so the official myan end of time is this december?
or are the months off?
According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Dionysius set the year of Christ's birth as the 753rd year since the founding of Rome. However, this was an impossibility, since the Gospels record Jesus' birth as occurring during the reign of Herod the Great, and thus He could not have been born later than the 750th year from the founding of Rome (15th edition, Vol. 4, p. 580, "Chronology").
Herod's death was recorded by Jewish historian Flavius Josephus and would have fallen in 4 B.C. Therefore, according to the adjusted calculations, Christ's birth took place some four years before the traditional date. Counting forward from 4 B.C. for 2,000 years (one year has to be added because there was no year 0) yields 1996 as the true 2,000th calendar year after Christ's birth. This might prove disappointing to the celebrants of the January 1, 2000, date, but they shouldn't worry too much, since the tide of tradition has usually overwhelmed the facts of history.

Wait a minute though.. I thought the whole thing was astronomical. All the planets are supposed to align in 2012. I thought that was part of the myan thing too.
Our galaxy has a centre which all the stars take millions of years to revolve around, and it is located in the starriest part of the Milky Way, as seen from Earth. On four occasions within the 25,800-year cycle our galactic centre aligns with the sunrise of a solstice or equinox. The last time it occurred was on a fall equinox 6,450 years ago, approximately the dawn of Old World civilisations. On Dec 21, 2012, which is a winter solstice (Northern Hemisphere) this centre will align with our sun once more. Jenkins presents a mass of astrological, monumental and mythological evidence to show the importance of this event for the Maya, and how their calendar runs out on this day for a reason.

This what I mean...

ok you're not crazy
I completely understand what you mean... but somebody would be making a big noise about it with all the prophecies and what not, don't you think?
My guess is they've corrected for it in the 2012 date already because they're going by the planets anyway the gregorain date was arbitrary. They looked at the astronomical date and just gave the corresponding gregorian. Make sense?

The "astronomical" dating system refers to an alternative method of numbering years. It includes the year "0" and eliminates the need for any prefixes or suffixes by attributing the arithmetic sign to the date. Thus, the astronomical date for 2000 CE is simply +2000 or 2000. The astronomical year 0 corresponds to the year 1 BCE, while the astronomical year -1 corresponds to 2 BCE. In general, any given year "n BCE" becomes "-(n-1)" in the astronomical year numbering system. Historians should take care to note the numerical difference of one year between "BCE" dates and astronomical dates.
Another fact many people do not know about, is that Planet X is an inhabited planet. The US government knows this, and are infact in contact with them because this is not just a catastrophic event for us, it is for them as well.
From the description of the vid.
Is it possible we live in a binary solar system with two suns? According to NASA, over 80% of all solar systems have multiple suns and the historical accounts contained in The Kolbrin Bible, suggest it could be Sol's unborn twin. A destructive brown dwarf larger than the planet Jupiter, and known to the ancients as the Destroyer. yowusa.com...
The astronomical year 0 corresponds to the year 1 BCE

The Oort Cloud is 50,000 AU from our sun. Based on an approximate average of the orbital velocities of the planets in our solar system, 60,000 mph, it would take over 10,000 years to reach our sun. That's one way. What would be bringing it back? Also, if traveling nearly light speed, at 1800 years one way it would be 900 times further out than the diameter of our solar system. Again, what would bring it back? The math doesn't add up.

You're right. But your assuming theyhave to start at some point and calculate. They're not.
I think none of that matters.
1.The Myan calendar ends when the planets line up.
2. astronomers know that will happen dec 21 2012
no conversion necessary
make sense?
