December 21 2012 Predictions – The End of The World 2012?

Until a couple of years ago there were not that many people who were acquainted with the end of the world 2012 prophecy that was put forward by many scholars who studied the end of the Mayan long calendar. This Long Count calendar has lasted for five thousand one hundred and twenty five years, and although the end of the calendar leads to many different interpretations, one of the most popular is the belief that at the end of this cycle the world (or humanity’s existence) will come to an abrupt end on December 21 2012. Is the world going to end in 2012?

In order to fully understand the 2012 end of the world predications, then you should first understand the calendar that is at the center of this controversy. The current cycle, or baktun, of this calendar began on August 13th, 3114 B.C. This marked the end of the last period and the beginning of the current one. The baktun that we are currently living in is the thirteenth, and the end of this cycle is one that has been considered to have a large level of importance to the Mayan people, which is why so many people have come to the conclusion that this cycle’s end is one that will mean the end of the world as we know it.

While there is no definite proclamation of how the end of the world 2012 predictions will happen, those who have studied this calendar claim that the long calendar was created in order to correspond with a long term astronomical prediction by the Mayan people. This has led some to believe that this end of the world scenario will play out in a manner that has something to do with something from beyond this world. While this correlation to something that is going on in outer space is not a definite thing, for some it comes from a basic understanding of Mayan culture and their unique understanding of astronomical phenomena and planetary alignments.


The Truth About Planet X – Nibiru
Something else that has been considered is the belief that the 2012 end of the world will come to Earth not through some planetary force outside of our galaxy, but through the power of our own sun. Some who have studied the timing of the 2012 prophesy and combined this knowledge with an understanding of the solar system believe that the end will come via a large solar flare. This flare will come about because of the infiltration of the orbits of the planets in our solar system by an outside orbiting planet that the Sumerians and the Babylonians referred to as Nibiru, and is sometimes referred to by modern scientists as Planet X. Those who subscribe to this theory believe that Nibiru only orbits through our system once every three thousand six hundred years.

In addition to this, these cultures believed that there were a race of people who lived on Nibiru that were known as the Anunnaki. According to their creation mythology this superior race of beings came to Earth and genetically engineered human beings. They did this because they needed to get gold ore from our planet in order to help save their own environment. The humans that they created helped them by mining the gold from Africa. The basis for this mythology was found in ancient writings that were recently uncovered in relation to the ancient Sumerians, and they documented this creation in detail in their writings. If they are correct, then the end of the world 2012 that is depicted in the Mayan calendar will also coincide with the return of the Anunnaki. In essence, it would be the return of our creators, and this is also something that is closely linked in with the belief that the Mayan calendar signals the forthcoming Apocalypse.

According to this 2012 end of world philosophy, when this planetary body re-enters our system it will cause massive disruptions in the orbits of Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, and Earth. When Nibiru crosses our orbit they believe that it will cause the gases in Jupiter to ignite because it will get too close to the sun and the precarious balance that keeps its gas structure in check will be lost, therefore causing Jupiter to turn into a secondary sun. In combination with this, the solar flares that are released from the sun on a naturally reoccurring cycle are set to peak during the year 2012. It is believed that this occurrence in combination with the cycle of Nibiru will cause a massive amount of damage to the planet on a level that has never been seen before.

Planetary Alignment on December 21 2012
However, there are others who contend that the end of the world 2012 prophesy actually refers to a very rare planetary alignment that will occur during the winter solstice on december 21 2012. At this time the entire Milky Way (including the earth and the sun) will align at a point that is known as the galactic equator. This alignment is so rare that it only happens every twenty five thousand years. It is thought that this rare planetary alignment could signal a shift in the magnetic poles. This polar shift has happened before in the distant past, and if it were to happen now it would cause massive destruction across the globe. Some claim that the reason the Mayan long calendar ends on this exact date is that something is going to happen in combination with this alignment, the introduction of Nibiru, and the solar flares. It can’t be a coincidence that all of these things are scheduled to happen at the same time that the Mayan calendar is set to come to its conclusion, can it?

