2012 Apocalypse mayan predictions

Are the 2012 apocalypse Mayan predictions and what is written inside the 2012 Official Countdown guide for real? There are a lot of discussions nowadays about the world-end predictions made for the year of 2012, especially ever since the forecasts were made into a movie and shown to the public. If the Mayan predictions were really true, this would mean that there is really little time left for us to prepare. Atheists, agnostics and many major and minor religions around the world have all agreed that something is about to happen in the year 2012.

This guide is written by James Sayer and is meant to explain to readers the real significance of 2012 and how to help them prepare for disaster. Reading this guide, I have discovered many of the truths about history and how they point towards an event that can very possibly happen in the year 2012. Readers will learn the real Nostradamus visions and predictions that were made which forecasted the WWII. There are some world-end theories inside as well.

There are some extreme predictions being made about how our lives will be destroyed a planet that could shift into the Earth's path and collide with it, destroying and throwing every life form into space. Other scientists believe that a meteor will fly into the path of the Earth and hit it with extreme impact. There are also theories being made about how it could be swallowed up by a massive black hole cause by a gravity explosion. Regardless of what happens, the 2012 Official Countdown Guide will provide all the interesting and some shocking facts about what might happen and how to prepare in advance for it.

Facts about the doomsday

There's a lot of false information floating around the web related to the 2012 doomsday. In this article, I'll list some 2012 proof, that is 10 facts about the doomsday in 2012.

The following is a list of facts related to the 2012 doomsday:

• The Mayan Calendar starts 3113 B.C. and ends December 21. 2012.
• The Mayans have accurately described various astronomical events.
• The galactic alignment is happening right now. It started in 1980 and ends in 2016. The sun was best aligned with the center of the galaxy in 1998. This alignment occurs every 25,800 years.
• There is a magnetic pole shift going on right now. Scientists believe these pole shifts happen with hundreds of thousands of years in between, each lasting about 100 years. The present pole shift have just started and it's happening faster than expected(It was supposed to start in the 24th century).
• The book of revelation does mention that the end times are near, however it doesn't say an exact date.
• There is a software called "Timewave Zero" which describes various historical events based on a mathematical algorithm. According to this software, 2012 will be the end of time.
• The "Web Bot", originally developed in the late 1990s for making stock market predictions, suggest that there will be worldwide catastrophic events in 2012.
• A gigantic asteroid named 433 Eros will pass earth on January 31, 2012.
• "The Bible Code", a popular book published in 1998 that finds hidden messages in the bible, predicts the end of the world in 2012.
• Some of the interpretations of the prophecies of Nostradamus supports the 2012 doomsday.

2012 a reality bound to happen

There is strong debate regarding the 2012 doomsday expectations. There are people who believe that the theory is true and there are others who laugh at the possibility that the world as we know it will disappear on 21.12.2012. Firstly, let me tell you what is all the fuzz about, for everyone who doesn’t know . On December 21, 2012 the apparent "Doomsday" will occur. Regardles of how this might look like to you, don't just throw this off as a Conspiracy Theory just yet.

The Mayans calendar, they have set their calendar three thousand years ago, and their clock is still in use eventhough the Mayans themselves were killed years ago. On the mysterious date 21.12.2009 is the date when their calendar stops, or as someone refers to it, the Mayan calendar resets. In addition, the Mayans have successfully predicted events like the both World Wars. According to Einstein, everything on Earth is run by clocks, So the question then is – What will happen when everything triggers at the same time? This theory goes back to when Einstein collectively figured out all of Earth plates and faults could and might move i.e. trigger all at once, producing mass earthquakes and volcanoes.

If you are not convinced yet take into account the following: in the “Bible” it is mentioned that “God” will not end the world with water, but the world will be ended by fire. In addition, the immense predictor, Nostradamus, who successfully predicted the Adolf Hitler raising to power as well as the World Wars, initially predicts a third World War which will be started by some third world country. He also portrays the end of the world as being full of fire and power. Coming to the 2012 theory, I must say that I personally believe in 21 12 2012 doomsday expectations. Although, I can’t say that I fully agree with the actual disasters that will take place, I do believe that something will happen and we should all be prepared for it, we should prepare to survive, to save ourselves and our beloved ones.

