2012 End world scenarios

Equilateral Plane of the Milky Way Galaxy

It is speculated that Mayans, with their arcanely advanced knowledge of interstellar space, knew that in 2012 the world would end from the devastating effects of Earth entering the region of space known as the equilateral plane of the Milky Way Galaxy. Scientists agree that as the solar system and the Earth plunge into this highly energized plane of the galaxy - it is unknown what will happen to us.

Nuclear Devastation

In what would be the ultimate tragedy of war, nuclear devastation could destroy the world. Some would argue that this recipe for disaster has already been started with the current political pressures caused primarily by the United States and their war in the Middle East. Other players who could contribute to a complete end world nuclear aftermath include North Korea, Iran, China and even India, Pakistan, or the United Kingdom...

Armageddon

Are the Biblical prophecies true?

Alien Contact

Considering that the Mayan culture itself has indication an "external force" this theory may not be as far fetched as one might think. Furthermore, depending on your perspective, the odds of alien encounter may be significantly higher if another event outlined in this page is about to occur.
Were the Mayans in contact with an advanced extraterrestrial race?
The implications of alien contact during the year 2012 will vary depending on an important factor in regards to their actions towards us. Hostile or benevolent. Good or evil.
The end of the world as we know it could be the result of a hostile alien race. Such races are speculated to exist. These races include the Reptillians & the Greys, but other possible include biomechanical Androids or advanced Insectoids. If Earth is rare, then it may be prime real estate for an extraterrestrial civilization and they may or may not care who is currently occupying us.
In consideration of the end of the world, one must consider that this doesn't necessarily imply a negative outcome.
If there is alien contact in 2012, it may be for a logical reason. And it may be connected to another scenario outlined on this site.

Asteroid Impact

If a giant asteroid wiped out the Dinosaurs, it can destroy us too.
Scientists predict that the chances of a class 10 impact (zero indicating no impact an 8 indicating a certain Earth impact with severe global damage and 10 indicating a doomsday impact) are one in 1,000.
Yet did they predict a date ? Some say that the Mayans picked 2012 for a reason.

Solar Flares

Even NASA has officially indicated that solar flare activity will be at peak during the year 2012.

Maya Calendar - End of the World - December 21, 2012

Mayan Latest News

NASA Predicts Dec. 2012

You must have probably heard about the “December 21, 2012 - Doomsday” the day when the world is prophesized to come to an end. In fact, you will find it amusing that this December 21, 2012 - End Of The World prophecy has been backed up by so many religions, calendars, and prophecies. So, is this another theory of Apocalypse that will come and go like the ones we have been seeing or is it the one that we should pay attention to? After digging for several hours through the Internet in this matter, I came up with the following worthy information regarding “The End Of The World.
Mayan Calendar: The ancient Mayan calendar states that the world will end in December 21, 2012. The Mayan civilization flourished in Central America from the 6 A.D. to 9 A.D. They were obsessed with time-keeping, and in fact, their calender were so incredibly precise that its interlocking time scales of lunar, solar, and planetary cycles could accurately predict solar/lunar eclipses thousands of years into the future. This accurate calendar however mysteriously ends on December 21, 2012!
It states that on December 21, 2012, the sun rises on the dark rift of the center of the milky way which is referred to as a black hole. In the last five years, the western astronomers have in fact discovered that there is in fact an enormous black hole at the center of our milky way galaxy. The contemporary astronomers concur with the Mayans. On 21st of December, 2012, the Earth will be in exact alignment with the Sun and the center of our milky way galaxy, a galactic event which takes place only once every 25,800 years! No one knows what effect this extraordinary alignment will have on our planet, but the Mayans believe it would be terrible!

The Polar Shift Theory: Geophysicists have a theory that is strikingly similar to the events predicted by the Mayan alignment. The phenomenon is called the “polar shift,” in which the entire mantle of the earth would shift in a matter of days or perhaps hours during such galactic events, causing positions of the north and south pole to change, further causing worldwide disaster, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and other natural disasters. Accordingly, several eclectic authors claim that a major, world-changing event will take place in 2012!
Even the book “The Orion Prophecy” claims that the Earth’s magnetic field will reverse, which further supports the Polar Shift Theory besides the prediction of Merlin that also suggests a polar shift. NASA predicts that during 2012, as the Sun reaches the end of the current 11-year sunspot cycle, it will reverse its own magnetic poles, which may further amplify the effects of magnetic field on earth as harmful charged particles blast away from the sun (also known as solar storming).

