[XMMan 2.0]

I dont know if you guys are aware of the buzz this date has been getting but i thought id go ahead and bring it to CC.

Theres too much info to post on here so ill just be brief in what is supposed to happen that day:

Some say that its when humanity will be at one with the universe and finally be peaceful and harmonius.

Some say its the day ET's make their presence known.

Some say its the day Nibiru will come back around and shake up things on earth

And some say its the day the world comes to an end.

Its about 3 years away but the buzz is only gonna get louder and the History channel has a documentary on the way about what might happen.

but as always, id like the opinions of the good folks at CC

[Icey]

I only heard that it's the day the world ends. Meh, I dont believe in any of this shit. Back when ppl said the world is gonna end in 08...well, we're still here.

File this under the bullshit category.

[DontKnowMe]

wasn't the world suppose to end in 2000?

[Rambo]

not "supposed to" but people thought it would... they thought something would happen on 6/6/06 and when the new millennium hit... and even when we hit 1990 lol... there's a conspiracy about some date in EVERY year... so this comes as no surprise

[Mike82]

WOW! I must've been living under a rock. Other than this one, the only other one I heard about was the whole Y2K scare which really wasn't the end of the world, it just would of meant the meltdown of all the world's computers. I don't think there has been anything like this 2012 phenomenom.

with that being said though, I did find this one video debunking 2012. It's kinda interesting, although I am still worried about all the honeybees dying off...

[Rambo]

so if all the honeybees die off... all the flowers die and we go without honey?

[Young_Jewelz]

I DONT BELIEVE IN THIS 2012 BULL....THERES BEEN MANY TIMES WHERE PEOPLE SAY THE WORLD WILL END SO THATS WHY I DONT BELIEVE THIS....THE WORLD WILL END WHENEVER IT DOES IT MAY END 12/21/12, IT MAY END 2009 SHIT IT MAY END TOFUCKINMORROW WHO KNOWS.....

[55]

yeah, iheard about this... its something to listen to and pay attention too... nw of days who knows whats goin to happen

[Mike82]

so if all the honeybees die off... all the flowers die and we go without honey?

Not quite. The honeybees polinate all the plants, so if they die, the plants die, then the animals that feed off the plants die, then we die.

[Rambo]

they dont polinate all the plants... wind polinates a lot of plants too...

[Mike82]

they dont polinate all the plants... wind polinates a lot of plants too...

True. I was exagerating a bit. Here's a good link to read. It talks about a rapidly growing phenomenom known as CCD or Colony Collapse Disorder. Millions of honeybees are going extinct and no one knows why.

[rell]

they dont polinate all the plants... wind polinates a lot of plants too...

idk man, i must saw a BEE Movie, and they said EVERYTHING would die w/o bees....EVERYTHING!

[Mike82]

idk man, i must saw a BEE Movie, and they said EVERYTHING would die w/o bees....EVERYTHING!

I don't know too much about the whole wind polinating the crops, but my thought is that with bees polinate crops, the wind helps buy spreading the pollen around. If there are no bees to polinate anything in the first place, the wind won't even matter.

More like 2013 by the Aztec calender which is more correct than the ones we are using...

What is the Mayan Calendar?

The Maya calendar is a system of complex and highly developed calendars created by the Maya Civilization of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. This series of calendars, includes a sacred 260-day calendar, called the Tzol'kin, a 365-day calendar called the Haab, and a 52-Haab cycle called the Calendar Round, which synchronised the Tzol'kin and Haab cycles.
The importance of time in the Maya culture

The Maya believed that time was cyclical instead of the western conception of linear time. This means that they thought that time repeated itself, so therefore, if they knew the past they could predict the future. By understanding time, they Maya could gain power over their world.
The Tzol’kin

The Tzol'kin calendar combines twenty day names with thirteen numbers to produce 260 unique days. It was used to determine the time of religious and ceremonial events and for divination.
Divination

The Maya believed that each day of the Tzol’kin had a character that influenced events. The Maya had a shaman-priest, whose name meant day keeper, that read the Tzol’kin to predict the future. When a child was born, the day keeper would interpret the Tzol’kin cycle to predict the baby’s destiny. For example, a child born on the day of Ak’abal was thought to be feminine, wealthy, verbally skillful, and possibly a liar, cheat or complainer. The birthday of Ak’abal was also thought to give the child the ability to communicate with the supernatural world, so he or she might become a priest shaman or a marriage spokesman. In the Maya highlands, babies were even named after the day they were born on.
Origin of the Tzol’kin

