Not trying to be mean...
but...
what part of
The Mayans didnt chisel 2012 on their calendar... The Mayan calender is based on astrological events not dates... So it doesnt matter what year it is... cos the events the Calendar "predict" is still on course to happen... whatever they may be...
do you not understand?! The Gregorian Calendar and Mayan Calendar are not the same and have nada to do with each other...
You gave a good attempt... should have researched more... always research....

Ok i am just gonna say this once cause yall are not grasping my point lol
en.wikipedia.org...
The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of beliefs that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21, 2012,[1][2][3] which is said to be the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mayan Long Count calendar. Various astronomical alignments and numerological formulae related to this date have been proposed.
And there calender ends 2012 CORRECT?
........................................................
......................................................
But the true date is of the calender is the year 2015 or 2014ish.
The year 2012 was giving by a scholar who translated it...the year 2012 was given based on our calendar.
The mayans calender when they was conquered had no idea of AD or jesus...So why would you think they they had AD590 or when ever they all died off?
They didnt they had there own calender....
The 2012 date was based on our calendar of there predictions...
and that time has past years ago...cause our calendar is wrong.
Do you not see the error yet?
There is no doom on 2012 so give it up lol

Well, I can not say I believe there is going to be total destruction come the 2012 date. But as far as the Mayan people and their meticulous calculations, well I have to agree with the people making a point of the Mayan's astrological use in their observations. I see it as, you can have a length of rope, and no matter where you think it will end, the end of the rope will be the end ( I am talking more along the lines if you connected both ends of the rope, the cycle will begin againat that point. According to the astrological cycles and movements of the celestial bodies that we can currently observe, the Mayan calendar is still on course. But I am not an Astronomer, so don't take my word for it.
NASA has compared fears about 2012 with those about the approaching millennium in the late 1990s, suggesting that an adequate analysis should preclude fears of disaster.[7] None of the proposed alignments or formulas have been accepted by mainstream scholarship.

You can blame Dionysius Exiguus for that blunder. He was a 6th century monk who came up with the idea of redefining the year from the birth of Jesus (AD = Anno Domini) instead of the founding of Rome (AUC = Anno Urbis Condita). He knew that Jesus began His ministry shortly after John began his, in the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius, around 783 AUC. Tiberius began ruling in AD 14, around 768 AUC, and that Jesus was about thirty years old (Luke 3:23) when He began His ministry. That would make Jesus to be born in 753 AUC, which is what Dionysius defined as 1 BC, specifically December 25. The New millennium began a week later, January 1, AD 1. The only problem is that Herod the Great died four years earlier, around 749 AUC. Luke says that Jesus was about 30 years old. Estimates are that Jesus was born anywhere from 6 BC to 4 BC. Jesus probably began His ministry around AD28. He would be anywhere from 31-33 years of age.
en.wikipedia.org...
Dionysius Exiguus (Dennis the Small, Dennis the Little or Dennis the Short, meaning humble) (c. 470 – c. 544) was a sixth century monk born in Scythia Minor, modern Dobruja shared by Romania and Bulgaria. He was a member of the Scythian monks community concentrated in Tomis, the major city of Scythia Minor. Dionysius is best-known as the inventor of the Anno Domini era, which is used to number the years of both the Gregorian calendar and the (Christianized) Julian calendar.
And he screw it up lol
So folks it is really around the year 2015 ....
So the myan calendar of the end of the world at 2012 would have happen3 years ago for us...around 2008 or so.
Just wanting to know how you can still but faith in the world ending predictions of mayans when the world should have ended in 2008 or so.edit on 21-3-2011 by TheAmused because: (no reason given)

Forget the Dates ok it has nothing to do with dates it has to do with cycles that repeat in our galaxy over and over the cycle's have been timed and dates added but regardless of dates there are planets which orbit stars which are in our galaxy which has its own cycles such as the precession and the mayans the egyptians knew ....
