ancient mayan calander end date in 2012

Durring the last year I kept stumbling upon information regarding 2012, more specifically the 21st of December 2012 (12/21/12) and have become very interested in what the ancient Mayans knew surrounding this upcoming event for Earth and the Uinverse and the Universal beings here awaiting this event.

Anyone here know about/learning about/interedted in/waiting for 2012? Just curious...

for the conspiricy nuts, it is the date that the government "time machine" made using results from the Philadlphia experiments can not get past and show clear results.

It is the date of a possible UFO invasion by the UFO beleivers in some circles ( related also to the beleived dimensional travel done in the above experiment who related it to another dimension instead of time travel.

The Mayan calander cycles and all cycles end on that date, thus showing that all things are completed.

I still have plenty of time to make my sign to go down down with
* repent the end is near** perhaps I can do a internet sign instead.

I remember reading about this a number of years ago. The Mayans (who correctly predicted the end of their own society) were superb mathematicians and astronomers. If memory serves me correctly you are quite right about the 2012 date given by Mayan calculation to mark the end of the world. However, as a keen scientist or at least someone with a scientific mind I am in doubt in two areas.

1. Mayan calenders differ a vast amount to our own date system of which we have had two over the last 1000 years (Georgian and Julian), calculations between these systems has many compounded variables so a date of 2012 could as easily be 2012+/- 10-100

2. Since archaeologists are merely 'interpreting' the Mayan data the meaning for 'end' may well not mean 'end' as we see it. Much in the same way that the death card in the tarot actually means change rather than death.

Simple really the Mayans forgot to buy the Extended version of their calandar and all you have to do is turn ot over and start again.

Obviously nobody told Uncle Bill, as my outlook calendar goes passed this date! At least if it's the end of the world I can save on Christmas presents that year. Hmm why save? Everyone can have a Porsche/Ferrari/Lambourghini....on the credit card!

Haha. I'm glad you can all make light of this.

Actually, as Wickedimp said, the ancient mayans were great mathematicians and astronomers. To this date their calander is the only one that has never errored. If you read what is written in the many different places it is written about, this event is sometimes referred to as the 'rapture' by the christians (though no date is given for that), 'the end times' by metaphysicians/new agey types, and going even deeper down the rabbit hole there is all sorts of Universal theories (and yes, regarding 'alien' life).

I'm more interested in the spiritual outlook on the matter. I was hoping to get a responce from some starseeds (if there are any on this forum).

Who knows what will ACTUALLY happen on 12-21-12. Maybe nothing at all. Or maybe something wonderful. Or maybe it will be the 'end' of the world as you know it. Though, I don't think it will be END of the world in a literal sense. But who knows. I was just interested in finding others who share common interests. Sorry if I busted anyones bubble in posting this.

Pixie, bear in mind how many times we have lived through the "end of the world" already with no ill effect, making light is about the best response.

Hey If the Mayans are right then I'll be the first to admit I was wrong

Comments on this post
PixieMama agrees: Indeed. I think the 'end of the world' is more or less just end of an era- example:dinosaurs reign ended, as will humans one day...eh...

well perhaps the world really ended at 2000 and we just don't realise it.

2012 is the year WalMart takes over the world to become our new form of Globalist dictatorship. That old guy at the door will implant a chip in your forehead and when you checkout, you bow down and swipe your noggin over the reader on the counter...directly in front of a statue of George W. Bush with Devil horns.

WHAT?!

No, but seriously folks, 2012 is the year that the Watchers return to guide all of humanity to truth...well, their truth anyway. When that happens, Christ has no choice but to step in and destroy them.

PixieMama disagrees: And how do you know "Christ" isn't one of the "watchers"? I believe the being you call "Jesus" to be an ET being, but not a "god".
