Everyone has heard and is aware of the prophecy that the End of the world is simply two years away. According to the notorious ancient Mayan calendar doomsday prophecy, the world, as well know it would end on the 21st of December, 2012. This particular prophecy about 2012 the end of the world is actually the most widespread and most believed of all the antichrist and doomsday predictions and prophecies that have circulated all throughout the world for centuries. And there are hundreds of doomsday prophecies that go as far back as 1669 and have cause panic over the centuries; the most recent prophecies had people hiding in caves waiting for the rest of the world to be wiped out, and still nothing happened, which is why it is a great wonder that this particular End of the world prophecy has a lot of people convinced.
Taking into consideration the last armageddon prophecy in the year 2000, it IS rather fascinating why the ancient Mayan 2012 apocalypse prophecy had a lot of people believing, so much so that Hollywood banked on said popularity and earned millions by making a movie about it. If we are to discuss the factors fueling this belief, the first on the list would be the fact that the ancient Mayans are known worldwide as a civilization that is highly developed in the study of astronomy and mathematics and they are a race that is deeply tuned with their spirituality and religion. The most referenced and most popular version of the prophecy is that of the Mayan calendar that accurately predicts the end of the planet's current life cycle. Although scientists, astronomy and biblical scholars have fought and debated over the validity and accuracy of the calendar and the ancient Mayan calculations, they all agreed in the end that the ancient calculation of the Earth’s lunar cycle is just thirty seconds off than that of the globally established lunar cycle; and that is it for all of us, then.
It is also fascinating to note that another theory that had started the 2012 official countdown, is the magnetic pole shift theory that is long overdue and would quite possibly occur in the year 2012. It is said that the Earth is long overdue for another magnetic pole shift for the past five thousand years and it is most likely that the moving of the north and south poles may occur two years from now.
There are however other theories that offer less frightening details about what will occur in the year 2012, one such theory is that the world will not be wiped out or sucked into a black hole but the world and everybody in it will endure a heightened level of consciousness and spirituality which makes all knowledge of the former world, or the old Earth irrelevant. So the question now is, do you believe that the End of the planet is really at hand and what are you going to do until then?
