As ‘Mayan Apocalypse’ Date Nears, Panic Spreads

As the Mayan Apocalypse date nears, panic is spreading as to what will happen on December 21. Millions of Americans believe that the world will end, while others believe that the date will mark a time of change to a new age.

December 21 marks both the Winter Solstice and the conclusion of the 5,125-year “Long Count” Mayan calendar, reports The Telegraph.

With the conclusion of the calendar, millions believe that the world will also end — or there will at least be some massive cataclysmic event that requires candles and other essentials.

While the panic over the nearing Mayan Apocalypse has caused several in China and Russia to rush for supplies, the supposed impending catastrophe has caused an explosion in survival shelter sales in America, along with a mass exodus to a mountain in France.

While the precise circumstance that will lead to Armageddon remains uncertain there are theories of anything from a celestial collision between Earth and an unseen planet or asteroid (some believe it will be Nibiru, or Planet X), or even a massive solar storm, astronomers have done their best to soothe fears.

Despite the attempts by astronomers and governments to dissuade the public’s assumption that the Mayan Apocalypse will happen, millions still think that something will happen on December 21. Janet Shan with The Hinterland Gazette is more skeptical. Shan writes:

“Doomsdayers are predicting a cataclysmic end of the Earth. Well, no use shopping until you drop for Christmas, right? Sorry, I scarcely believe this will be the end of the world. Just saying.”

While the rest of the world panics about the potential for a Mayan Apocalypse, residents in Mexico, where the ancient Mayan civilization lived, have taken the time as an opportunity for making money. The country has hundreds of Maya-themed events this year and tourism is said to have doubled in 2012, especially in the days left.

Do you think that the Mayan Apocalypse will happen on December 21?

  1. The picture shown on the article is actually the Aztec calendar, not Mayan! Might want to get your sources straight!

  2. People! Wake up, end of the world will not, if it happens, we did not know, the little boy invented a site kalabashki_net and wants to collect a million to a new year and a half a million to give the last one who would make a contribution, I made a contribution, and I do not care, going to last or not , but a dollar is not much, somebody will be happy in this world.

    It says in the Bible that the Lord will only know the Time and the day that the Whole word will End.And that nobody will know the time or the place when the time will finally come.

  4. The media is creating a tempest in a teacup. The reason the Mayan calendar ended on December 21 have 3 posible reasons: A) the maker of the calendar died…of boredom B) His job got outsourced C) He got laid off.

  5. I'll go with B.

  6. were all going to die this month! ah!

    The end of the world would sure get me off the hook on those mortgage payments.

  25. Yeah, and everyone said the same thing about Y2K. Wasn't the world also supposed to end May 21 of last year? What about Haley's comet and the rapture and six other things that were supposed to end the world. The bible? Don't get me started on that pile of garbage!

  26. No , I don't think it will end. Remember Y2K? and how people were in a big panic over that saying that the world was going to end then, and it didn't. Two things we all must remember: First, the Mayan Prophecy if you want to call it that, never said the world was going to end, we in the Western world take things way out of context. The Mayans said it would be a time of Enlightenment, which is signified at then end of every Long count, Armageddon was never mentioned.
    Second, no one and I mean no one other than the man upstairs can predict if or when the world will end, it says right in the bible and I'm not a very religious person, but even I know that!

  27. Not gonna happen!

    The Bible says: Nobdy would know when it's coming! The people who believes in Bible saying no one knows except that only God would know when is the second coming has nothing to worry about. Because that day will not come because people predicted it! God is the one who knows it! not people!!!!!

    When our calendar ends we don't have some cataclysmic ending unless you call waking up with a hangover January 1 as a cataclysmic ending to the previous night. If the Mayans were such great predictors, why didn't they see the Spanish come?

    What everyone is forgetting is that we changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. That date "Dec. 21" was in the old calendar and actually occured in November. We are past that and guess what? The world dind't end.

  46. The fact is no on really knows what is going to happen. Not even the top scientists can say. but what they DO know for certain is that our galaxy will perfectly align with with the Super Massive Blackhole somewhere in the Universe. But they really don't know what may happen because of this event.

