The guy making the calender ran out of space on the rock he was carving... so he stopped.

Maybe that is as far as they could get before the Spaniards wiped them off the face of the earth. They didnt see it coming when the world ended for their civilization long before 2012.

There is supposed to be a solar storm in 2012, happens every 11 years and has nothing to do with the Mayan calendar.
Problem is noone knows how fierce the storm can be and where it will hit. There have been huge solar storms in the past, but the globe wasn't so dependant on electricity. If for example a quarter of the US, EU, China, Middle East gets hit, shit's gonna go down hard.
Just think about it, you can't do anything without electricity, refridgerators are fucked in a couple hours, no communications at all. Most gas pumps are electric so you won't be able to fill up. Food can't be processed or transported, water can't be cleaned and pumped to your house. Not to mention huge businesses and the financial system totally failing.
They say a big hit can cripple the area for as long as it will take to replace transformers and other damaged parts, which could take months or years.

When the Mayan Zombies come, I'm ready for 'em...


...seriously though, the calender doesn't end, it just resets. Just like ours. All the hype is just to sell movies, bad books, and to give the tin-foil-hat wearers something to worry about. Also, it's a government conspiracy.

Or they already hit the 2012 mark for their civilization. Like the for the Jews it's year 5771 or something like that. For Muslims it's 1432.

Calenders are relevant to the beliefs of the society who set up the calender.

The government will create a visualy mind boggling 2nd Coming of Christ, and everyone will go nuts. Like the Norway Spiral. o.O

have you read Behold a Pale Horse?

[pawi30]

No I have not. Just something Farbin posted a while back. Where all these satellite dishes can make pictures in the sky, and control weather. Who knows if its true, but who are we to say the government doesn't have the ability.

2012 is as high as they coul count but I really want (j0oftheworld)this man's fantasy to become a reality. ;)

Lol the planets will never be lined up its impossible

uhm..

[Vedubin01]

solar system has aligned before. I think the last time was in 2000.

You are a bit off!


This 2012 planetary alignment is anticipated by Mayan calendar to occur in a unique manner such that planets get arranged in a linear fashion. The sun will occupy the center of the Milky Way galaxy on 21 December 2012. This arrangement and event will have consequence effect on earth such that all life will get wiped off. This event happens extremely rarely and it was calculated that this will occur once every 25,800 years. The Mayan people believed that celestial event happening on doomsday will have fatal effect and destruct world.