Planet Eris or Planet X or NibiruPlanet Eris/”Nibiru” or Planet-X and the Global warming: This theory suggests that the real cause of climate changes, volcanic activities, and intensification of the seismic activity etc. is the planet Eris’s getting closer to our solar system once in 3600 years, named as 2003-UB-313, which ultimately results in the melting of the glaciers! This Planet Eris or so called “Nibiru” was first observed in October 21, 2003, using 1.22 m Oschin telescope at Mount Palomar Observatory (California). It is said to have passed between Mars and Jupiter some 7200 years ago, which most probably had triggered the cataclysm “Noah’s flood” and again this will be at the close proximity to Earth between 2010 and 2012, which can cause massive melting of the glaciers, causing huge tidal waves and ultimately, the return of the Noah’s flood!
I Ching: Another sets of factors backing up this December 21, 2012 Doomsday is the I Ching prophecy. Despite the views of skeptics, the 5000 years old I Ching has become an oracle of the doomsday. The highs and lows of the I Ching graphs seems to have accurately corresponded to the fall of the roman empire, discover of the new world, and world wars of the 20th century, and the strangest things of all was, the time line came to an end to the exact specific date, December 21, 2012! Is it a coincidence that both prophecies of I Ching and Mayan Calendar came to the same exact date and time? In fact, many world’s religions and most famous prophets reference that something cataclysmic will happen around December 21, 2012. The medieval predictions of Merlin, The Book of Revelation, and the well-known Chinese Oracle of the “I Ching” all point to this specific date as the end of civilization.

The Bible Code & Nostradamus Prophesies: According to the certain algorithms of Bible code, a meteor,asteroid, or comet will soon collide with the Earth. Everybody knows the Nostradamus prophesies, that have very accurately predicting many world leaders rising to power and major events in the past. His prophesies were accurate in predicting the demise of the World Trade Centers in 2001 as well.
Even the book “The Nostradamus Code” further speaks of a series of natural disasters caused by some kind of a “comet” and those studying the Prophecies of Nostradamus states that he might have further indicated the possibility of a “Third World War” where nuclear wars can create “comet-like” mass destructions everywhere So are we going to have a Third World War? At the current scenario, it seems we might have - proving the Nostradamus Prophesies. Even the high-tech oracles which is not even human, i.e., “Web-Bots” are predicting the end of the world as December 21, 2012, besides the Mayan, I Ching, Merlin, Book Of Revelation, etc. Is it just a coincidence or a meaningless pattern of random events?

The Sky on December 21, 2012

The check mark is on the calendar and we are asked to look for "Signs in the Sky." So, what does the sky look like on December 21 2012?
Before the what can be answered the where must be found. When I was first starting the research on this "End of Days" my astronomy program was Red Shift 4. By default, Red Shift was set to show the sky at my residence. So my first look at the sky on this wondrous morning was from The City of the Sacrament.
At the solstice, Saturn is just above the horizon. By five thirty Venus is on the horizon and the Sun is on the cross. Although the exact center of the Sun is not on the exact point of crossing of the galactic equator and the ecliptic, this intersection is behind the disk if the Sun. To the left of the Sun is the Trifid Nebula and the Lagoon Nebula is below. I wonder if the people that live there call it that. The Sun, Venus and the Cross are strong Mayan symbology. As the morning progresses the sky begins to lighten Venus fades. The Maya used this heliacal rising to keep track of the Venus cycles.
But what is all this Mayan symbology doing almost three thousand miles from the Mayan homeland. From my atlas I got the coordinates of the Yucatan and entered them into the Red Shift location window. The Sun and Venus are well above the horizon. This is no good. This great Mayan event can't even be seen from the Mayan homeland. On the other hand, these ancient gods were all over the planet. And there must be many mythologies involved in this story. After all, this story is for all of us. The Solstice

Venus Rise
With Venus on the horizon and the Sun stationary in the Milky Way, a path was traced around the world to see if there was a better location to see this story unfold. There is a locus of locations from which this sky configuration is available for observation. This locus pretty much circles the globe. But, between mid Canada and the South Pacific. the Sun has yet to rise and Venus can be seen on the horizon.
It is at the confluence of the River of the Sacrament and the River of the Land of Milk and Honey that this conjunction is first seen. Only from here does Venus rise so the line of observation is looking across the Mayan homeland in the Yucatan. About seven minuets later, on the other side of the world, in bright sunlight, with the Sun following Venus to the horizon, this conjunction is gone. A Locus of Locations
All this Mayan imagery rising, coming to life if you will, on the morning of the "End Date" of the Mayan calendar.
And in the West? In the west Sirius and Orion, two key Egyptian icons are setting, passing into the Underworld.
It is the morning of 13.0.0.0.0, what else could this day possibly bring us?

