December 21st 2012?

I didn't feel like reading through the entire thread, but I've actually read up on this subject. There isn't anything that specifically says the world will end on 12/21/2012. A time period will end, but there is no mention at all of any apocalypse or anything of that nature.

Applying a little logic, one would think that something of that much importance would be mentioned quite a bit in Mayan texts and someone would have found something about it by now.

Overthinking it a bit. "How" they met their end is irrelevant. I was poking fun at the idea that anyone given credibility for any degree of prescience looks pretty foolish when they miss something, like, the end of their civilization.

I made great sport of a friend who paid for a psychic to blab about whatever they blab about. Less than a year later she was divorced and it was revealed her husband had been having an affair for some time. Funny how that never made it on the psychic reports.

Relax. I just think all that stuff is bunk.

Didn't read the thread, but the Mayan calendar has had an "end" before, and then they just kept it going.

Its not the end of the world. It is the end of a cycle based on the planets position in the galaxy. The Mayans specifically write about the events that happened at the end of these cycles. Dec 21, 2012 is the end of their longest calender known as the long count calender, and after a lot of research was proven to be extremely accurate to the rotation of our universe respective to the center of the galaxy. More accurate than current day measurements.

The long count calender has ended and began three times in its recordings. No one knows why they stopped records after the end of the third cycle, which is Dec. 21, 2012.

The Mayans have written that at the end of the third cycle, Dec 21, 2012 the world will suffer from a deluge or flooding. They have written that it will not be the end of mankind but it will be apocalyptic.

They were wiped out by disease. There really wasn't much they could have done about it.

Every generation thinks that their time is the end time.

Exactly. And how self centered is that?! To think our lifetimes are anything more than a microscopic spec of the Earth's existence, much less the universe!
