

Why on Earth would I spend my money on both hookers and midgets when I could just hire hooker midgets? And I'll ask them to bring a case of Pabst to the party, too.

[kingfc22]

I say I will be 32.

Oh and it's the end of a long count in the Mayan calendar and the begining of a new long count.

And its just funny as shit that its 12-21-12. What a lame coincidental number to choose for the end of the world. why not 10-01-10?

yeah people seem to forget with the 20 dropped...well we have had 19 or so 12-21-12 so far (12-21-1912 being the most recent)

The Mayans knew that our Sun, or Kinich-Ahau, every so often synchronized with the enormous central galaxy. And from this central galaxy received a 'spark' of light which causes the Sun to shine more intensely producing what our scientists call 'solar flares' as well as changes in the Sun's magnetic field. The Mayans say that this happens every 5,125 years. But also that this causes a displacement in the earths rotation, and because of this movement great catastrophes would be produced.

The Mayans believed the universal processes, like the 'breathing' of the galaxy, are cycles that never change. What changes is the consciousness of man that passes through it. Always in a process toward more perfection. Based on their observations, the Mayans predicted that from the initial date of the start of their civilization, 4 Ahau, 8 Cumku which is 3113 B.C., after one cycle being completed 5,125 years in their future, December 21st, 2012. The Sun, having received a powerful ray of synchronizing light from the center of the galaxy, would change its polarity which would produce a great cosmic event that would propel human kind to be ready to cross into a new era, The Golden Age. It is after this, that the Mayans say we will be ready to go through the door that was left by them, transforming our civilization based on fear to a vibration much higher in harmony.

Their first prophecy talks about 'The Time of No-Time'. A period of 20 years, which they call a Katún. The last 20 years of the Sun's cycle of 5,125 years. This cycle is from 1992 - 2012. I'll explain this in greater detail later. They predicted that during these times, solar winds would become more intense and could be seen on the Sun. This would be a time of great realization and great change for mankind. And it would be our own lack of preservation and contamination of the planet that would contribute to these changes. According to the Mayans, these changes would happen so that mankind comprehends how the universe works so we could advance to superior levels, leaving behind superficial materialism and liberating ourselves from suffering.

The Mayans say, that seven years after the start of Katún, which is to say 1999, we would enter a time of darkness which would force us to confront our own conduct. The say that this is the time when mankind will enter 'The Sacred Hall of Mirrors'. Where we will look at ourselves and analyze our behaviors with ourselves, with others, with nature and with the planet in which we live. A time in which all of humanity, by individual conscious decisions, decides to change and eliminate fear and lack of respect from all of our relationships. The Mayans prophesied that the start of this period would be marked by a solar eclipse on August 11, 1999, known to them as 13 Ahau, 8 Cauac. And would coincide with an unprecedented planetary alignment, the 'Grand Cross' alignment. This would be the last 13 years of the Katón period. The last opportunity for our civilization to realize the changes that are coming at the moment of our spiritual regeneration.

For the Mayans, everything is numbers and the time of the 13 sacred numbers started in August 1999. They predicted that along with the eclipse, the forces of nature would act like a catalyst of changes so accelerated and with such magnitude that mankind would be powerless against them. Also, that our technologies in which we rely on so much would begin to fail us. We would no longer be able to learn from our civilization in the way that we are organized as a society. They said that our internal, spiritual development would require a better place along with a better way to interact with more respect and compassion.


The first prophecies were attained by their study of our Sun. The Mayans discovered that the entire solar system moved. That even our universe has its own cycles. Repetitive periods which begin and end like our day and night. These discoveries lead to the understanding that our solar system rotates on an ellipse that brings our solar system closer and further from the center of the galaxy. In other words, according to the Mayans, our Sun and all of its planets rotate in cycles in relation to the center of the galaxy or Hunab-Kú, the central light of the galaxy. It takes 25,625 years for our solar system to make one cycle on this ellipse. One complete cycle is called a galactic day. The cycle is divided into two halves similar to our day and night. The half closest to the central light, is our solar system's 'day' and the half furthest away is its 'night'. Each day and each night lasts 12,800 years. Which is to say, the central galaxy is the Sun for our entire solar system.

The Mayans discovered that every grand cycle has its minor cycles, that carry the same characteristics. One galactic day of 25,625 years is divided into five cycles of 5,125 years. The first cycle is the galactic morning. When our solar system is just coming out of the darkness to enter the light. The second cycle is the mid-day. When our solar system is closest to the central light. The third cycle is the afternoon. When our solar system begins to come out of the light. The fourth cycle is the late-night. When our solar system has entered its furthest cycle from the central light. And the fifth and last cycle is night before dawn. When are solar system is in its last cycle of darkness before starting again. This is the cycle we are currently coming out of.

but go right on ahead with the "end of the world" misconception. pretty intelligent things they figured out given the time.

hmmm interesting

6. In 2012 the plane of our Solar System will line up exactly with the plane of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. This cycle has taken 26,000 years to complete. Virgil Armstrong also says that two other galaxies will line up with ours at the same time. A cosmic event!

7. Time is speeding up (or collapsing). For thousands of years the Schumann Resonance or pulse (heartbeat) of Earth has been 7.83 cycles per second, The military have used this as a very reliable reference. However, since 1980 this resonance has been slowly rising. It is now over 12 cycles per second! This means there is the equivalent of less than 16 hours per day instead of the old 24 hours.

I have no idea if those 2 facts are both true, but they're interesting. Didn't even know what ths Schumann Reasonance was. But according to wikipedia links there have been studies looking at it as a sensitive metric for global change...

I have wondered about this part though. Meaning...I am curious what legitimate astro-physicists believe might be a potential issue with this sort of alignment(i.e. shifts in gravitational pull ripple effects). I suppose 'none' might be the conclusion which may be why I have never heard anything...though I can't say I've looked too hard.

Either way...I'm predicting snow in the northeast for that day.

well, from what I've read, some astro-physicists have speculated it could cause massive solar flares, or perhaps even cause a polar shift....which of course would in fact end the world for humans.

Or if might not do anything. Doomsday theorists are as bad as conspiracy theorists.

Yeah, I've heard that as well, but it's always attributed to some scientist working at some research institute in Denmark(anecdotally speaking), generically named "scientists", or some other obscure person. It's never "NASA scientists" or anybody else that actually researches things like the people who land probes on meteors and the like. Just once, I'd like to hear from somebody like that on the subject, who has actually researched the subject.

Oh well...back to pondering other complex thoughts...like what to eat for lunch.

There's a Bullshit episode on the mayan apocalypse and they have a real scientist on the show that dismisses the claims.