  52. Yeah, fishbone. The Bible also says God forbids us to eat rabbits or shellfish, and that menstruating women make everything they touch unclean, and that you can't wear clothing made of more than one material, and an endless list of other stupidities. It's garbage.

    I guess the mayans got a little busy when the spaniards arrived, they say we'll finish it later…nobody will notice…

  54. Yeah, something will happen on December 21st,, the sun will rise, the sun will set, the moon will rise, and the moon will set. Personally, think the mayans just got tired of doing a calendar on stone tablets thousands of years ahead of time. They were also probably on the lunar calendar as well, so there may need to be an adjustment. If an asteroid was going to hit the earth, I am pretty sure we have the technology to predict that a week ahead of time. I have yet to hear a weather report saying an asteroid will wipe out the earth in the next 7 days.

  55. Xiana Fontno — we don't know that for a fact. In any case, it's still not a Mayan calendar, thus irrelevant as an illustration of this article.

  68. Well if we're entering a New Age, let's hope it's one of peace and goodwill for a change.

  69. My Aztec is a little rusty…but I think it say vote Democrat and stop Global Warming. Guess they did not buy that load of crap back then either!

  70. I've come to truly hate some "reporting" that goes on out there. Is panic really spreading? Are there really "millions" of Americans who believe this? All I've ever seen or read is people making jokes about it.

    1st. the mayan prophesy doesn't say the world will end, it says it will change. whered all this world ending talk come from.

    2nd. the maya calender doesn't exactly line up with ours (they didn't account for leap years).

    3rd. according to the Bible, a much more reliable source, the world will also change (2nd coming), but there's still some events which must happen first.

    4th. it's likely something will happen, or begin at this time (maybe HAARP, a world war, etc) cause the powers that be/illuminati have hyped up this date too much for nothing to happen.

    As many, many believe, the mayans were transported away by alien spacecraft. Many also believe that December 21st is the date that they return to earth. Not the end of the world.

  80. Blah, blah, blah, all you religious freaks are the same. When someone says something just go and see how you can equate what was written in the bible to make your little reality world where you feel safe and everything is in a neat little box. Don't fix your screendoor on a Sunday because you know God rested on the 7th day. In fact, don't fix it at all. Just let everyone else live their life while you look to your book for all the answers.

  81. Go to a New Age thinkers section in any bookstore, all you see is books on the end of the world. Maybe not your belief but I would say at least 80%.

  82. I read the Bible and I feel sorry for people like you who have no idea of what's coming and I don't mean the Mayan end of the world. Repent and be saved before it's too late!!! How can you be saved? Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, that He was buried and that He rose from the dead, then read your Bible so that you are not caught off guard of what really is coming. God Bless!!!

  83. Funny that the calendar they're showing is an Aztec one.

  84. Xiana Fontno maybe that's true, but it isn't the same. they used similar methods but the Aztec calendar doesn't have this end of cycle thing.

  85. My Aztec is a little rusty, but I do believe this calendar is predicting that on 12/15/2012 it will be used as a portrayal of a Mayan calendar.

  107. The calendar that this all points back to is the Long Count calendar. It's an astronomical calendar that was used to track what the Mayans called the universal cycle. Each cycle is calculated to be approximately 2,880,000 days. They believed that the universe is destroyed at the end of each cycle and the recreated to start a new cycle. The "creation date" for the current cycle we are in today is 4 Ahaw, 8 Kumku and according to the most common conversion this date is equivalent to August 11, 3114BC in the Gregorian Calendar or September 6 in the Julian calendar.

    A guy was seated next to a 10-year-old girl on an airplane. Being bored, he turned to the girl and said,
    "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

    The girl, who was reading a book, closed it slowly and said to the guy, "What would you like to talk about?"

    Oh, I don't know," said the guy. "How about nuclear power?"

