Apocalypse 2012?

Besides the Yellowstone Supervolcano,(which We should be trying to figure out how to avert erupting, seriously !The last Super Volcano eruption was about 70,000 years ago, and possibly the reason earlier advanced Earth civilizations disappeared) I'm curious if any archeologist/astronomers have researched the possibility that the "end of the world" scenarios that all come up with 2012 as a date happen to be grounded in an ancient astronimical observation concerning a mega-comet that might be returning to Earths' orbital pathway then?...just a thought

who cares if the world ends in 2012? live your life like it was ending tomorrow

2012 will be the year of assimilation. Resistance is futile. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Freedom is irrelevant. Self-determination is irrelevant. Negotiation is irrelevant. You will be assimilated.

2012 isn't the end of the world, it's when we start having x-men powers

Each day could be our last. Life's random that way.
Be fearless, generous and have a good time.
Just keep it simple. That's my outlook.

Our planet could sure use a tap on the human reset button... I hope it's true, for her sake.

to some this thought is comforting which seems bizarre to me.

People fear things like this because they maintain the irrational hope that, somehow, they are going to get out of life alive. Well, we're not.

Whether our lives end in 2012 or 2030, 40, 50 is irrelevant because at some point each of our lives WILL end. I see no value in debating something where the end result is a given no matter what happens.

"No man knows the day."
When I was younger, I always thought the end, or something profound and Earth-changing, was going to come in 2006. I know that we humans are going to be here for a very very long time to come. Very cool picture Jubal. The end of the World fascinate me. I have thought of many different scenarios. I think civilization as we know it may end in a few hundred years very easily. Humans will live on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years to come. There is so little we know about Earth's history and the history of Human life on Earth.

when the planet is ready to update it will do so according to its own timings..not our prophescies..therefore enjoy you life as you can and allow natural processes to flow through you..and learn...we are but tiny things in the ways of the Universe...

I'm non-religious in every way, but I don't believe that humans could ever be as smart as the Mayans, Egyptians, and Nostradamus without some extraterrestrial knowledge. How could those people know the galaxy and exact path of the stars inside out without any advanced technology or prior understanding in the society of the subject?

check out esoteric agenda. its a movie by the guy who made zeitgeist but specifically on 2012, i felt like that explained it the best

I do not agree with setting of time and the idea of a galactic catastrophe. But i do believe that humans will destroy their environment by behavior. I believe that the creating power will stop the destruction of planet earth. Seeing the effect of a huge flood on a world wide scale it is easy to see that some intelligence power beyond our understanding is capable to rearrange and readjust this planet including peoples behavior. As always, faith whatever theory their is are part of our life.

I was thinking that maybe the symbols in the Zodiac, being that they depict ages that last approximately 2150 years could have some significance describing the condition of the earth during those ages. What if the fact that we are in the Age of Pisces and heading into the age of Aquarius in this 21st century have to do with melting, more waters on the surface of the earth; fish and water being poured out.

What if the age of Aquarius is knows as the water bearer because it is the period of time in the 26000 year cycle of the earths precession that the ice melts and the ocean levels rise, that is why they are depicted with symbols of water; fish and water being poured out?

After Aquarius comes Sagittarius, with its bow and hunting. What if that signals a time when humanity is thrust into a new ice age and back tot the hunter gatherer stage or even what we lovingly refer to as the Stone Age, yabba dabba doo?

(Gotta have a sense of humor now)

Just in my lifetime, the end of the world has been predicted dozens of times for dozens of dates, based on prophecies of various kinds - yet we are still here. "End Times" according to kooky interpretations of Revelation (which were coded letters sent to a number of Churches in the East, coded so as to fool the Romans who would read them if they caught the couriers) have been predicted to occur in every single generation's lifetimes over the past two thousand years.

We are simply reaching the point at which the celestial circular calendar has reached its reset position. Nostradamus' predictions are so vague and cryptic that they all can be interpreted and applied to dozens and even hundreds and thousands of events.

On the other hand, we have damaged our planet, our water, our food, our atmosphere, our climate, to such an extent that we will undoubtedly become extinct by the end of the century, but certainly not by December 21, 2012. The only thing that could happen to kill us all off at such an early date would be the explosion of the supervolcano in Yellowstone Park. It has been showing an unprecedented and alarming rate of seismic tremors these past few days.

All prophecies are vague and subject to myriad interpretations - they also can become a sort of meme and push people to do everything to make them come true - self-fulfilling prophecies. People are extraordinarily susceptible to suggestion.
