What Happens in 2012?

A mysterious book of cryptic prophecies has been discovered at the National Library in Rome, and there is evidence to suggest that it is the final work of the most famous and controversial prophet in the history of the world, Nostradamus. Even more startling than the discovery of the book, though, are the warnings it contains, which were so blasphemous and frightening in their time that they may have been intentionally suppressed until now.

A new History Channel special – LOST BOOK OF NOSTRADAMUS – examines the life’s work of Nostradamus and the evidence and contents of this startling discovery.

The predictions of Nostradamus were in agreement with the scientist of today that the solar system will pass through the galactic plane of the Milky Way galaxy, as the earth enters its 25,800 year precession. When this happens, the gravitational wave, which exist as a flat plane along the equatorial region of the milky way sends this across any passing solar system, including Earth and the Sun, causing earthquakes in both Sun and all the planets. In this region there are broken planets and asteroids that may cause near massive object collision with earth, but also as the solar system passes the equatorial region will the planets, including earth shifts its rotation.

According to Nostradamus, when this passes, whole continents will be under water in a matter of 6-10 hours, where most of Asia will be underwater, but also other coastal regions. The land will sink fast and responsible for most of the destruction, but during this passing the Earth will lose its orbit around the sun, massive earthquakes starts from the polar shifts and gravitational waves bringing on earthquake and sinking of continents.

Nostradamus predicted land sinking very quickly, solar flares, gamma radiation during the passing of the equatorial plane of the Galaxy. This rift is located between the zodiac sign of the Sagittarius and Scorpio. The arrows of the Sagittarius points to the dark rift, which is the gravitational waves emitting from the black hole, and incident which happens every 11,000 years, an event where the drawings of Nostradamus predicted three eclipses before this event to occur.

The culmination of this event is expected to occur similar to the Mayans on 21 December 2012. It should be noted that gravitational waves causes earthquakes both on the Sun and Earth and its frequency increases dramatically as we approach closer to 2012, starting late 1990s. When this happens the Sun experiencing earthquakes sends out massive solar flares to the earth with more frequency and the earth should have experience global cooling, due to the sun spot cycle,which it didn’t because of the frequency of solar flares. As a result global warming will accelerate.

According to Nostradamus, people will experience both extreme fire, heat from global warming, which technically is more like solar system warming, but this gets to the extreme as 2012 approaches, most of the polar ice caps should melt as this time frame approaches, not just rising of water level, but lands can sink or rise as polar shifts event occur. Near massive objects and meteorites may occur due to the weakening of the Van Allen Belts, foreseen by Nostradamus to mentioned. Where people who do not experience flooding, they will experience fire and burning from solar flares and fire, where high areas are risk, and low areas at risk from flooding.

Interestingly, Nostradamus points the entry of the Age of Aquarius, after 21 December 2012. During this period major wars will escalate for resources, according to Nostradamus, between the Christians and the Muslims faith. The Pope is prominent in Nostradamus lost books, but interestingly the three rings on the head of the pope, might have signifies the three rings of Power, that controls most of the world, Washington D.C., City of London, and the Vatican. All three locations have the Egyptian obelisks, and important high level secret society symbolism that they are indeed connected in power, that people called the New World Order, but this power is not shared with the Muslim world, China, or Russia, and hence the war, that some say is the Armageddon.

ROME, Italy – Pope Benedict XVI has seen the controversial movie, “2012″ and he liked it, Vatican sources said Wednesday. “It is as it will be,” the sources quoted the pope as saying.

This is, of course, a joke, reflecting the comments that Pope John Paul II made over Mel Gibson’s movie, “The Passion of The Christ”.

I saw the 2012 movie over the weekend, and as great as some of the special effects were, the whole premise was wrong. Should the world be destroyed on December 21st, 2012, it won’t be a biblical flood that does the job; all signs point to a fiery holocaust.

This movie had such a great opportunity to tell the truth, but obviously the entire population of Earth dying in flames doesn’t have the same “feel-good” to it that remaking the story of Noah’s Ark has. (Spoiler alert – some of the world’s population is saved by modern-day “Arks” but didn’t anyone else notice that John Cusack’s character’s kid was called “Noah”…?) Also, because the Jews and Mel Gibson control Hollywood, of course…

Today I made a 2012 Advent Calendar, with all the dates of note between now and December 12, 2012. I thought I’d share them with you because it made me realize just how close we are! In fact, on Tuesday 8th September 2009 we will be down to 1200 days to go.

