Consider it a sign. The world is coming to an end. |

great post, i just had a question about this bit.
wiki tells me that
| quote: |
The hieroglyph for Sothis features a star and a triangle. Sothis was identified with the great goddess Isis, who formed a part of a trinity with her husband Osiris and their son Horus, while the 70-day period symbolised the passing of Isis and Osiris through the duat (Egyptian underworld). |
doesn't the hieroglyph kinda suggest they didn't know there were two stars? my ancient egyptian is a bit rough, but 1 star and a 3 sided shape don't scream 'bi' to me (shutup stu). i get the whole 'trip thru the underworld thing', but i'd like a little bit more to go on if you have more information (yes i did look before asking but i am also lazy). |

ing ****s stealing precious posts from MY 2012 thread! All of you go there, and boost my ego- "yes, i started a worthwhile thread, mmmmm" :gsmile:
anyway, there is 0... in fact, MINUS amounts of proof of 2012, its a ing science fiction story, same people believing this are the ones who thought the da vinci code was real.
Even ing Mayan scholars don't believe in this absolute wank.
you have to be a naive, self-centered retard to think that just because in YOUR LIFETIME things have been happening more recently than when you were a child that all of a sudden the world is coming to an end.
the world has existed for what, millions, or billions of years?? but yes, its all going to end really neatly and cleanly next year. makes total sense right?? :whip: :whip: :whip: |

| The most important question still is whether the world will end with a bang or a whimper. |

2012 ...starting to look more real that 'what' exactly?
The problem with the majority of the human race is that they're too pin-headed to get even the slightest fundamental grasp of the history of both the planet and human civilisation. Soon as some slightly exotic and interesting topic gets thrown their way with a little 'artistic interpretation' on the subject it appeals to some peoples inquisitive and fearful natures, then they lose all subjectivity. |

And this not a "omg look what happened in Japan and the whole world is going to " and so on and so forth.
This is a very simple and realistic view...
First we had the massive Chile earthquake last year. Then there was the New Zealand earthquake not long ago. Now Japan. These countries are all around the Pacific Ring of Fire.
The Mayans predicted 2012. The Mayans were based in Central America....Nicaragua, Honduras, Belize,etc...All countries around the ring of fire as well.
I think that the level of activity of these tectonic plates is multiplying very rapidly and could very well result in a calamitous event of unseen proportions sometime at the end of 2012.
If the fact that the Mayan calendar ended in 2012 is at all an indication of the world coming to an end...well the Mayans knew a lot but I don't think they knew how much bigger the world was beyond their geographical concentration. So 2012 could essentially be the end of their world, specific to their geography.
I hope I'm making sense here. I'm sure others have said this too. But I just feel like the tectonic activity in the region is going to keep increasing and something be will happen soon. I guess the hope is that such an event would not affect the entire planet. It probably would though....because flooding and earthquakes in one part of the world could mean disasters entirely different in nature in other parts.
Anyway, discuss, and let me know if I'm simply repeating a thought echoed by many others. I guess basically what I'm saying is that if 2012 predictions are true, it doesn't literally mean end of the world, but something really really bad happening in that geographic region (which happens to be like 1/2 of the world anyway). |
You ate a lot of paint as a child, didn't you? :( |

I don't get this Mayan thing. It's possible (although extremely unlikely) that the world will end in 2012, although we'd have to define "end of the world" more precisely... but why on Earth do people give it more credence because the ing Mayan calender ends? What the did the Mayans know that raises them above the level of other superstitious thousand-year-old civilisations? |
Nothing except their calander has and is the most precious calender ever, predicting solar ecplises thousands of years in the future. I think it is only a minute off from the time we use now. Something a long those lines.
Edit: It does not predict catastrophes ! Only the movement of the star and planets according to time which is great in it's own right since they are such an old culture. |
