How will you handle it if nothing happens? I cannot but help but be reminded of the early Christians who had to rethink Christianity after Jesus did not return in their lifetime or the Seventh Day Adventists who waited all day but no Messiah and splintered off afterwards. Will any of you drop the Maya like Milli Vanilli? Will you still turn to Mayan and Meso-American "belief" for guidance?

Personally i dont think it matters what happens...because when people think of one particular they fail to understand the cyclic meaning of the mayan calendar....the mainstream has taken something and turned it into a specific timestamp for an event....The calendar in itself shows that it does not just end....because the cycle starts again....the question is what happens when a cycle ends and a new cycle begins........is it instantaneous or is it transitional.
Will there be a mass suicide and will people who believe that we are the verge of our own destruction all of suddened be going damn it's dec 22nd....i should be ashamed....NAH....people who look at others and try to make them look bad because they belived that something might occur...should actually question their own destinies....the world is in a state of flux...and trying to say that this is it...the 21st has come and gone...therefore all those who thought a apocalyse may have occured are therefore lunatics....That is what is wrong.
To me this is yet another thread to rub things in peoples faces....for some reason to justify ones own ego....Such a lonely life one must lead.....Just look all around you and you will see how the world is crumbling all around us.
IS the world going to end in new Zealand at midnight on the 21st of dec...keeping in mind they are the first to have the day change....I personally think not...but by that same token...there is much turbulance according to the cycle changes of the mayan calendar....but does mean it is instant....I would also think not....so as a person who does staudy the mayan calendar....i have not seen any reference to the the end of the world...but i have see evidence of increased natural disasters occuring during a cycle change in the calendar....a cleansing of the Earth....So does this make 2012ers all wrong because the 22nd comes....In my opinion not at all....why could it be wrong to want to understand what the people of the past actually understood about our future.

The Long Count doesn't count years, months, or anything other than days. So once you can correlate the Long Count to the Gregorian Calendar all you have to do is count the days. 13 baktuns are equivalent to 1,872,000 days. Through the GMT correlation we have found that the Long Count starts counting from August 11, 3114 BCE. 1,872,000 days from August 11, 3114 BCE is December 21, 2012. Leap Years don't enter in to the equation.

This is what Nostradamus believers did after 1999, whose popularity was replaced by the Maya fad. What new ancient wisdom lies in store next? African shaman predictions? Amazon rainforest elders?