An End of Days and The Sun is On the Cross

It is like a large check mark on the calendar, a pointer aimed at 13.0.0.0.0, the "End Date" of the Mayan Long Count Calendar. From the Mayan point of view, this is the "End of Days." It is so significant that the calendar just comes to a stop. It is like having an alarm set when it's time to take your medicine. This date is also December 21, 2012, the day of the Winter Solstice. But what is this check mark trying to tell us. What medicine are we suppose to remember to take?
The Mayan calendar was started in 3113 BC. But, most of the documents that could tell us what this calendar was for were destroyed long ago. In Mesoamerica, South America and on Easter Island, zealot priests destroyed almost all the written documents. Before that the library at Alexandria in Egypt was distorted by fire, several times. Almost all ancient history books in China were destroyed on the order of a dying emperor. Someone does not seem to want us to know where we come from or where we are going.
Yet not all was lost. Writings on stone, lost to the world when the past was being destroyed, have since been found. In Mesopotamia were found thousands of clay tablets. On these tablets is the description of a society in which the government, economy and religion was controlled by one organization. This organization is a family of fallen gods . In Mesoamerica, the writings are on the temples, altars and other stone structures. Even better, in Mesoamerica, there still live the descendants of these ancient people. There are those that still follow the ancient ways.
So here we are. Someone put this big check mark on the calendar. If there was a note telling us what the mark is for, it was destroyed with most of the history of the ancient world. So what is one to do? Look for clues.

Couple of Reason The End OF World By 2012

Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely predicting that five years from now, all life on Earth could well finish. Some are saying it'll be humans that set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it'll be God himself who presses the stop button...


1. Mayan Calendar

The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things: Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and Sacrificing Virgins.Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it's likely they've got the end of the world right as well.


2. Sun Storms
Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it's supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it's been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it'll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012

3. The Atom Smasher
Scientists in Europe have been building the world's largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it's properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They're predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

4. The Bible says...
If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn't bad enough,religious folks are getting in on the act aswell. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil, has been set down for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.


5. Super Volcano
Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple - it's sitting on top of the world's biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we're many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.

6. The Physicists
This one's case of bog-simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berekely Uni have been crunching the numbers. and they've determined that the Earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they're claiming their calculations prove, that we're all going to die, very soon - while also saying their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 percent- and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.

7. Slip-Slop-Slap-BANG!
We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that sheilds us from most of the sun's radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so - and right now we're about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.


Jets From Black Holes

A powerful jet from a super massive black hole is blasting a nearby galaxy, according to new findings from NASA observatories. This never-before witnessed galactic violence may have a profound effect on planets in the jet's path and trigger a burst of star formation in its destructive wake....

Jets from super massive black holes produce high amounts of radiation, especially high-energy X-rays and gamma-rays, which can be lethal in large quantities. The combined effects of this radiation and particles traveling at almost the speed of light could severely damage the atmospheres of planets lying in the path of the jet. For example, protective layers of ozone in the upper atmosphere of planets could be destroyed.

Not to be specifically fearful of, but a nice reminder of the forces that are out there in space. If we understood them better, maybe we could predict or dismiss the possibilities of 2012.


The End 2012
With humanity coming up fast on 2012, publishers are helping readers gear up and count down to this mysterious — some even call it apocalyptic — date that ancient Mayan societies were anticipating thousands of years ago.Since November, at least three new books on 2012 have arrived in mainstream bookstores. A fourth is due this fall. Each arrives in the wake of the 2006 success of 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, which has been selling thousands of copies a month since its release in May and counts more than 40,000 in print. The books also build on popular interest in the Maya, fueled in part by Mel Gibson's December 2006 film about Mayan civilization, Apocalpyto.

Authors disagree about what humankind should expect on Dec. 21, 2012, when the Maya's "Long Count" calendar marks the end of a 5,126-year era.

Journalist Lawrence Joseph forecasts widespread catastrophe in Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation Into Civilization's End. Spiritual healer Andrew Smith predicts a restoration of a "true balance between Divine Feminine and Masculine" in The Revolution of 2012: Vol. 1, The Preparation. In 2012, Daniel Pinchbeck anticipates a "change in the nature of consciousness," assisted by indigenous insights and psychedelic drug use.

The buildup to 2012 echoes excitement and fear expressed on the eve of the new millennium, popularly known as Y2K, though on a smaller scale, says Lynn Garrett, senior religion editor at Publishers Weekly. She says publishers seem to be courting readers who believe humanity is creating its own ecological disasters and desperately needs ancient indigenous wisdom.

"The convergence I see here is the apocalyptic expectations, if you will, along with the fact that the environment is in the front of many people's minds these days," Garrett says. "Part of the appeal of these earth religions is that notion that we need to reconnect with the Earth in order to save ourselves."

But scholars are bristling at attempts to link the ancient Maya with trends in contemporary spirituality. Maya civilization, known for advanced writing, mathematics and astronomy, flourished for centuries in Mesoamerica, especially between A.D. 300 and 900. Its Long Count calendar, which was discontinued under Spanish colonization, tracks more than 5,000 years, then resets at year zero.

