2012 prophecy: true or false?

2012, THE TRUTH THAT THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW!

I found the ad beside it for "Existential Lesbians" more entertaining, but whatever.

Okay 2012 is SO fake were not gonna die I bet the myans dissapeared BEFOR they got to work on the 2012 calender they would have placed dooms day on the 2012 calender if it was made or mab the 2012 calender was lost ^^

Like most of you I don't believe the world is going to end, but that doesn't mean I don't think something is going to happen.
Ok so the stars align, the planets align, the black hole aligns, the pole shift, is there something that doesn't happen in December 2012? Not only did the Mayans predict something would happen but alot of other cultures did as well. But one thing many people seem to forget is that they say something(not necessarily the world) is going to end or its going to be a time of great change or transformation. I think something is gonna happen and I am personally going with a time of great transformation. Maybe the world economy is finally going to collapse? Or maybe that's when the ice caps melt the most? Even if it's not obvious at first something just has to happen. I don't believe in coincidences.

Very indepth you might be correct although my theorie still stands

Hey, my friend's doing his research paper on 2012 theories.

I'll read this thread until my eyes bleed. rofl

[Golden Dysprosium]

That sounds unpleasant. neutral

I heard the sun is exceptional quiet currently - and nobody knows why.
(As in no solar spots whatsoever)

I think a lot of people are overreacting to the situation because they're scared. If it's going to happen, then it's going to happen. There might be ways to prevent it, but it's not going to be for sure until the day comes. As far as I can tell, it's going to be made a big deal out of when the time comes and it's going to be all over the media.

The world is not going to end in 2012. The religious told us the world would end in: 2800 BC, 1st centry AD predicted by Jesus, 155 AD, 970 ad, 1284, 1504, 1524, 1533, 1648, 1666, 1794, 1814, 1836,1844, 1847, 1874, 1881, 1910, 1914,1919,1967, 1969,1980,1982,1987,1988,1992,1993,1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2006, 2007, & 2008. If they were correct the world would have ended a several dozen times over by now. If history is any teacher, then the world is absolutely NOT ending in 2012. Sure, the end of the world WILL come, but it is not a date we will ever be able to isolate, we will never know when where how or why. The end will certainly come, but it will come in lue of warnings from primitive farming cultures such as the Mayans.

Infact, the entire 2012 story is wrapped up in many mythological stories, not only the Mayans but the Sumerians too. Some doomsayers claim that the world will be brought to an end on 2012 by a planetary collision with Nibiru or "planet x" as some call it. Yet others claim that this planet will only come close to our planet, but close enough to cause a global catastrophe. This is where you start to see the hybridization of the Mayan Calender and Sumerian Mythos. See, Nibiru (actually Jupiter) was a planet that the Anunaki came from. The leader of the planet sent a Anunaki named Enki to the earth to mine gold. There was so much gold there, that Enki created humans as slaves to help him mine gold. However, Enki was not getting the job fast enough, so the leader at Nibiru (again Jupiter) sent Enki's brother - Enlil to oversee the operation. The Sumerian Prophecy says that after the passing of 3,600 years the planet (Jupiter!) would cross paths with earth again and the Anunaki would then destroy the earth.

However, from the Mayan standpoint its impossible to tell if the calendar actually says the world will end. From my understanding, the calender only stops, and people assume this means the world will end. However, in order to determine that you must isolate WHY the calender actually comes to a halt. In one of the greatest mysteries that history has to offer, nearly 15 MILLION Mayans died in practically one day. For a long time historians didn't know what could have taken them out. But recently, evidence in lake beds point to a massive drought around the time that the Mayans died. It is highly likely that the sculptor of the calender simply became too weak to go on and more, and the last date he entered was 12/21/12. A date which actually as nothing at all to do with the end of the world.

On the idea of polar shifts - These have happened in the past, we can observe the history of these at the ocean bottom. It has been found that polar shifts are not consistent with global extinction. As for bursting sunspots - that could actually pose a problem. A big pulse would certainly take out some satellites around our planet, which would cause a global catastrophe, but it would not be a world ending event. Simple preparation could help cushion the blow from this possible event. However, scientists have been wrong, can be wrong again. It's highly possible that the magnetic burst from the sun will do nothing at all.

It doesn't end. It merely goes from the highest possible value to the lowest possible value.
Like if you have only 4 digits for the year and you reached 9999.12.31 - the next logical step is 0000.01.01.
It doesn't end. Nobody ever said it was (putting people aside who have no clue, try to spread panic, try to spread superstition or have other illicit motives).

I read somewhere that it could also be the end of the world April 13, 2036 .

I doubt anything will happen on either of those dates.

How ironic, 21 is just 12 backwards...

Yeah, I really doubt something will happen, its just as likely that we could die 11/11/11.