    "OK," she said. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat the same stuff… grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"

  129. please tell people, pass it along, that there are no cataclysmic signs in the astronomical ephemeris for December 21, 2012. Unlike the angry aspects astrologers warned about for December 13 and 14, which expressed itself in the elementary school massacre recently, and a great deal of public unrest and harm worldwide, things actually get turned around for the better after December 19, when a key planet ends its reverse orbit and goes direct. so take heart. whatever reason the calendar leaves off after a 5,00+ year cycle, we aren't privy to that reason anyway, since the Mayans had no written language at the time.

    Michael Stephens, you pick and chose from the old testament, read the new testament as well. Your entire argument is erroneous, like you. Read Mark Chapter 7 verses 1 -23. Don't have a Bible, no problem. I'll help.

    Clean and Unclean
    7
    The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were “unclean,” that is, unwashed.

    (The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders. 4 When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.)

    So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with ‘unclean’ hands?”

    He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:

    “‘These people honor me with their lips,

    but their hearts are far from me.
    They worship me in vain;

    their teachings are but rules taught by men.

    You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.”

    And he said to them: “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions! For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother, and, ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death. But you say that if a man says to his father or mother: ‘Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God), then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother. Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

    Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a man can make him ‘unclean’ by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him ‘unclean.”

    After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him ‘unclean’? For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods “clean.”)

    He went on: “What comes out of a man is what makes him ‘unclean.’ For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
    greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man ‘unclean.’

    Michael Stephens your opinion is garbage, and you should really educate yourself before you post something online for the world to see how wrong you are, and you very welcome for the lesson.

I am sure there will be at least one person living on this world making that same day prediction. Sorry to burst your bubble…that other person…the Mayans!?

    Who said it would end in 'a day'? I think the end is in progress. Humans are helping it happen faster by believing in money and greed rather than humanity and earth. Nostradamus wrote of the nearing of the apocalypse with signs such as; high loss of life to disasters both man-made and natural, only being able to tell the seasons by the leaves on the trees, significant melting of ice near the poles, and more. The earth IS changing. The meek shall inherit it. Will YOU embrace it?

    People are so retarded. The Mayan calender was a lunar calender and thus not at all in sync with the current solar Gregorian calendar which we use. The reason Jewish and Muslim holidays are never in sync with our calendar are due to this reason, thus the date of December 21st is almost completely irrelevant.

    Again, I shall do my best to help comfort those who are afraid and worried. It saddens me th at many has lost touch or forgotten their true nature of the Divine. I can't stress enough unto the masses that this hype is only what it is.."HYPE". Sadly though, because of the BELIEF that many has of this so called end would actually manifest itself unto them that are far beyond reach. They are convinced within their minds that "AN END IS COMING" which actually is "THEIR END". But even at their end, they shall still exist. For those of you that are CONVINCED that such end would occure, I give this unto you…."YOU ARE LOVED BY THE DIVINE AND YOU CAME INTO THIS REALITY / WORLD TO EVOLVE AND TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE ALSO TO WORK OUT YOUR PAST NEGATIVE KARMA AND EMBRACE YOUR GOOD KARMA. If you decide to "END" your reality / life/ world (that YOU CREATED) then just know that this isn't the first time you have experienced such violent passing. You've been through this many many times and guess what? YOU STILL EXISTED AND CAME BACK EVEN MORE WISER THAN YOUR OTHER LIVES / REALITIES. You are not alone nor should you ever be because YOU ARE APART OF THE DIVINE THAT HAS NO BEGINNING NOR AN ENDING. You do not have to sucume unto this hysteria that the masses, the media is spreading. Because we all have free will and shall always, you have a choice to make. You can choose to forget your true nature and become a victim OR go deep inside yourself and ASK of your HIGHER SELF OR SPIRITUAL GUIDE to open your eyes and restore your DEVINE POWERS OF CREATION AND WISDOM and they SHALL DO SO. I am a SPIRITUAL PROPHET WITH GREAT WISDOM AND MY SPIRITUAL GUIDE HAD INSTRUCTED me to do a video just based on this "NEGATIVE HYPE" to help others who are afraid. I done what I was instructed to do and posted it on YOU TUBE. I'm not sure if I can post the link here so I'll just tell you how to find the video. Go to YOU TUBE…..TYPE IN "2012 end of the world and God" or type "BEYOUNDTHESTARS 2012 End of the world and God". Or just type in "BEYOUNDTHESTARS Kaden Martin". Look for the name "kaden Martin"…that's my name. There are 4 videos posted. For this specific purpose, watch the video about 2012 end of the world and God. It is unlike any video you have ever witnessed but it is important that you get a clear understanding of who you are and events that takes place and why. This has nothing to do with religion so let that be understood. I am here to help yet the rest is up to you all. Be blessed….~Kaden

