[RINGS] 20 12 2012

This date appears to be the day before the end of the current Mayan calendar.

Some believe this could be the last day, that the world will end on the 21st.

I think the clue has something to do with this.

Either way, I'm planning a party for that night!

Interesting webpage. Although i don't believe 'the end of the world' will be due to the total destruction of the earth, i found this piece interesting:

Long Count Which Quarter? Year
6.5.0.0.0 Fall 650 B.C.

7.12.0.0.0 Winter 118 B.C.

8.19.0.0.0 Spring 416 A.D.

10.6.0.0.0 Summer 948 A.D.

11.13.0.0.0 Fall 1480 A.D.

13.0.0.0.0 Winter 2012 A.D.

Revelations mentions war will come in Winter. I don't have the answer to why the calendar ends in 2012 and i like to gather all reasoning from all sources before making any assumptions,however, I feel a definate shift coming within the spiritual plane. Most of the answers are found in the stars. I also feel that what you Believe can become the very structure of things to come. we have more power than we realise in that, our every waking moment is created based on how we feel think and see, forcing that into our 3rd dimensional reality. ex - If we believe or a better word would be acknowlege something as 'real' we will in fact create reality from that thought. If something is told to a large group of ppl long enough it can create reality. It's only a theory, but a valid one i feel.

Hm....


Hard to be certain.

This is definitely the day before the end of the Mayan calendar, but what would it be in that long form that Sapphire was talking about?

Maybe something a little more meangingful...maybe something a little less meaningful?.....

Who knows. Not me.

We find Long Count dates in the archeological record beginning with the baktun place value and separated by dots. For example: 6.19.19.0.0 equals 6 baktuns, 19 katuns, 19 tuns, 0 uinals and 0 days. Each baktun has 144000 days, each katun has 7200 days, and so on. If we add up all the values we find that 6.19.19.0.0 indicates a total of 1007640 days have elapsed since the Zero Date of 0.0.0.0.0. The much discussed 13-baktun cycle is completed 1872000 days (13 baktuns) after 0.0.0.0.0. This period of time is the so called Mayan "Great Cycle" of the Long Count and equals 5125.36 years.

But how are we to relate this to a time frame we can understand? How does this Long Count relate to our Gregorian calendar? This problem of correlating Mayan time with "western" time has occupied Mayan scholars since the beginning. The standard question to answer became: what does 0.0.0.0.0 (the Long Count "beginning" point) equal in the Gregorian calendar? When this question is answered, archeological inscriptions can be put into their proper historical context and the end date of the 13-baktun cycle can be calculated. After years of considering data from varied fields such as astronomy, ethnography, archeology and iconography, J. Eric S. Thompson determined that 0.0.0.0.0 correponded to the Julian date 584283, which equals August 11th, 3114 B.C. in our Gregorian calendar. This means that the end date of 13.0.0.0.0, some 5125 years later, is December 21st, 2012 A.D.

I would have liked to returned the Long date value for this date to see what ISP it related to, but unfortunately ISP's have only 4 placeholders....not five.

for example: 255.255.255.0

Perhaps Sapphire has some recommendations?

Perhaps this is the only reason the calendar ends when it does.

thoughts?

mmmm...Looks like it could be computer dating - IP address coding etc...

...Nooo I don't mean 'computer dating' date set into computer binaries etc...

(Had to clear that up b4 the replies started!!)

That link was very interesting. I still have doubts as to wether the end of the world is coming, but I'm sure something will. If not, give us a few more years and we can accomplish this travesty ourselves.

Thats great. Thats the day astrocreep is 44 years old. But then again, I really don't celebrate it formally. Maybe I will in 2012.

Just in case I can't make the party for some unexpected reason, Happy Birthday!
