What is this 2012 apocolypse theory?

Question

could someone explain it. details, please.

Answer 1

Its a Mayan legend that their calendar ends in 2012, so people are thinking that the world ends at that date.

Answer 2

It´s BS ... apocalypse is scheduled for 2025 ;-). And, its been over for awhile.

Answer 3

Actually it's an error in translation- when 2012 arrives and there are no more natural blondes, the prophecy says "Everybody DYES"....

Answer 4

Google the date Dec. 21, 2012. Lots of facinating reading.

The main thing is that the Mayan Long - Count calendar ends on that day. There is no more.

Other people are triangulating this with other apocolypse stories and are beginning to believe. Add all this to the global warming theories and a lot of folks are getting downright worried.

Answer 5

The Mayan calendar supposedly stops at "Dec. 21, 2012, when the Maya's "Long Count" calendar "marks the end of a 5,126-year era. "

One problem is calculating this date to our calendar. An excerpt from some discussion runs: "in which the Venus Round is cut short after 61 Venus cycles to locate a new 1 Ahau Sacred Day of Venus near an actual Venus morningstar appearance, is probably only one of many conceived by the Maya...potent Venus Round of 37,960 days...dichotomy between Lounsbury's work and Thompson's, ... correlation question...Thompson correlation of 1930 (corr# 584285), while Thompson himself revised it 2 days in 1950 (corr# 584283).

So what will happen on this date (or has already happened, or may happen some indefinite time before or afterwards?)

"Lawrence Joseph forecasts widespread catastrophe in Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation Into Civilization's End. Spiritual healer Andrew Smith predicts a restoration of a "true balance between Divine Feminine and Masculine" in The Revolution of 2012: Vol. 1, The Preparation. In 2012, Daniel Pinchbeck anticipates a "change in the nature of consciousness," assisted by indigenous insights and psychedelic drug use."

What so others say?

"For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies in Crystal River, Fla. To render Dec. 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."

As for disasters, a review of the last 40 years has these books and events predicting disaster:

1968 "Population Bomb". Too many people in the 1980s and starvation.

"Famine 1975" In that year we run out of food

"Greening of America" We all become hippies eating un-homogenized peanut butter.

"Future Shock" We'll have too many choices. (The concept of multi-tasking wasn't known)

the 1970s had a concern of a "new ice age" we should increase the greenhouse effect

"Jupiter Effect" the planets will line up and the earth will do something.

"Y2K" Points given for those that can explain "why" it was a concern.

Millennium Supposedly it was to be the end of the world. The question was"Is it 2000 or 2001?"

If you get the impression, there's a lot of disaster predictions and they sell books, you're right.

During the 1800s there were a number of movements that predicted the end of the world. People gave away everything they owned and gathered to await the end. A couple of days later, they started trying to get their stuff back.

In short a number of people are making predictions of something terrible, sometime around 2012. If another China earthquake and Burma cyclone happened, that will be good enough for them. Remember those putting the stuff out are usurally making money off it.

Answer 6

the last blonde child is expected to be born on friday the thirteenth, of october 2012, and the world will explode due to the lack of natural blonde.

Answer 7

The 2012 Apocalypse Theory is based on the ancient Mayan calendar.

The Mayans, renowned for their precise mathematical predictions, believed centuries ago that the world would terminated on December 23, 2012.

The Mayans have never been more than 30 seconds off in their calculations, even though they were predicted centuries ago.
