Quoting: SickScent It is about the end of a grand cycle. Or, the real Apocalypse...ie, revelation. yep, but this calendar is a aztec one haha The Aztec calendar was the calendar of the Aztec people of Pre-Columbian Mexico. It is one of the Mesoamerican calendars, sharing the basic structure of calendars from throughout ancient Mesoamerica. This calendar is recorded as a carving on the Aztec Calendar Stone currently found in the National Museum of Anthropology and History located within Chapultepec Park, Mexico City. The calendar consisted of a 365 day calendar cycle and a 260 day ritual cycle. These two cycles together formed a 52 year "century", sometimes called the "Calendar Round".The calendric year began with the first appearance of the Pleiades asterism in the east immediately before the dawn light.

GeekOfTheWeek  User ID: 11223926 United States03/09/2012 02:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Doomtards will continue to believe in this until 2013 rolls around without incident. But then they will find some other fairy tale to believe in. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6630717 yeah ok and all of that will happen right after ww3 and the economy collapse thats coming soon Now that part I can believe. I'm more worried about what's happening in our time, than the Maya predictions. Although I do find some truth in the cycles... I love physics. It bonds us eternally, it's what makes our computers work, it's what's in my morning cup of coffee, it's the thing that keeps the universe from vanishing due to lack of belief... |

A calendar made by people that lived thousands years ago is a sham? What is a sham are today's retards that don't know history or know how to interpret stuff. Yeah sure, they predicted the end of the world but not the Spaniards coming....sure. See you Dec. 22, 2012 Where am I saying that a calendar is a prediction, you inbreed? |
| psyoptics User ID: 11578017 United States03/09/2012 03:00 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.scientificamerican.com] Quoting: See Nothing to Worry About 1288297 Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have put out a new video to address false claims about the "Mayan apocalypse," a non-event that some people believe will bring the world to an end on Dec. 21. In the video, which was posted online Wednesday (Mar. 7), Don Yeomans, head of the Near-Earth Objects Program Office at NASA/JPL, explains away many of the most frequently cited doomsday scenarios. Addressing the belief that the calendar used by the ancient Mayan civilization comes to a sudden end in December 2012, and that this will coincide with a cataclysmic, world-ending event, Yeomans said: "Their calendar does not end on December 21, 2012; it's just the end of the cycle and the beginning of a new one. It's just like on December 31, our calendar comes to an end, but a new calendar begins on January 1."... Rest on site. ******* So I imagine all the doomtards will be crushed by this :( Cool story by nasa but here is my question. If its just like our calencar in the fact that it is just to record a cycle then what is the cycle tracking?. We use ours to know when its gonig to get cold/hot when to plant/harvest. What time is this cycle telling us it is? Good question. Way to use the ole noodle. is it this this thread only has 3 videos but this might by part of that cycle Thread: 2012 Galactic Plane Explained? a good video editor can make anyone say anything the editor wants. |

Quoting: SickScent It is about the end of a grand cycle. Or, the real Apocalypse...ie, revelation. ^^^^this here is it's origin Origin: 1125–75; Middle English < Late Latin apocalypsis < Greek apokálypsis revelation, equivalent to apokalýp ( tein ) to uncover, reveal ( apo- apo- + kalýptein to cover, conceal) + -sis -sis the true word's meaning does not mean doom. a good video editor can make anyone say anything the editor wants. |
| psyoptics User ID: 11578017 United States03/09/2012 03:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Some dudes make a calendar to get track of their lives 5000 years ago, and retards today talk about an "Apocalypse". Seriously, where does this crap come from? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12242204 archeologists, dumbass. any ideas as to what the cycle is around? we as the human race have forgot more knowledge over the years then we retained. all we have are relects whit writing we can positively understand today. what a shame. a good video editor can make anyone say anything the editor wants. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 2055580 United States03/09/2012 03:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ******* READ THIS******** That NASA video did piss me off in the fact, that they are down playing everything that is happening around us. I personally don't think that the world is coming to an end, but come on people look around you the weather is changing. 80 something tornadoes in one day, today is hot the next is cold, and many other countless differences that are making people wonder if the Mayans did know something. It might just be a coincidence that the Mayan calendar is ending at this point in time or maybe not. That's for each individual to decide on their own. I can guarantee that if a natural disaster ends up affecting you, that jackass scientist they put in the video is NOT going to be there to help you through it. Just think for a minute, who are your children or family going to turn to if something did happened in your area? |
