absolute.despair Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Im pretty much sick of hearing my friends talk, and reading internet comments about how the world is gonna end. So this thread here I started will hopefully clear things up a bit. Im gonna try and keep this as short as possible cause long posts suck. -The base of all the predictions is the end of the Maya calendar in 2012, which is supposed to mean the end of the world or a period of radical changes. In fact, the end of the Maya calendar is known as the end of the Great Cycle. People find it easy to believe in that theory because Maya civilization is known for advanced writing, mathematics and astronomy. It can seem like they really know what they’re talking about, but the truth is that the end of the Great Cycle is not the end of the world, it’s in fact a great celebration for the Mayas. The astronomer Philip Plait has stated very clearly that the Mayan calendar does not end in 2012 at all, that it is like the odometer on your car, as each section of the odometer reaches 9 and then clicks over to 0, the next number to it starts a new cycle, so that when all the numbers again reach 0 all the way across the odometer - the last number will change from 1 to 2 and the new cycle starts all over again. -Pole shift is a process that roughly takes 5,000 years to complete and doesn’t start on a specific date and time and the real truth is that nobody knows when the next one is due. Planet X or Nibiru as some like to call it is a large hypothetical planet beyond Neptune. Why hypothetical? Because no one ever saw or proved the existence of Planet X. That’s also where the name X comes from; to represent the unknown. A lot of attempts were made to prove the existence of the planet, even by NASA, but without success. 2012 is not the first time Planet X is associated with some sort of prophecy. The last one was in 2003. Nibiru was supposed to pass near earth sometime in June 2003 causing the same catastrophes. Ill stop here for now cause these two "prophecies" are the most common, although I will be more than happy to disprove any of the others if you like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnomeToys Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Yeah but man, people are never wrong about this kind of shit. Remember when the media and everybody kept predicting that planes were going to fall out of the sky and all the nukes would launch themselves because of the Y2K bug? Us few survivors of that horrible incident can never forget and we have to take apocalyptic predictions very seriously now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

absolute.despair Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Zecharia Sitchin Born Baku-Azerbaijan Nationality-American Citizenship-United States Zecharia Sitchin (born 1922) is an author of books promoting an explanation for human origins involving ancient astronauts. Sitchin attributes the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the "Annunaki" (or "Nephilim"), a race of aliens from a planet he calls Nibiru, which he believes to be in an elongated, elliptical orbit in the Earth's own Solar System. He asserts that Sumerian mythology reflects this view, though his speculations are entirely discounted by professional scientists, historians, and archaeologists, who note many problems with his translations of ancient texts and with his understanding of physics. -From Wikipedia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TootsieRoller Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 2012 is the year of Galactic Alignment, the world will probably not end. If anything, everyone will lose electricity and electricity will have to be reinvented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
