Dude it's nothing more than the end of a cycle in a calendar. The problem is people are lending waaayyy too much credibility into an old culture's mythology or the senseless speculation being done by wackos.

Like I said, it's nothing more than the end of a calendar unit and the beginning of a new one similar to a new millennium for us. There's no credible evidence to suggest the mayans as a whole believed anything would happen in 2012 considering references are scarce and contradictory.

All of this doomsday, new age, end of cycle stuff is all crap made up by people seeking attention or money.

That might be true, but we can't hope for one of the things I stated in my post?

And also, isnt there supposed to be a massive asteroid that is supposed to be really close to us ir hit that day?

The whole celestial body/asteroid thing is pseudoscience not supported by any real evidence :) 

Also it's nice to think that we'll start coming together to fix our world like you proposed in your op I just don't see it happening

Sadly the Mayan calendar doesn't end in 2012, but in 21?? something


I could have sworm the Mayan cycles are 5125 years. Some other groups cycles were 26,000, and anothers is 104,000 which all fall onto 12/21/2012 at 11:11am.


11:11am of which time zone?

I'm pretty sure 2012 is when Microsoft finally pulls the trigger and all the xbox's will transform and enslave the human race.

The world ends in 6 days. Proof? My calendar doesn't go further than that.


That's OK, I've plotted 12 thousands years in calendar form on microsoft word and it's backed up on 4 hard drives and internet server storage.

You can sleep in peace, tonight.

The Mayan calendars are that... calendars.  They have cycles, and it means an end of a given cycle.  It seems that the human mind likes to end up conveying more meaning somewhere than really exists.  This thinking does end up taking on certain magical overtones.  Anyhow, as a kicker here, there is some belief we may not even have the end of the long cycle correctly.

Anyhow, exactly what can you do to survive the change?  You in a place to build a shelter and store food, and ride it out?  If not, go about your own life here.  There likely isn't anything to see.  Unlike the Y2K problem, this isn't something that can be patched.  It would be more productive to focus on climate change actually.

But I thought NASA calculated that the asteroid should be within Earth's path.

And yes, it is nice to think that the basic thought process that has grasped people for centuries could be destroyed with one of two different events. And I feel its a matter of time before one of them does happen.

There is no asteroid, that's just what doomsayers and 2012 websites want you to believe. I recall similar claims being made in regards to 1999, 2000 and 2010 and look how those turned out.

This is a great page for debunking any apocalyptic stuff about 2012. Other legit scientific sources like national geographic, discover magazine, bad astronomy, sky and earth magazine, universe today and many other legit scientific web/magazine sources have all run similar articles on why the 2012 doomsday stuff is all crap and shouldn't be believed. People need to not just google it because it'll yield nothing but the numerous hoax websites

Interesting to say the least. I personally never believed that there was going to be some major event like that. The only think I could see happening is a random sun blindside asteroid hits the Earth on no specific date.

Only think I want to see is there to be a shift in thought when we switch from one Mayan long count cycle to another. Like I said, maybe we will have discovered the god particle or real alien encounter. The first has a good chance of happening eventually, the other, is wishful thinking but there is still a slight chance that it could happen as I feel nothing is impossible.
