Is 2012 The End of the World?

A very bothering question that is yet to be answer: Ist 2012 The End of the World. I first heard about this in 2008 from an AM Radio station. The NASA(National Air and Space Association) in USA confirmed that at the exact cate of December 21, 2012 the earth that we are living in will have a Polar Shift, meaning that the north pole and the south pole will change places as the earth flips in a vertical rotation. This phenomenon coinsides with the ending of an ancient Mayan Calendar in that year of 2012. Mayans are ancient Mesoamerican Civilization that lived millions of years ago.

This Mayan Calendar uses a long-count method that runs for a long period of years, thousands of years actually. To better understand this long-count method of the "Mayan Calendar" I'll give an example: The Roman Calendar that we use starts from January and ends in December, it will then reset back to January for a New Year. In the Mayan Calendar it takes thousands of years to complete a cycle and start another year. I did'nt really research a lot for this so called long count method of this ancient Mayan Calendar since it's so excruciating but according to the datas I gathered this calendar cycle started during the B.C. era and from that period upto 2012 is about 5000+ years I'm not sure though. And according to studies the Mayans were known for for their prophecies about doomsday. Going back to the Polar Shift, many are afraid that the flipting of earth will cause earthquakes, storms, tsunamis and more catastrophic event that they say the end of the world. Imagine the earth rotating from north to south rather that it's usual rotation, who will not freak out on that? But according to research the earths has been having the Polar Shift, some believes that this is the cause of a climate change, since the poles of the earth will shift position, the regions which are equatorial will become temperate. But if the Polar Shift will happened in a fast manner, it is expected to cause some quakes and some doomsday scenario like we see on movies. But taking it to the lighter side, if the world flip, the Philippines could be transferred to a cold region and December 21 is just a few days before Christmas, we could finally experience a White Christmas at least before end of the world hehehe! Joke!

When I heard this news I thought that it is kept secret by NASA to prevent people from panicking that I believe could be a cause of a mass suicide. But my curiosity caused me to do a research on my own and I found out that this issue is widely spread all over the web. In fact Sony Pictures will be releasing a film entitled 2012 which I believe will be out some time in November starring John Cusack. The film is mainly focused on the cataclysm that could happened in the year 2012 and a family's heroic struggle for survival, the film has an official site and here is the direct link 2012. The film also shows an african-american president that portrays Barrack Obama. We normally see in other film about armageddon that one sign that the world will end when a black becomes a president or a balck becomes a Pope, is'nt that some kind of descrimination? associating black leaders as a sign of doomsday? Anyways I saw the movie teaser already and it's thrilling and frightening. The is directed and co-written by Ronal Emmerich, the same person that brought us "Independence Day" and "The Day After Tomorrow". This guy seemes to love doing films about doomsday is'nt he? The Original Soundtrack of 2012 will be sang by American Idol 2009 runner-up Adam Lambert.

But you as an individual, would you believe this strange beliefs from an ancient civilization that lived before Jesus Christ? All I can say is, I still believe in the greatest scripture ever written, The Holy Bible, when JESUS CHRIST came, HE disregarded all other ancient scriptures and prophecies and no other scriptures would beat the power of HIS words. I'm not saying this because I just want to keep mysef calm but because this is my stand about this issue. Let's have faight and let us not be bothered about ancient superstitions that is not a part of a our religion. A scientist said that "do not cancell your appointments after December 21, 2012", his right, after 2012 we'll still see each other and I'm still will be posting a blog enry about "I Survived 2012". And you have to wonder, how accurate is this Mayan Calendar and does this Mayans posseses great powers that some believes in their prophecies? And the long count of this Mayan Calendar is so far the 13th B’ak’tun cycle does it mean that the earth will be doomed for the 13th time? What happened during the first 12 B' ak'tun cycle? Strange.
