2012 Mayan Prophecies and Predictions

By Dan Donaldson

Are you a superstitious person? One who always throws salt over their shoulder, or who will not step on a crack? Well you most likely know all about those 2012 doomsday prophecies already. But are they real; is something going to happen when December 21, 2012 comes around? Or is it all some hype people have made up?

Well first off, it's going to depend on who you ask and what answer you will receive. Many people have bought into this claim. However, many scholars will firmly state that nothing was indicated in the Mayan history about this specific date.

However, with most theories that are so impacting on life, it can be built up. Made to seem worse by people who add on to the tales and spread the story for everyone to see. Yes it's freedom of speech and all that, but programs do seem to add to the theories of what may happen. And they are very popular; they started back in 2006 with the History Channel.

But it was a huge hit, and the idea took off with many other channels running their own programs. So how will the world end? Well there are many different ideas; you've seen movies that even show some. You know those huge killer storms, or volcanoes. Even the idea that the magnetic poles may switch positions on that day.

But with so much of the Mayan history never really being fully understood, you just can't ever really know what the true case is. The best idea is to go on and live your life fully each and every day, no matter what may happen in 2012.

If you seek out those people who are the Maya today and ask them about this, they will tell you nothing. They have no clue what the date means, and are actually more interested in other things. Maybe this idea wasn't even Mayan to begin with.

So in closing, is the prophecy real? Well just think back to the start of the millennium, and how the computers were all supposed to stop working? Right, no problems whatsoever! - 30438
