December 21 2012
Lots of talk going around regarding this date and its significance in the Mayan Calendar.
As some of you may already know the Mayans were highly advanced astronomers and their calendars were way advanced for their time.In fact many of the elements in the calendar we use today arent so unlike what the Mayans were doing a thousand + years ago.
The Mayan calendar abruptly ends on december 21 2012....Why?
Curious to hear what yall think about this date,and its importance or lack thereof

I've read a great deal about that whole thing. The Mayans had a very interesting mythology. Good topic to come back to, but I've got to go rig a fog machine up right now.
The easiest explanation for the calander ending would be: it has to end somewhere. But yeah, it's suppose to be the end of the "Sixth World". I guess we'll see.

Cool topic. I've read quite a bit on this, but frankly haven't reached any conclusions. I'm definitley curious to here what others have to say.

It depends on how you interpret "end".
The ending of their calendar is believed by some to be a "new beginning"
While some take it as the literal end of the world. It is open to interpretation - we may just have to wait and see.

Napoleon predicted it was going to end, and look at all the things he called.

The "End" could happen TODAY!!! Who the hell knows? Mayan Calendar, Nostradomis, Mickey Mouse....etc. It is what it is, and will end when it ends....live it, don't worry about it!

Well, it is an election year. I'll withhold my choice until January 20th of 2009.It depends on how you interpret "end".

Meanwhile, I pick the pizza & beer excuse. Them crazy, partyin' Mayans!

Hing, I think you and I have read many of the same things. Some of the Vedic material, in particular, have been particularly interesting. Good stuff.
