Question

Well, Im not worried about it because im a survivoralist so im prepared for anything and everything but I'd like to KNOW if it is real or not ..

Answer 1

look, remember when they said the turn of the century was the end of the world?

then 2005?

and the 6th of june, '06?

these things are myths

Answer 2

it is the end of the Mayan colander. That's it.

The end of the age of the fish and now we move into a new age, the age of Aquarius.

The Water Bringer.

The age of the FISH (Jesus) is leaving and the new "Age of Aquarius" is starting.

That is all.

No more, No less.

Answer 3

Well, 2012 is a little far off yet, so whether it will be the end of the world or not is anyone's guess.

Here's some detail about the whole 2012 thing: "By using an invention called the Long Count, the Mayans fast-forwarded to anchor December 21, 2012 as the end of their Great Cycle and then counted backwards to decide where the calendar would begin."

To honest, I think that if you are looking hard enough for answers, eventually you will find them in some way or another. I've added the link to the page I got my information from, so you can read up on things and decide for yourself.

Answer 7

i dont know

Answer 8

A CYCLE on the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, NOT the world. This is the simple truth.

Known as Time's Special Witness, 7th century Mayan prophet Pacal Votan left a universal message for future generations of an evolving Earth.

Proclaiming,"If Humanity Wishes To Save Itself From Biospheric Destruction It Must Return To Living in Natural Time," he foretold of our accelerated technological society, and the resulting damage of our collective divergence from Natural Law in exchange for materialist values.

Pacal Votan's prophetic call is alerting present-day humanity that our biological process is transforming, approaching the culmination of a 26,000 year evolutionary program. Bringing the return of universal telepathy, heightened sense capacity, and self-reflective consciousness, this is a return to the sacred domain of our inner technology.

This grand cycle of evolution will culminate

winter solstice, December 21, 2012 AD.

This time we are now in has been called "The Time of Trial on Earth," "Judgement Day," "The Time of Great Purification," "The End of this Creation," "The Quickening," "The End of Time as We Know It," "The Shift of the Ages." It is foretold that the completion of the Precession brings regeneration of Earth, offering awakening to all open, willing hearts. Many peoples spoke of these last days of the Great Cycle, including the: Maya, Hopi, Egyptians, Kabbalists, Essenes, Qero elders of Peru, Navajo, Cherokee, Apache, Iroquois confederacy, Dogon Tribe, and Aborigines.

    As avid stargazers, the ancient Maya were keen to an astrological cycle we call the Precession of the Equinoxes. This is close to a 26,000 year cycle in which Earth transits through each of the 12 signs of the zodiac for about 2152 years each. Each of these astrological ages represents one month of the grand, Cosmic Year. Sumerians, Tibetans, Egyptians, Cherokees, Hopi, and Mayans refer to this same 26,000 year cycle in their mystical belief systems and each have developed calendars based on this great cycle.

The Maya messengers, reknowned for their architectural, artistic, mathematical and scientific achievements, left a calling card as a series of super-human sized stone monuments and pyramids with precise calendrical computations. Planted with great intention, these dates were left to ensure that future generations would be alerted to the coming end point of this great 26,000 year cycle. A cycle which corresponds also to a 26,000 year relationship of our Sun orbiting Alcyone, the central star of the 7 Sisters Pleiades constellation. According to the Maya, the "future" which lies beyond this end date is literally "a new world age" - "a new creation."

The 26,000 year cycle of the Homo Sapien's evolution and development is mirrored by the 260-day cycle of human gestation. Collective humanity is right now maturing into the being we have long been encoded to be. As with any labor, it is not the mother, or the baby, who is in charge - it is the primal process of Birth itself unfolding its own destiny.

Thus the December 21, 2012 AD is not the day where all of the sudden a light switch will flip on and everything will change, rather, we are NOW in the process of this transition from one World Age to the next. The changes are underway and will continue steadily accelerating as we head towards the culminating date!

The ancient Maya understood this 26,000 year cycle to be specifically composed of 5 lesser cycles, each 5,125 years each. Each of these 5 cycles was considered its own World Age or Creation Cycle. As depicted on the familiar, circular MesoAmerican Sun Stone, (often called the Aztec Calendar) each Creation Cycle is said to have been ruled and destroyed by one of 5 elements. Specifically, 4 Jaguar, 4 Wind, 4 Rain, 4 Water.

Our present great cycle (3113 B.C. - 2012 A.D.) is called the Age of the Fifth Sun. This time period is ruled by 4 Earth. This fifth age is the synthesis of the previous four. 4 Earth (called Caban in the Maya language and Ollin in Aztec) has several meanings, including: movement, shift, evolution, earthquake, navigation, synchronicity, clue tracking, turtle. In the Maya language, the word "ol" of ollin means consciousness.

