Mayan calendar, 2012.

Well, this is a often discussed topic, in a thing we call the real world (look it up on google ) The Mayans had a calendar, and it ended in 2012. So, people assumed it was the end of the world supposedly, as the Mayans were "accurate" to some people from there predictions, they were philosophers and very good astronemers at there day and age I guess. They predicted the world will end in 2012... some people beleive it, some people think its false, some say they beleive it to annoy people inteaionally... My views that they are wrong, there is no way to predict the end of the world ( that i know of...) for sure, You can make vague statements then some how puzzle it into a past event, but to predict the end of the world is too hard for me to believe. Im not the best with this topic, im not sure if they predicted it would end, or the calendar just ended and everyone said its the end all of a sudden. Feel free to pick and poke at my mistakes.

Um... I'm going to try to say this as nicely as possible. I agree with you, crappy, but I really don't think there was any need to bring this up at all. Anyone who seriously believes this stuff is a bit too gullible...

Its just the end of a mayan year.. so does the world end whenever our fridge calendars end... and they also have to stop printing sometime...

Nah. The only thing that'll happen on 2012 is the Mayan Calender changing...

Although I'm a bit worried about the weather here in Japan...It's really unusual...

There have been a thousand thread on this topic, and each time everyone agrees: anyone who believes in the 2012 thing is and idiot.

Puhleez. Everyone knows the world will end on my birthday in 2029.

I would perfer the world not end until after 2037, where between solar and lunar esclipes there will be seven, the most exclipes that can happen in any given year.

And what does that have to do with anything?:confused:

In any case, I agree with Armbar: the 2012 theory is :dizzy:

I say, in the name of science, that the Mayan's never said anything about world doom. They said the calendar ended. It is just our "future" that wants people to turn paranoid. No wait, we LIKE being paranoid :D

The Mayans were normal humans just like us, no way could they predict the end of the world, just by making a calendar, they can't say that's the end, astronimists will have to get better proof in my opinion
