Comment RSS2012, December 21 Apocalypse
January 15, 2010 | 3:49 pm | Movies/serials | 9 CommentsThe 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of beliefs which posit that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21 or December 23, 2012, which is said to be the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mayan Long Count calendar. These beliefs may derive in part from archaeoastronomical speculation alternative interpretations of mythology, numerological constructions, or alleged prophecies from extraterrestrial beings.
A New Age interpretation of this transition posits that, during this time, the planet and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era. Conversely, some believe that the 2012 date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe.
Scholars of various stripes have disputed the idea that a catastrophe will happen in 2012, suggesting that predictions of impending doom are found neither in classic Maya accounts nor in contemporary science. Mainstream Mayanist scholars argue that the idea that the Long Count calendar “ends” in 2012 misrepresents Maya history.To the modern Maya, 2012 is largely irrelevant, and classic Maya sources on the subject are scarce and contradictory, suggesting that there was little if any universal agreement among them about what, if anything, the date might mean.
Meanwhile, astronomers and other natural scientists have rejected the apocalyptic forecasts, on the grounds that the anticipated events are precluded by astronomical observations, or are unsubstantiated by the predictions that have been generated from these findings. NASA likens fears about 2012 to those about the Y2K bug in the late 1990s, suggesting that an adequate analysis should stem fears of disaster.

Nice post Med.Keep it up…
Thank you Dekash.
That day has been calculated to be 21st or 23 December 2012. So what can we expect?
I love going over all the unique styles of 12/21/12 mayan prophecy, I believe one satisfactory idea that has come of all of this, even if nothing takes place is that it has opened our minds to the possibility that we may not be here forever and that we need to hold dear the lifespan we have.
A good read no doubt thanks for writing!

Anybody have any updates on this? Desire to know more.
Looking at the current scenario, for me the most likely causes could be-
A nuclear war
A Viral disease Outbreak
A Ploar shift
About Alien invasion and Meteorite striking, you can never say when.. until they are detectably near

Recent Nuclear Crisis in Japan has now been graded 7/7 equalling Chernobyl. Isn’t earthquake and nuclear hazard a dreadful combination. Will it mark the beginning of 2012.
Lets hope not.