Here they are folks:

Also note, only 118 more shopping days until Christmas!

I first heard that the poop was going to hit the proverbial fan a few years back while I was building a website for a new age, naturopathic health company. The owner of the company tried to explain what it was all about, but either she did a terrible job, or I wasn’t open to the idea at the time.

I’m still not entirely convinced that this date in the Mayan calendar is a precursor to some terrible event, and I will explain why shortly. But there is more going on in 2012 than just a Mayan calendar date – there seems to be a convergence of ideal and beliefs, from all corners of the Earth, each indicating that 2012 holds something special for the human race. It’s a great time to be alive!

Ok, so why is 2012 – December 21, 2012 to be exact – a significant date in the Mayan calendar? The Maya civilization is a Mesoamerican civilization, noted for the only known fully developed written language of the pre-Columbian Americas, as well as its spectacular art, monumental architecture, and sophisticated mathematical and astronomical systems. (Thank you, Wikipedia!)

The Mayan calendar – the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar to be exact – was constructed by the Mayans around 250-900 AD. Prior to the Long Count calendar, the Mayans used a number of other calendars to measure time. The Tzolk’in calendar lasted for 260 days and the Haab’ approximated the solar year of 365 days. These were combined to form the “Calendar Round”, a cycle lasting 52 Haab’s (around 52 years, or the approximate length of a generation). Using the Calendar Round was fine if you simply wanted to remember the date of your birthday or significant religious periods, but what about record history? There was no way to record a date older than 52 years.

Up to this point, the Mayan Calendar may have sounded a little archaic – after all, it was possibly based on religious belief, the menstrual cycle, mathematical calculations using the numbers 13 and 20 as the base units and a heavy mix of astrological myth. The solution to a longer calendar could be found in the “Long Count”, a calendar lasting 5126 years!

The Mayan Long Count calendar uses a base unit of 20, and starts at the base year of “0.0.0.0.0″. Each zero goes from 0-19 and each represent a tally of Mayan days. The first day in the Long Count is denoted as 0.0.0.0.1. The 19th day is 0.0.0.0.19, and on the 20th day it goes up one level so we’d have 0.0.0.1.0. This count continues until 0.0.1.0.0 (about one year), 0.1.0.0.0 (about 20 years) and 1.0.0.0.0 (about 400 years).

This is all very interesting, but what has this got to do with the end of the world? The Mayan Prophecy is wholly based on the assumption that something bad is going to happen when the Mayan Long Count calendar runs out. Experts are divided as to when the Long Count ends, but as the Maya used the numbers of 13 and 20 at the root of their numerical systems, the last day could occur on 13.0.0.0.0. When does this happen? Well, 13.0.0.0.0 represents 5126 years and the Long Count started on 0.0.0.0.0, which corresponds to the modern date of August 11th 3114 BC. Some experts believe the Mayan Long Count ends 5126 years later on December 21st, 2012.

The Mayan Doomsday Prophecy is purely based on a calendar which some people believe hasn’t been designed to calculate dates beyond 2012.

Have you seen the problem yet? Each of the columns in this calendar use base 20, but for some reason, not the left column. Why would the calendar stop at 13.0.0.0.0 when the base is 20? Shouldn’t the calendar continue on to 20.0.0.0.0 until the end of the world? Or – and here’s the kicker – wouldn’t it just tick over to 0.0.0.0.0 like every other calendar ever created and start again? Why all this pessimistic doomsday stuff?

Mayan archaeo-astronomers are still debating whether the Long Count is designed to be reset to 0.0.0.0.0 after 13.0.0.0.0, or whether the calendar simply continues to 20.0.0.0.0 (approximately 8000 AD) and then resets. As Karl Kruszelnicki brilliantly writes:

“…when a calendar comes to the end of a cycle, it just rolls over into the next cycle. In our Western society, every year 31 December is followed, not by the End of the World, but by 1 January. So 13.0.0.0.0 in the Mayan calendar will be followed by 0.0.0.0.1 – or good-ol’ 22 December 2012, with only a few shopping days left to Christmas.” – Excerpt from Dr Karl’s “Great Moments in Science”.
