Darth Revan of the Sith Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 [quote name='Ed00001' timestamp='1302084153' post='5118023'] Yes, which is why you should know that the date December 21 2012 was translated from the Mayan calendar to what it is according to our calendar. For example: Day Mayan:1---2---3---4---5---6 Ours: -1----2----3----4----5 Day six of the Mayan calendar is, let's say the year 1115, it happens to fall on 2012 on our calendar, so that's where we got the date. No, this isn't actual Mayan time, or very accurate, it's just a quick example. [/quote] December 21, 2012 is also the day of the winter solstice... *YES! 100th post on this topic!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozmosus Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 But it says #101. Which makes my previous post the 100th on the topic! Anyways, yes it does, and it's supposed to be the biggest winter solstice. I think the Mayans did that on purpose, considering they were amazing astrologists, mathematicians, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judedudemude Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I DONT KNOW !!! maybe .... maybe not .... there a likely chance it will and a likely chance that it will not im going to wait and see ..... while im waiting we can do a betting pool on it everyone throw in 15 dollars (american) just easy that way (OR we could do ycm points and reps instead of money) the one side that is right (that means either the Team YES or Team NO) will get the money (or ycm points and ycm reps) (it will be split up evenly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozmosus Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 That's a stupid bet. Team Yes will win if it doesn't happen, and if it does happen Team No doesn't get their part of the bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeroukoo Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Q: Could a phenomena occur where planets align in a way that impacts Earth? A: There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades, Earth will not cross the galactic plane in 2012, and even if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be negligible. Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence. http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2012.html Sorry if someone else already posted that. @Ed00001, Though the mayans were amazing astrologists and mathematicians, the mayans probably knew nothing about the winter solistice being the biggest on that very day. Tell me if I'm wrong, but our scientists today could probably not predict the patterns of extremity of the winter solstice 5,125 years from now (age of the mayan calendar).

Cody Frost Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Actually, another question would be if this thread stays alive by 2012 and gets 2012 posts (like the game) before the "catastrophe" happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shalltear Bloodfallen Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 No it won´t. (Please note, I am aware that I might be slightly wrong with my "facts" since most is from a friend that used to study the mayan culture) The Mayans never predicted that the world would end 2012 but their calendar simply ends abruptly on that date, signifying to me that they were intending to continue it but the Spanish conquistadors (I think that´s how it´s spelled) arrived before they had the chance. Also, the majority of the prophecies the mayans made were regarding solar and lunar eclipses that for the most part turned out to be very accurate. They rarely to never made any other kinds of prophecies they were as good as always wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~ Dākunaitomon ~ Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Well if you're a beliver in legends such as that (i kind of am) then yes it will end. But no meteors will kill us that's for sure perhaps nuclear holocaust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your mom told you the world was going to end yesterday. And we survived. OH MY GOD 2012 IS A FRAUD!!!!! L0W0WIR903WOU12KOOLOLOO And yeah, we totally know that they just ended on 2012 because they were "tired" please, kindly, GTFO ---- I think that the Mayan culture died off (with their suicidal rituals and such, or possibly the conquistadors) before the next date had been written down. And can someone give me a source on other mayan calendar dates landing on catastrophes/wars? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Revan of the Sith Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 These spoilers explain my beliefs in 2012... [spoiler=The Bible]I believe 2012 will be an Apocalypse in its original Greek Translation. The original translation says that an Apocalypse means "To unveil or to reveal" Considering this is also evident in the BIBLE in the book of Revelations although the Bible seems to misinterpret the use of the word. I believe the four horsemen are empirical to the soon to come secrets that will suddenly be revealed on December 21, 2012... 1st Horseman-"I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come and see!" I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest." — Revelation 6:1-2˄ NIV Basically I feel this is the symbol of Conquest and victory. Now this victory may not be in battle but rather in some sort of competition. Perhaps whoever wins this battle will reveal a secret to the world as a result or the other way around. Rather or not it could also be mans journey to fulfill himself rather than a worldly desire. 2nd Horseman-"When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come and see!" Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword." — Revelation 6:3-4˄ NIV I find this one equally intriguing. Although a primary interpretation would be that a tyrant will soon rule I disagree with that assumption. I find this one may be that this man holds a key that will be used against someone preferably blackmail and use them to enact power and this key may be a secret that the White Horsemen will reveal. 3rd Horseman-"When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"" — Revelation 6:5-6˄ NIV This horseman I believe will come and present a solution to the problem of Famine or Pestilence even though we believe that it will be Famine and Pestilence which I believe is not the case. 4th Horseman-"When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come and see!" I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth." — Revelation 6:7-8˄ NIV I believe the 4th horseman will be the one who will be found out by the Third horseman for past crimes he has committed. He may be tried and arrested or something similar. These "Seals" that reveal the horseman may just be the humans realizing everything that is going on rather than a literal seal. The first horseman will appear and reveal the secret that the 2nd horseman is using to blackmail whatever entity hides an important secret. The 2nd horseman will have lost all power and footing and will eventually be found out by the people which may be the 2nd seal. The 3rd horseman will reveal the secret to solving Pestilence and Famine which will lead to the people finding out about the evils of the 4th horseman who may or may not face the same fate as the 2nd. I believe in 2012 the world will realize something important and use this knowledge to better the world. I do not believe the world will end rather I think it will be quite the opposite.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Anti-Theist + Bible = WHAT?!]Many atheists would argue the legetimacy of what this says because they do not believe it is true. I do not believe that Christians know the true meaning of the Bible. I believe the Bible is the source of untapped knowledge and potential we have forgotten and are presented in cryptic forms that have unfortunately been taken literally. I have seen evidence where the Bible describes the human anatomy and where it also describes close alien encounters. therefore I believe the Bible is true in this sense.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solemn Silver Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 If I recall correctly, the mayan calander refers to 2012 bieng the end of time. Not the end of existence. And honestly, that just means the time cycle of (5?) ages restarts. So I've heard. EDIT: Sort of a ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
