Do you Think That the World Will End In 2012, As the Miyan Calander Predicts iT????

Question

The Miyan Calander has Predicted Many Events that have happend now it is predicting "end of history" set for December 21, 2012!

Answer 1

doubt it

Answer 2

Well, since the Mayans lived hundreds of years before the invention of the telescope, and thus had to rely on stargazing with the naked eye, I can't give them much credibility.
And the answerer who spoke of the sun passing thru the dark rift in the milky way is confused: there is no possible way the Mayans could have known that; they had no knowledge of such cosmological workings back then. They merely based their prediction on the end of their 13 cycle "long calenday" on a date when the winter solstice occurs.
Every major culture has had their own doomsday scenario. Remember the Y2K fiasco? What happened? Nothing! Just like what's gonna happen--or NOT happen in 2012.

Answer 3

No, for countless reasons. One, the date in question is Dec 21, 2012, no longer the twenty fourth. 2, the spelling is Mayan, no longer "miyan". 3, calendars do no longer "say" something. They degree time. On 12-21-2012, Baktun thirteen of the Mayan long count selection calendar starts, commencing a sparkling 396 year cycle. If the long count selection did roll lower back to 0, it would be on the start of Baktun 20, it is in basic terms approximately 3,000 years away, no longer on the start of Baktun thirteen.

Answer 4

No. It doesn't predict the end of the world, it predicts an alignment, that's all.

"Generally speaking, what occurs is an alignment between the galactic and solar planes. Specifically, the winter solstice sun will conjunct the Milky Way, which is the edge of our spinning galaxy as viewed from earth. Furthermore, the place where the sun meets the Milky Way is where the "dark-rift" in the Milky Way is - a black ridge along the Milky Way caused by interstellar dust clouds."

Answer 5

I don't think anyone knows for sure, but there are several famous psychics from history such as nostradamus (look up more about them I can't remember all the names) who all had similar predictions about the world ending somewhere early in this century. According to christian belief, most end time prophecy has already happened or is in the process of happening now. I have some interest in this myself, and would encourage you to research this and find out the details for yourself. There is alot of information available.

Answer 6

Miyan? Don't you mean Mayan?

No, I don't think so.

And I thought that it was St. Matthew that predicted this... well, then again, I could be wrong.

EDIT: 13 baktuns, huh... probably because that they thought that 13 was unlucky, like the Christians? They thought that 13 would end the world...

Answer 7

As an opinion; No, the world will not end in 2012.

This is more of a religious belief made upon scientific observations.

Answer 8

NO!
Goddamn, why do people say "The Mayans predicted this and that"? They didn't predict jack squat. Their calendar ends at 2012, not the world.
I believe other idiots like Nostra-dumbass predicted Jesus would come back in 2000......
This just shows that there are people stupid enough to believe this sort of crap.

Answer 9

It didn't predict anything, that's just the year the Mayan calander ends

Their calander was flawed, they didn't have a leap year like us so it had to end sometime.

Answer 10

What will end is the current age and a new age will herad with new set of thinkings, idealogioes, beliefs. A quantun leap may happen at the most at people's consciousness.

Answer 11

I have an idea, lets wait till 2012. Its only 6 years after all.
