The Mayan 2012 Calendar ends, of course, in 2012, but what does that mean for you? Incase you haven’t heard there is growing concern over the meaning of the calendar ending, does it mean that the world as we know it is going to end too? Well, most people that are talking about 2012 are talking about the theories that the world will end in December of 2012. The 2012 Official Countdown is actually an online program that’s meant to prepare people for what could happen come 2012.

Even though the calendar is thousands of years old it’s still significant because of those that wrote it. The Mayans were a very advanced and intelligent civilization, they were known as great mathematicians and astronomers. The last day recorded on the Mayan calendar is labeled as a “day of movement”, a day where the world changes so much that we cannot even begin to comprehend what it entails.

One of the scariest coincidences about the 2012 doomsday theories is that they all point to the same date, December 21, 2012. The ancient philosopher Nostradamus, the Mayan calendar, and the Christian Bible all seem to have the same basic outline of what the end of the world will be like, or when it will occur.

There are many possibilities for how the world will actually come to an end. Some scientists say that there will be a massive polar shift that will devastate the earth and wipe out civilization, there could be massive flooding and natural disaster, asteroids hitting the earth etc. Other people are concerned with so called “phantom planets” that may disrupt the earth’s gravity field, which would also cause massive damage that may be impossible to repair.

Some believe that once the day passes the world will have entered into a new era where life will never be the same again, whether this is good or bad change it’s impossible to say at this time. One thing that most scientists and philosophers alike can agree on is the fact that there are just too many unknowns out there to make one solid prediction. The only thing that we know for sure is that the world will change without our influence, and we’ve got to get prepared for what could be coming our way.

As of right now it’s all speculation, there is no telling what’s going to happen come December 21, 2012. It’s possible that nothing will happen, then again it’s possible that all these horrific events could come true and leave millions of people without food, water, shelter, or a government to take care of them. If this is true those that have learned to take care of themselves are the only ones likely to survive. So what the Mayan 2012 Calendar can mean for you is, literally, life and death!