2012 Examined

It's always been my philosophy that the most rational approach to anything is to safety and emergency preparednessbalance reason with readiness. So when the murmurs about 2012 began to grow into grumblings, and the grumblings grew into shouts, and the shouts grew into hysterical ranting, I figured it was about time to look into the matter and see if I couldn't find out what the facts on 2012 really were. Should we be worried? Should we stock up? And whose opinion should we trust? There are an awful lot of crisis-mongers out there, willing to pass along any terror-inducing hype as a means of parting you from your bucks. If there really IS anything we should know about December 21, 2012 that's significant to our safety or peace of mind, then it would be a shame to lose the message because we got too tired of listening to the tinfoil-hat-wearing New Age crap-peddlers.

So, what are the facts? 2012 does, after all, seem to present a unique confluence of multiple prophecies, events, predictions, mythologies, and cosmologies. It's arguable that no prior period in history has seen such a merging of so wild a variety of belief systems and prophecies. There's the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar, and biblical prophecies of the End Times. The predictions of the I Ching, and Timewave Zero. The Sybil, Nostradamus, Isaac Newton, Edgar Cayce, and Mother Shipton all weigh in, among others. The Hopi have tossed a hat into the ring. Even science - or at least pseudoscience - gets a toe in the door, what with the statistics of the Bible code, the Web Bot Project, the Solar Maximum and threatening Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), predictions of a possible geomagnetic reversal (incorrectly referred to as a "polar shift"), the Precession of the Equinoxes, and the potentially deadly Planet X flyby. What isn't debated is that there will be a rare galactic alignment on that day, one that only appears every 26,000 years or so, which in itself is enough to make even the skeptics pause for thought. As we finally, truly enter the Age of Aquarius, 2012 has become the byword for futurist phobias. But is it just Y2K on steroids?

There is simply too much out there on 2012 to get away with ignoring it completely. It's only a matter of time before the media latch onto it and hype the living hell out of the subject - the History Channel has certainly taken the lead there. But when you really dig in and read the literature and hit the blogs, trying to nail down the facts on 2012, you're pretty likely to end up both fascinated and befuddled, and even run the risk of joining the collective obsession and succumbing to the scare.

Any research on 2012 has to start with the Mayan Long Count Calendar. The Mayans actually were (and are) brilliant mathematicians, astronomers, and time keepers. Their calendric system, which is based largely on astronomical observances, has a degree of accuracy and a depth of symbology that puts our Gregorian system to shame. Two thousand years ago, at a time when the majority of the world didn't question the idea that the world was flat and earth was the center of the universe, the Mayans came up with a cosmological view that could make astronomical predictions that were accurate to within mere seconds. No mean feat, to say the least. I certainly can't go into even a fraction of detail about this fascinating topic in this short article, but I encourage you to read more about it, as it's one of the most interesting angles to the whole 2012 topic.

But possibly the most interesting thing is that the Mayan faith and mythology, their systems for keeping time, and even their design and hieroglyphs, are very like those of other traditional civilizations, such as the Egyptians, with whom they were unlikely to have had contact. This odd synchronicity becomes tough to explain, until you consider the one thing they did have in common - the sky. Is it really possible that multiple cultures and civilizations, divided by vast distances in time and geography, could divine similar meaning and draw the same conclusions from the same astronomical observances? And if so, does this lend greater credibility to their philosophy of time and how it is to unfold? Anthropologists attempt to answer this question, with varying degrees of success.

In our solar system, the Sun and the planets share roughly the same plane of orbit, known as the plane of the ecliptic. From our perspective here on Earth, the Zodiacal constellations move along or near the ecliptic, and over a span of time, appear to recede counterclockwise by one degree every 72 years. This movement is attributed to a tiny wobble in the Earth's axis as it rotates. The result is that, approximately every 2,160 years, the constellation visible early on the morning of the spring equinox changes. In Western astrological traditions, this signals the end of one astrological age (currently the Age of Pisces) and the beginning of another (Age of Aquarius). Over the course of 26,000 years, the precession of the equinoxes makes one full circuit around the ecliptic.

