Fact Or Fiction: Is December 21, 2012 Our Last Day?
If you have divulged yourself in mass media and pop culture recently, surely you have heard people discussing the end of days slated to occur at the end of 2012. More specifically, Armageddon is to occur on December 21, 2012 and there is supposed evidence to support this. No other date has received the hype that this one has, not even Y2K. When I heard about this date, I needed to read the theories and the evidence for myself. I have compiled a list of the most convincing arguments so that you can answer this question for yourself: 2012 Doomsday Fact or Fiction?
Perhaps the most popular foundation for the 2012 doomsday scenario comes from the Mayan culture. Some have sworn by the calendar their ancient civilization created has predicted other events with precise accuracy. Some even say the Mayans predicted the tragedy on 9/11 through their intricate calendar.
This calendar ends without reason on December 21, 2012, which has left those who have sought wisdom from it stranded. These people among many others feel that it is no coincidence that the calendar ends as it does; that this day must surely be the end of the world.
In roughly 2900 B. C., the I Ching or Book of Change was also credited with an eerie calculation to December of 2012. This came in the form of a graph created using patterns from the I Ching; Terrance McKenna created the graph itself. This graph’s peaks have so far corresponded to various changes in the world; it too mysteriously stops in 2012.
Designed to predict the shifts and patterns of the stock market, the Web Bot is further responsible for fueling these theories of Armageddon. By compiling behavior patterns and discussions, the Bot has been over 90% accurate in maintaining a bead on the market. It has also been an indication of tragedies, as illustrated by its prediction of 9/11. The Bot has suggested a worldwide calamity to occur at the end of 2012.
Some scientists believe, that if all the planets were to line up in a straight line, this would create a huge black hole in the middle of the Milky Way. Oh, did I mention that the Mayans predicted such an event on the last day or their calendar? Or that our scientists believe its going to happen in 2012 too?
But with every prediction is an equal argument to the contrary. For instance, as far as the Mayan calendar is concerned, many knowledgeable people on the Mayan culture believe more that the calendar is simply recycling over at one, and not predicting the end of the world. The Web Bot has been accredited with predicting 9/11, but what most people don’t mention is that the Bot has predicted other major events and disasters that never happened.
So there is no concrete evidence to suggest one way or the other. It all really boils down to what you want to believe. I don’t know what to think, but you have to admit, it gets you at least considering the possibility. No one can tell you whether 2012 is the end but you.