The exact origin of the Tzol’kin is not known, but there are several theories. One theory is that the calendar came from mathematical operations based on the numbers thirteen and twenty, which were important numbers to the Maya. The number twenty was the basis of the Maya counting system, taken from the number of human fingers and toes. (See Maya numerals). Thirteen symbolized the number of levels in the Upperworld where gods lived. The numbers multiplied together equal 260. Another theory is that the 260-day period came from the length of human pregnancy. It is postulated that midwives originally developed the calendar to predict babies’ expected birth dates.
The Haab

The Haab was the Maya solar calendar made up of eighteen months of twenty days each and a five day month at the end of the year known as Wayeb or Uayeb that was called "the nameless days." Victoria Bricker estimates that the Haab was first used around 550 B.C.E. with the starting point of the winter solstice. The Haab was the foundation of the agrarian calendar and the month names are based on the seasons and agricultural events. For example the thirteenth month, Mac, may refer to the end of the rainy season and the fourteenth month, Kankin, may refer to ripe crops in the fall.
Wayeb

The five nameless days at the end of the calendar called Wayeb were thought to be a dangerous time. Lynn Foster writes that, "During Wayeb, portals between the mortal realm and the Underworld dissolved. No boundaries prevented the ill-intending deities from causing disasters." To ward off these evil spirits, the Maya had customs and rituals they practiced during Wayeb. For example, people avoided leaving their houses or washing or combing their hair.
The long count calendar

There was also a Long Count calendar which started at [0.0.0.0.0] (with Maya record) on August 11, 3114 BC according to the "Goodman, Martinez-Hernandez, and Thompson" correlation (nicknamed "GMT"), the most widely accepted correlation between the Maya and Gregorian calendar. This cycle is 1,872,000 days in length, terminates on the Winter Solstice of (December 21) AD 2012 and is designated [13.0.0.0.0] or [0.0.0.0.0], since the Maya believed that time is somehow periodical. Another widely-used correlation, that of Lounsbury, correlates the start-day to August 13, 3114 BC and the terminal date to December 23, AD
The end of the world?

The turn of the great cycle is conjectured to have been of great significance to the Maya, but does not necessarily mark the end of the world. According to the Popol Vuh, a sacred book of the Maya, they were living in the fourth world. The Popal Vuh describes the first three worlds that the gods failed in making and the creation of the successful fourth world were men were placed. They Maya believed that the fourth world would end in catastrophe and the fifth and final world would be created that would signal the end of mankind.
The Venus cycle

Another important calendar for the Maya was the Venus cycle. The Maya were excellent astronomers, and could calculate the Venus cycle with only a two-hour margin of error. The Maya were able to achieve such accuracy by careful observation over many years. The Venus cycle was especially important because the Maya believed it was associated with war and used it to divine good times for coronations and war. Maya rulers planned for wars to begin when Venus rose. The Maya also tracked other planet’s movements such as Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter.

Nibiru, to the Babylonians, was the celestial body associated with the god Marduk. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marduk) The name is Akkadian and means 'crossing place' or 'place of transition'. In most Babylonian texts it is identified with the planet Jupiter. In Tablet 5 of the Enuma Elish (http://www.crystalinks.com/babyloniancreation.html) it may be the pole star, which at the time was Thuban (http://www.crystalinks.com/draco.html) or possibly Kochab (Ursa Minor).
The term "Nibiru" comes from the Sumerian cuneiform tablets and writings dating 5,000 years old. The term Nibiru means "Planet of the crossing", and it's cuneiform sign was often a cross, or various winged disc. The Sumerian culture was located in the fertile lands between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, at the southern part of today's Iraq.
Due to its use in opposition to the phrase itebbiru "who used to cross," Landsberger and Kinnier Wilson suggest that it refers to a stationary point in the heavens.1 In a reconstruction of Tablet V of the Enûma Elish by Landsberger and Kinnier Wilson, the word ni-bi-ri (variant: ni-bi-ru and ni-bi-a-na) is translated as "pole star."1 The authors add in the footnotes that "Applied to Marduk, there is no question that in the late periods neberu is a planet, whether Jupiter or Mercury" however for the referenced translation of Tablet V, "pole star" is used.

i tried to read all of c blacks post but my eyes started hurting...

basically though, the calender we use isnt exactly correct since christians changed the calender to coincide with jesus' birth...

0 b.c to whatever a.c...

so if we were goin to speculate on the end of the world according to our modern calender, we would be incorrect...

besides that there hasnt been a decade, even in modern civilazation, that didnt have a year in it that wasnt tied to the end of the world.

i was watching some shit on the history channel and ever since the pilgrams have people been sitting around on a certain day thinking the world was coming to an end.

and before that every religous ancient civilation had a point where theyre "god" was coming to end civilzation...

the only ones who didnt see it coming were the dinosaurs...

[Q-ROCK]

I just hope I'm still alive.
