Why are you posting a really bad scifi story in this thread?
The discussion is about the end of the world.
If you read all of Isaiah, you'd know this wasn't an event that happened in the past, but a future event.
Because of the mutiny, the maintenance cannot be done. The fact that they landed in Peru, left culture there, those people created the Mayan Calendar, the Aztec Calendar and predicted the end of the world in 2012.

The Long Count is primarily a Guatemalan tradition. There are researchers who credit its creation with the Olmecs, but they were primarily in the lowlands of Mexico. It was never used outside of Mexico and Central America, and even then the area it was actually used was pretty small. It has no connection with Peru at all and has no prophecies associated with it.

Actually, Peruvian civilization did not invent the Mayanor Aztec calendars.
Neither calendar predicts the end of the world.
You've really got all of this messed up.
The giant images on the ground have been easily reproduced by people with simple tools.
You are using modern for consumption science as your authority but forget that same authority, does not know what consciousness is, where it comes from, cannot explain the 7 second gap, knows nothing about reincarnation except that there was a study which showed children remembering past lives that was verifiable but since science has no clue whatsoever about any of that important stuff it chooses to turn a blind eye.
In fact modern science begins with the basic premise there is no God
... and that man, particularly men of science are the top of the food chain in all respects.
Anything that doesn't agree with that a priori assumption is thrown out.
There is a city under the water off Cuba, 2200 feet beneath the water. Found by side scan radar. So it was investigated and found that it was undisturbed by earthquake and the geologist who investigated the area said there is no evidence the land sunk.
Well, that throws a fly into the ointment because even if it sunk, as fast as any land mass ever sank anywhere in the world, it would take 30,000 years which means there is a city under the water, older than any other civilization on earth, predating Mesopotamia by over 20 thousand years.
So what do they do/ National Geographic buys the exclusive rights to the story, and it is never mentioned again.
What science cannot explain, that which does not match its world view must be suppressed. Thats not knowledge. Thats something else.
I get emails like this from the galactic mainframe. This in response to a question about the cone head skulls found in South America, How on earth would you ever be able to convince me, that your science is somehow superior to mine, when I understand physics and biology, but your scientists in no way can comprehend my science.
Clearly, I have the good kung fu.

One of the big problems for reincarnation is that the human population is expanding. Who is being reincarnated?
the only people likely to be affected are those who do not have their own personality file in the machine or some other machine.
To understand how things really work, you have to accept that there are things that cannot be tested empirically..
The scientific Baconian method needs empirical testing and so it fails on anything that cannot be reproduced in a test condition.
The Apollo 17 rock that looks like an alien head. I showed the video.

The context of the discussion is a war called the Syro-Ephraimite war, which you probably were not aware of. Historical records put that at 735-732BC.
en.wikipedia.org...
Since bible thumpers point to the events that did happen as confirmation, they attempt to push off the failures as future events. This is a rather poor attempt at saving the bible. You realize that others have claimed that this was figurative. That only weakens the bible. So now there are parts which worked out 2700 years ago and then there are parts. You see Damascus had been part of the campaign that attacked Jerusalem. So the forces came to Damascus and the oracle claims it will be turned into a heap of ruins. The city fell in 732BC and that part of the prophecy is true. But the city was not turned into ruins. So thumpers have been pretending that this is some sort of split prophecy. It's amazing what lengths people go to to protect the failures of the bible.
Now everyone knows that your words mean nothing.

So you make up a lot of stuff. None of it is substantiated. You use current and passe technologies to pretend it is meaningful.

This is just bad pulp fiction writing. This is the sort of writing used in Santa Claus versus the Martians. Actually the movie was better than this.
None of you ramblings has anything to do with the end of the world. Your connection to 2012 is contrived. At least the martians did have a plan to overthrow the world till that meddling Santa and the kids got in the way.

Why do you describe issues using current, actually mostly passe technologies? Is this the end all of technology? Were you continuously trying to upgrade these pulp fiction stories as Steve Jobs came up with new ideas?
So now you mention TV shows. Is that where these bad ideas came from? Was it bad TV scripts? You might want to see Santa Claus vs The Martians to get some better material for your posts.
