Slightly confused about the whole Maya 2012.., page 1

I am no expert, but as I understand it it, the Mayans never mentioned '2012' in specific terms.

The 'End date' of 21st december 2012 (a winter solstice) is a translation of their measurement of time into our modern day calendar where it marks the end of their '13th Baktun' or 'final earth age'
Also, it is not just a date with no special meaning in today's terms - this is the date of the 'galactic alignment' which happens only once every 26,000 years, and (again, I am led to believe) this coming planetary alignment is scientific fact.

But I am a newbie too, so this is only my interpretation.

I just went to wikipedia to try to help answer your question. Man, does it go deep. I would have to research this subject thoroughly to develop my own understanding. And to bring this up as a topic to be discussed in here, you may not get the firm understanding you were looking for. This topic is very complex. I will continue to stick to the basics...they developed a calendar that was so far ahead of their time (3372 BC), that some of the most intelligent minds in our time are boggled. They can tell us about the dynamics of the calendar and that the calendar ends in 2012. Oh and that the Mayans were responsible for its making and that they mysteriously disappeared. I know our current calendar does not synchronize with the Mayan calendar and maybe that's where some of the confusion is coming from. The Mayan calendar was developed before our current calendar.
Sorry I didn't help you answer your question. Just wanted to point out its complexity before we got into a deep deep discussion.

This covers it pretty well.

This video by Ian Lungold explains the Mayan calendar as cycles of conciousness.

There are 4 great cycles, and we are at the end of the 4th one, so the calendar resets back to 0.0.0.0.0

What's funny to me is I have recently stumbled upon the "Timewave zero" theory and it also has a cycle of "time" which goes to 0 in 2012.

The Galactic Alignment occurs only once every 26,000 years, and was what the ancient Maya were pointing to with the 2012 end-date of their Long Count calendar.

I've read that the last Galactic Alignment 26k years ago brought on the Ice Age.

The Mayans, in my opinion, are like Nostradamus - way too accurate to discredit.

actually it isnt based off the calander... that is when it ends yea because that is the end of the cycle of the earth....there is proof of a planet orbiting about 3300 years ago and hitting the earth, thus creating our continents. It is suppose to hit every 3300 years and dec 21, 2012 is that day