In Mayan calendrics, the initial date that Earth entered the Fifth World was August 13, 3113 BC, written in Mayan long count notation as 13.0.0.0.0. Every day from that point was reckoned by the number of days passed since the event of this cosmic beginning point.

As Dr. Jose Arguelles writes in "Time and The Technosphere" -

"August 13, 3113 BC is as precise and accurate as one can get for a beginning of history: the first Egyptian dynasty is dated to ca 3100 BC; the first 'city,' Uruk, in Mesopotamia, also ca 3100 BC; the Hindu Kali Yuga, 3102 BC; and most interestingly, the division of time into 24 hours of 60 minutes each and each minute into 60 seconds [and the division of the circle into 360 degrees], also around 3100 BC, in Sumeria. If the beginning of history was so accurately placed, then must not the end of history, December 21, 2012 also be as accurate?"

(Sidenote: Regarding the World Age cycle we are closing in 2012 and the new World Age cycle to dawn, there are varying cosmologies as to whether we are closing the Fifth World and entering the Sixth, or closing the Fourth World and entering the Fifth. For example, In the perspective of the living Maya Timekeepers of Guatemala, calendrically speaking, each element has a 5,125 year cycle. They teach that we have been through fire, earth, air and water already. The next cycle (beginning Dec 21, 2012) will be ether - the Fifth Age - the Age of Center. Likewise, the Hopi teach we are closing the Fourth World of Destruction, and preparing to begin the Fifth World of Peace. Regardless of the title given, what is clear is that we are on poised on the brink of a World Age Rebirth!)

Within the 5,125 year cycle lies 13 smaller cycles, known as the "13 Baktun Count," or the "long count." Each baktun cycle is 394 years long, or 144,000 days. Each baktun was its own historical epoch or Age within the Great Creation Cycle, carrying a specific destiny for the evolution of those who incarnated in each baktun. For example, almost all of the Mayan inscriptions were seeded precisely during Baktun 9 (435-830 AD). This era is known as the time of the Classic Maya. After this point, around 830 A.D., the great Mayan centers were abandoned and their thriving culture mysteriously disappeared. To this day, no one can verify or prove why they left or where they went.

The Classic Maya of Baktun 9 were of a specific destiny, distinct from Maya of other times. As Dr. Jose Arguelles writes, "In 830 A.D. the engineering team departed back to space, back to the other dimensions from which the Maya keep their watch on things. Slowly the terrestrial Maya melted back into the jungles. The time of darkness was setting in. Sure enough the conquerors came. By 830 A.D. Warrior tribes who took the ancient name of Toltec, which means Master Builder, entered the Yucatan. War and human sacrifice were introduced."

Earth and her inhabitants are currently travelling through the 13th baktun cycle - the final period of 1618-2012 AD. This cycle is known both as "the triumph of materialism" and "the transformation of matter." The Maya predicted this final baktun would be a time of great forgetting in which we drift very far from our sense of Oneness with Nature and experience a kind of collective amnesia. Like a memory virus in which we begin to believe the limited reality of appearances and grow dense to the spiritual essence which fuels this world, so humanity's sense of ego and domination has grown.

We entered this baktun cycle right after establishing the world wide coordination of Pope Gregory XIII's 12 month calendar system (1582) as well as the perfection of 12 hour 60-minute mechanical clock (1600), which had been evolving for centuries. These are no small matters. According to Valum Votan, these 2 instruments are what manifested humanity's "error in time" which is the following of artificial instruments of time that served to separate man apart from the rest of nature, operating by our own false timing frequency, to the detriment of the natural world.

The Gregorian calendar is not based on logic, science, or nature. It denies and covers up the true annual human biological cycle conserved in the body of woman. It is the current world standard because of the forceful issuance of this system upon conquered (indigenous) peoples who lost their land as well as their religious freedoms. The Gregorian calendar is a product of its predecessors - Julius Caesar's calendar and the earlier Roman Empire calendar.

The clock was the first existing machine - going on to become the heart of all machine technology to come.

The presence of the clock gave birth to the notion that time lies outside our bodies - that it can be tracked by a machine, and that we can sit and watch it "fly" by tick-tock as though it is something linear, containable, and separate from the organic, flowing process of life. The adherence to the clock for our sense of time and timing is noted as the greatest obstacle to allowing the full telepathic abilities of the human to flower.

Next came the Cartesian Coordinate Rectilinear Grid System (1637) which went on to establish the foundational platform of all modern math and science. Thanks to Rene Descartes (the man infamous for his quote "I think therefore I am,") the ceiling of perception validated only the reality of the 3 dimensions of physical space. The coordinates of X,Y, and Z rendered the fourth dimension obsolete from our worldview.

