2012 Doomsday Theories
You've probably heard that we are going to experience a 2012 doomsday on
December 21st 2012
and you might be wondering where that specific date comes from. I started looking as soon as I heard it. Let's take a look…
Ancient Predictions and Prophecies
The December 2012 date comes from the
Mayan calendar
. The calendar ends on that date and since the Mayans studied the stars way into the future many people are thinking the date means something.
Mayan scholars try to explain it but even they don't agree. Some claim that it was simply the end of the cycle according to their
long count
methods and that it means nothing. Others claim it will be the end of ages while some expect a great event that will change life as we know it.
Nostradamus 2012
speculations come from the drawings in a controversial lost book. It focuses on the eclipses that were predicted by the Mayans. That is how the year was chosen and those expected events are combined with Nostradamus's other writings that warn of calamities such as famine, plaque, war, and cosmic disasters.
There are many ancient structures and artifacts that seem to refer to
galactic alignment
and the precession of equinoxes. These include Freemason structures and ancient architecture of the Egyptians, the Mayans and others.
There is also a Hopi monument that has drawn attention. It shows a split path which leads to the assumption that we have a choice between living a good life and causing extinction of the human race. This leads to speculations about nuclear war.
When it comes to 2012 doomsday discussions, many refer to
Armageddon prophecies
and
apocalypse
literature.
More Modern Versions of Doomsday 2012
Nowadays, everyone seems to be concerned about nuclear war, terrorism, global warming and so forth. There are also worries about natural disasters such as hurricanes, tsumanis, earthquakes, and
supervolcanoes
. There are concerns about the melting of
ice cores
leading to a cataclysm.
Cosmic events include the
Planet X 2012
collision theory,
geomagnetic reversal
or
pole shifts
, solar flares and
sun spots
, fear of
2012 asteroid
impacts, and of course the
Black Hole 2012
theories.
As always people are fascinated about possible alien invasions due to UFO sightings and mysterious
crop circles
.
