end of the world predictions throughout history
Is anyone else scared about 2012?
Or is it just me. There have been so many predictions throughout history that the world would end in 2010. The mayans predicted that it would be doomsday, and astrologers are saying that there will be alot of solar activity that year that would effect earth, AND there I've also heard that astrologers have detected a comet coming towards earth and it would be here in 2012 AND there was a prediction that a comet would hit earth in 2012.
Soooo many 2012 questions, only a few correct answers. The short one - It's all lies.
The details behind 21 December 2012 make no sense at all. The originator of the so-called prophecy studied at the University of Chicago in Arts more than 40 years ago. He was Jose Arguelles then. He now says time is faster than light (whatever that means) and that the way we measure time is harmful to all life on Earth (how does that work?).
He now calls himself Valum Voltan and says he is the re-incarnation of a Mayan priest and lives in New Zealand, last I heard. All this stuff was based on the fact that a Mayan count of days (not really a calendar) runs out of numbers on 21 or 23 December by our calendar. That has as much to do with the Mayan counting system as anything else. The Mayans counted by 20, then by 18s then by 20 again and so on.
The Mayans were pretty fair naked eye astronomers for a stone age people and had enough sense not to predict anything at all, except maybe party time. I reckon they were smarter than Arguelles.
But crazy as Arguelles ideas are, he did not say the world would end on 21 December 2012. All he said was that this would be the beginning of a new era. That was about 20 years ago.
Since then, people who are just as batty, but in a different way have grabbed his ideas and run away with them. Some of them were habitual users of mescalin, LSD or magic mushrooms and wrote down their visions. One based this on his special (mis)interpretation of the I Ching, and when it didn’t quite fit 2012 he fudged it.
Another called Nancy Lieder claimed that aliens had abducted her about 1993 and told her that a planet called X would pass close to the Earth and cause a magnetic pole shift and other damage. That was supposed to happen in 2003. Since it didn't come, she started making up stories of how it was a trial to test the governments of the world and that the planet would appear later. She usually says 2012 as far as I know.
Apart from McKenna and Lieder, others have jumped on the bandwagon and have predicted everything from bees dying to collisions with stray planets. There are supposed to be alignments with the other planets or the centre of the galaxy, both of which will not happen.
I don't know what the astrologers say and I would not believe it anyway, but the astronomers are saying that nothing they know about is heading toward the Earth and that the supposed planet X and Nibiru does not exist, for many solid scientific reasons. But the most obvious one is that if they were to be here in 2012 we could see them by now, probably with binoculars or even the naked eye.. Oops, nothing there.
The people promoting this are vicious liars and only in it for the money. They are trying to sell "survival" supplies, shelters, books, videos and what all, but to do that you have to frighten people first.