"For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies in Crystal River, Fla. To render Dec. 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."Part of the 2012 mystique stems from the stars. On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years. This means that "whatever energy typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 at 11:11 p.m. Universal Time," Joseph writes.

But scholars doubt the ancient Maya extrapolated great meaning from anticipating the alignment — if they were even aware of what the configuration would be.

Astronomers generally agree that "it would be impossible the Maya themselves would have known that," says Susan Milbrath, a Maya archaeoastronomer and a curator at the Florida Museum of Natural History. What's more, she says, "we have no record or knowledge that they would think the world would come to an end at that point."

University of Florida anthropologist Susan Gillespie says the 2012 phenomenon comes "from media and from other people making use of the Maya past to fulfill agendas that are really their own."

Live solar (Surya Grahan) eclipse 2009 coverage

For those who have not made the trip to China or India to watch solar eclipse 2009, Thaindian news is presenting a live feed from cameras situated at Guwahati, India. The feed has been graciously provided by Suraj jain.
Solar eclipse 2009, the longest total eclipse in the 21st century, will last for more than six and a half minutes at it’s peak, and black out the world’s most populous countries as it passes directly over India and China.
Hotels throughout China and India have been offering special eclipse packages to cater to those desiring a first-hand view of the event, while numerous aircraft have also been chartered to “intercept” the eclipse and follow its path.
Medical, scientific, and government authorities have issued warnings against looking at the eclipse with unprotected eyes, though watching the event on television or streaming internet feed present no danger at all.
The stream will commence at 0000 UTC, as the Moon first starts to obscure the Sun, tracking the phenomenon until the Sun is totally obscured at 0059 UTC and conclude when the Moon has passed out of the path of the Sun’s rays at 0206 UTC.

Total Solar Eclipse of 2009 July 22

On Wednesday, 2009 July 22, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses half of Earth. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins in India and crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and China. After leaving mainland Asia, the path crosses Japan's Ryukyu Islands and curves southeast through the Pacific Ocean where the maximum duration of totality reaches 6 min 39 s. A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes most of eastern Asia, Indonesia, and the Pacific Ocean.

the world is going to end on December 21st, 2012.

Apparently, the world is going to end on December 21st, 2012. Yes, you read correctly, in some way, shape or form, the Earth (or at least a large portion of humans on the planet) will cease to exist. Stop planning your careers, don't bother buying a house, and be sure to spend the last years of your life doing something you always wanted to do but never had the time. Now you have the time, four years of time, to enjoy yourselves before… the end.
So what is all this crazy talk? We've all heard these doomsday predictions before, we're still here, and the planet is still here, why is 2012 so important? Well, the Mayan calendar stops at the end of the year 2012, churning up all sorts of religious, scientific, astrological and historic reasons why this calendar foretells the end of life as we know it. The Mayan Prophecy is gaining strength and appears to be worrying people in all areas of society. Forget Nostradamus, forget the Y2K bug, forget the credit crunch, this event is predicted to be huge and many wholeheartedly believe this is going to happen for real. Planet X could even be making a comeback

For all those 2012 Mayan Prophecy believers out there, I have bad news. There is going to be no doomsday event in 2012, and here's why…

The Mayan Calendar

So what is the Mayan Calendar? The calendar was constructed by an advanced civilization called the Mayans around 250-900 AD. Evidence for the Maya empire stretches around most parts of the southern states of Mexico and reaches down to the current geological locations of Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador and some of Honduras. The people living in Mayan society exhibited very advanced written skills and had an amazing ability when constructing cities and urban planning. The Mayans are probably most famous for their pyramids and other intricate and grand buildings. The people of Maya had a huge impact on Central American culture, not just within their civilization, but with other indigenous populations in the region. Significant numbers of Mayans still live today, continuing their age-old traditions.
The Mayans used many different calendars and viewed time as a meshing of spiritual cycles. While the calendars had practical uses, such as social, agricultural, commercial and administrative tasks, there was a very heavy religious element. Each day had a patron spirit, signifying that each day had specific use. This contrasts greatly with our modern Gregorian calendar which primarily sets the administrative, social and economic dates.

Most of the Mayan calendars were short. The Tzolk'in calendar lasted for 260 days and the Haab' approximated the solar year of 365 days. The Mayans then combined both the Tzolk'in and the Haab' to form the "Calendar Round", a cycle lasting 52 Haab's (around 52 years, or the approximate length of a generation). Within the Calendar Round were the trecena (13 day cycle) and the veintena (20 day cycle). Obviously, this system would only be of use when considering the 18,980 unique days over the course of 52 years. In addition to these systems, the Mayans also had the "Venus Cycle". Being keen and highly accurate astronomers they formed a calendar based on the location of Venus in the night sky. It's also possible they did the same with the other planets in the Solar System.
Using the Calendar Round is great if you simply wanted to remember the date of your birthday or significant religious periods, but what about recording history? There was no way to record a date older than 52 years.
The end of the Long Count = the end of the Earth?


