nothing is going to happen

Forgive the philosphy angle here, but, "can nothing really happen"? Won't something happen regardless, even if it is small in nature, something must happen, for nothing to happen, would be extremely important, as that would indeed be something.... jus saying

I am among those who believe that nothing is going to happen, but I have the advantage of being an Anthropology major on my side.

What we all know as 2012 began not with the Maya culture, but with some misguided man who compared our Gregorian calendar to the Maya calendar. This guy got all freaked when he thought that it ended on a specific date. Of course, as anyone who has studied the Maya culture knows, time for them is not linear. Time is cyclical. Therefore the man was just silly because the calendar simply begins again, and the Maya peoples would have had a huge celebration on the occasion... and there may even still be a big celebration... I don't see why you can't ring in the next several thousand year cycle with a big party.

My geography teacher from high school, who I am still in pretty good contact with recently went to Central America on a trip with some kids from school. He said that they encountered some people who claimed to be of Mayan descent, and he told me that they said that nowhere does the Mayan people claim that the world will end, or there will be an apocalypse on December 21, 2012. They just stopped making their calendar. Sure, strange events have been happening (Earthquakes, etc.) but it truly means nothing. If a bunch of people who claim to be of Mayan descent are telling people that what they hear from the media is not true, I'd take their word of Fox News.

Also, isn't everything we know about the Mayan calendar from a single codex, but we have evidence that there were others? If that's the case it seems like a giant jump in logic to assume that this codex had all the information we would ever need to know.

Yes. The Maya calendar is a system of calendars and almanacs used by the Maya civilization of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, and by some modern Maya communities in highland Guatemala and Oaxaca, Mexico.

But... you can find that info on Wikipedia.

OK....... Saying that nothing will happen in2012 is as believable as another poster said a war was going to happen at a 100% in the month of February.

How so? He obviously doesn't mean "nothing" in the sense that everyone and everything everywhere will cease doing things.

He simply means there will be no end of the world, or global disaster at the very least. And it's a perfectly believable statement. Unless, of course, you have some undeniable proof of some future worldwide catastrophe to introduce to us all.

timewave zero is really the only thing I can think of that can give this prophecy any sort of evidence. Even timewave zero isn't scientifically accepted and I'm not even sure if it is evidence because it's one mans theory.

Thef fact that population, knowledge, technology, communications, science and just about everything else is growing and speedng up exponentially is a pretty amazing thing to thinking about. And what will happen when we peak? Is also a pretty interesting question. Maybe we'll just disapear like the egyptians.

But why would you make a date your religion and blindly accept it?

As I have stated before, I am very open minded. I will research this Timewave Zero thing and see what I think of it. Thanks for letting me in on it.

Oh! And I'm pretty sure "Egyptians" still exist to this day, but I know what you meant to say.

Thank you some one who knows what I mean when I say nothing.

there's a huge thread on it right in this forum. I would check it out. It's definitly interesting.

Ok... here is my opinion. I don't believe anything is going to happen to our earth. But the people... Well there will be mass panic for one along possibly more suicides as it gets closer. Then grocery stores will take advantage of us then the gas stations. I have seen the grocery stores in California after an earthquake. The people buy all the water off the shelves the stores could not keep up with it!The thing to do is buy enough food, gas along anything else before everyone freaks out over this topic. We should be prepared for an emergency anyway. I save water in empty bleach bottles and guess what I had to use them one day because they flushed out our fire hydrants, rust was in the water. So be prepared to be takin advantage of. The stores will do it because the people panic and that is what causes most of the problems. The media should be ashamed of themselves ya I know it is the ratings but this causes mass panic along with lives taken over this stuff. Just watch!

You guys want proof that 2012 is real?

The georgia guidestones
Denver international airport
Bill gates ...Seed Vault
The sunspot cycle
The norway spiral----spiral petroglyphs
The NEAT comet
The New World Order
Global Warming, on all of the planets

Asteroids made classifed material
Timewave Zero Theory

Those are the modern day things.

Then we have

The mayan calendar
The egyptians-----The Narmer Plate
The sumerians, and their 10th planet
The I-ching
The Zodiac
The bible ---- Explains the end of times, describes modern day pretty damn good.
The Nazca lines ( depicting norway spiral)
The Hopi Indians
Underwater Cities recently discovered
Various other prophets

The list goes on. Not to mention all the artifacts that have been discovered, that defy all our knowledge of the ancients. Artifacts that look like modern day technology. Artifacts that they have no idea were built because they would have needed advanced tools to build them. There are so many things from history thats makes no sense whatsoever to modern day thinking because we can't grasp the concept that the ancients may have had technology greater than ours. Even today, we still can't lift a single block off the pyramids with a crane. The baghdad battery or the crystal skulls that were built with no tools marks on them at all. The ancients were much smarter than we give them credit. They left us messages saying something that we seem to ignore very easily. Every single ancient civilization had one thing in common. The Zodiac. It is the map of the stars. The 12 major constellation in which the earth precesses through over a 26,000 year period. The ancient egyptians pinpointed the date of aquarius to be on dec 21 2012. They built their pyramids marking the 1/2 marker, of orions belt. The pyramids are aligned perfectly with the sky, and built to last through the ages.... as if they were trying to tell future civilizations about something. Well all of that is due in the year 2012, so if you want to blindly ignore this fact, then go ahead. But do not, say nothing is going to happen on that day. There are too many fingers pointed at it. Choose to ignore it, but do not say nothing is going to happen, it is ignorant. I do not know if they were pointed to the end of the world, or what they were trying to tell us. But they were clearly trying to tell us something of major importance, respect that.

Uh Ok? Once I'm speechless Ok maybe not still not going to give into the hype. All these horrible things that are supposed to happen do we really have the power to stop them? The answer is no there is not a single thing we can do to stop it so... I am going to live my life to the fullest and live it like it is my last day on earth. I will not allow anyone to make me live a life of fear.

And you shoudn't live a life of fear. You're right, there is nothing we can do about it, except maybe hide high up in the mountains, but who really wants to be alive after everything is wiped out? So Live your life like nothing is wrong, and hope that all the ancients were wrong.

I hate the fact to know you can't do anything about this. lolz

So old books and misinterpretations?

So wait, what about those Crystal Skull artifacts? I watched a show about them a while back, an the mayans or whoever created them said that once they were all discovered/put together, it would save Earth/Mankind from destruction.

I think you completely missed the first half of the post you quoted of mine. I did mention a bunch of modern day things.
