Answer 5

Nostradmas is stupid and dead

Answer 6

Who told you that? The world "ended" yesterday.

Answer 7

Why did the ancient Mayan or pre-Maya choose December 21st, 2012 A.D., as the end of their Long Count calendar? This article will cover some recent research. Scholars have known for decades that the 13-baktun cycle of the Mayan "Long Count" system of timekeeping was set to end precisely on a winter solstice, and that this system was put in place some 2300 years ago. This amazing fact - that ancient Mesoameri- can skywatchers were able to pinpoint a winter solstice far off into the future - has not been dealt with by Mayanists. And why did they choose the year 2012? One immediately gets the impression that there is a very strange mystery to be confronted here. I will be building upon a clue to this mystery reported by epigrapher Linda Schele in Maya Cosmos (1994). This article is the natural culmination of the research relating to the Mayan Long Count and the precession of the equinoxes that I explored in my recent book Tzolkin: Visionary Perspectives and Calendar Studies (Borderlands Science and Research Foundation, 1994).

Answer 8

Because the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, many have taken that to mean that time will end.

That makes as much sense as saying the world will end at the end of December just becauise it is the end of our normal calendar.

As do most other calendars, the Mayan calendar STARTS OVER!

I am going to start answering this question by saying "Yes, so kill yourself now and miss the rush."

Answer 9

what is being said about 2012 is not that it's "the end of the world" It is said that it will be a time of a great spiritual awareness. A "turn of the tideS", if you will.    ;)

Answer 10

It is a rumor that is not based on scientific findings.  The rumor has it that a big meteor is headed our way and that it will hit us, unless we can pulverize it before it gets into our atmosphere.

Answer 11

The Mayan and Hopi indians predicted that the world  would end on December 21, 2012.

Answer 12

Uh I didn't even know about the Mayans and Nostradamus but...

Giant solar or cosmic flare thingy that happened in the 1800s before only then it only knocked out the telegraphs which really wasn't a biggy. However in this day and age it could mean:

phone failure

blackouts

blackouts causing nuclear power plant failure

no tv

no sattelite

no internet

:( it just gets worse...

2012 is going to be a fun year...

Answer 13

the aztecs made this calender that has  been dead accurate every time there has been an earth changing event and the calender just ends at 2012

Answer 14

Dont beleive them. I remeber how in 6.6.06 people were like "THE WORLD IS GOING TO END" i was in 8th grade at the time but so many people made a fuss over it. Me and a few selected others justonly saw them as ridiculous. I remeber it was funny how when we were all fine the next day we rubbed int in their faces.

Answer 15

The world is not going to end ever. God created it  and he plans to keep it!

Answer 16

The world ending in 2012  seriously everyone cmon now ..As for the mayans prediction of 2012 or there calender ending in 2012 as a sign of the world coming is stupid because thats just when they stopped the calender.. i mean cmon now why would that want to keep a calender goign for sooo long when there not even gonna be around.. i think they just got tiredo f making it and thats when they decided to stop it . And as for the Nostradamas prediction like i read before scientists have admitted that pages are missing from the book and there was never an actual date they just put that date to it ..If pages are missing then they cant really put that date set in stone . Also supposly he made predictions into the year 3700 soo why would he keep making predictions if we would be all dead?         The only possible way this world will end would be something to do with the sun melting us cuz eventually all the pollution is gnna ruin the world but with the invention of hybrid cars and the technology now a days i dought thats gnna happen.. The only other thing is the erruption of yellowstone national park volcano that would cover the sun and cause everything to freeze but like i said with the technology they have now a days im sure theres a way they can stop the erruption from occuring.

Answer 17

The Mayan calender ends in 2012.

Answer 18

lol what is up with the guy's answer above mine!

I just wanted to point out that 06/06/2006 wasn't a prediction for the end of the world, it was an advertisement ploy for some movie about the anti-christ!  obviously the advertising worked if all your friends in 8th grade got scared.

there was a show on the history channel about 2012 tonight, i believe you can read more about it at http://www.historychannel.com

Answer 19

Nostradamas predicted the world will end in December of 2012.

Answer 20

it isnt. its just a bunch of c**p. whoever puts labels on the end of the world is a false prophet. no one knows when its going to end, i dont care what everyone says, i know what God says and thats all that matters. XD

Answer 21

Big gamma ray hits the planet then....

Answer 22

Some believe 2012 is the dawning of the "Age of Aquarius".

About the 'Age of Aquarius' :

http://www.adishakti.org/age_of_aquarius...

""In the New Age we break free of centuries of false doctrines, destructive indoctrinations, absurd ideas, and children’s stories about God, education, medicine, and love. The corrupt foundations of false society crumble."

Doesn't sound ominous to me!