Just as the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere is currently in the constellation of Pisces, so the winter solstice is currently in the constellation of Sagittarius, which happens to be the constellation intersected by the galactic equator. Every year for the last 1000 years or so, on the winter solstice, the Earth, Sun and the galactic equator come into alignment, and every year, precession pushes the Sun's position a little way further through the Milky Way's band.

New Age proponents of the galactic alignment hypothesis argue that, just as astrology uses the positions of stars and planets to make claims of future events, the Mayans plotted their calendars with the objective of preparing for significant world events. However, the alignment in question is not exclusive to 2012 but takes place over a 36-year period, corresponding to the diameter of the Sun, with the most precise convergence having already occurred in 1998.

Nostradamus much-quoted 16th century physician and prognosticator with his cryptic quatrains has been the most respected seer in history. A number of his quatrains are believed by scholars of prophecy to pertain to our time, and warn of dire events. It's estimated that about 50% of his prophecies have come true. While this passes in some circles as a staggeringly huge number of hits, it's worth keeping in mind that it's an equal number of misses, too...and even the hits are open to interpretation. Never, anywhere, does he specifically mention the year 2012. In fact, he goes on to claim that his visions extend as far as the 38th century, so apparently humanity doesn't meet its gory end any time soon after all. And with no concrete dates to point to, we are forced to wait and see - in retrospect - whether or not Nostradamus had any real insight into current events.

Surely there must be some biblical passages that dovetail with the Mayan prediction of the end of days. Fundamentalist Christians are loud in their warnings that the rapture is imminent and those who miss it are in for a crapload of trouble. But wait - many doomsday dates predicted by theologians have come and gone, leaving their followers wondering what "didn't" hit them. And the bible itself assures us that nobody, not even Jesus or the angels, knows the exact date that anything is going to go down. That's a secret God is keeping to himself, we're told. Did He change His mind and decide to leak the info after all?

Well then, isn't there a rogue star out there - Nibiru, or Planet X - that's due to make a pole-reversing, 1,000-foot wave-creating flyby of the earth? Both sides of THAT argument lay their case in front of the public, and we are free to take an open-minded look at it. As for Nibiru, latest thinking on that subject - at least by astronomers, who are in some position to know - is that it doesn't even exist, much less plan to drop by - or drop on us - in 2012. According to them, Nibiru=fake. End of story. As expected, detractors abound.

What about the aliens, the ones that seeded humanity and keep coming back to steal cow parts and human fetuses? Those who claim to be in contact with these extraterrestrials are supposedly being assured that they will finally make their landing on the White House lawn on December 21, 2012. Unfortunately, we're forced to take the word of the contactees, with no way of verifying the information for ourselves. And why these contactees consider beings who behave the way these ETs apparently do as "space brothers" who should be welcomed with open arms is beyond me, but that's a discussion for another article!

Finally, and most encouraging of all, is the idea that - far from disaster and ruin - the new age is going to bring enlightenment and a sorely-needed raising of the human consciousness to a higher and more spiritual level of existence. This will include everyone being able to engage in telepathy, levitation, and the ability to speak with the angels. Great as this sounds, again - best to examine whatever passes for evidence that this is what's going to happen.

It seems to me that the information (or misinformation, as the case may be) that is making the rounds is being served up to the public as if it were a sort of stew...a particularly inedible one. You might love peanut butter, peach ice cream, asparagus, chocolate sauce, and liverwurst. But if you jam them all in a blender and try to swallow the result, how yummy would it be? Personally, I'd rather eat the contents of my cat's litter box. While it might seem logical to take a lot of really good-sounding ideas, each worthy of consideration on their own, and simmer them all together in a single pot for a tasty combo of intellectual flavors, the recipe really doesn't work. And that's what's happened with 2012. So many favorite non-secular ideologies, traditional (and poorly accepted) mythologies and mysteries, conspiracy theories, belief systems, fears, pseudo-scientific conclusions, and just plain wishful thinking, all being tossed into the 2012 crock-pot. The true importance of this date, assuming there is one, is in danger of being utterly lost in the stew. Every doomsday scenario ever concocted, brilliant or barmy, is being forcibly linked to this single date.

