End of Days

I have a new most recent obsession, or should i say interest (not wanting to sound toooo crazy here)

In a nutshell, its about the end of the world.

I came across, quite arbitarily, a known fact that the Mayan Civilization BELIEVED, without the shadow of a doubt, that the world is going to end on a date, by our gregorian reconning of time as Dec 22nd 2012.

Wow !! ............ Isn't that exiting !!

Yes on the outset of things it does sound cooky and off the wall but lemme hit u with some history:

The Mayan people were no arbitary jungle dwellers running around with bows and arrows shooting monkeys. They were a highly developed society with great feats of engineering, architecture, mathematics and best of all astronomy; Some of which are on par with or even surpass that of the Egyptians.

Time was of great importance to the and they developed elaborate calenders that track the sun and stars and other cosmic entities looong before any other civilisation.

Anyway, i don't need to go into all that cuz i'll be writing for pages and pages. Just look it up yourself- back to my obsession (the end of the world).

According to mayan prophecy, on this special date the sun is supposedly supposed to be swallowed temporaily be a great whole which would result in great flooding on earth. yada yada yada.

On Dec 22nd, 2012 represents an extremely close conjunction of the Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point of the Galactic Equator (Equator of the Milky Way) and the Ecliptic (path of the Sun)

What does this mean? I'm not sure i don't fully understand it either, but its supposed to be some kinda intergalatic hoo-ha with great tidal effects on earth and sun spots due to the magnetic interaction between the celestial bodies.

WOW !!!!! .
First of all, how did these ancient ppl even know how to track stars and celestial bodies, and secondly, why would these so intelligent advanced (for their time) civilisation associate this event with the end of the world?

Its interesting

Needless to say every internet clown out there has their own spin on it cluttering up valid information with theories from Aliens to the Rapture, to the descent of Jehovah in a fire cube of fiery fire. (I'm serious)

But its an interesting read nontheless
Do i think that the world is gonna end in 2012?
Does it matter? .......... i could get hit by a bus tomorrow morning

Am i gonna live like the world is gonna end in 2012 ............. absolutely!!
I'm gonna live like the world is gonna end next year!!!

But it would be cool to actually see the world ending though !!! ..... hurray !!