  199. Does it make any difference? If we lived our lives as we should, it should not matter.

  200. I look at it this way: there's not a damned thing I can do about it, either way. if it happens I resally don't want to survive it, I'm too old to hunt for food. if it doens't happen, then Dec 21 2012 can be filed in the same tempest in a teapot as the doom-n-goomers in 2000.

    Michael Stephens , as an educated man you should know the old testament was simply a learning tool for the people God choose. Everything God created was good, but they needed to learn to hear his voice and obey his word so he gave them statutes. The glory was not in what they did not eat for they could not make themselves holy. The glory was in hearing and obeying his voice. Thus, I think you are using something that is without flaw to justify a bias that you have for whatever reason. That is indeed your choice, but at least as an educated man if you are going to reference something present it in its truth.

  205. I have a theory about Y2K – we have all been living in an alternate universe since 2000. So if that is the case then maybe we will go back to the original universe or maybe go to another one on 12/21/12. Who's to say that won't or can't happen. My response is Why worry!. If the the world ends then no one will be here anyway so NO WORRIES FOLKS!

    going2trash , I hate to burst your bubble, but when Jesus came the Lord did not share that day either. People predicted it, but only the Lord knew the day. Thus, for you to think he needs my help, your help, or even the Mayans we would be wrong. When Christ died he removed the need! The trumphet sounded then, people have been getting dressed for the wedding feast since then, and time was measured.

  207. Its true that nobody knows when the world is going to end. I do believe we have to be prepared as the weather and the people will be unpredictable. I also believe there will be some dark days to come and every being will be either a witness or a victim or both. No end of our world, or at least not yet.

    Winston Zeddemore: Myth? Ray, has it ever occurred to you that maybe the reason we've been so busy lately is 'cause the dead HAVE been rising from the grave?
    Dr Ray Stantz: [Pause ] How 'bout a little music?
    Winston Zeddemore: Yeah.

    what if the 21st comes to china n japan 1st then we can say ooooohhhh shyte.

  251. I do not believe for a moment that the Apocalypse will occur December 21, 2012. The Bible says only God Almighty knows the time and the day the world will end. This 12/21/2012 is just the end of the Mayan calendar and the beginning of a new era in human consciousness. Nothing to be scared of. Relax, people!

  252. this person Janet Shan with The Hinterland Gazette is more skeptical. is 100% nuts , I scarcely believe this will be the end of the world. Just saying.” she needs to be fired from her job.

  253. just like ray said in the ghost busters Every ancient religion has its own myth about the end of the world.
    see everyone on the 22nd.

  254. Why buy a shelter? It's the end of the world. What., are you going to just float in outer space in your bunker?

  255. Think you could spot me $20,000… I'll partnership with you, so we can both have a nice Christmas…

    the mayans never said the world will end. It is just the end of that particular calendar. The whole Mayan apocolypse was started by white people as are most doomsday scenarios.

