1. Just another date on the calendar.
2. First day of winter that year?
3. it's another Y2K theory, things will come to an end on that day. I don't know if it's true or if I believe in it. We just have to wait and see. I better start buying Spam and tuna.
4. 17 days to my birthday. Yippie
5. Isn't a asteroid suppose to come very close to earth possibly crashing in to the planet
6. People were saying the end of the world would happen at the stroke of midnight Jan. 1st 2000 ,and nothing happened. I think it is hogwash and a bunch of baloney.
7. It is the end of the Mayan Calender Age, probably followed by the start of the next one since they carved their calenders on wheels.
Some claim Mayans believed technology would consume the world on that day???
I think it ain't a bad forcast for the technological singularity.
Check out Wikipedia for more info.
8. I will keep my eyes open and be in a safe place. I feel something about that year is important, but I don't know if it will be a catastrophy or an awakening that might cause some chaos. But, I worry about it a little. I just tell myself that, even though my son will still be a young man, he will be an adult by then, and I'm giving him the best childhood I can, because I love him and just in case that year is the end of the line for mankind.
9. it was more than a "great change" it was the end of the world. and i suppose it may be somewhat plausible, considering they predicted many other dates when something catastrophic would happen, (i.e. hurricane katrina) and then it actually did.
of course, there's always the point that many religions have tried to predict the end of the world for thousands of years, and so far, it hasnt happened.
10. didn't the Mayans' die out as a culture...did they see that coming???
11. it means if you don't have your Christmas shopping done,you don't have much time left.,
12. i think we'll just have to wait and see if they had something there or not.
13. This is the first time I have heard of this. I actually checked out the site and pretty suprised at the content. I do not know enough about it to say the world will end or we will create the "new world".
The way the website describes it, their calendar is very accurate so far. They say it should not need to be adjusted by a day for 36,000 years.
There are so many people out there even now trying to predict the day that the world comes to an end.
I think this is a very interesting article but I do have to stand by one thing that I believe and that is....
The world will end when you least expect it. I knew it wasn't going to end when the time hit 2000... everyone was expecting it.
14. The Mayan calendar also predicted the end of the world before and we're still here. Just another day.
15. I find it absolutely amazing how all these dates of the second coming, end of the world, environmental changes, and so on. This planet changes with every breath we take, it is a living evolving master piece, created by a power beyond our intellectual comprehension, and yet we have a few people that have the audacity to say that global warming is caused by man, and they got all this information in the last hundred years from a planet that is billions of years old, It's man that has become a environmental disaster not this planet. It is simply mans greed for money and power that creates all these scams and fear tactics.
16. First, if you look at the bible the world isnt gonna just end.. 1st the rapture then the tribulation then the 1000yr reign of Jesus
17. It might snow.
18. Your information is incorrect. The Mayan calendar doesn't claim this at all.
"The end of the 13th b'ak'tun is conjectured to have been of great significance to the Maya, but does not necessarily mark the end of the world according to their beliefs, but a new beginning or time of re-birth. According to the Popol Vuh, a book compiling details of creation accounts known to the Quiché Maya of the colonial-era highlands, we are living in the fourth world. The Popol Vuh describes the first three creations that the gods failed in making and the creation of the successful fourth world where men were placed. The Maya believed that the fourth world would end in catastrophe and the fifth and final world would be created that would signal the end of mankind.
The last creation ended on a long count of 13.0.0.0.0. Another 13.0.0.0.0 will occur on December 21, 2012, and it has been discussed in many New Age articles and books that this will be the end of this creation or something else entirely. However, the Maya abbreviated their long counts to just the last five vigesimal places. There were an infinite number of larger units that were usually not shown. When the larger units were shown (notably on a monument from Coba), the end of the last creation is expressed as 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0, where the units are obviously supposed to be 13s in all larger places. In this age we are only approaching 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.13.0.0.0.0, and the larger places are nowhere near the 13s that would match the end of the last creation. (Schele and Friedel 1990: 430)
This is confirmed by a date from Palenque, which projects forward in time to 1.0.0.0.0.0, which will occur on October 13, 4772 (a Friday). The Classic Period Maya likely did not believe that the end of this age would occur in 2012. According to the Maya, there will be a baktun ending in 2012, a significant event being the end of a 13th 400 year period, but not the end of the world."
19. I know there will be a great change because on that exact day i will turn 30 and i will no longer be in my free spirited 20's :D
20. Its four days before Christmas, you should get you shopping done by then, or else.
21. Oh my God, I will of just turned 50, 1 month prior, now I'm crying, that sure is a significant year, of course it will be a great change on that day, me, leaving my 40's and entered my 50's.
As far as anything else happening, I really don't think anything will actually happen, but hey, who knows.
