doomsday 2012

[chaz]

For reasons that are still debated, the Maya centers of the southern lowlands went into decline during the 8th and 9th centuries and were abandoned shortly thereafter. This decline was coupled with a cessation of monumental inscriptions and large-scale architectural construction. Although there is no universally accepted theory to explain this “collapse,” current theories fall into two categories: non-ecological and ecological.

Non-ecological theories of Maya decline are divided into several subcategories, such as overpopulation, foreign invasion, peasant revolt, and the collapse of key trade routes. Ecological hypotheses include environmental disaster, epidemic disease, and climate change. There is evidence that the Mayan population exceeded carrying capacity of the environment including exhaustion of agricultural potential and overhunting of megafauna. Some scholars have recently theorized that an intense 200 year drought led to the collapse of Mayan civilization. The drought theory originated from research performed by physical scientists studying lake beds, ancient pollen, and other data, not from the archaeological community.

December 21 — The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the Maya civilization among others of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes its thirteenth b'ak'tun cycle since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to 3114 BC August 11 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, according to the "GMT-correlation" JDN= 584283).[7] The Long Count b'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated, for the first time in a span of approximately 5,125 solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an incomplete inscription (Tortuguero Stela 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed.[8] However, it is conjectured that this may represent in the Maya belief system a transition from the current Creation world into the next. The 2012 Winter Solstice will also occur on this day at 11:11:59[citation needed] Greenwich Mean Time.

If the Mayan were able to predict the future so well

From hildar:

In 2012 many things will happen, we will be entering the milky way finally, We will also be having some major changes in the sun and yes all of these things are backed up by proof.

The 5 discoveries:

NOAA Sunspot is Harbinger of New Solar Cycle

http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories...4_sunspot.html

Changes in Sun's surface to bring climate change

http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2..._longrange.htm

I only post proof, but there is much more then this for proof. In fact I saw proof the other day that stated that NASA can not figure out how the Mayans were so much more advanced then they should have been.

But the above info is enough for me to worry.

My question is this:
Dec. 21, 2012.....at any point, on any given day Australia is 21 hours ahead of me - they're always in tomorrow so WHO'S calendar, who's TIME are we to go by? Will the end come on Dec. 22nd for them or on Dec. 20th for me - provided I'm still in Hawaii but either way there will still be people here in Hawaii. I don't buy it, never have, just my feelings on the subject but I won't belittle or condemn anyone else for their opinion.

It is written, that no one knows the hour, but all will see the day(Judgement).

How is this meant to happen, will the world just blow up within a day or would it be a slow plague killing of all life on earth?

Maybe when the end of the world starts we won't know, maybe it will be a very gradual decline. Some people infact think the end of the world has already started.

i found thos conversations flipping sites

[Almyro]

i myself am nopt sure of what will happen
but i know this

the mayans had the cycles of 500 years i think called baktuns

and in them cycles of 20 years called katuns

they also had predictions for each cycle, big or small(katun,baktun)

the cycles have repeated many times, yet we have not died*checks the history books*.... yet

[numenorian]

Well my opinion on this matter is that it will happen the exact same things that happened in 2000 so...

• I ching chinease calender end on same day, 64 hexgrams in book, pattern, calender

• Winter solstice once every 26,000 years happen on 2012

• Terrorism, war threats,

• global warming increasing

• economic failure happening now

• 2000 and 6/6/6(and 2003?) ones had no proof, this one this one has scientific and astro proof,

• some calender(geogain?(sp)) ends

 I hope nothing bad happen to anyone, but I have a dream that on January 15, 2010 at 3:49 PM (standard zone: UTC GMT +8) the shadow of darkness start covering the earth. This is the beginning of doomsday. Catastrophic events will happen across the world starting in Asia (southern part of Philippines, India, China, etc..). This is the countdown I created: http://xrl.in/460l . You can copy and paste to your browser.

A Man Child will rule this world with Iron Rod.

Hey! don't forget it's just a dream.
