The End Of The World 2012? Let's Take A Look...

The ancient Mayans developed a calender, known as the Long Count Calender, which is based on the number of days that have elapsed since a religious (in this case historical) point of beginning. Because it has the nature of a linear calender, their Long Count Calender was able to be extended either forward or backward in time to refer to any date. The point is that there is a "Great Period" of 13 b'ak'tuns (5125 years) that ends on December 21, 2012.

Now what is interesting is that not only is this the solstice, but it is also approaching (2 weeks later) the point of Perihelion. This is the point in the Earth's orbit where it gets the closest to the sun. Could the additional gravitational pull cause something to occur? Not likely, but combined with other forces, who knows. This closer distance to the sun could make a difference, however, in the event of a solar burst (flare).

There was a pretty big event about 14,000 years ago that froze mammoths in their tracks with food still in their mouths.

You have to consider the possibility that the end that they are referring to is just the beginning of a new age. (when the Bible talks about the "end of the world" it is actually referring to the end of this world age). My area of expertise is in Bible Prophecy and Government Conspiracies, on subjects like "The End Of The World 2012" you need to check out the 2012 Official Countdown site for all of the latest updates and how to prepare for the big event. I've found it to be the best site on this subject.

If the Mayans are in fact referring to a catastrophic end of the world event in December of 2012, just what are the possibilities? Well, they could include the following:

THE SUN - This one is the most likely. Scientists predict that a massive solar flare is long overdue. The kind that could knock us into the stone age by taking out the power grid occurs about every 150 years, and solar activity is expected very high over the next few years.

PLANET X - If there is a "Planet X" returning from its "comet like" orbit, then we could be in trouble. The good news is that it's a million to 1 shot (at most).

POLE SHIFT - This happens every so often (in geological terms), but would this necessarily be a catastrophic event? Again, not likely, it would be more of a nuisance with all of the navigation devices that would have to be re-calibrated.

CRUST SHIFT - This happens on a regular basis. (think earth quakes) However, if it suddenly happened on a massive scale, look out! This already seems to be occurring, and the earth quakes (such as the recent Japan quake) also seem to be more intense and more frequent.

POLITICAL STRIFE - Political upheaval in 2012? I'm politically active so I'm actually looking forward to this one. This could start getting real interesting especially if you've been following all of the New World Order conspiracies.

THE TRIBULATION - I don't want to get preachy, but the sand is almost out of the hourglass on this world age. This is very possible by 2012. Just remember, when you here that HE has returned, it's actually the false one. (this great deception/tribulation must come first)

Again, I would check out the 2012 Official Countdown site to make sure that you'll be prepared. They go into all of these things in a lot more depth.
