Whats the deal with the year 2012??

Question

Its the suppose to be the end of the Mayan calander. This date was reffered to in the book "Rebuilding Americas Defences" that was contrived by a Neocon think tank. Whats the importance of this date? What might happen on 2012??

Answer 1

First off, what that other guy said about the calendar not being accurate after 2012 is totally bogus. Big words, no meaning. The Mayan Long Count calendar simply counts days...one day, two days, three days. There's no "alignment" for it to get out of.
I have no idea where that other person got that bizarre 2013 date from.
The hype is that the Mayan Long Count calendar is "ending" on 12-21-2012, but it's a misunderstanding of terms. That date is the first day of the 13th Baktun, not the end of time or the calendar or the world. It's like our calendar going from 1999 to 2000 except that a Baktun is 396 years long.
Also on that date, which is the winter solstice, there is a once-in-26,000 year conjunction between the Sun and the Milky Way at day. The Maya saw that conjunction as the rebirth of the sun or a new spiritual age.

Answer 2

The London Olympics.

Answer 3

the actual date for the end of time for Mayan people is 26/6/2013.
this date will not be the end of the world as they say but the end of time and no one knows whats the different, but we must know that they believe that the time starts again every 3 million years and we were not the first .
and you must know that their calender is perfect and they expected every thing about the movement of the stars day by day till that date and till now its perfect with no errors.

Answer 4

The centuries old Mayan stone etched calendar, impressive even today, will no longer be accurate AFTER 2012. It won't pick up back in geosync till after 2017...and every two years after that.

Answer 5

I'll turn 61 that year, so it will be important to me

Answer 6

Nothing!
