The truth about 2012

You might have heard about 2012 and the end of the world. Well, I’ve recently put a website online called 2012 Explained to try to inform people of this other life nonsense. In brief, for people not familiar with the concept, the Mayan Long Count Calendar is ending on December 21 2012 and this is what they call the end of the Great Cycle. I felt so bad about all the false information and the fear propaganda being made around this event that I felt the need to create a website and make this all clear.

It is believed that on that date, the world will either ends or dramatic changes will take place. The possibilities are that there will be an increase of flood, volcanoes eruptions, earthquakes, a comet hitting earth and a magnetic poles shift. I explain on the website how this is all totally nonsense, that the end of the Great Cycle is considered by the Mayas as a celebration day and not as a doomsday and that it would be impossible for them to predict such event.

Also, Nostradamus apparently predicted that a comet will hit earth in 2012 causing major chaos on the planet. Again, I think it is fairly objective to say that Nostradamus can’t be trusted. Everyone can be a Nostradamus and it’s in fact fairly easy. Simply write vague enough statements/predictions with no dates about terrible events and once a terrible event occurred, you can probably make a link between your predictions and that event. I found a very nice article dating from 1984 about Nostradamus predicting the end of the world in the 1990’s and I think you can all draw your own conclusions! Here’s the article: 1990’s End of the world.

One last thing I explain on the website is that the only rational possibility is a magnetic pole shift. A magnetic poles shift is essentially the North pole and the South pole swapping places. It has happened some 780,000 years ago and many believe that we are overdue for another one. To be more precise, some believe it will happen in 2012 exactly. The NASA has confirmed a pole shift in the near future is a possibility, but no one knows! It’s not something you can predict. It is generally agreed that a pole shift could disrupt our planet. This would affect everything ranging from telecommunications to animals and humans. There’s only one thing you have to consider that may people intentionally forget to mention : A poles shift takes 5,000 years to complete! I’m pretty sure you won’t be here anymore. In the beginning of a pole shift, we might face temporary problems with cell phones, GPS, etc. but nothing close to the end of the world!

I won’t explain the whole thing in detail as I’ve created a website for that purpose: 2012 Explained.
