We are currently learning about the Mayan civilization in history. Apparently they were very good with calculations; they were able to predict the exact time and place where a solar eclipse/lunar exlpse would happen... along with the lunar schedule, the equinox, the solstace, and lots of other things. 1500 years since the civilization died out, they can still predict the lunar pattern within 33 seconds... However, they also had one more prediction... They said the world will end Sunday, December 23, 2012. Around 7 years from now... creepy huh? So, is this phony bologna, or the real deal. Thoughts? |

Actually, they don't say the world ends, it's just that they say that their calender just happens to not have anything after that date. That's when a few things align, though I can't remember exactly what off the top of my head. They believe that things go in cycles based on when certain things happen, so they didn't write anything after the end of this cycle. Trouble is, most of their stuff got... Ummm... Destroyed, so no one knows what that's supposed to mean. End of the world, though? I sincerely doubt it. | |||

The Mayans are credited by many with inventing the "0" as a placeholder, too. Mayans were quite a progressive group for their section of the world. Anyway, yes, the world will end in 7 years I mean, c'mon, if the calendar of ONE civilization out of millions in the world's history only goes to some time around then, that means it must be true. Some fundamentalists believe that there is a Christian Rapture that should have already happened. But they were wrong. The Mayans were right. So I'm going to go and hide under my desk for 7 years. See ya guys! |

Much like all of the other "end of the world theories" that have already passed, this likely has no merit or value. Sad thing is that some fundamentalists might call events like the tsunami the "rapture" to satisfy their claims. :\ |

Mmm, last end of the world date was in 1999. And it was a prediction done by Nostramus, there was a small war breaking out somewhere in the world on the same week, but that was it. :/ | |||

Even before I learned that the Mayan's figured out the end of the world, when I was young, I would have these dreams with the same date, saying that it would be the end of the world: 12/22/2012, around the start of the Capricorn sign. I won't go into more details than that, well, for now anyway, I might change my mind later. | |||

Especially since I remember those dreams from when I was little. Oh well, nothing we can do save to have fun now and wait to see what happens. |

Wow...I didn't need to know about that information. But I don't put it pass anyone from doing that near the end of all things. Unless when and if it happens, it'll just be a small bang, and then nothing. So no warnings would be seen, and no orgies would happen. |

Originally posted by Kitty Jedi Nostradamus didn't predict shit. Anyone could have said "a king will fall" (I'm sure others did), and it's ridiculous to say that this line means he predicted the French Revolution. And if we could actually tell what the hell he was predicting, we'd be able to find everything out BEFORE it happened and not look at it later and decide that he predicted it. But gah, what do I know? And before someone mocks me (Kyouji? ), I'll answer that: Jack shit. Or maybe I'll just say "What the Bleep Do We Know?"... a good movie in my opinion.
