Mayans: Please Stop Saying the World Will End in 2012

"I came back from England last year and man, they had me fed up with this stuff," said Apolinario Chile Pixtun, a Mayan Indian elder who insists that the doomsday scenarios come not from his culture, but from Western ideas.

David Stuart, a Mayan specialist at the University of Texas at Austin, added that the Mayans "never said the world is going to end, they never said anything bad would happen necessarily." That hasn't stopped talk of the Earth's poles shifting, etc.

Scientists say the most drastic change to the Earth's magnetic poles would be a one-degree shift that would take place over a million-year time span. There's also no indication that such a shift would begin in 2012.

[..] IRAS satellite [..]


Search for:- The Washington Post, 31-Dec-1983, for the rest of the story.

No need, I can summarise it for you here:

Using IRAS, some astromoners found something unexpected and reported their initial findings as something exciting found with this new kit.

The Washington Post decided that it was an incoming ball of death in the outer solar system, blah blah. Which sold a lot of newspapers.

The astronomers said that initial readings gave a direction, not a distance or an intensity. So it could be less strong in infrared and closer or stronger and further away. This was of course ignored as being less sensational. That doesn't sell papers.

Surprise, surprise, more observations confirmed that they were detecting very strong sources of infrared very far away. They published the results and the media ignored them. They were Official Sources With Credentials when their initial report could be twisted into something sensational, but nobodies who knew nothing when it couldn't.

25 years afterwards and people are still repeating the fictional sensationalism as if it was fact. Like you just did.
 
It was in the papers for one day, then nothing else. If it sold so many papers why did they not run it over a few days?
Why before they knew there was an error in their data, was there not more talk of such a major discovery.
I am not seeking an answer, though feel free to, obviously.

I also included this in my quotes, "It's not incoming mail," Cal Tech's Neugebauer said. "I want to douse that idea with as much
cold water as I can."

The Mayan prophecy vid above is where I am at.

Didn't Peter Sutcliffe say "God told me?" and the witch hunters thought they were doing God a service; or did they really believe that?
Maybe they did; there is a reply to that, though we have gone too far off topic already.

The fact and truth of the matter is, that is the part of the Mayan prophecy, whether or not it will be realised.....

Yes; did you read the thread title?
The Mayan prophecy for 2012 is that it is not the end, though a transition period.

They had nothing to run with. What could they have made up for the few days?

There was no error in their data. They knew from the start that the initial observations couldn't distinguish between a stronger source further away and a weaker, closer source. It was a major discovery to astronomers but no-one else, so there was a lot of talk in the relevant journals and nowhere else.

There was a similar Christian prophecy for 1000 and 2000, and various other dates in between.

Are you a follower of ancient Mayan religion?

Ah, answering a question with a question, that is a supposed Jewish trait. :p

Please enlighten me on these christian prophecies, I have never heard of them? Second thought's don't bother.
I mean I was around here for 2000AD and none of us were really expecting anything to happen then; were we?

No; though this has a ring of truth to it. (imho)
Argh, my last post in this thread, I can't be arsed arguing pointlessly.

I am seeking my own salvation.

Daniel 8:17

Believe me I could predict and write the majority of responses hereafter for you myself, as I said I am trying.

No; though this has a ring of truth to it (inho) and it sounds better prospect than a big planet hitting a little planet.

1000 years after the birth of Jesus, 2000 years after the birth of Jesus. Nice round numbers in our calendar system, just like the 2012 thing is a nice round number in the Mayan calendar system.

If you're not a follower of ancient Mayan religion, why are you following a prophecy based on that religion? Unless you believe the Mayan religious creation stories, that date is completely meaningless to you. It's counting days from the day of creation in Mayan religion.

Oh, go on; sorry to be a bit of a wuss, I just felt I had been bombarded the last few post's defending nothing in particular and having to skirt around the truth, as I see it.
Basically I believe the mayan prophecy ties in with my belief in end time's being very close, if not happening now. The Mayan's were no backward religion, they predicted many things successfully, so why should it be meaning less to me? The Bible say's we were created too.

Thank you for this pic b.t.w. Azagoth; did stretch it as my desktop background, then thought better of it as it might scare my missus. :p
 
Too many people and misinformed about the Mayan prophecies it is not the 'end' but a time of great transition, Nostradamus also predicts a great upheaval and then the golden age of mankind not the end of the world that most TV/Papers like to go with but hey that don't attract viewers/readers.

So what was the great transition the last time the Mayan calander ticked over in 1618? And the time before that in 1224? Or the time before that in 830?

If a transition in the mesoamerican calander is so important, why is this particular transition of more importance than the dozen or so that have occured before it?