The Mayans had a solution. Using an innovative method, they were able to expand on the 52 year Calendar Round. Up to this point, the Mayan Calendar may have sounded a little archaic – after all, it was possibly based on religious belief, the menstrual cycle, mathematical calculations using the numbers 13 and 20 as the base units and a heavy mix of astrological myth. The only principal correlation with the modern calendar is the Haab' that recognised there were 365 days in one solar year (it's not clear whether the Mayans accounted for leap years). The answer to a longer calendar could be found in the "Long Count", a calendar lasting 5126 years.
I'm personally very impressed with this dating system. For starters, it is numerically predictable and it can accurately pinpoint historical dates. However, it depends on a base unit of 20 (where modern calendars use a base unit of 10). So how does this work?


The base year for the Mayan Long Count starts at "0.0.0.0.0". Each zero goes from 0-19 and each represent a tally of Mayan days. So, for example, the first day in the Long Count is denoted as 0.0.0.0.1. On the 19th day we'll have 0.0.0.0.19, on the 20th day it goes up one level and we'll have 0.0.0.1.0. This count continues until 0.0.1.0.0 (about one year), 0.1.0.0.0 (about 20 years) and 1.0.0.0.0 (about 400 years). Therefore, if I pick an arbitrary date of 2.10.12.7.1, this represents the Mayan date of approximately 1012 years, 7 months and 1 day.
This is all very interesting, but what has this got to do with the end of the world? The Mayan Prophecy is wholly based on the assumption that something bad is going to happen when the Mayan Long Count calendar runs out. Experts are divided as to when the Long Count ends, but as the Maya used the numbers of 13 and 20 at the root of their numerical systems, the last day could occur on 13.0.0.0.0. When does this happen? Well, 13.0.0.0.0 represents 5126 years and the Long Count started on 0.0.0.0.0, which corresponds to the modern date of August 11th 3114 BC. Have you seen the problem yet? The Mayan Long Count ends 5126 years later on December 21st, 2012.
DoomsdayWhen something ends (even something as innocent as an ancient calendar), people seem to think up the most extreme possibilities for the end of civilization as we know it. A brief scan of the internet will pull up the most popular to some very weird ways that we will, with little logical thought, be wiped off the face of the planet. Archaeologists and mythologists on the other hand believe that the Mayans predicted an age of enlightenment when 13.0.0.0.0 comes around; there isn't actually much evidence to suggest doomsday will strike. If anything, the Mayans predict a religious miracle, not anything sinister.
Myths are abound and seem to be fuelling movie storylines. It looks like the new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is even based around the Mayan myth that 13 crystal skulls can save humanity from certain doom. This myth says that if the 13 ancient skulls are not brought together at the right time, the Earth will be knocked off its axis. This might be a great plotline for blockbuster movies, but it also highlights the hype that can be stirred, lighting up religious, scientific and not-so-scientific ideas that the world is doomed.

Some of the most popular space-based threats to the Earth and mankind focus on Planet X wiping most life off the planet, meteorite impacts, black holes, killer solar flares, Gamma Ray Bursts from star systems, a rapid ice age and a polar (magnetic) shift. There is so much evidence against these things happening in 2012, it's shocking just how much of a following they have generated. Each of the above "threats" needs their own devoted article as to why there is no hard evidence to support the hype.
But the fact remains, the Mayan Doomsday Prophecy is purely based on a calendar which we believe hasn't been designed to calculate dates beyond 2012. Mayan archaeo-astronomers are even in debate as to whether the Long Count is designed to be reset to 0.0.0.0.0 after 13.0.0.0.0, or whether the calendar simply continues to 20.0.0.0.0 (approximately 8000 AD) and then reset. As Karl Kruszelnicki brilliantly writes:

NASA Offers Millions For Space Technology Delivered By 2012

NASA seems to have a big interest in acquiring top-notch space travel equipment by the year 2012. They are offering hundreds of millions of dollars to companies who can design and build high tech space travel vehicles. Why is the year 2012 so important to NASA and the Government?

Is this just a goal timetable, or is 2012 the deadline? The NASA website clearly says "no later than 2012", so this is a deadline. According to President Bush's earlier speeches, he plans to put men on the moon again by 2012. He speaks about moon bases, manned Mars missions, and the likes. Why this big space pushes by 2012?