  257. I hope it does end. I've grown quite tired of life.

  258. talk with you all on facebook dec 22

    That's an AZTEC calendar in the photograph, not MAYAN, very different cultures…

  260. I agree with you too… Think about the days of Noah… Noah built the Ark, Noah didn't know when it was going to rain… I think other people were thinking he was crazy, and they joked and laughed, then it happened… The Flood, Then a new covenant was made, not to be flooded ever again… I think Jesus mentioned as the days of Noah meaning the wickedness will be abolished, but now by fire… So I don't think Mayans, or whoever thinks the earth is going to be destroyed, but according to Rev… Look, I make all things new… And only the creator knows when he is going to make things happen… I just keep in mind that God is Love… A patient God, and he reads hearts…

    Who gives a damn. If it ends it ends. we will all be dead if it comes true so why worry?

  264. this is only for the Mayans, not the rest of the world, read your Mayan history books LMAO.

  265. sadly enough some will do stupid things and many people will be hurt or die from fear I say live your lives as you always do and if it happens what in the hell can you do about it by the way where will you run to when you don't have a starship enterprise to get you there the world will end someday but your world (body)will come to an end SO WHY SO SERIOUS (Joker) Peace oh hell it did come to an end NO MORE TWINKIES MY GOD YOU ANIMALS YOU TOOK THEM ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

  266. LOL…the Mayan priests are mad because they think their celebration is being commercialized…lol…Jesus issued a statement today…"Welcome to the club!"….http://theintelhub.com/2012/12/10/end-of-the-world-hear-the-2012-prophecy-direct-from-the-mouths-of-the-mayan-priests/

  269. I know for a fact that a huge event will occur on Dec. 21st: the start of the winter season and nothing more.

  270. apparently nobody has ever heard of he bible. last time this end of the world thing was predicted, people fell for it and gave $50 to protect your pets from the end of the world. when the end comes, YOU ALL DIE! people need to think outside the box.

    who is panicing.

  272. I find it interesting that all those to have a problem the gospel seem to be soo interested in such topic…every knee shall bow..the 21st on or whenever the time comes, there will be a completition and all those who denied the fact and live based on their own limited mindset will scream out for forgiveness and it will be too late. Only idiots choose to not read it…the bible reflects the truth and many people cannot confront it because it reveals their true condition…with that said, the BRIDE say COME! GOd is real, God is coming, and I don't care when, I just care that I get to my destination…i prefer dying, living righteous and not going no where then dying, living not righteous and going somewhere.

    Honestly who cares, we're all going to die eventualy, if the world ends the 21st so be it, we alll die together.

  274. The calender doesn't end, it starts over: On Dec. 21, or thereabouts, the ancient Maya calendar rolls over to start a new 394-year century, or baktun. And that's pretty much it, despite all efforts by writers and filmmakers to market the notion that the Maya predicted the crack-up of Earth this year.

  275. Yeh Guys Come On..!!! Us over here in the Southern Hempishere, New Zealand-Australia will be kissing our butts good bye before you lot, as were 24 hours ahead so only 1/2 the world can blow up on the 21/12/12 and the other half of the world is gonna have to wait till you guys in the Northern Hemisphere have the 21/12/12… So if I'm here on the 22nd Dec still, I'll email ya all in the Northern Hemishpere at 12.01am to let you all know every thing is ok but if I don't email you all then, you'll know your half of the world will go on your date of the 21st Dec 2012… Cheers Lin… :o ))))

  276. I know I got to go to work that day too.

  277. If the world had an ending, all the water and food supply, your shelters, your weapons, wouldn't survive, so why do some people think they would? Isaiah 24:1-23 gives you a vivid picture of how the world will end. Only an alienment would cause something like that to happen. So, it's up in the air, I'd rather pray instead, it's all we really have!

  278. I find it interesting, that, all those to seem to have a problem with the gospel seem to be soo interested in such topic like the end of days. Why is it so intriguing that you feel the impulse to click on the apocapolys link or anything about end times…every knee shall bow..the 21st or whenever the time comes, there will be a completition and all those who denied the fact and live based on their own limited mindset will scream out for forgiveness and it will be too late. Only idiots choose to not read it…the bible reflects the truth and many people cannot confront it because it reveals their true condition…with that said, the BRIDE say COME! GOd is real, God is coming, and I don't care when, I just care that I get to my destination…i prefer dying, living righteous and not going no where then dying, living not righteous and going somewhere.

