What Is Going To Happen On December 21 2012?
Drinking some beers the other night with the boys and this random guy at the bar asked the bartender: “What is going to happen on December 21 2012?” – things got serious pretty fast.
There is undoubtedly a lot of hype about the end of the world, 2012 being the year that it’s going to happen. Before getting into the reasons for all the madness, let me give you some hope and say that one theory is that this 2012 doomsday nonsense is just a marketing ploy for people to cash in.
*If there are any researchers reading this, please comment below to get in touch.
Some people are looking for the true science behind 2012 – others want to know what the Mayan Calendar predicts.
I’ve done the research for you, so let’s briefly touch on each…
The Mayan Calendar
In short, the Mayan civilization came up with the calendar that then became the 365-day per year calendar that we know and use today. The Mayans lived 2-3000 years ago, so they were some smart people.
Again, I’m condensing a LOT of information down into small bits here, so try to stick with me.. especially if you want to know what is going to happen on December 21, 2012.
The Mayan Calendar works in cycles. 365 Days (plus lead years), or 12 months, make up 1 year cycle. On a smaller scale, 24 hours make up 1 day cycle. You get the idea.. So then they have this cycle that lasts every 5,125 years.
Guess what? The end of that 5,125 year-long cycle is December 21, 2012!
Now, you have to keep in mind that this is all based on science and math that the Maya were doing in BC. That could discredit this theory a little. On top of that, the Mayan prediction is based on a “Long Count Calendar” that starts on the “Mayan creation date” of August 11, 3114 BC. Again, the credibility here is hurt since it appears they choose a random date to start their calendar on (it might have some spiritual meaning to them, but it’s still an arbitrary date).
So my theory is that the Mayan calendar doesn’t have enough evidence to predict the end of the world.
