it's not if you're in a car with him, you've got a 10 hour drive ahead of you and he starts telling you about zodiac signs and the end of the world -_-;;

Oh well i watched about 100 movies about the mayan culture aswell as astrology or conspiracy
the mayans were a very intelligent folk. their pyramids had the same scale as the egyptains but science says these 2 races never had contact. both of these races had a very important connection to the stars. mayan used a very advanced calender to predict sun eclipses and other rare astronomic events. they knew alot about stars. As well as the arabic cultures they had the same signs of stars. they knew there were 12, they knew a year had 12 months. why the mayan calender ending predicts the end of the world?
the calender uses different maths, on 23.12.2012 their calender jumps on 13.0.0.0 0. since 13 is higher then 12 for them it ment an arrival of a new star symbol or a new star.
for the mayan mythology there are 5 apocalypses 4 already happend they happend through animals fire floodings and war however their religion said when the 5th happens gods will come to earth to change the human mind
in my opinion 2012 could be the end of the world as we know it, humans could wake up help eachother create a peaceful earth stop destroying the planet etc. all that stuff humans are way too money orientated for (me included). However there is a way higher chance humanity dies before thath am i right? 
i really hope something like this is the case if not its just another stupid story which will be forgotten very soon. btw ppl i follow alot of conspiracy youtubers i can only recommend that (some actually believe there are stargates in africa or theres another big giant planet (niburu) floating in our system, follow them it will make your day and youll laugh)
alright thats all only on more thing
its a pity the mayan died out, 99% of their written wisdome got burned by the spanish (church) i would die to know what the mayan knew about our world, poetry included.a little ironic is the mayas prediced their own extinct their religion said "white gods will fly over the big sea" ( the spanish settlers on dragon boats, they also knew the year of their arrival)
sry for my bad english enjoy your lifes

People will believe anything. I hate that people are so paranoid

I hear this very often, and the answer is suprisingly simple.
People apply their modern minds towards old civilisations. If you want to build a high building you just build a high building right? People could always construct skyscrapers right?
If you stop and think for a second you realise that the only way to build a high building without modern tools or modern knowledge is by stacking the layers up like with a pyramid. The reason that you find pyramids all over the world is because it was for those people the only way to construct a high building.
If i told you to only use blocks and go as high as you can, a pyramid would take up more blocks but would be infinitely more stable and could go much higher then a straight tower before becoming unstable.
As for the 2012 stuff, i think it's all nonesense, not a shred of it is true. The believers often make very unfair links and twists of logics. You can bend the rules once, but if you continue to bend the rules and then build new rules on those and then you bend them again...well you end up all over the place.
This for example:
"white gods will fly over the big sea"
You explain this as the spanish...but why? They don't mention humans, they mention gods. They say they fly, boats sail. The Mayia would know what a human looks like so they would call them white humans not gods.
Why are you suddenly allowed to make twist and bend these things to fit what you like?
The reality is that people predict the world to end every day. The only reason 2012 is more likely is because of the religion-rule.
No matter how stupid a belief is, if many believe it, it gains credibility.

It only didn't happen because they prayed so hard. They saved us!

All I know i I plan on throwing a huge rave on the 21st. If the world is gonna end I might as well be partying. If it doesn't, heck, a party is a party.

Let's hope that they who buy this kind of nonsense will realize after we hit 2012 and nothing happened, life is great nevertheless. Following something mindlessly never made any feel actually better. I wish I could still be into this kind of thing, and live 2011 like there was no tomorrow. Since it's all going to end anyway. I am happy enough with life as it is right now it seems, and perhaps that's why a bit of jealousy is in place from my side. I do know life offers a lot more than we make of it, and most of us are trapped within the social conditions we grow up in. So seeking for something like the world ending gives some kind of legitimate reason to break free from that in a sense. So I really hope the followers open their eyes up like they did in a way when they wanted to fool themselves by following this 2012 bullcrap. Life is great, trying to see its greatness doesn't have to be hard. But boy are we trying to make it harder.
I am most wary of the irony that would be hitting me if 2012 does turn out to be the end of the world. That would make it actually hard, since the end means it's all gone and stuff. But for ego satisfaction purposes: at least it wouldn't matter to anyone anymore anyway.

I don't know shit about the mayan, but what I have read about the myth of cosmogony & eschatology is that, in those cultures, the "end of the world" (eschatology) is immediatly followed by the cosmogony (the birth of the world), they are linked like the sun and the moon. Which mean that, after the end of the world, the paradise will be for us, just like the judgement day. And then we will defile the paradise again, and walk toward the end of the world again.
I can't explain it how I want because writing in social science demand some kind of rigor that I just don't have in english, and don't want to bother with. But if you are interested, you can read Aspect of the myth, by Mircea Eliade, a very small book and very clear about cosmogony & eschatology.
So all in all, I wish the end of the world to come very soon, so that we can build a better society on the ashes of the old one that is already dying.
|
Your post already lacks rigor in it's very base... mysticism was never a very accurate "science".
|
Pretty sure they didn't predict the world would end. They predicted that their calendar would become inaccurate. (Just like our own calendar needs "leap seconds" etc in addition to the whole leap year concept or it would also suffer the same problem after 1000 years)
|
The end of the world is being predicted to happen every day by all sorts of people. Humans just like this sort of thing too much.