  279. the only reason it stopped on that day is because the guy who was writing it died that night before he could carve out the next day.

    Here is what I believe! First of all, when you hear the statement…"End of the World"… it's not referring to the PLANET/ EARTH. The bible says that: The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof. The earth has been here for "TRILLIONS" of years and will probably be here trillions more.

    The word world has more to do with what is "CREATED" by man. When you walk into someone’s home, you're walking into what they have created. You're walking into the physical manifestation of what was in their…MINDS! You’re walking into their…WORLD! The same with you…when someone comes into your home, they’re coming into your world…what you created!

    I believe it is referring to GOVERNMENTS and INSTITUTIONS that are on the earth that where created by man and that has all of the inhabitants on the earth MESSED UP…MENTALLY and SPIRTUALLY!

    I believe there will be a new paradigm shift/change in peoples thinking and in their consciousness (there souls) which will ultimately change the world…change the GOVERNMENTS and INSTITUTIONS that are on the planet earth!

    We are reaching a point of being DISSATISFIED! 100% dissatisfaction brings about 100% change!

    So in my conclusion, I think we have a wondrous new world coming our way. A world where there will finally be peace and brotherhood. But…like with anything, there are those who will fight the change because they are the ones that created the present world that we live in and they are not going to give it up without a fight!

    WHY? Because they don’t see nothing wrong with it!

    It’s simply a power issue. A changing of the guards!

    Those in power are not willing to give up their power. So conflict must happen first. And when the power of those powers and principalities in high places are broken, then there will finally be peace on EARTH!

    God says not even the angels know. I don't think the Mayan's or anyone else has the inside scoop. If you believe in God and His word, then you know the truth.

    Almost the entirety of of this comment thread features arguments claiming invalidity of Mayan mythology by virtue of Christian mythology. Sorry, Christians, but one unsupported assumption is equally valid as any other.

    America, instead of relying on old books from mainly illiterate desert nomads in the Bronze-Age, why not put forth a little effort to learn something about reality?
    Something like physics, astronomy, or anthropology?

    Demonstrable knowledge of the real world is a much stronger response than "well the bible says this!"
    Who cares?

  285. Didn't anyone read about the UT student and Professor who discovered an extra chamber in the Mayan ruins that had more calendar dates on it that went past any number of years we have in our vocab? http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech/science/story/2012-05-08/maya-apocalypse-calendar-2012/54879760/1

    I guarantee that for many, the world WILL end, because all over the world, on average, about 150,000 people will DIE. Not only on Dec. 21, but on the 22nd, the 23rd, the 24th, and so on!

    I think its all a crock of SHIT! the world will not end and as a roman catholic our bible states world with out end! there will be no zombies or aliens.

  294. If Mayan predictions were so accurate, how is it they didn't see and respond to, the more immediate threat from Spanish invaders, and climate changes? It wasn't that long ago our computers were set to crash with the advent of the year 20000. And nothing happened then either. Get over yourselves, we have lots of more immediate problems to focus on, don't you think?

  295. Why do they keep showing the Aztec calendar?

  296. Lucy Augustson

    It's really all about retail!

  297. What about the hundreds of other ancient civilizations that predicted the end of the world on their calendars? Why do idiots think the Mayans are so special?

    There have been thousands of "end of the world" days in recorded history. So far their accuracy is obviously 0%.

    I will be sleeping in late on that day and wake up to laugh at people hiding in their basements.

  298. And as stupid as the media always is, this is an AZTEC calendar. I swear the world is just as dumb as it was since the dawn of civilization.

  299. I think this starts a new era of peace and tranquility. THE WORLD IS NOT GOING TO END! There's some things some people haven't discovered yet. Like marriage, children, grandchildren, etc.

    I agree with fishbone 1934. Only God knows. In addition, it's funny that people are willing to buy into the apocalypse matching up with the Myan calander; but they don't follow any other Myan beliefs. How about human sacrifices to the sun gods. No.. because it is just as ridiculous.
