Didn't it turn out that the main person behind the Mayan calendar theory had misinterpreted the symbols he saw but chose to ignore that as it contradicted his theory?

The few of ye who voted yes and actually meant it will ye get outside and stop being a bunch of ****ing retards. You could be hit by a car tomorrow. OH NO THE MAYAN CALENDER DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING!

People and their retarded theories annoy the **** outta me.

There is a mayan calender, the most advanced calender known to man, that can predict where and when the stars will be throughout the ages. The calender ends in 2012, which the mayans think that this means a new era in human evolution, an "awakening" of some kind. It is said that in 2012, massive disasters will happen throughout the world, like earhquakes and floods. This happens every 3500 years or so, some think, by a mysterious massive planet like object travelling through our solar system, others beleive in aliens, the new world order or a black hole. Nasa predicted that the north and south poles will shift in 2012, and that the earth will pass through the gravitational line of a black hole in our galaxy in 2012. you can find more info about 2012 on youtube or the internet.
But my question is, do you beleive this or anything will happen? The evidence seems to be pointing towards something will happen!

They got the calender wrong , this is 2012 http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread421755/pg1

The Mayans merely predicted the London olympics but fecked up along the way themselves cox they won't be able to make it themselves.

no it wont happen... they always say stuff like this and it never happens.

After nothing happens in 2012 then something will happen in 2020..... its all a load of bollox

Do you really believe that the mayans perdicted the end of the world? They just realised that it was pointless to make a calender soooo long, why would they care, they wouldn't be around.

For the idiots that believe earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis will all happen on the same day, to such an effect that it will destroy the world, stop breathing, please... We do not need your genes poluting our species. Thank you.

There will always be some sort of doomsday crap just around the corner, 10 or 15 years away. People will make money off it, and they will laugh at you .

If the world is going to end on that day, it will have nothing to do with any crazy perdictions. Mankind does not have foresight, you watch too much lord of the rings to be honest. We do not, nor will we ever have the capabilities to perdict the future. If the world ends on december 21st 2012, it will be some nutty dictator who has a load of nukes... say north korea, that will do it.

There are too many gulible people in this world. We could really do without them...

Calm down man, it's not the end of the world :pac:

Anyone know what kinda odds bookies are offering on The End of the World in 2012.
Could be a nice little wager tbh. :pac:

We didnt listen!

People never learn, after all that has happened over the decades how can we ignore the weight of evidence?

After all those red-top specials with 'mystical' typesetting that came out in 1999, after Y2K, after new years eve 1999, a few days after new years eve 1999.....ok, after June 6th 2000...and then new years eve 2001??

We didnt listen!!!

May 5th, 2000 was predicted as a day where the planetary alignment of all the planets in the solar system would cause the earth's poles to shift. Nothing happened.

There was also something about June 6th, 2006. Not only did nothing happen but it was a great day for me.

So no, I don't believe this. No calendar can be made go on forever, it had to stop somewhere.

The sad thing is, I can remember being young and stupid enough to believe some of it (I turned 17 in 1999...)

A third level education later, I'm still amazed at the sheer scale of these things. The CT guys have many other happenings to throw your way in case you dont buy the Mayan calendar thing

Didn't think you could accurately predict those, wait a minute are we talking about a scientific prediction or some ****e that popped into somebody's head.

Either way they're harmless, may increase the chances of seeing an aurora though

An arch-angel someone or other told this fellow about it , so it must be true.

Perhaps it's the lateness and my inability to sleep but I decided to make myself think along the lines of it's going to happen. My first reaction was **** but then I thought, it would be really interesting. Imagine what the governments would try to do to get the place going again, for some reason that's just making me laugh. I'm getting a little excited over this, if something does happen (which I don't think it will) I can't wait. I don't know why but I just get giddy (and probably insane) at night.

Tyler MacDurden

A sample of failed apocalyptic predictions (courtesy of http://www.abhota.info/end6.htm):

ca. 2800 BC
According to Isaac Asimov's Book of Facts (1979), an Assyrian clay tablet dating to approximately 2800 BC was unearthed bearing the words "Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. There are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end. Bribery and corruption are common." This is one of the earliest examples of the perception of moral decay in society being interpreted as a sign of the imminent end.

634 BC Apocalyptic thinking gripped many ancient cultures, including the Romans. Early in Rome's history, many Romans feared that the city would be destroyed in the 120th year of its founding. There was a myth that 12 eagles had revealed to Romulus a mystical number representing the lifetime of Rome, and some early Romans hypothesized that each eagle represented 10 years. The Roman calendar was counted from the founding of Rome, 1 AUC (ab urbe condita) being 753 BC. Thus 120 AUC is 634 BC. (Thompson p.19)

389 BC Some Romans figured that the mystical number revealed to Romulus represented the number of days in a year (the Great Year concept), so they expected Rome to be destroyed around 365 AUC (389 BC). (Thompson p.19)

1st Century Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." (Matthew 16:28) This implies that the Second Coming would return within the lifetime of his contemporaries, and indeed the Apostles expected Jesus to return before the passing of their generation.

ca. 70 The Essenes, a sect of Jewish ascetics with apocalyptic beliefs, may have seen the Jewish revolt against the Romans in 66-70 as the final end-time battle. (Source: PBS Frontline special Apocalypse!)

2nd Century The Montanists believed that Christ would come again within their lifetimes and establish a new Jerusalem at Pepuza, in the land of Phrygia. Montanism was perhaps the first bona fide Christian doomsday cult. It was founded ca. 156 AD by the tongues-speaking prophet Montanus and two followers, Priscilla and Maximilla. Despite the failure of Jesus to return, the cult lasted for several centuries. Tertullian, who once said "I believe it just because it is unbelievable" (a true skeptic if ever there was one!), was perhaps the most renowned Montanist. (Gould p.43-44)

247 Rome celebrated its thousandth anniversary this year. At the same time, the Roman government dramatically increased its persecution of Christians, so much so that many Christians believed that the End had arrived. (Source: PBS Frontline special Apocalypse!)

365 Hilary of Poitiers predicted the world would end in 365. (Source: Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance)

380 The Donatists, a North African Christian sect headed by Tyconius, looked forward to the world ending in 380. (Source: American Atheists)

.......and so on, in the thousands, up to and beyond 20-bloody-12.

Any venture capitalists out there want to finance my online Tinfoil Helmet supply company? Stupidity is apparently recession-proof. :rolleyes:

There was indeed, it knocked out a grand total of one satellite and about 40 New Yorkers couldn't work their phones for a few hours....catastrophic
Only for all the rich arseholes who can't live without their phones and sure who cares if they die anyway

Strange that FF went to Europe with a plan that saved Ireland from being fcuked out of the Euro and the eu treaties Ireland signed.
strangely the plan runs until 2013!:eek:

"Ah sure jazus guys according to the Calender We wont be around by then" sez Biffo to the cabinet",so lets just live for today like We always did!:D"

The only scientific thing which is going to occur in 2012 is...

the end of a Solar Cycle which occurs every 11 years. So there will be a few solar flares could knock out electrics phones etc for a few weeks and your gf's are likely to be a bit hormonal.

Oh and of course all the mass suicides by cults who believe the world will end which means all in all less idiots in the world
