The claims for 21 December 2012 cover a lot of ground. They range from nuclear holocaust to Harmonic Convergence of cosmic energy flowing through the earth, cleansing it and raising it to a higher level of vibration, and along the way they include the death of two-thirds of humanity and the north and south poles will split – you get the picture.
But there are two problems with this.
First, when a calendar comes to the end of a cycle, it just rolls over into the next cycle. In our Western society, every year 31 December is followed, not by the End of the World, but by 1 January. So 13.0.0.0.0 in the Mayan calendar will be followed by 0.0.0.0.1 – or good-ol 22 December 2012, with only a few shopping days left to Christmas.And the second problem is that it is always remarkably difficult to make predictions, especially about the future, and things that havent happened yet.