According to the ancients, 2012 is supposed to be the end of Human life, as we know it. A dimensional shift. This theory is just gaining creditability, even though it was preached more than 5,000 years ago. If you are unfamiliar with the theory, Google it. You will be overwhelmed by the results.

One could argue NASA and Other Governmental Agencies are aware of what will happen in 2012, and are preparing for it, and others can argue 2012 is a random date that just happened to fall in the same year as the Ancient Mayans and Sumerians predicted.

In April, 2003 NASA Released This

NASA announced approximately $135 million will be awarded to three competing contractor teams to continue support of NASA's Orbital Space Plane program under the Space Launch Initiative to provide crew rescue and transfer capabilities to the International Space Station. The three system design contractor teams ? The Boeing Company of Seal Beach, Calif.; Lockheed Martin Corp. of Denver; and a team including Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., and Northrop Grumman of El Segundo, Calif. ? will each receive approximately $45 million to design potential candidates for the system, including the Orbital Space Plane vehicle or vehicles, ground operations and all supporting technologies needed to conduct a mission to and from the Space Station.

NASA today announced approximately $135 million dollars will be awarded to three competing contractor teams to continue support of NASA?s Orbital Space Plane program under the Space Launch Initiative to provide crew rescue and transfer capabilities to the International Space Station.

The awards are a part of a contract modification of a Cycle 1 Space Launch Initiative solicitation originally awarded in May 2001. This modification extends existing contracts through July 2004.

The Orbital Space Plane program will provide the capability for crew rescue by 2010 and the capability for crews to transfer to and from the International Space Station by 2012.

The three system design contractor teams ? The Boeing Company of Seal Beach, Calif.; Lockheed Martin Corp. of Denver; and a team including Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., and Northrop Grumman of El Segundo, Calif. ? will each receive approximately $45 million to design potential candidates for the system, including the Orbital Space Plane vehicle or vehicles, ground operations and all supporting technologies needed to conduct a mission to and from the Space Station.

The contract modification includes work to develop system specifications, including systems analysis, trade studies and concept feasibility in preparation for NASA?s Orbital Space Plane Program?s Systems Requirements Review. The review, scheduled for October 2003, will evaluate the concept design based on the Level 1 requirements ? guidelines that lay out the foundation and top-level needs of the system. The review will also set Level 2 requirements that will further narrow the scope of the system design, including requirements for crew safety, cost, and interfacing with launch vehicles and the Space Station.

Once the Systems Requirements Review is complete, the contractors will begin work on the next phase, which includes trade studies, development of a conceptual design that meets Level 2 requirements and supporting analysis leading to NASA?s Systems Design Review, scheduled for April 2004. The Systems Design Review is a NASA-led review to validate the Level 2 requirements and determine Level 3 requirements to more precisely define the needs and specifications of the system. A full-scale development decision by NASA is expected in the fall of 2004.

The Orbital Space Plane program supports U.S. International Space Station requirements for crew rescue, crew transport, and contingency cargo such as supplies, food and other needed equipment. The system will initially launch on an expendable launch vehicle to provide rescue capability for no fewer than four Space Station crew members as soon as practical ? but no later than 2010. It will also provide transportation capability for no fewer than four crew members to and from the Space Station as soon as practical -- but no later than 2012.

21 december 2012

Verschillende keren ben ik erop gewezen dat ik spiritueel ben. Soms merk ik wel eens dat ik bepaalde stemmingen en dingen aanvoel maar doe er niets mee. Nou was ik op de cursus boekhouden, er werd mij gevraagd wanneer ik jarig was. Ik zei 21-12-1979. We hebben het gehad over het jaar 2012. Wie gelooft erin?

21 december 2012

Pak allemaal je agenda en schrijf bij vrijdag 21 december 2012: Einde van de wereld!! Geen daaropvolgend weekend dus, tenminste, als je in de zogenaamde Maya-kalender gelooft. Nee, wees gerust: je kan zaterdag de 22e december 2012 echt uitslapen. Volgens velen (Maya's, Inca's, Hopi's, White Time, Steve Rother & de Groep en vele anderen) gaan we van de derde via de vierde naar de vijfde dimensie, van het Vissen- naar het Aquariustijdperk. Deze stap, die wij en Moeder Aarde in 2012 nemen, wordt bij ons ingeleid door een enorme bewustzijnsverruiming en verandering in waarneming van de werkelijkheid

