Maya Predicts Our Future

Maya people were masters of mathematics and calendars and they were keeping track of time using three separate calendars. For predictions about the beginning and end of the “world” they used “Long Count” calender. And on December 21st 2012, the Long Count will be at the point zero which Maya predicts as the end of time and beginning of the new world. The Mayas were very accurate in their predictions and they predicted invasions on their soil and the World Wars.

The Mayans were visited before they became great mathematicians and astronomers , by a white man with a long white beard , oddly enough in a row boat , not seen before ! This peculiarity produced a man with a great wealth of wisdom and intelligence , who gave this knowledge freely to the Mayans , who then learnt to advance it . The great wisdom was sent through the America's to the different peoples , like the Incas , Aztecs , Apache , Sioux etc... passed down through generations of course , but their extinction was based on two reasons - 1. Self fulfilling prophecy (always reverse it , you are not animals acting purely on instinct,) and the fact that the Incas and Aztecs , thought that the Conquistadors were the race of the white man with the white beard , who gave them the wisdom , returning to help them further , and with this terrible mistake , let their guards down and got abused and then wiped out !!!

The one who is predicted this,i am damn sure he ,even himself, don't know when he is going to die. world will end when it is decided to, neither a minute before, nor a minute later.so kindly don't burn your blood in fear of death or, end of earth,for, we might die before that happen.

The Mayans stopped writing about the future of the world, because they ran out space! :-) If you think the end of world will be then, please dont waste your money in the bank: Send a cashier money order to me; I know what to do with it and happy trailers! :-)

I think the Mayans were incredible intelligent people but I like to see that the coming of 2012 is more of a social and economic change as opposed to a extinction end.
The world as we know it is going through dramatic change what with political exposure, corruption, economic decline and and uprising to revolution and change.
I do think that we are on the brink of change and we have tension pulling the world in two possible directions:

1. the direction of the freedom fighter and libertarians who want to decide their own destiny. not comfounded by dissolution of civil rights and freedoms.Free from the NWO and the elitest groups in charge.stand against those slave makers AKA the bankers; I mean the fat cats.

2. Global dominance and tyranny. Human rights? what human rights. Being enslaved by the secretist reime that is ready to strike. This is wel descripted in the 1984' G. Orwell book.....oh the future is dark, its uncertain.

Nonetheless, away from my gloomy predictions the revolts of the last couple of weeks in Tunisia and Egypt makes me have a degree of faith that people and starting to wake up and take responsibility of their own country.

Peace out.

I would like to say on this topic, one person commented saying that you should live life to the fullest because this is going to happen, the world will end in december 2012... uhuh.. well you should live life to the fullest anyway because tomorrow, you could be hit by a bus.

This is a reply to Matts very interesting view on things, which i agree with for the most part. You summerised your piece by claiming that this is not a fact and so therefore shouldnt be on this website stated as fact. But, the title of this is, "Maya predicts our future", this is a fact, they did predict the world will change on this certain date. It's not claiming the prediction is correct/fact.

When they Mayans predicted this date as the end of time and the beginning of the new world i believe they were refering to the astrological ties with the "Zodiac Ages". We are currently living in the age of Pisces. In the year 2012 the Age of Pisces will have ended. where a new era, Aquarius, will then begin. It is not necessarily the end of time but it is the end of our 1986.37 year long age (Pisces).

Religion. This is very interesting to me although I am not a believer. It seems logical to me that the purpose behind religion is to provide a means of discipline, for the most part. Without it humans may have evolved into savages, maybe. It is said that death is the ultimate fear for many people, and religion provides comfort for that. We spend our entire lives repeating daily activities, going through the same routines. This provides us with comfort as we are familiar with our surrounding and know what to expect as an outcome from our actions. Death on the other hand is a gateway into the unknown, which in turn causes fear. Predictability isn't a valid element when it comes to death, therefore rendering everything as "unknown." At any rate, everyone has a right to believe in what they want, and I can completely accept that. However, what I can't accept is when religious folks attempt to impose their nonfactual beliefs onto others, as being the only correct way.

