2012- Mayan Calendar-Nasa-Pole Shift-Sun Storms-Apocalypse

Has anyone heard about the predictions for the year 2012? I’m surprised that no one has posted anything about this yet since the web is loaded with info, theories and predictions regarding the year 2012. I spent about 5 hours researching this on the web, and I read many articles. Some appear to be complete junk, and others are quite interesting, spooky and very compelling. The stuff from the Nasa website is hopefully credible, anyways.

There has been countless theories about all kinds of stuff written over the years. Probably 99.9 percent of these theories have been debunked by science. Science rules. It’s the center of attention when it comes to credibility for anything. Fair enough. But what I have been researching is different. It’s like if for the first time, everyone agrees; 2012 is going to be a very special year.

I don’t know where to begin… So instead of trying to put together an essay about my brief research, I’ll just lay it out in point form. I’m not adding any links because you can just type 2012 as a google search and the result is overwhelming. It’s a true wonder why I have just found out about this because it’s only 4-5 years from now, and because this is way bigger than the Y2K hype.

So here it goes:

-The Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012. (solstice) It is debated by many as to why the Mayans end their calendar on that day. The Mayan astrology also points to a very rare and extremely important alignment of the planets in our planetary system which occurs on the last day of their calendar.

-Nasa concurs with the Mayan calendar because on February 21, 2008, the sun will rise perfectly aligned with the planes of the Milky Way. It coincides exactly with the Mayan prophecy as some call it.

-Nasa predicts that right around that time, the sun will reach what they call solar max as it enters its new cycle.

-Nasa predicts solar storms at about the same time. Some sources claim that the solar storms could reach the earth and cause massive destruction. Currently, the sun is inactive but some magnetic sun spots have been discovered by Nasa in 2007. It’s the calm before the storm as some say.

-Nasa also predicts a possible magnetic pole shift of the earth. This would mean that your good old compass would start pointing south. You can imagine how that would screw things up… Nasa also confirmed and published that the same phenomenon has occurred thousands of years ago.

-In addition to the Mayan and Nasa, Nostradamus’ predictions also point to the same date according to a group of credible scientist and professionals who studied his predictions in the “lost books.”

-Tied with Nostradamus’ predictions and ancient astrology, there exists a thirteenth astrological sign called Ophiucus(google it) which lies between Scorpio and Sagittarius. This astrological body lies at the center of the Milky way and is predicted to be in perfect alignment with the sun on Feb, 21 2012.

-In addition to Nasa, the Mayan calendar, and Nostradamus, Bible code enthusiasts come up with the same conclusions that 2012 is probably the most significant date in history of mankind; Perhaps The Apocalypse.

-In addition to the above, many astrologers and other reputed scientists fear that 2012 is going to bring changes and possibly catastrophes on a scale that has never been seen before. To be fair, I read a lot from naysayers as well.

-In 1983, Nasa published their finding of a new planet in the Milky Way referred to as Planet X or as Nibiru. Soon after, they called it a mistake and have since refused to acknowledge that such planet exists. According to many (countless) other sources on the web, this planet is due to orbit close to Earth in 2012. Some say it, or parts of it, may even collide with the earth and end civilization as we know it. This supposedly coincides with Nostradamus’s predictions as well as the bible code and the Mayan’s prophecy. There is a variety of people who claim that Nasa is now covering the truth about the coming of Nibiru.

Now… All of the above appears to create a lot of movement among scientists, religious groups, Nasa, and of course on the web.

The predictions range from mild climate changes to more common predictions calling for a huge impact on the world as we know it, from mild to mass destruction. The rare alignment of the sun and other planets, and the pole shift will supposedly bring hurricanes, floods, droughts, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc, as predicted by the bible, by the Mayans and by Nostradamus among others.

Another common belief is that the magnetic pole shift will result in great changes for humans, often referred to as an awakening or some such.

It’s all really to much for me. My head is spinning after reading so much about this, but I admit that my naive uneducated self finds it all very spooky.

Please discuss politely.

I just celebrated, around a bonfire and atop a rock outcrop on Guatemala’s magical and spiritual Lake Atitlan, Mayan New Year. So happy Mayan new year to everyone (or ‘hippy’ Mayan new year, as it would appear to be judging by most of those who participated).

The Mayan priest, who starved himself to protect is all from the evil that pervades during the last and shortest (five-day) month of the Mayan year, spoke about the Mayan calendar and assured us all, just before collecting donations, that the world would not end on Dec 21, 2012, but that it would just signal a new beginning. Not sure what that meant. But he did suggest that we all shave and take a shower at this time of rebirth, which wasn’t unwise advice given the audience, and insisted that he would do the same, even going so far as to shave off entirely his own long, bushy, and unkempt whiskers.

