well looks like they found more to the calendar this year

Conveniently coincidental. The new calendar is a mayan postponement edict.

Yeah suspiciously like a temporary reprieve or maybe its wishful thinking and another piltdown man.

Its not over till the fat lady sings.

So did they find an extension to the Aztec calendar? Thats the one that worries me.

You've got to understand, TPTB want people to be in fear. They do it through the media. They do it through movies like "2012" and "War of the Worlds." They do it through religion. Why? If people are fearful, they won't see the light of the era to come.

that and people in fear tend to stay in line, obey and stay slaves to the system without question.

if anything happens it will more than likely be a product of what we have done to ourselves and hopefully when it's over, we can get on with living better lives.

I find it a tad odd that they happen to "discover" this...in the year 2012.

Something doesn't sit right with me.

I am glad I am not the only one that noticed that.
I never belived in the 2012 bit but this is just a liitle too odd.
Something is not right with this.

So when does this new calendar end? Muh wah wah wah......

I can't say this enough.

THEY NEVER SAID THAT THE WORLD WAS GOING TO END!

They simply said that this was (supposedly) the end of an age and the beginning of a new one. They said nothing about any kind of apocalypse.

I sorta have that same feeling, amongus!

That's what I was thinking. It's interesting how they just happened to find this as we're pretty much half way through the year.

The extremely significant thing happening this year is the return of the gods the Mayans and Aztecs perceived their spiritual knowledge from. Ask yourself this; could this return be so weird that you would not acknowledge it? It has actually been with us (the western world) since the 1950s, but it's in the year 2012 that more and more people are truly opening their eyes to our roots and the key to our future. The aztecs called it teonanacatl, flesh of the gods.

The gods have returned and are in our midst. The forbidden fruit of knowledge are here to help us help ourselves. Believe me when I say that all answers are within, and love is starting to conquer fear. Help out the gods and yourself by choosing love over fear. The universe is a fractal, and all your actions counts one way or another!

Just spewing my propaganda, have a great day people. Choose love, and you will Illuminate!

The answers are here for those who choose to see. Those who refuse, well, unfortunately for them, they won't be seeing much of anything else either.

They didn't use Leap Years, we do. It should be 2013 by now

you know, I never looked at it like that, but you are right. All the lunar cycles are off, eclipse dates are off, planets are all off, because they didnt figure February's having 29 days every 4 years

For the love of God, the planets could crash because they dont know about leap year.

My God, phone calls have to be made, civilization counts on us getting this info out.

Quickly now, get the president on the horn, he has to know first..........


love all the follow the leader mentality around here, it Novel

the dates may stretch some 7,000 years into the future. These are the first calculations Maya archaeologists have found that seem to tabulate all of these cycles in this way. Although they all involve common multiples of key calendrical and astronomical cycles, the exact significance of these particular spans of time is not known.

Reading comprehension, acquire it.

And the Mayans didn't predict the end of the world. But the end and beginning of a new cycle.

I've come across that before, but wouldn't the people who did the conversion from Mayan dates to our dates have taken that into account?

Look at it this way, at least now we get to see Part 2 of the Hobbit.

sorry - I couldn't resist.

Yeah I read it in the Science dailytoday great that now all the fearmongers can put their mouths shut...

We stay alive people and thats the end of it...

Yea, My father has done that since the 80's with gass prices, "Just you watch it will be 4 dollar a gallon soon" Now that it is hes moved on to saying six.

Doesn't make him right.

On a long enough time frame the survivability for everyone is zero, If we keep saying the end is coming, eventually you will get it right.

Maybe by the time the sun expands in size to swallow the earth, but someone some where would of been right.

Ok Seriously. The calender started in what era of Mankind?

Does it lay out 13 baktuns?

Is is entirely possible the Maya didnt make the thing?

Since when is our inability to comprehend an end mean that there is no end?

Because there is no collective understanding on it means nobody really knows

Can someone show me the arrow on the circle that says "Start Over at Baktun 1"

when did we become such lovers of life rather than lovers of LOVE, so as to imagine, no, the end cannot be now, I am not done living, so it must be later and look this is what that really means!!!

How Narcissistic a point of view!!!

To those saying it's suspicious that they found this now all I have to say is that there is nothing strange about it. References to 13.0.0.0.0 are rare. In fact there is only one reference to it from the entire Classic period and it has nothing to do with the end of the calendar, end of the world, or end of the era. As such most examples of the Long Count do not refer to 13.0.0.0.0. However, I will say that the reason this is getting so much attention is because it is 2012. If it were any other year most people would have never heard of this discovery.

I actually know Bill Saturno----the archaeologist who found this site. I was in Guatemala with him on a tour of Mayan sites.

He's actually a great guy---hilarious, in fact, and not at all stuffy as some archaeloigsts are. He has an amazing sense of humor and is seriously smart.

But, as much as I tried to talk to him about ancient aliens, and some obvious artifacts that looked like space men, etc. he just wouldn't buy it.

At one site, one of the caretakers of the site took me aside, away from the group, and told me that even though the archaeologists would not buy into the alien idea, he, himself believed it, and so did many of his fellow Guatemalans. He gave me a personal tour of the site, pointing out the ruins and glyphs that he believed alluded to the alien theory.

My point here is that no archaeologist is going to find supporting evidence to anything having to do with aliens, the end of the world, etc.

But that doesn't mean it isn't true.

Senseless people and skeptics have blown this whole 2012 thing into a doomsday scenario and I would like any skeptic or believer to show us where 2012 was a 'doomsday'.

Last I checked it was just a marking of another astronomical cycle they had observed. The whole timing of the orbit around the milky way is quite impressive in it self.

Here is a quote from a 'news' site.

"Why would they go into those numbers if the world is going to come to an end this year?" observed Anthony Aveni of Colgate University in New York, an expert on Mayan astronomy. "You could say a number that big at least suggests that time marches on."

Where the bleep are they saying 2012 is the end of the world? Do any of you really believe it will be the end of the human race?
