12-21-2012 The first and most important point is that none of the various Mayan calendars end on 12-21-2012. The Mayan Long Count calendar rolls from Baktun 12 to Baktun 13 on that day, but it’s not an ending. It goes up to Baktun 19 and then Pictun 1 begins (A Pictun is 20 Baktuns; a Baktun is about 400 years).

For some reason people think the Long Count calendar is very mystical. It’s not. It’s very simple.It’s like an odometer, only in most spots it counts to 20 instead of 10.

It was not a religious calendar. The calendar doesn’t predict anything; it just counts days since the beginning of the world (according to the Mayans, on September 7, 3114 BCE). Not sure who the "they" is who "say the world will end" that you reference in your question.

Modern Mayans don’t use the Long Count anymore; they only use the 260-day sacred calendar--that was/is the religious calendar. The general belief of the Aztecs and Mayans was that the current world would end during a 5 day period in their other civil calendar (the 365-day one). Right now this five day period falls every year at the beginning of April (moves 1 day each leap year)--not anywhere near December 21.

The Aztecs in specific believed that the last day would be 4 Earthquake (which comes around every 260 days in the sacred calendar)--12-21-2012 is 4 Flower. See also my answer to this question on Askville or the hundred or more times I’ve written about this on Yahoo answers. You can also look at my daily Mayan calendar posting on blogger or myspace, my shamanism blog, or my web site, which has a calendar correspondence between the Aztec, Mayan and Gregorian (our) calendars going out to 2054...how could I have done that if it ends in 2012?

So what do I think will happen? Well, any prediction that's based on a falsehood (calendar ends=world ends) is wrong, so right there that tells you nothing will happen....at least not anything based on the Long Count "ending."

A great subject! I had some personal notes on this already that read: End of Mayan calendar 1,872,000 days cycle stops and restarts on Dec 21, 2012. Also in 2012, unusual astronomical alignment, occurs only 30 out of every 26,000 years.

Sun will make its annual crossing of the galactic equator (plane that bisects the Milky Way as it appears in the sky) on the same day as the winter solstice. Naysayers say this will trigger reversal in magnetic fiels of the sun causing it to get 10 to 20 times hotter, which will reverse earth's rotation on its axis and flood its inhabitants. In Mayan cosmology, time proceeds in cycles - The world collapses but then it gets reborn (David Carrusco, prof of Latin Am religions at Harvard).

The Maya believe the same things happens when the sun rises and sets each day. Personally, I'm not putting my money on any such thing as a reversal of the magnetic fields. I think it will just be a lovely day!

We'll know in a few years, won't we? .

I believe things will follow the pattern long established for such predictions. Anticipation, followed by surprise, followed by some mad scrambling which will result in a flurry of claims that the calculations were wrong, that the calendar was mis-interpreted, etc. , and a new date will probably be set. When that one fails, there may even be a third time claimed to be the CORRECT one, but by that time hardly anyone will be paying any attention.

I don't know what will happen on 12/21/20012. But, I don't know what will happen on 12/21/2012. But, I'm almost 100% sure I know what will not happen.

The world will not end on 12/21/2012. It might end before 12/21/2012. I might end after 12/21/2012.

But I'm convinced it will not end on 12/21/2012. He never has and He never will not let anyone steal An interesting side bar (Weaver please forgive me for yet another deviation from the specific intent of the orginal question. ) The wheel within a wheel spoken of in the old testament reminds me of the wheel within a wheel within a wheel within a wheel (4 I was trying for 4 wheels) that the Mayan calendar is based on.

I think if it's God's will, I'll be checking Askville to see if there are any questions I can answer. I don't think one thing will happen. The Mayans didn't know anymore than you or me about when the world will end..

The big misnomer is the end of the Mayan calendar is a star date for the ETs the Mayan learned from and it is their star "cerious B" that will actually come to an end which will make visable to earth by the naked eye, a star that is other wise not viable and only was seen for the first time by Hubble space teliscope though the Mayan knew about and show it on their star charts some 5000 years ago and thats the prof you'all are looking for more over look up and see the show 21Dec2012. Note this may cause a Gama radiation burst which could damage our home planet Earth? Secound note this star system is eaight light years from earth (i think) and cerious B is already a whight dorf so who knowes LOL to all Kenneth .

OOPs better ck that spelling more oftenThe big misnomer is the end of the Mayan calendar is a star date for the ETs the Mayan learned from and it is their star "cereous B" that will actually come to an end which will make visible to earth by the naked eye, a star that is other wise not viable and only was seen for the first time by Hubble space telescope though the Mayan knew about and show it on their star charts some 5000 years ago and that’s the proof you’ all are looking for more over look up and see the show 21Dec2012. Note this may cause a Gamma radiation burst which could damage our home planet Earth? Second note this star system is eight light years from earth (i think) and cereous B is already a white dwarf so who knows LOL to all Kenneth .

The mayan people know as much as we do I think. A new date will come and everything will be just as normal. This is if anything does happen on December 21, 2012.

I think the day will just come and go like all the other days we have. I wish for the best and hope everhing will be okay.. Just stay on God's side.. Believe in him, also remember to take responsibility for yourself.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