Not sure if Nasa has any info on that, nor how true it is. But I will hold back on buying any Xmas pressies until after the 21st, just in case all that holiday hassle would be an unnecessary waste of time and money.

Well, you don’t begin anew unless you end aold.

Here’s something really spooky: If you take this topic (“2012”) and the last topic here on Forumosa about strange unexplained phenomena, which I believe was “crop circles” (not counting stuff like “I will Never Understand the Taiwanese”) and put these two together in a Google search, you’ll get the following page as the first result: 2012 and Crop Formations. Now have a look at the green text underneath the second picture. Do you notice a familiar name? “Straydog”! :astonished: This has to be a sign for something! :wink:

BTW, what happened to the thread about the end of the world / imminent alien invasion we had last year?

It was a few years ago when the planets aligned. All the astrologers were predicting doom. All the astonomers and scientist were saying there was nothing to worry about. The world didn’t end that time.

Source?

What happened to that guy’s eye in the background?

[quote]-Nasa also predicts a possible magnetic pole shift of the earth. This would mean that your good old compass would start pointing south.

There will essentially be no magnetic field for a few hundred years which protects us from solar radiation. There will be a big increase in the cancer rate.

Then you went and ruined it by mentioning Nostradamus who has never predicted anything.

I have also read countless articles/opinions on forums on the subject and have come this concusion. If it happens,it happens. I am prepared to shuck this shell and more on to the next world.

People have been predicting the end of the world since the beginning and it hasn’t happened yet. Maybe you’ll get lucky this time.

Just amazing how all these things will happen in our life time. I’m SO looking forward to it.

My February calendar ends today.

Prepare to meet thy doom.

Lake Atitlan…what a great place! I was there a few years ago. Are you posting for Panajachel or San Pedro la Laguna?

Goddamn. I googled 2012 but did 2112 by mistake. I now have “Weeeee are the preeests, of tha Temple of Syrinx” rattling around in my head.
Thanks a fucking bunch, Nostradamus, you old charlatan.

The last time Jupiter aligned with Mars, I mooned the second house.

After the earth failed to explode during the 1982 planetary alignment, after Edgar C. Whisenant’s book 88 Reasons Why The Rapture Will Be in 1988 turned out to be a dud, after Nostradamus’ “Roy d’Angoulmois” didn’t show up in July 1999, and after Jesus failed to return in 2000, I somehow doubt there will be an apocalypse in 2012.

Nephilim…STARGATES…The Year 2012 and the Return of the Watchers…yeah…thats the ticket…

Lake Atitlan…what a great place! I was there a few years ago. Are you posting for Panajachel or San Pedro la Laguna?[/quote]

Did a little time in each of Panajachel, San Pedro, San Marcos, Jaibalito, and Santa Cruz. Very, very nice. See my pics: http://www.pbase.com/seanmccormack/lake_atitlan

You’d think that the earth’s magnetic field would be responsible for more than just protecting us from radiation, no? Surely, the implications would be a lot greater. If I remember correctly, some people predict that it will even affect the earth’s axxis and cause all kinds of catastrophes, including, yes, a rise in diseases.

I am skeptical because there is just too much to read about this out there. Some of it seems to be quite scientifically oriented and difficult to understand, while a whole lot of it is far fetched stuff such as the return of the Nephilims as shown in Tainan Cowboy’s post. Just do a search for “Nephilim” on YouTube. The videos on the subject are literally unbelievable. Faaaaar fetched. Yet, so many people spend their time writing and studying this stuff.

I’m skeptical, but also spooked a bit, I’ll admit. As for Nostradamus, I’m very skeptical. I mentioned him because it seems like the first time that so many people and scientists agree on something. And also, it’s very interesting that all of this falls on the last day of the Mayan calendar.

A couple things I would like to discuss more specifically is this thirteenth astrological sign called Ophiucus. Had anyone ever heard about this before? The other thing is this prediction that this planet x also called Nibiru is supposed to make a spin around the earth in the next 4-5 years. Some people predict it will be catastrophic, while they claim that Nasa initially announced having spotted the giant planet(1983) but soon after claimed it was a mistake. Has anyone heard anything about that?

[quote]A couple things I would like to discuss more specifically is this thirteenth astrological sign called Ophiucus. Had anyone ever heard about this before?[/quote]Yes, all the signs of the zodiac are about a month off what the astrologists say, and the sun passes through 13 signs, and the planets about 20. It’s not as if astrology needs any more proof to debunk it.

Here’s a list of astrology v fact: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac#Tab … diac_signs
