I have heard of this rumour sometime in 2010 about this December and Im trying to convince myself that it's fake and it's a big hoax. It can be difficult because of stuff coming on the internet and TV talking about Space or the theories. It can be hard looking at a interesting story on a news site because of the odds that it will talk about 2012 or anything about the Mayans. Is there some way to stop my mind thinking about this and telling it once and for all it is a big hoax?

Hello s:

I'm old. I've been hearing about the end of the earth since I was a kid... It didn't happen, and it ain't going to happen.

It was 2000, then it was 2008, then it was 2010, now it is 2012 ( and where are you hearing it, that was old talk last year, sort of died away)

Before that, it was social security numbers that were the signs of satan and the world was ending. Then it was other things.

If you have to get a fear, make it one more realistic than this silly 2012 things

21 December 2012 the World ENDS, according to readings of the Mayan calendar as that's when it finishes.

Yet another End Of The World story..

Its not a hoax what you hear about the Myan calendar. Its is very real that they had developed a calendar. But what the truth is about it is that it is the same as any other calendar. There is an end date. Then it all starts over. Really that is all there is to it. Just like flipping the Gregorian calendar from December to January to mark the new year the same applies to the myan calendar. The difference being they had a much more complicated calendar and it has cycles within cycles. Dec 21st is the ending of the largest of the cycles. Just relax. There is no real or logical reason to fret over it.

This is simply not true. No where does it say in Myan culture that the world ends with the passing of the long cycle.

Isn't it that the 14th Baktun will start on Dec 21st?

Curlyben · Oct 21, 2012, 07:51 AM

Actually it all depends on how it is read.
The calendar does indeed finish at that time, but the meaning is open to debate and misinterpretation.
The End of The World can also mean the end of an AGE.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see..

Califdad is right. The Mayan calendar is cyclical, and on that December date, a new cycle starts. According to a Wikipedia article about this, "Two items in the Mayan classical corpus, however, do mention the end of the 13th b'ak'tun: Tortuguero Monument 6 and La Corona Hieroglyphic Stairway 12."

If the world ends, it was nice knowing all of you!

I agree with what they say.

"Many people have the idea that 2012 somehow represents "the end of the world" - that some cataclysm or act of God is going to end life on planet Earth. There really is no rational reason for this belief. The Mayan calendar does not "end" - it simply repeats cycles - just like the cycles of the seasons. I am certain that the 2012 hysteria is primarily a mask for what is really going on. It is obvious to many that it's our way of life that's coming to an end, the end of an epoch in human history - and the beginning of a new epoch."

And we are standing at the threshold of a new world. Look how far we have gone with robotics and how integrated they have become in our lives not only making things easier but also safer for all of us.

Apparently present day mayans are not worried about 2012; to them it was just a planting calendar. Mayans and fhe Aztecs had a lot of mouths to feed so the seasons had to be tracked down to the exact day in order to have good harvests.

You need to read this one: http://earthsky.org/space/planet-nibiru-is-not-real
Also it was mean to happen by SEPTEMBER so we're a bit late ;)

Seriously, how much can YOU do about any of this, exactly NOTHING, so why so worried.

If the world does indeed end in December, we're ALL gonners, same for everyone.

Boom, Gone..

What is this 'Nibiru footage' ? I don't really care, but am pretty well read on current events and have never heard of that before.
