bblankfein Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Hello. I am interested in 2012, notably - the Mayan prophecy about the end of the world 12.21.2012. Many people talk about it now, besides, the movie comes out soon. I'm interested to read something about it. Disclosing this theme. Advise me some articles please. Thank you

Thank you The Mayans made no such prophecy. All that happens with the Mesoamerican Mayan long-count calendar is that the 13th B'ak'tun ends and the 14th B'ak'tun begins. The movie, on the other hand, looks like it'll be usual Roland Emmerich fare: Total fantasy with little care for reality, but rather fun despite that.
Ophiolite Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 What will happen in 2012? London will host a moderately successful Olympics, but people will complain about the weather, the high cost of accomodation and inadequate transport facilities. Meanwhile conspiracy merchants. doomsayers, the intellectually stunted, and those who prey on the foregoing will be searching out the next 'plausible' End-of-the-World scenario. My advice is get in early, identify it quickly and make a packet!
Klaynos Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Have a look in the "Similar Threads" box at the bottom of this page...
ydoaPs Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Nothing. The world ended 3 days ago. If you're reading this, you were left behind.
iNow Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 In 2012, reality will provide us with yet more evidence regarding how wrong prophecies are, and how silly people are for buying into such tripe.
bascule Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 In 2012, reality will provide us with yet more evidence regarding how wrong prophecies are, and how silly people are for buying into such tripe. I wholly buy into the idea that Stone's prediction of "vertical" tasting events will come true.
swansont Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 What will happen in 2012? London will host a moderately successful Olympics, but people will complain about the weather, the high cost of accomodation and inadequate transport facilities. And Jeane Dixon will remain dead.
insane_alien Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 i'll turn a quarter of a century old. hopefully i'll be employed in a chemical engineering firm by then. if not i won't be too happy(although i could be doing something even more enjoyable but i seriously doubt that i'll ever be an astronaut)
John Cuthber Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I predict that a group of people who, in the circumstances ought to say "Oh Shucks! I was wrong" will say "The scriptures have been misunderstood ; the world is meant to end on..." and will set a date at some point between, say, 2012 and 2030. I predict that I will be well and trully pissed off with the olympics because, while I understand that some people like to prove that they are, for example, the fastest runner in the world, I don't understand why they think I should care.

Thank you Wow, you'd think a list of debunked Apocalyptic Predictions a mile long would simply sprout up with a few deft keystrokes but... this all I got. http://www.2think.org/hundredsheep/skeptic/old.shtml

Your country...forces you to watch the Olympics or something? I don't see how them competing in sports impacts you in any way, shape, or form.
insane_alien Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 well its not as if it is a low profile event. the olympics will take up significant space in tv news, newspapers, radio, people will be talking about during the day. its kind of hard to not hear about it due to the vast quantity of coverage.
elas Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Your country...forces you to watch the Olympics or something?I don't see how them competing in sports impacts you in any way, shape, or form. John Cuthber is a Brit. The opening ceremony will be compared with the remarkable last opening ceremony. It's a safe bet (prediction) that all us Brits are in for a huge embarrasment. Our politicians are in charge, we are already in national debt to the tune of £20,000 per person (including children) soon we will add to that the losses on the olympics, it will not just impact on us, it will pound us into the ground.
insane_alien Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 as long as boris johnson is out of their by the time it comes around. i couldn't watch him on the tv at beijing because of embarassment.
D H Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I predict that in 2012 The US will elect a Democrat or Republican as President. A political scandal will take place somewhere in the world. A famous celebrity will die. News agencies will cover this death to death. The year will end on December 31. I will of course accept cash contributions in recognition of these amazing prognostic capabilities.
John Cuthber Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Your country...forces you to watch the Olympics or something?I don't see how them competing in sports impacts you in any way, shape, or form. Do you really not see how cluttering up the 5 terestrial TV chennels with pictures of people running round in circles impacts on me, or did you just not think very hard before you posted that? Anyway I predict that in 2012 Christmass and New year will fall in the same year.
swansont Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 The world will end, but will be replaced by an exact duplicate.
CharonY Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 There will be a single difference, though.
mooeypoo Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Narrator: There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy FTW.
CaptainPanic Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Pinky: "Gee Brain, what do you want to do in 2012?" The Brain: "The same thing we do every year, Pinky—try to take over the world!" (link)

Anyway I predict that in 2012 Christmass and New year will fall in the same year. OH NO!! One week-long event occupying my TV channels!!! Run for the hills!! I mean really. I pretty much hate the Olympics too, but I'm not going to complain about them doing it for a week every four freakin' years. Have some modicum of respect for your fellow humans and their aspirations.
John Cuthber Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 What do you propose to do for the other week? Not to mention the "excitement" of the run-up to it? Have enough respect for my point of view to check the basic facts before deriding it.
A Tripolation Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 When nothing is on TV, I play Halo. I study. I do my homework. Sometimes I get caught up on some intern-ish stuff I'm doing. I watch movies, go out with friends, and if I had a lady-friend, I might spend some time with her. There is a plethora of things going on besides what's on the TV. I'm not saying the converage is ridiculous (it is), I'm saying that you really need to lighten up and let other people show off their life work for one week every four years! Is that too much to ask for?
