The Maya's never predicted anything concrete about 2012. That may have something to do with our ill knowledge about Maya culture: when the Spanish ransacked the land, they burnt literally every Maya book they could find. Only a handful of scriptures survived. And in them, there's not a clue about what happens when the Maya calendar ends.

So what awaits us in 2012 basically is an open question. And as with so many open questions, countless doom preachers, semi-prophets and other crackpots pop up to provide an answer.

The Maya's didn't really believed in endings: their conception of time was circular, with every end being the beginning of something new. So, 2012 shouldn't be an exception.

The Mayans have returned on a their space traveling burrito dildo ship. They entered the earth through a erupting volcano and are now in the core of the earth. Their next move is to plant a bomb that will blow up the world on Friday. It's all said in this video. I just translated it for you.

Well: I wouldn't bet on it.

Also on 21-12-2012, that awesome phenomenon of the Sun sitting in the heart of the Tree of Life? (Tree of Life: the crossing of the galactic equinox and the exact middle of the Milky Way) Well, that happened before. The Sun passes the Tree every 25,800 years. That's a lot of years, but since the Earth exists for an astonishing 4,5 billion years, the Earth survived the `divine event' more than 150,000 times already!

What's more, the last six times the phenomenon occurred, modern humans already walked the planet. Obviously, it didn't have much effect on our lives then.

Nostradamus has predictions going all the way to the year 3797.Besides Nostradamus' hundreds of cryptic, nebulous verses are interpreted any way people want. Not ONE of those so-called predictions ever came true when the prediction was actually made BEFORE the fact. Twisting and distorting any of hundreds of esoteric verses and applying them to any disaster you choose, AFTER the fact, is pure fantasy. It still lives and thrives, due to people's imagination and gullibility. He wrote in a way that makes that possible.

I'm afraid that more people will go crazy or there will be some sort of big terrorist attack on the U.S. It'd make sense, people are all nervous and if something big happened people would think the world is ending and chaos would start.
