2012, mayan calendar

I was just wondering what people thought about it.
I spent months studying the Mayan calender trying to figure it out.

December 21, 2012
All they foresee is a Great Change which doesn't so much say the world will end, in their teachings it is shown...

that the universe will complete a full-circle and align to rearrange how it was 5,000 years ago and 5,000 years before that.

Quote:
The Great Cycle, lasting 1,872,000 days and equivalent to 5,125.36 years, is but one fifth of the Great Great Cycle, known scientifically as the Great Year or the Platonic Year - the length of the precession of the equinoxes. To use a metaphor from the modern industrial world, on Winter Solstice A.D. 2012 it is as if the Giant Odometer of Humanity on Earth hits 100,000 miles and all the cycles big and small turn over to begin anew. The present world age will end and a new world age will begin.

THE TREES WHO TALKED

We speak to you now
As ones, who like you,
Are much younger than
The Mountains

Sustained by the same Water
And the same Sun
And both blessed to be
In this place of wonder,
We have been asked to tell you
To share and celebrate
This Garden with your kind

The Bear brings you power,
The Deer, protection
We, the Trees, standing silently
In witness, give you trust

The Water comes and goes
The Animals are busy
On their own paths
The Mountains, well,
They have other things to do,
Communing with the very forces
That created the face
Of this Earth

We speak to you now as ones
Whose lives come and go,
Much like yours.
You, however, are affecting
How this Garden grows
And that is why we seek
Your attention

As I see it, the great change could just be a recycling of sorts, or it could be the end of technology as we know it, I don't think it will be so much of a Apocalypse though.

personally I dont believe in that crock about the end of the world in 2012
people been trying 2 predict the end of the world since like time began and how many times were they right...exactly
the mayan calendar im not sure about entirely

The Mayan calendar has predicted a lot of things, predicted Hitler even pronounced his name in the prediction.

My problem with it being the whole End of the world idea is that the Mayan's where very thorough with their predictions, if its going to be the end they would have mentioned mankind vanishing, instead they just say there will be change, much like Obama, except the Mayan's have about a 99% better chance of it.

Yeah, Nostradamus got Hitler's name in his prediction, and even Himmler.

I always liked things like this, call me weird, but I studied the Mayan calendar longer than anything I ever did for classes -_-

I can't wait for 2011 because I am going to get a lot of credit cards and run them up to the LIMIT!

hmm

well the mayan calender didnt specificaly say that the world is going to end, thats just what people comprehended from it. I honestly dont believe that the world is going to end on december 21st 2012, but thats just my opinion!