Ignorance. No body knows anything. It would be wrong of me to deny "God's" existence (or Allah, Buddha, etc) because I can't prove it, so I have adopted a neutral perspective as it satisfies both possible outcomes. Furthermore, as humans, our understanding of life and purpose is limited to our surroundings, perspectives, and the things which have been around us since birth. That being said, anything mostly outside of our planet that is or seems impossible CAN very well be possible. There is absolutely no evidence to tip the scale towards a definite answer. If there is no proof, you can't label something as impossible. I am referring to theoretical suggestions such as time travel, intelligent life on other planets (btw - the Vatican started looking into the possibility of intelligent life in other parts of the universe. Don't believe me? Google it!), big bang, Mayan predictions, religious beliefs and so on.

End of the world. The Mayans did NOT predict the end of the world. They said our way of life as we know it will change, a new world is to form. We are "entering an age of change and conflict." Yes, this can be "interpreted" as being the end of the world, but it can also mean that humanity will evolve and/or change for the better. There is no concrete evidence yet, but with the recently predicted upcoming solar storms, a lot of new researches have been funded; researches to help understand the sun's immediate effect (not purpose) on our planet. There are studies in progress which suggest a direct relationship between the sun's magnetic waves, Earth's magnetic field, ocean currents, going all the way to human and animal behavior. Now, IF the solar storms come, and IF our planet will reverse its polarity, it is PROBABLE that severe storms will ensue from ocean currents being disrupted, volcanoes will erupt and major earthquakes will take place, best explained as the domino effect. Depending on the potential existence of a magnetic field surrounding each living and breathing organism (see Acupuncture), during a polar field shift, people/animals MAY experience a wide array of things from illness, to disorientation, all the way to the other side of the spectrum like enlightenment, etc. We are already starting to see signs of this with the recent earthquakes, and the volcano which grounded almost all European airlines. We have also reached record breaking prescriptions for anti-depressants, and other behavioral changing medicine.

Conclusion. Whether you accept an all-knowing, all-powerful being as your savior, or whether you believe that humanity is nothing more than an advanced form of bacteria, killing a molecule on the back of a donkey's ass in an alien world, you should at least try to keep an open mind. Understanding that we as an entire species really don't know too much about anything is crucial. Since the stone age, we have continued to advance in more and more fields, understanding how things in our life work. Since, we have mastered many things and continue to do so. If you can't prove something, the only acceptable label for it would be "possible" or "probable". I don't belive in God but I can't argue that he doesn't exist because I have no proof. I do belive 'something' will happen 'around' 12-21-2012 but again, I can't argue the validity of that since I have no proof. This post should not have been labeled as an interesting "fact" because facts require evidence to support what they claim.

I'm not really sure that the world is going to end but I know something it's going to happen. But then again that's my opinion. We all have our own! :3

For one, the mayans reset their calenders every once in a while. December 21, 2012 was just the date they were going to set their long calender again. Also, magnetic shifts aren't uncommon. Every couple thousand years they happen. And anyway, why would a reverse in polarity have any negative effects on Earth?

people say only god knows the time and date of the end but then how did the Mayans know when they would be invaded and killed by the Spanish? and if you say god told them i will laugh

All I want to contribute re: God in all this....I would rather live my life knowing God and accepting His Son and when I pass from this world will be saved. If I don't believe and I'm wrong,my entire eternity will be without God and then it's too late people!!!

WEll, be it polar shifts, end of the world, or great change call it what you will. The truth is change and eveloution is happening, and as our ancestors before us they either made the cut or not. As far as the God fearers are concern it is true no MAN will know the hour of the second coming ie.end of time! As for the science lovers it is true we are made up of energy infact the iron that runs through our viens are the same that the stars contain. On Dec.12,2012 it will not be the end of civilation. Just the end of our egotic, selfcentered, selfish ways. We will become fully aware of what truly is and what isn't. I can go on with many truths but too many are to dense to understand. This I know because my grandparens still speak the ancient language of the Mayans.