If nothing else the 2012 end of the world prophesy that is brought about by the Mayan calendar does bring with it several questions about this culture’s knowledge of celestial events and happenings that they could not have possibly understood, let alone have mapped out to the extent that they did. Their understanding of the solar system, the planetary alignments, and other important events is something that cannot be easily explained or understood by most people who have studied this rare Mayan philosophy.

The end of the world 2012 scenario is one that frightens many people, but this does not have to be the case.

Why would canned goods be helpful when the world ends?

By the way, the Mayans didn't even predict their own demise.

Chinese farmer builds survival pods to escape Mayan apocalypse

INSPIRED by the Hollywood disaster movie 2012, a resourceful farmer from Hebei province near Beijing has reinvented Noah's Ark as a fibreglass sphere.

Farmer Liu Qiyuan hopes that his creation will be adopted by government departments and international organizations for use in the event of tsunamis and earthquakes.


Liu has built seven pods which are able to float on water, and some even have their own propulsion system.



The pods consist of a fiberglass shell wrapped around a steel frame.


The airtight spheres with varying interiors contain oxygen tanks and seat belts with space for around 14 people, and are designed to remain upright when in water.

It should end. I think the Mayans also predicted the rebirth of the Earth under the stewardship of the apes. They'd probably do a better job than us, too

Apparently the Mayans didn't factor in for leap years though, so the world should've already ended.

The Mayan calendar is based around lunar cycles, leap years are irrelevant.

Didn't realise that, thought it was done by days. My bad.

Apparently the world is going to end once Gangnam Style reaches 1 billion views on Youtube... according to Nostradamus at least.

Why would canned goods be helpful when the world ends?

Probably because they generally have much longer shelf-lives than processed foods of other storage.

If the world has ended, I don't think the expiration date will really matter...exactly where when and how are you going to eat?

Real Mayans say it really is the end of the world by: Tory Shepherd From: news.com.au December 19, 2012 1:38PM

Mayan mania: end of times or new era?

Preparations are underway in Mexico and Guatemala to celebrate the start of a new Mayan calendar on December 21. Travis Brecher reports.

The whole world is talking about the Mayan Apocalypse, which is scheduled for Friday. But what do real life Mayans think?
In voices that will surely be drowned out in the frenzy over the Mayan Apocalypse, real life Mayans say it really is the end of the world.

Well, the end of the world as we know it, anyway.

The Mayan 'Long Count' calendar runs out on Friday, which New Age jibber jabberers have widely predicted means an Apocalypse.

Opinion is divided on whether the end will come via a planetary collision, a reversal of Earth's poles, or with zombies. Many people are banking on the zombies.

But Mayan elders say it is not so much a doomsday approaching as an Age-of-Aquarius-esque 'transformation'.

Mayan leader Grand Elder Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj, otherwise known as 'Wandering Wolf', told the makers of the film Shift of Ages that we are at a crossroads and we need to transition to unite humanity.

..In an equally clear explanation, Mayan elder Don Carlos Barrios says people have not read the signs correctly and that on Dec 21, everything will change – there will be a "rebirth".

"Humanity will continue… but in a different way. Material structures will change. From this we will have the opportunity to be more human," he said.

Another Mayan elder, Apolinario Chile Pixtun, told The Telegraph that he was "fed up" with questions about the end of the world, and that the doomsday theories are a Western invention, not Mayan ideas.

Today's Mayans are descendants of the ancient Mayan civilisation which crossed from Mexico into Central America. The Mayan civilisation started to collapse in the 8th Century but Mayans, their culture and languages still exist today.

Joseph Gelfer is an expert on spirituality and the Mayan Apocalypse and a researcher with the School of Political and Social Inquiry at Monash University. He is surprised that people are apparently making jokes about the Mayan Apocalypse because he "expected it to be taken seriously right up to the final day".

He has developed what he calls the 'Gelfer Prophecy'. He says people will use the date as a catalyst to make things better, to change their lives.

"Let's imagine there are all these people on the beach at Byron Bay looking out at the horizon waiting for the Mayan Apocalypse to take place," he told News.com.au.

"Nothing happens.

"Then they turn away from the beach, go back to their rented Kombi vans, and realise they have to make the changes themselves."

Mayan Liborio Yeh Kinil spoke to Associated Press, saying "If something is going to happen, it's going to happen".

"Why get panicky?" he asked.

Indeed.