Gevolgen

Dag één Gedurendede eerste dag gaan we de fysieke wereld heel anders zien. We zullen weverbaasd zijn als alles begint te stralen in de meest bijzonderekleuren. Het begint met elektrische apparatuur: hoe meer stroom erdoorheen gaat, hoe eerder we die energie gaan zien als een gekleurdewolk om het snoer en om het apparaat. Maar even later beginnen ookniet-elektrische voorwerpen licht uit te stralen. Ook om mensen, dierenen planten begin je prachtige regenboog-effecten te zien. Met name bijmensen kunnen die kleuren zeer dynamisch zijn. Als men innerlijk nogmet allerlei dingen worstelt, dan zul je dat aan de kleuren in de aurakunnen zien. Dag twee en drie Je begint te ontdekken dat gedachten zich willen gaan manifesteren. Alleswat je denkt krijgt effect. Als je bv. bij een bloem staat en je zouwillen dat die eindelijk eens ging bloeien, dan zul je merken dat datook heel snel gaat gebeuren. Gedachten zijn altijd al krachten geweesten nu worden ze niet alleen zichtbaar als energie, maar gaan ze ook nogeens gevolgen krijgen. In feite is dat altijd al zo geweest, maar deinvloed was op een dusdanig niveau, dat we dat nauwelijks merkten. Tochis dat niet nieuw: mensen kunnen al heel lang voorwerpen verplaatsenmet hun gedachten, of iemand op afstand (bv. via een foto) genezen. Enwat dacht je van voodoo? We zullen nu heel snel moeten afleren negatiefte denken, want ten eerste kan iedereen dat aan je zien in je aura enten tweede zal het onmiddelijk gevolgen gaan krijgen. dan volgen nog de rest van de dagen

In case of a catastrophic event on December 21, 2012

In case of a catastrophic event on December 21, 2012 I would like to supply a preparation guide to help get through in case of an emergency. There has obviously been a stronger buzz going around about this date that has not only been predicted, but also showing signs of scientific possibilities in recent years. The date is only 4 years away and it's never a good idea to wait until it's too late to start thinking of a game plan.

Instructions

Constantly pay attention to any natural disasters / changes to the world as we know it and take note of how much more effective these natural changes are becoming.

Saving some extra cash is never a bad thing. Could it be a bit tough with today's economy? Absolutely. But if you create a mindset to save "X" amount on a weekly basis, you can easily accomplish that.

Have a 1 - 2 month supply of water / non perishable food. This is especially essential in storm prone area's.

First Aid Kit / Medicines. This is something that everybody should have at all times.
Store a sleeping bag / blanket in the back of your vehicle. Even if you never have to use it, it is always better to have it and not use it than not have it and obviously not be able to use it.

Being prepared is not a difficult task at hand. Once you do it, you are set. Spread the word to friends and family and help them in becoming a prepared member in society.

Precies op 21 december 2012

Precies op 21 december 2012 gebeurt er een zekere speciale astronomische samenstand die zo zeldzaam is dat hij lange tijd (eeuwen, of misschien wel duizenden jaren) voor en na die datum niet gebeurt. 21 december 2012 valt in de Lange Telling van de Maya's op de ronde datum 0.0.0.0.0.

De Maya's hebben de Lange Telling precies zo ontworpen dat de speciale samenstand op de ronde datum 0.0.0.0.0 in hun Lange Telling zou vallen, ver in hun toekomst. De Maya's hadden de kennis om de speciale samenstand tot op een dag precies goed te voorspellen. Vanwege die samenstand zijn er op precies 21 december 2012 speciale verschijnselen of gebeurtenissen te verwachten aan de hemel of op Aarde

Het einde van een baktun is natuurlijk veel zeldzamer en was dan ook kosmisch belangrijker; we weten dat op 10.0.0.0.0 (830 nC) het einde van bak'tun 10 gevierd werd in de steden Waxatun en Oxpemul. Op het einde van de volgende bak'tun, 11.0.0.0.0 (1224 n..C..), was de lange dagtelling al in onbruik geraakt.
Wat heeft dit nu allemaal met 2012 en het "einde der tijden" te maken? Als we onze kalenderdata omzetten in de lange dagtelling, dan blijkt dat we ons nu in de dertiende baktun bevinden, en het einde van deze baktun, de dag 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahaw 3 valt in onze kalender op 21 december 2012 (of 23 december indien men het alternatieve nulpunt aanneemt). Misschien een belangrijke overgang in de kalender, maar waarom "het einde der tijden"?
De herkomst van deze opvatting is de manier waarop de startdatum van de lange dagtelling, die in de Mayakosmologie geassocieerd werd met de schepping van de huidige tijdcyclus, voorgesteld wordt op de monumenten. Het blijkt dat zowat alle monumenten aan die datum refereren als 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ahaw 8 Kumk'u en niet als 0.0.0.0.0 4 Ahaw 8 Kumk'u. Dit lijkt er op te wijzen dat volgens de Maya's de huidige schepping samenviel met het einde van een bak'tun 13 en niet met het einde van een piktun (de dag na 19.19.19.17.19), zoals op basis van het twintigtallig telsysteem zou verwacht worden. En naar analogie daarmee zou volgens bepaalde New Age-opvattingen het einde van de huidige bak'tun 13 ook het einde van deze schepping en het begin van een nieuwe betekenen.
Een bijkomend aspect is dat, als we de eerste correlatie van 11 augustus aannemen, het einde van bak'tun 13 valt op 21 december, de dag van de zonnewende! Als toemaatje blijkt de Zon zich dan nog vlak bij de galactische evenaar te bevinden, en wel in de richting die ongeveer naar het centrum van de Melkweg wijst. Al deze zaken samen zijn natuurlijk gefundenes Fressen voor occultisten.