It's weird, but it seems that every generation since the beginning of all those biblical begats has looked forward to the world ending during their own time. Apparently we all understand at a deep and depressing level just how far off course we've drifted, spiritually and emotionally. We are desperate for change, even if it means a gigantic dieback of humanity itself. And if there's any truth to the theory that, by our concentrated thoughts and intentions, we create our own reality, then we have some reason to be frightened for this particular generation. There's a traditional zen proverb that sums it up: That which you are looking for, is always looking for you. There's an emergent awareness of this possibility that events can be influenced by a collective will. It's a phenomenon known as "collective manifestation." In brief, it suggests that the more people believe a thing, the more influence they will have - consciously or unconsciously - in bringing it about. If this is true, then we are on track for SOMETHING significant to happen in 2012, simply because we decided amongst ourselves that we really, really wanted it to.

How the world end in 2012?

Among the many questions that bombard the internet, one of them is how will the world end in 2012? While there have been a lot of speculations the end of the world 2012, there have been lots of predictions indicating that the year 2012 is a special year and that December 21, 2012 is going to be one significant day in our history.

Nostradamus’ Reputation for Prediction.
When anything Nostradamus has predicted is discussed by the media, the information draws world wide attention. It is known by everyone that when Nostradamus speaks, stuff begins to happen. Nostradamus’ predictions are at times so accurate, it is terrifying. He has pinpointed new world leaders and many major events throughout history for centuries following his life. Nostradamus predicted the events of September 11, 2001. Yet, the destruction of the World Trade Center surprised and horrified the population.

The Mayan Calendar, Is it accurate?
If the world is going to end, we can safely assume that such an event will be terrifying and horrific. After all, the Mayans and the I-Ching oracle were horrified about the astronomical predictions thousands of years ago. They knew they wouldn’t be around to experience the events of December 21, 2012. We on the other hand will all have a front row seat. The one guide to survival that I found was at http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-survive-2012 and this source had wealth of information.

Merlin’s Prediction
Merlin’s predictions are alarmingly in agreement with the doom predicted by the Mayans. What was it that the Mayans found that was so horrifying about December 12, 2012? The rising sun on that date will line up perfectly with the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Current astronomical scientists agree with the Mayan’s astronomy predictions.

Hopi Indians’ History
Like the Mayans, the Hopi have also always known that there were previous histories; other peoples who lived on planet Earth. Each of the preceding 3 worlds that called this planet home all made the same mistakes that humanity of this current creation have. The inhabitants of Earth have all misused technology and disconnected themselves from nature. When these civilizations refused to change, the Earth was destroyed. First the cleansing of our planet came by massive earthquakes; second by the Ice Age; third by the Great Flood.

Other stories

Other stories predicting disaster in 2012 says that the new planet, many described as Planet X, a planet / comet (unreasonable), or the planet "Nibiru" will pass close to Earth causing earthquakes and tidal waves and all sorts of destruction , perhaps even turning the earth completely reversed. These are urban legends that have been around for a long time, but for most of the stories of history, this should be happening in the month of May 2003, as any Internet search for "Planet X" will reveal. Apparently what happens is that Planet X supporters, perhaps ashamed or disappointed that 2003 passed without incident, heard about a much more popular story of the Mayan calendar, and decided that 2012 is close enough to 2003 that have the correct date and that the destruction of Planet X Maya may be what is predicted. Legend of the Planet X begins by misinterpretation of astronomical observations, combined with the ancient Sumerian carvings that have been mistakenly interpreted to describe a solar system with ten planets. Why the craftsmen who make carvings on the ancient Sumerian should be considered to have knowledge of the planets are superior to modern astronomy is not convincingly argued. If you are interested in any real science behind the Planet X story, there's no better resource than Phil Plaits's "Bad Astronomy" blog, which went into all the facts, rumors, and sources in detail.

