All right, I have read about this, I've watched some history channel segments on this, and everything seems to note all the evidence FOR the world ending on 2012. The Mayan calendar ends on December 21st 2012, the Chinese prophecy tool the I Ching (i believe its called) puts the end of the world in the same area. Specific interpretations of the Nostradamus prophecies put the end of the world on the same place. Still, there are two sides to each story, and I want to know the second part.
Now, here is what I've compiled so far as far as the second side. The importance of the day December 21st 2012 is that an astrological alignment will take place that occurs once every 26,000 years or so. I also note that the Mayans show strong evidence of having astrological skills, as do the Chinese and astrology/numerology was thriving in the time of Nostradamus. So I've found a common thread between these 3 sections. Also, once one or two were found that lead to that date, people started looking for that date. There are hundreds of interpretations of the Nostradamus prophecies, but the popular one happens to coincide with that date.
Now, just to cover some bases right now before they derail the topic, humans have been predicting the end of the world pretty much since the beginning. 1000 AD, 1666 AD, Y2K, and more than a handful of others, pick your year.
All right, now here is the end of my little bit here, what does everybody else think? What other tidbits of information do you guys have? Lets get this chat going people.
