How does it predict where and when the stars will be throughout the ages if it ends in 2012. That's not an "age". In astronomical terms it's a nanosecond!!

Maybe if the Mayans had concentrated more on inventing the wheel rather than focusing on human sacrifice and the sort of predictions that are more suited to the astrology section of a tabloid they wouldn't have been wiped out by the Spanish.

Still I wonder did they see that coming?

They did apparently. Wasn't there meant to be the return of some white skinned god at some stage in their folklore?

It's not as advanced as mine, mine displays the date on the wall using lasers!

My calendar s**ts on the Mayan one.

Nah, apparently that's a load of ballcocks! Cortes made it up so as to use it as an excuse to flatten the Aztecs. Basically he claimed that when the Aztec lad saw him he thought him a god, bowed down to him and then gave up his throne and begged to be converted. (i.e. kidnapped)

Surely if any of those cultures actually believed that these white men were gods they might have been a little intimidated by the sheer number of them. It wasn't only the one white lad traipsing around South America. There was loads of them.

Anyway Quetzacoatl or the Kirkiruk (sp?) was supposed to be a feathered serpent of some kind. Doesn't really describe a white man.

Its been foretold that the world will end at pretty much every significant milestone in history.

If you keep guessing you eventually get it right.

This thread reminded me of a discussion on a highly regarded current affairs show I saw lately:

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!

Lads that is potentially the biggest cock-block on New Years Eve 2011...I don't mean the "black hole", I mean the end of the world or alien invasion.

Is a north and south pole shift in the Karma Sutra??

Cock-block...? Johnny, if you can't get a shag the night before the world ends, you're not trying hard enough!

If Sarah Palin is elected US president in 2012, this may be true. Otherwise, I think we'll be ok.

I'll be 30 in 2012, I'll probably have had enough of gittin' laid and rockin' out at that stage. Roll on end of the world.

Unless the voter base of this thread is made entirely of physicists and astronomers, it is pointless.

Can't be that advanced if they only got to 2012, even the one on my PC goes to 2099, thats much more advanced!

In fairness the Mayans were very well advanced when it cames to some aspects of maths, they had the orbit of Venus recorded accurately. They believed things worked in cycles, the last calendar they had predicted their most recent cycle ending on 2012. Hopefully the morons who believe the current nonsense join a suicide cult to rid the world of their stupidity.

No, ain't gonna happen.

Getting sick of hearing these now :rolleyes:

Cookie_Monster

Maybe if the Mayans paid more attention to gun powder, metal working or medicine than looking at the sky they may still be around to tell us all why their calendar stops in 2012!

Who are the Mayans? Are those the guys who dress up and play the panpipes on the street?

I definitely believe them, if so, and will be sure to ask them for some advice next time I hear the mysterious strains of Titanic echoing down Henry Street.
