I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice. ... Thanks for noticing.
You throw out numerical nonsense and only those that do not believe in numerology seem to actually bother checking.
Also, 2012 IS NOT ABOUT DOOM! If it is for you, then good luck.

Right, you still are dodging the question my friend. You claimed that other civilizations and groups had also predicted doomsdates. I went back and looked at your OP, nope still doesn't list any actual groups of people. I do believe the whole Mayan civilization used the calenders to go about their lives and not just one nut job in the area.
According to Isaac Asimov's Book of Facts (1979), an Assyrian clay tablet dating to approximately 2800 BC was unearthed bearing the words "Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. There are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end. Bribery and corruption are common." This is one of the earliest examples of the perception of moral decay in society being interpreted as a sign of the imminent end.
The Essenes, a sect of Jewish ascetics with apocalyptic beliefs, may have seen the Jewish revolt against the Romans in 66-70 as the final end-time battle
The Donatists, a North African Christian sect headed by Tyconius, looked forward to the world ending in 380
Unless you count small groups and cults, you really haven't provided anything useful. I could go on and list day after day the trash predictions weather man give out but you will still watch the weather.
Also, 2012 IS NOT ABOUT DOOM! If it is for you, then good luck.

Why do people even give the Mayans credibility?
Have you people forgotten about their culture and beliefs?
We give the Mayans credit because they developed a more accurate calendar then we currently use... and they didn't have any of the technology we have to do it.
There calendar is unbelievably accurate! We still have to add leap seconds and leap years to keep our correct where they didn't have to.
Also their culture and beliefs, the way we view them, is based on a lot of guesswork. A lot of which is now being re-examined and rewritten.
Have you ever been to Chichan Itza? Quite impressive! They designed it so ONLY on the spring equinox I think, the shadow of the sun looks like a serpant which traverses over the pyramid steps. They also gave it acoustic properties where a human clap echos back as a chirping bird. Quite amazing.
There were very intelligent people. Probably more intelligent than you and that's why you should give them a bit of credit.

Nibiru was not depicted by any ancients. The ancients only knew of the planets visible to the eye.
Pole shifts are slow events and have not happened in 200Ma, although there is a disputed case from 84Ma.

. This would explain the worship of the planets as Gods. The Ancients knew a lot about space and the stars than we do not know today, have you ever considered why this is?
And consider the Wholly Mammoths found frozen solid standing up, with fresh flowers in their bellies, the meat fresh enough to eat? This could only be cause by a sudden event, such as a pole shift.
There are sea shells on mountaintops, and cities beneath the seas. Earth has been destroyed before, several times, actually, and it will happen again too. when? No one knows.

I looked at the referenced page and it does not state how the time line was created.
There is one glaring fallacy in the date list though and that is Exodus.
You see the problem is that this provides a date, but there is no mention of large number of Hebrew slaves, a large number of people leaving Egypt, or any evidence of military power lost in any Egyptian records
Another glaring omission is the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the great
i think the only thing glaring is your ignorance.
who said the egyptians built the great pyramid?
they both go into who this timeline was created.
Exodus was only important to the Jews at the time, not the world. You keep using the logic that this should be Egypt-centric. IT IS NOT. it is WORLD CENTRIC.
dont just pull stuff out of your a$$