This is one reason people are afraid of 2012. Around 500 years ago, Copernicus Hipparchus confirmed what has been observed in 2200 BC: the axis of the Earth, which rested on the 23.5 °, to complete a full rotation every 25,765 years. This means that in 12,000 years, Christmas will come to Australia in the winter and the northern hemisphere would describe Santa in Bermuda shorts. Astrologers call this period the Great Year, and they were divided into 12 of the month or astrological "old", each about 2147 years old. Every day in accordance with one of the signs of the zodiac. We are in the Age of Pisces, and like the song says, we will soon enter the Age of Aquarius. According to the official delineations from the edge of the modern constellations, we will move into a new era in the year 2600. But there are some disagreements, and some places it on the astrologer in 2595, 2654, or 2638. Some put it much earlier, soon after 2150 or even 2062. However, after news broke about the Mayan calendar, the majority of people leaving the constellation astrology official definition and stated that the Age of Aquarius will begin in the year 2012. So, you can call this the three main reasons why the world will end in 2012, but you have horrible loose with astrology, and you also have to think of several reasons why the dawn of the Age of Aquarius may be brought at the end of the world. I have not found any plausible claim to what may have this effect.

So that's a lot of reasons, weak, though they may be, to predict that we will all die in the year 2012. However, there is one important fact that all the doomsayers seem to forget 2012: Despite all 2012-ish variety of predictions for the end of the world, there are far more stories of doom with a different date. For example, the popular interpretation of Nostradamus to find predictions for the end of the world in July 1999, December 1999, June 2002, and October 2005. This also has said that his writing could mean dead will rise from their graves in the 2000, 2007, or 7000 years. Nostradamus never said anything about 2012.

Many Protestant Christians believe that the end of the world will come in the form of what they call the Rapture, when the righteous will all be taken to heaven. Shaker believe the Rapture will come in the year 1792. Seventh Day Adventist first calculated it would happen in 1843, then when nothing happened, they found errors in their calculations and corrected to 1844. Jehovah's Witnesses make firm predictions for the years 1918, 1925, 1941, 1975, 1984, and 1994. A book was published in 1988 called 88 Reasons the Rapture is in 1988. Some biblical scholars found firm evidence that the biblical Rapture will occur in October 2005. Thousands of Koreans gave all the money and their possessions in preparation for the Rapture on October 28, 1992. Even Sir Isaac Newton made the calculation based on the Scriptures that show the Rapture can not occur before 2060. Some Jewish scholars place the "end of days" through Armageddon in the year 2240. I can not find the 2012 mentioned in this story.

In fact, James Randi's magnum opus publication of An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural lists 44 different end of the world predictions that all came and went was not satisfied. Why do we have to think that the legend of 2012 different? Any examination of the science behind each story, even glib examination, revealed a complete logical foundation. Planet X is only a story, which is the most easily faked as concrete depend on astronomical observations that proved false, the proposed mechanism offers to exactly how this "end of the world" to be achieved, the suspect gravitational collapse. Both the Mayan calendar, or the Age of Aquarius people, has offered any claims to how or why the world will end, only that their particular legend points to a rollover in some ancient calendar. My calendar rolls over every time the ball dropped in New York, and I have not seen this planet of natural disaster, except those who have to mop out drunk at the NYPD's.

Many people tend to put more faith in the ancient neolithic tradition than in the observations of modern science. There is nothing wrong with learning and respect for our predecessors' history for what it is, but when you turn things over and began to believe that scientific knowledge is only decreased the natural world from time to time, you're not doing anyone favors.

Maya says about 2012

They are actually very few, if any. Only one ancient inscription refers to the date 13.0.0.0.0 on the next 2012 years, from a site now called Tortuguero destroyed. The question of our scholars have been wrestling with is whether some hieroglyphs end of the text that explains nothing about what would happen. Several years ago I proposed a very tentative and incomplete reading of damaged flying machine, including the possible use of the verb which means "down" and the name of god, Bolon Yokt.

Most of it was brittle and remain so; I'm not sure I believe much of what I wrote at that time. Recently, my colleague Steve Houston has appointed a flying machine did not even relate to the same date. So there are many ambiguities in the reading of only flying machine and the rhetorical structure of Tortuguero. What we can say with certainty is that the ancient Maya did not leave a clear record or be about 2012 and its meaning. Clearly there is no ancient claim that the world or part of it will end.
