Would you be afraid of DEATH if a natural occurance were to happen? *Please Read*
I know it seems long to read, but please take a some time to read it and watch the video.....
This phenomenon happens every 26,000 years and I don't believe anyone has every recorded history that long ago. I mean, the oldest religion known to man is the "Book of the Dead" which was Egypt's bible 5000yrs ago. Now Jesus was about 2008 years ago. Nobody on the face of this planet has every been able to document 26,000 years of what might of happened to our planet in the past. This might be difficult to understand if a person can be close minded about shit like this but, I want you guys to think outside the box for one minute. How big is Space?? How many stars and planets and galaxies?? NO ONE KNOWS.... Will it be the end of everything? Or will it be the dawning of the age of Aquarius? No one really knows. One thing's for sure, though. December 21st of the year 2012 is the day time as we know it will end. So at least claim the Maya's, that ancient civilization that lived in the Mesoamerica's since 2,600 BC. The Maya's had an extremely complicated method of keeping track of time, based on three separate calendars. The most important, most encompassing of these calendars holds the `Long Count': the period from the beginning until the end of time. And on December 21st 2012, the Long Count expires. It will be point zero. Time will be up for the Universe. It will be, literally, the end of days. Big deal, you might say. Still, there's a couple of very interesting (and disturbing) facts about the Maya calendar's end. Most intriguing, 21-12-2012 is not a day like any other. Up in the sky, an extraordinary and incredibly rare event will take place. The Sun will move to a unique spot in the sky -- and hold still for a while, since it is solstice day. The Sun will sit precisely on the heavenly crossroads between the Milky Way and the galactic equinox, forming a perfect alignment with the center of the galaxy. Uh... what? Well: the night time sky is crossed by several mathematical lines. One is the axis of the Milky Way -- the Milky Way, as you may know, being that bright band of stars you can see running across the heavens on a clear night. Another important line is the cosmological ecliptic: the axis along which the constellations travel, the line that defines coordinates in space. You can say a lot about the Maya, but you've got to hand it to them: they knew a hell of a lot about stars. For instance, they calculated the exact duration of a year to a thousandth of a decimal point, much more precise than any Greek or enlightened philosopher ever did. Also, they were able to predict every solar and lunar eclipse until this day. And obviously, they knew where the galactic equinox and the exact middle of the Milky Way lay: they called this crossing `the Sacred Tree'. More disturbing, the Maya's were awfully good at astrology, too. Mysteriously, they predicted in what year their civilization would be overrun by foreigners coming from over the seas. Legend has it they even predicted the world wars. So if a Maya tells you the world will end in 2012, you'd better take it seriously. But actually, the Maya's never predicted anything concrete about 2012. That may have something to do with our ill knowledge about Maya culture: when the Spanish ransacked the land, they burnt literally every Maya book they could find. Only a handful of scriptures survived. And in them, there's not a clue about what happens when the Maya calendar ends. So what awaits us in 2012 basically is an open question. And as with so many open questions, countless doom preachers, semi-prophets and other crackpots pop up to provide an answer. The interpretation you hear most: 2012 will mark the coming of a new, glorious age of wisdom and peace. It will be Age Of Aquarius at last, with a world full of peace, love and understanding. The reasoning behind this is actually not that stupid. The Maya's didn't really believed in endings: their conception of time was circular, with every end being the beginning of something new. So, 2012 shouldn't be an exception. Also, the Maya's had a highly developed philosophy of the cosmos. They saw the cosmos as the true mother of things. Consequently, the Maya's thought the cosmos is all around us, and within us. Every plant, every animal, every man is sheer Cosmos. So, what are we to make of it all? Will it be time's up in 2012? Well: we at Exit Mundi wouldn't bet on it. Don't forget: there are many, many religions predicting some kind of end to the world. And the Maya prediction attracts a lot of attention now, merely because their end date is so well-defined, and because the Maya Deadline is only a couple of time-ticks away. And what about that awesome phenomenon of the Sun sitting in the heart of the Tree of Life? Well, that happened before. The Sun passes the Tree every 25,800 years. That's a lot of years, but since the Earth exists for an astonishing 4,5 billion years, the Earth survived the `divine event' more than 150,000 times already! What's more, the last six times the phenomenon occurred, modern humans already walked the planet. Obviously, it didn't have much effect on our spiritual lives. It certainly didn't stop the Spanish from butchering some 800,000 Maya's in the sixteenth century. All Im trying to say is, just be preppared cause this isn't a Y2K crap...this is real, its Science and its mother nature's course! Here is a video from the History Channel: Part 1 YouTube - 2012 Mayan Prophecy Pt. 1 Part 2 YouTube - 2012 Mayan Prophecy Pt. 2 Part 3 YouTube - 2012 Mayan Prophecy Pt. 3 Discuss

dude, Y2K was brought up by us believing that the computers might take a shit....this is different! But like i said in my post, be open minded about it...I mean we are talking about space and the people that predicted exactly when a solar or lunar eclipse will happen still today..it is only off by 33seconds

idk if the earth has survived this before than it will survive again.
either way.. just gives me a reason to live the next 4 years to the max .... and if its true then we all go out with a bang... if not then we keep fucking living but yea seems pretty much like the Y2K thing... but more in depth, i guess b/c it was predicted so long ago... but i still see no hard proofing evidence of this. Maybe i will l8tr if i watch the vids.... but i remember watching a video on the Mayas back in middle school or maybe early hs... still say its pretty much mumbo jumbo bs. I mean alot of shit has been written and predicted. some has proven true while others have just passed w/o any action. so i guess only time will tell wether or not they really fucking knew what they were talking about or if they were just some fucked up mother fuckers

Ya, but do you ever think about when you will die and if you will know it. Do we have souls and is there something after. do we just go to sleep and never wake up. How will you know when you die.

i think everybody goes through a phase of really getting mindfucked over their own mortality. in the end, some people cling to religion, some people reject religion, some people just shrug it off and try not to think about it... i went with the latter two. when i die i die, and hopefully i had a good run. that's all anybody should really want, enjoy your life and don't concern yourself too much with it. nobody knows until they're dead anyway.

If the world end in 2012,(which i belive it wont) oh well shit happens. As a person who has been closer to death than i would have liked, I belive one cannot live life if one is too worried about death.

The Mayans also cut themselves to let out blood as a sacrifice. Sure they were awesome at astronomy and were able to predict when the sun is going to be in a special place in the sky thousands of years later, but there's no reason to believe that just because the Sun is in a "special" position that anything is going to happen from it. It's always interesting to read about the ingenuity and culture of ancient civilizations, but really, if the world is coming to an end because of some natural phenomenon, our 21st century scientists would be the first ones to know.