Toeval?
Is dit samenvallen van het einde van bak'tun 13 met een wintersolstitium waarbij de Zon in de richting van het galactische centrum staat zuiver toeval? Misschien niet; het is in principe namelijk niet onmogelijk dat men bij het vastleggen van de oorsprong van de lange dagtelling de begindatum bewust zo gekozen heeft om aan die voorwaarden te voldoen. Wanneer het resultaat geen al te grote precisie vereist, is het tijdsinterval waarbinnen er aan deze voorwaarden voldaan wordt vrij groot (enkele decennia). Als de Izapacultuur een idee had van de verschuiving van de plaats van de solstitia en/of equinoctia tussen de sterren (de precessie), dan konden ze misschien een schatting gemaakt hebben van de periode in de toekomst wanneer dit solstitium in "het hart van de Melkweg" zou plaatsvinden en daarvan uitgaand de startdatum van de kalender vastgelegd hebben. De belangrijke rol die de Melkweg speelde in de Mayakosmologie is een belangrijk argument in deze hypothese.Het grootste probleem bij deze verklaring is dat er nog geen echt overtuigende bewijzen zijn dat de oude Midden-Amerikaanse culturen de precessie kenden. Vandaar dat de meeste archeologen en historici deze stelling als niet bewezen beschouwen.
Terloops: 1998 was het jaar waarin de Zon zich op het wintersolstitium het dichtst bij de galactische evenaar bevond, sindsdien wordt het verschil elk jaar groter; het zal in 2012 al meer dan een halve zonsdiameter bedragen.

Het Einde van de Wereld?
We weten niet wat de Maya's van de klassieke periode met het einde van bak'tun 13 associeerden; dat ze hieraan belangrijke kosmologische gebeurtenissen koppelden (het einde van de huidige schepping?) is zeer waarschijnlijk. Zelfs nu nog bestaat er in Yucatán een traditie dat het "einde van de wereld" zal komen in 2000 y pico.
Wat we wel weten is dat in de latere tijd het einde van een kalendercyclus gepaard ging met onheilsvoorspellingen en rituelen om dat onheil af te wenden. De bekendste zijn die bij het einde van een tzolk'in - haab cyclus van 52 jaar en bij het einde van een k'atun (verzameld in de "Boeken van Chilam Balam", zie de voorspelling in de inleiding).Dit einde van bak'tun 13 was in ieder geval niet het absolute einde van de kosmos; verschillende inscripties, o.a. in Palenque, verwijzen naar data na 2012 (zoals 1.0.0.0.0.0, het einde van een piktun in het jaar 4772).
De New Age-interpretaties van dit bak'tuneinde blijkt blijken bij nader toezien een potpourri van opvattingen te zijn waarmee de Mayakalender vaak nog nauwelijks iets te maken heeft ! Het is voor allerhande alternatieve beweringen eerder een aanknopingspunt om aan te tonen dat 2012 een eindpunt of nieuw beginpunt moet zijn voor de mensheid. Zoals we van occultisten onderhand gewoon zijn worden daarbij zonder bezwaar ook begrippen uit niet-Mayaculturen betrokken zoals yin/yang en dergelijke.
Sommige richtingen zien dit "einde van de wereld" zeer ruim, zowel qua tijd als qua impact: volgens de enen staat het voor een geestelijke evolutie die zich over enkele decennia voltrekt en waarbij in 2012 zelf niets spectaculairs zal gebeuren, anderen zien de bewuste datum als het kritieke climactisch moment waarop veel materieel verschrikkelijks staat te gebeuren. Nog anderen menen uit diepere numerologisch - mystiek - esoterische beschouwingen zelfs te kunnen afleiden dat de fatidieke datum niet op 21 december 2012 valt... Men kan zich dan afvragen wat de Mayakalender er nog mee te maken heeft.Zoals we konden verwachten worden er bij de argumentatie naast zuiver occulte beschouwingen (de wijsheid van Atlantis, de voorspellingen van E. Cayce etc..) ook "wetenschappelijke" argumenten aangehaald die het geheel een exacter tintje moeten geven maar meestal niet veel meer zijn dan numerologisch gegoochel.
