None, because there is no need to and it's not going to happen in our lifetimes again.
It's a great cosmic cycle.

From information found in fossil records and geological surveys; Science concludes the Earth goes through 'catastrophic change' every 62 million years or so...+/- a million or two.


I suppose the Apophis asteroid thats supposed to end all life on Earth in 2026, or 2036 if it misses us on its first time by.
There seems to be an infatuation, even by those in the scientific community with the end of days. Words like 'catastrophic change' and 'dooms day' seem to sensational and dramatic to fit with rational science. Have you seen all the network shows like, Like after People, Armageddon, take your pick of any one of the 2012 movies or T.V. specials that are available to us now. It seems to me like people are trying to capitalize on a social interest. I bet before 2012 we will see websites and infomercials wanting to sell (for a limited time due to the end of the World looming just ahead) survival packs and life saving tools/information. People will jump to buy this stuff because they are afraid of what they don't know. This very fear of the unknown is all this post and others like it pose. I guess we don't need to worry about the Apophis aseroid though - because according to solar cycles we should ... 'should' be gone by then.

oh boy i can't wait for 2012. you just gave me a great idea of opening my survival-crap business your money won't be any good in 2013 so just dump it into my account people! i'm gonna be rich by the time 2013 comes yay!!!

after all what's +/- a million or two. it WILL be in 2012 because all stars are aligned as they should be hahaha

Even if it were to start with a major extinction event, it would only increase biodiversity on earth. If you look at the big 5 extinction events, you'll note that biodiversity increases with each one. Considerably it seems. In most extinction events I think the human race has a high level of adaptability to a large number of situations that could cause a mass extinction. It doesn't really worry me at all actually, whatever might happen will happen regardless of how well we plan for it.

What I question is the history of life on Earth... The change from the Mesozoic age of reptiles to the age of Mammals. It's as if the curtain was rung down suddenly on a stage where all the leading roles were taken by reptiles, especially dinosaurs, in great numbers and bewildering variety, and rose again immediately to reveal the same setting but an entirely new cast.... a cast in which dinosaurs do not appear at all, other reptiles are supernumeraries and the leading parts are all played by mammals of sorts barley hinted at in the previous act. --- George Simpson commenting against evolutionists.

He seems to disagree that life on Earth would be able to adapt as quickly or as easily as you seem to think.

It is interesting that the science seems to show the mass extinctions happen on cycles of 62My +/- 2My. Regardless of the actual date, I find it hard to explain how the Mayans could come up with very close to the same timeframe of the extinction cycles from their observations of the stars and galaxy. Certainly they weren't around long enough to observe these timeframes themselves, which would leave the acient astronaut (extraterristial) theory standing out above other theories of how they came up with it. It would have to be an advanced space faring civilization to understand and be able to predict solar system cycles with respect to the galaxy and spanning the large timeframe spoken of in the terms we are talking about here. I have a hard time believing any primitive, planet based only, civilization could come up with a calendar based on galactic data. The summer/winter solistice, no worries. And if they were taught by an extraterristial traveler like -Quetzalcoatl (spelling?) was theorized to be, then with the accuracy that has been shown in the Mayan Calendar with respect to solar system events, i.e. eclipses, etc. to this day, then their ending of this cycle 12.21.2012 would carry more weight that they knew more about galactic mechanics than one would assume a primitive civilization should be capable of. After all, our calendar is still not as accurate as the Mayan Calendar was at keeping time, hence the leap year.

I am not stating that we are going to be wiped out in 2012, but having science document seemingly similar timeframes of 62My +/-2My between mass extinctions, just adds a little more weight to their end of the cycle date.

Nice post Chaos!

You offer a perspective that depends entirely on the involvement of UFO's or the influence of some extra terrestrial.

To use this as supporting evidence you not only have to sustain your belief in solar cycles as defined by the Mayans as more accurate then our own but the existence of unverified/unrecognized Alien life. An Alien life that chose the Mayans to have this advanced information, yet let them meet an unsightly end all the same. There are parts in your logic that are missing. The sum of your supposed conclusion do not equal the parts of your formula.

Of what benefit does it bring anyone involved be them the Mayans, a now extinct people or the extra-terrestrial life, one that has never returned, documented or verified to conclude life on Earth ends on 12/21/2012?

Great post my friend.

I agree, this along with a whole host of other information out there does point to 2012 being a VERY IMPORTANT date! I am still doing my research on the topic with all the info (and disinfo) out there. I hope to be finished by 2012 (ha), and have some kind of plan in place, if indeed one can be made to avert or save ones self and family.

I think they are secretly building bunkers to try and save what they can. This is the reason a lot of military sattellites are now pointing at our Sun as I think that's the medium (or way) in which it's going to happen.

The recent films "Knowing" and "2012" are being used both to laugh at us and also provide a blanket of cover for themselves. I believe they have known for "a long time" and also that is where all of the money is dissappearing to. It is why there are adverts on the TV all the time about cashing in GOLD, because they are taking that with them down there, and also probably why they switched the bars in the mint for Platinum ones, as well as stole the collection that was under the WTC.

Mark my words, this event is very close indeed and that is why the world is currently upside down in turmoil.

On another note, take no notice to '___'omino and the likes either, he tried to do the same to my thread and I've read him attempting to do the same to many others. He and others try to do the same to valid threads here unfortunately; replying quickly with no evidence or information to support their comments. Just the usual unsubstantiated garbage such as bringing Y2K up in this thread - it lacks intelligence in even relating that subject to this one IMHO.

Thank You for the information!

Star and Flag!

I have my own opinion of that time and the history behind the date.
There are too many sources from all over the world, too many cultures with overlapping stories, to ignore or simply discount it as useless trash.
Comparing y2k (a manmade error hype) to galactic information, ancient written text, and calendars of long ago humans seems a little arrogant.
Slamming a mind shut, and labeling anyone, whether current human or past human as foolish for either an interest in this subject or for leaving information on the subject, makes sense how?
I think to play into the unknown of it, and become convinced of doom and gloom is a little premature without proof, absolutely.
The eastern hemisphere has a record of a 24 hour night, and the western hemishpere a record of a 24 hour day, so what happened there?
Flood stories are gathered from all over the globe, again, what happened there?
Civilizations with no contact of each other and no optics to see deep space or see earth from space know of precession, stars, the milky way, and record their movements and passages that span thousands and thousands of years, and their calculations are the same, and somehow this is just stupid senseless drivel as its presented to this generation that will be affected by it? I cant see how it can just be made fun of so easily.
If the magnetosphere is compromised, and the solar activity is to increase as science has calculated over the next few years, and precessionally our wobble does have us at an alignment that alows for more gamma penetration, what is the effect?
I think its interesting that the records are so quickly over looked and dismissed, just as much as theyre so quickly turned into prophecies of doom.
Yet I feel certain that something WILL happen, I'm willing to say several things will happen.
One of them wont be a massive influx of intelligence and kindness by osmosis into limited and bitter souls..
Once again Thank you for an informative posting.

Peace.
