Miscalculated!

[Alfera]

mayan calendar begins at 13th August 3114 BC and the period of the cycle is 1.872.000 days year between bc year 1 and ad year 1 must be calculated too
and there are 225 left over days to be calculated

if one year is 365.25 days,
X is the year we are trying to calculate which is not 2012

1.872000= 3114 x 365.25 365.25 X 2 x 225 and we get X = (1,872000 1.137838,5):365.25 = 2010,02464065

and now Y : one cycle of the earth around the sun and if we take end of the calendar as 2010

1.872000 (3114 Y 450) : Y) = 2010 and (1.872000 - 450) : 5124 =Y, Y= 365,25175644 days

and because of that , mayan calendar ends at 13th August 2010 AD

Very well could be.
Lots of people have lots of different ideas on when their calendar ends.
Everyone says that everyone else's math is incorrect.  LoL

So... who to believe? 

[joel1212]

i dont think so

[CFTraveler]

I better throw a big party on my birthday.

I know for a fact we'll never see december 21st 2012.  It will happen before that like a "thief in the night".

If I were going to go with that Bible quote as prophecy, I would argue that it shows that 2012 must not be it, because the metaphor of the Thief in the Night refers to no one, not even Jesus himself, will expect it.  Or know when it's going to be.  So the more people expect it, the less likely it'll be on that year.
Of course, this is provided  the Bible quote is prophecy.

[lonecrow66]

No it was just a quote... I don't take the bible literally.  I just know the event is going to catch everyone with their pants down like 911.  Its been planned that way and it will happen that way.  I just know it.

they didnt calculate the time between 1 bc and 1 ad at all , so who you believe?

[Xanth]

well, also note that 365.25 days is a 'close approximation'.
Assuming that's the value they used in their calculations... over the course of several thousand years, that final number is going to be off.

Maybe.... who knows, you could be right...

But it also seems odd to me that if an error were made, that it would only render the answer off by a couple of years- what would seem far more likely is an error of the sort that misses the actual intended date by centuries. It is also odd that it would make it just a little earlier... as if to say, "You guys don't have as much time left as you thought!"

In the movie Zeitgeist, it mentions that the ancients referred to an Age as being every 2150 years. These rotate backwards around the Zodiac and we are now in the Age of Pisces, which started in the year 0. According to that information, it means that the next Age (Aquarius - and quit singing that song!) is due to start in 2150 AD. Either way, I'm not going to sit around and wait for the end of the world, whether it happens tomorrow or a billion years from now. There is definitely a lot of crap going on right now, and nanotechnology is making such enormous progress. We are advancing in so many ways, and the shadow of the human soul is rearing its ugly head for all the world to see. I don't know how much of this is new, but we are communicating with people on the other side of the world faster than we were ever able to only decades ago. Hopefully China and North Korea will discover (and smoke) pot and loosen up with all those restrictions they have.

[Stillwater]

Haha!

Yeah, except it came from China (among other places), if I recall correctly.

And there certainly is a lot of dis-information about that stuff in the last 70 years...

It certainly is not the cure-all, but it can ease a lot of illnesses, with very few ill effects; and yet we have a burgeoning pharmaceutical industry, putting literally trillions into producing substances that do what they are purported to do quite dubiously, and produce side effects that are worse than what they seek to cure. Not to mention that hemp plants can be made into paper four times as efficiently as trees (and completely renewably), as well yielding oils that are appropriate for textiles. And yet world governments sanction against the one, and applaud the other.

I am not advocating recreational use here, but I am saying people need to think for themselves, and consider on who's behalf certain laws are written, when ill people are told to poison themselves with expensive pharmaceuticals, rather than grow a natural solution for that problem, and others, in their yards. The bottom line is that we have been led to believe that things of value must be industrially manufactured, and cost massive amounts of energy to produce, when it is generally the opposite that is true.

Lol.... rant over....

There is a guy in Canada who makes cannabis oil and has been curing people that have cancer. Its so frustrating to hear about the battle he is fighting with the government. He has lots of documentation to back up his claims but is treated like a criminal.

Find out more by googling Rick Simpson, cannabis oil or Phoenix Tears.

[Stillwater]

Yeah, it is indeed a shame when the only thing stopping a person from potentially curing millions of terminal disease is a small set of laws stating that it is illegal to posess the cure in the first place.

Maybe they should setup a research station in Holland

[Chubysnow]

WOW, I though he was a troll. Good job non-troll-just-types-like-a-troll-man

[G01kur_Kisel]

Some people or researchers are regarding the year 0 as the first year while some start with the actual year 1, so the offset would be a whole year. Now the reason why they chose 2012 and not 13, or 11 is maybe because that date matches so perfectly to the planet alignment with the sun and center of the galaxy. But what does that have to do with anything? nobody knows.

[CFTraveler]

I agree.

[Xanth]

So, even before the date hits... we've already started our excuses? 
"Our calculations were off slightly".  LoL 

[G01kur_Kisel]

Yeah you bet there will be excuses. I can already see it now. Heads up 2020 here we come!
But seriously, this has to be the final frontier of some sort between the super believers versus the super skeptics! after 2013 if nothing happens. Perhaps the skeptics have won. But what you would they really win...?

all in all...it doesn't matter, care less for the energy output that is being hyped around this date. We shall see.
