I just barely graduated high school and I am worried about this whole "end of the world" prediction in 2012. I have read A lot about the mayan calendar and I have not seen where they have said its the end of the world on a certain day. in fact, Ive read we have already gone through a great cycle before and nothing happened. why are people so worried this time? Can anyone please answer this, so I can live my life and not worry? Thank you
The mayan calender does not state anywhere on it that 'on this specific day we are all going to die'
what happened was that the calender stopped on the winter solstice, december 22, 2012
that is the last day recorded on the calender, now people consider this a sign that it will be the apocalypse.
But how many times have people freaked out about the end of the world? a lot. that's how much
no one seems to consider that maybe they ran out of room. or that they were going to have to stop the calender eventually, it couldn't possibly go on FOREVER. so they just so happened to end the calender on that day. and anyways if we do all die, then we do all die, nothing to do about it, worrying will just ruin wat little time you have left.
I just spent 4 weeks up and down the Yucatan and met many Mayans. I was curious as to what their ancestors had told them about the end of the calendar. the Maya people never looked at it as the end of the world but more a time of great trial and turbulence on earth, somewhat of a turning point where we either go down a dark path or towards a brighter future. I don`t mean to contribute to you anxiety, but in my opinion we don`t seem to be laying the groundwork for a brigher future. However it won`t all end on a certain day. it will take time, and hopefully you`ll have a long and healthy life before it gets real bad.
Five thousand years. That's the time it takes to go through the Mayan calendar. the Mayans were very skilled astronomers. Their orbit of Venus was more accurate than the Europeans'. Their dates may be reliable, but it bets the question: what will happen? they did not predict the end of the world. the calendar of the Mayans is based on something, right? Some say it's an alignment with the center of the galaxy. Some feel there may be a correction of the precession of the earth's axis.. Either one would be harmless by itself. the original Mayan codex was destroyed by the Spanish hundreds of years ago.
The world may not end yet then but mankind might suffer more natural and man-made disasters(wars).That's my opinion.
No, the Calender ends
No. and even if it did say that, it wouldn't mean anything anyways lol
No, they simply stopped their calendar there, before disappearing off the face of the Earth, as a race. I hate to contradict another answerer, but there are no Mayan descendants that we can positively say are Mayan. What they may or may not have known, is that the Earth will be at the exact center of the Milky Way galaxy on that date. the magnetic forces will be tremendous. there is the possibility that we could draw in space debris, large or small. anything from asteroids to comets. I don't know if you give this information any credibility, but the Bible Codes predict a large comet hitting the Earth, not in whole, but in pieces, in 2012. Also the I-Bot, the collective data that is used to predict events based on the worldwide web, also predicts something catastrophic for that date, as does the I-Ching predictions, which may or may not have any teeth to them. Personally, I'm a skeptic, but it's food for thought. they experts agree that something will happen as a result of the magnetic forces, like the Earth's magnetic poles could shift, we know it can do that because it's done it before; but I look at the fact that this happens every twenty-eight thousand years or so, and that the Earth is four point five billion years old. It's already happened a lot of times, you do the math. We're still here. I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it. there is nothing I can do about it, at any rate. One thing is certain, and that is that people will cash in on any panic that may be generated out of ignorance, people always see dollar signs whenever there is any kind of panic. take care.
Does the mayan calendar actually say the world will end in 2012?
