2012 question any replies would help, what will happen?

The Big 2012 Hoax is not from Nostradamus and it is not from the Mayans.

The Big 2012 Hoax was created during the summer of 2003 by charlatans who had made money from an earlier hoax: Planet X.

According to the hoax at the time, Planet X was "predicted" to pass too close to Earth on may 13, 2003, and kill most of us (except, of course, those who purchased the books on how-to-survive).

After May 2003, they needed a new hoax.

They used a much older lie for the date: back in the late 1980s, some dude wrote a book about HIS personal understanding (which was poor) of old calendars used in Central America. To make his book interesting, the dude invented two lies:

1) the "sacred" calendar of the Mayan ended on the date we call Dec. 21, 2012 and this date meant something special (although the book does not say it is the end of the world); and

2) The dude claimed to be a reincarnated Mayan priest (this is what makes it a "Mayan prediction").

1) The calendar he described is the one we call the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, which is simply a day-count calendar (today's date is simply yesterday's date, plus 1). It cannot end. Ever. Never.

It merely goes through a round figure every 394 years and a quarter (last time was in 1618).

2) He is not a reincarnated Mayan priest -- he was bron in Minnesota.

Still, the Planet-X charlatans used this dude's lies for the date and for the "Mayan predictions". They also used their own Planet X story (which they modenized) and they added other hoaxes, lies and stories.

For example, the Nostradamus "predictions" for 2012 are completely fake. They did not exist before 2003 (and Nostradamus died in 1566, so I feel quite sure that Nostradamus did not wake up just to write these new ones).

Starting tonight, sleep like a baby because I give you my personal guarantee (LOL) that all this 2012 doomsday garbage has absolutely no basis in fact.

For instance, read this Wikipedia article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_phenomenon

Verbatim, I partially quote:

Scholars from various disciplines have dismissed the idea that a catastrophe will happen in 2012, stating that predictions of impending doom are found neither in classic Maya accounts nor in astronomy. Mainstream Mayanist scholars state that the idea that the Long Count calendar "ends" in 2012 misrepresents Maya history.[3][5] The modern Maya, on the whole, have not attached much significance to the date, and the classical sources on the subject are scarce and contradictory, suggesting that there was little if any universal agreement among them about what, if anything, the date might mean.[6]

Astronomers and other scientists have rejected the apocalyptic forecasts, on the grounds that the anticipated events are precluded by astronomical observations, or are unsubstantiated by the predictions that have been generated from these findings.[7] NASA has compared fears about 2012 to those about the Y2K bug in the late 1990s, suggesting that an adequate analysis should preclude fears of disaster.

I did a report on this not too long ago and I researched a lot of reputable scientific information, not the doomsday prophecies based on movies and television series. The Mayan calendar is supposed to end on December 21st 2012, and many people think it is the end of the world. In fact is just the end of their long count calendar that ends after 5,000 or so years (can't remember the exact number). Its just like us going through a year calendar and people thinking every year after our calendar ends so will we. Now, some people make it sound logical because Mayans predicted prophecies, but all they did was map out the stars to create a calendar to help them with seasons and when to plant and harvest food. When things occurred, such as deaths or births etc they were exact in writing them down, (hour, minute, second) which made it look like they predicted things in order to make their kings look like they were of true divine right (remember these people believed that the god's chose who would be born in line for secessions they were important to the longevity the civilization). A little FYI: the Mayan doomsday prophecies didn't pop up until about 15 years ago.

The Mayans predicted that it will be a rebirth of some kind, some of us interpret that it is the end of the world, and in a sense it maybe. The theory of 2012 may not even be true though. With all the earthquakes which were predicted to come before Jesus 2nd return, which Jesus was supposed to return at the end of the world. Overall 2012 is a theory that the world will end and our lives as we know it will too. most importantly a "rebirth"

There are many theories circulating. I think it just like the Y2K thing. If anything is gonna happen, I hope it will be positive. But I know the world is F'd Up.. We see it every day, we live it. I went looking for this topic on the net. I found a lot of research. This one I found to be very interesting..I wouldn't take everything for fact, but this guy makes some real educated guesses...cuz no one knows...

"you can trust someone who is looking for the truth, but not the one who found it"

2012 is just a prediction by Nostradamus using the Mayan calender. The world is not gonna end. God never planned on the world ending.

In my opinion i believe we are setting are self's up for this. With the Media (ex. news, hollywood) promoting 2012 when the time comes most people are going to be stricken with fear and do crazy stuff. This will be were it begins. People killing others, people not working, the world will come to a halt and possibly cause our own doom.

My calender ends on December 31, 2010. Does that mean the world would end by then?