At that m

Answer 9

Nobody knows when the end will be. Not even the angels in heaven. If it happens in 2012, I just hope everyone is ready to go.

Answer 10

Myans believe that the north and south pole will shift which will therefore cause earthquakes from all over the world.

But most likely we may experience a 72°F Partly Sunny and a 2% chance Probability of Precipitation, LOL.

Answer 11

its for real.

george bush will make sure that obama gets a bullet in the head. they will make sure that it is blamed on iran. by then, iran, the rest of the middle east, north korea and china will all be buddies.

the US economy and dollar will be worth nothing. Chinese farmers will be buying your home for next to nothing from f***y may because you cant afford your repayments.

society will rip itself apart because of the obama assassination and there will not be enough food to feed everyone.

you can keep your armory under the house, but you will be swarmed like a field of wheat under a plague of locusts.

forget it, you may as well end it now, otherwise learn to speak chinese, get some cosmetic surgery and try to fit in.

dont forget to thank george dubya and his republican business buddies for the outcome...

thanks georgie boy (and your puppet masters)

Answer 12

Turn your brain on and it will come up with the answer.

Answer 13

I believe that the CALENDAR will end, NOT the WORLD.

I recently read that the Mayan calendar "ended" as of 2012.  The reason it ended is that if you go back to the first calendar, it would take up on where 2013 would start.  

So instead of creating calendars that they already had, they just assumed that you could go back to the first one.

Answer 14

The year 2012 marks a "starting over" point for subtle motions of the earth's orbit which recur every 5000+ years.  It is the year the Aztec Calender returns to zero, suggesting a new cycle of humanity will begin.

We have seen unbelieveable changes in human technology and culture in the last 100 years, and have developed and spread an extremely powerful technology, internet, over much of the world.  Human history always changes powerfully when communication technology advances.  It's happened in the past with the Phonetic Alphabet and the Printing press, and we have witnessed the advent of the most potent communication tool ever devised.  It will change the world in glorious, wonderful ways.

So hoard food and ammunition if it makes you feel secure, but at the same time be open to the good things happening around you, and work to spread them.  It would be a shame for you to live in fear during the greatest chapter of human history.

And hey, we're all going to die.  There's almost no point in putting effort into lengthening your short tenure as a living thing.  You can, and should, do everything you can to improve the quality.  You're gonna die, and you're gonna rot.  No amount of survivalism can prevent that.  Make the most of what you have now.

Answer 15

HAHA oh my gosh! the world is not going to end in 2012, what makes you think that!

Answer 16

idk but I could die tomorrow for all I know, so live for today, don't waste it worrying about what may or may not happen tomorrow

Answer 17

There have been many "end of the world" predictions in both recent and ancient history, and none of them have come true so far. I think you're more or less safe. Check out my link for a list of some good ones.

Answer 18

Hoax. Remember Y2K? Last time i checked im still here

Answer 19

why even try to ponder about it? we didn't create this world, so how can we know when it's going to end? there's no substantial evidence that we can even PREDICT the end of the world.

Answer 20

There have been many end of the world hoaxes. This is just another one of hundreds.

Answer 21

I don't think Hoax is the right word, as the religions that believe that are quite serious about it.  But I doubt it will really happen.

Answer 22

ppl have been sayin the it will end for centuries yet nothin has happened..........hmmmmmmmmm

Answer 23

I believe something will happen on 12/21/2012.  Reason being:

1. Mayans - ancient society with very sophisticated with time/calendar, mathematics, and astronomy.  There calendar is still more accurate than our own.  It mysteriously stops on 12/21/2012.

2. I Ching - Chinese Book of Changes.  Some guess over 5000 years old.  Basically it's a fortune teller, almost like a kids game.  Some believe, some don't.  Anyways, the way it gets to answers is through a series of 64 different layouts of lines and broken lines.  Some math dude did a very thorough analysis of these pattens and discovered that it contained a timeline of world history including major high and low points.  This timeline mysteriously stops on 12/21/2012.

3. I'm no church goer, but great up in USA so therefore I'm bashed with Christianity.  I know of the book of Revelations.  There are a lot of correlations in there that indicate we are indeed now living in the end of times.

4. The earth & sun will be in a direct liner with the galactic equator.  This one happens once in every 26.000 years or something.  No one knows what it means or might happen.  There's many theories.  Common one being pole shift where the north & south switch quickly (possibly hours).  This would probably set off natural disasters world wide that have never been seen or imagined.  

It's a very interesting subject.  I'm not sure I'm entirely convinced, but I continue to research and watch.  I'm not so sure it will be the end of the world either.  Possibly the beginning of a new world and an end to the B.S. we currently live in and endure.
