maybe it just means time is circular and scheduled for a reset in 2012. It is circular calendar after all.

or maybe The calender just wasn't big enough to keep counting any higher then 5Kw/e years...

I vote that they ran outta room and the poor guy carving it had a stroke.

You missed the most important part! Our computers will never work again! :P

Magnetic Somersaults - Other possibilities on December 21, 2012:

In the first quarter of 2001, the Sun switched magnetic poles. This occurs every eleven years. Prior to this the Sun's north magnetic pole was at the north rotational pole. Now the Sun's north magnetic pole is at its south pole. Since opposite poles attract, the magnetic poles of the Earth and Sun are now at their most stable.

Just about the time of 2012 Winter Solstice, the Sun's poles will switch back. During this switch there will be a tendency for the Sun's magnetic field to pull the Earth's field with it.

If the Earth's magnetic poles switch, this would put stress on the planet aggravating earthquakes and volcanos, not to mention destruction of the electrical power distribution grid. And, if the switch happens fast enough don't ever expect your computer to work again. But if you have old tube type equipment, keep it. It should survive just fine. It will work if you can find electricity.

Screw all the people disappearing but me in my bombshelter won't be able to use my computer!? SHIT

The only thing I find strange about it is that there calendar just happens to match the exact same day as those events, sure the 11 year sun spot shit could just be a coincidence but our solar system shifting it's position in the galaxy which has never happened before on that exact date is pretty fucked up.

And with it being a Mayan calendar when all those bitches did was warship the sun only adds to it.

But I doubt anything will happen, I just can't see people from 5,000 years ago being able to predict the end of the world.

I'm still sticking with the calender ran out of room. However! Their is Evidence that the pre-mayans or ancient mayans where capable to brain surgery. Also wernt they the first to come up with the concept of 0?

I wouldn't put it past them being able to predict future astrological events such as pole shifts and the like. But that doesnt mean I think the world will end in 2012.

The calender was simply to small to fit more. I mean, look at our calenders. They only go up to about a year. Does that mean the world is going to end when a calender suddenly becomes outdated? I am sure if their culture had survived to this day they would simply release a new Calender Edition. kind of like we do every year.

the solar system is always shifting, relatively of course, but everything is constantly changing. and to beleive that in 12 years time there can be a cataclysmic shift of epic proportions is completely ignorant. this would be more believable if it pointed to a nuclear holocaust rather than some solar apocalypse.

The mayan culture has been interpreted and reinterpreted over and over, until recently we thought they were just a bunch peacful hippy astronomers till someone found a temple dedicated to really nasty human sacrifice. their brain surgery is actually tripanning, it is the drilling of holes in the skull of live patients and it was practiced in egypt and china at that time as well. hell of a way to fix a migraine.

maybe the calendar is just supposed to flip over and repeat, sorta like if you save your out of date julian calendars for a couple of years they will be correct again.

gross tripaning. I was under a different impression but that sounds right =o

As for Human Sacrifices are we sure those weren't added by Aztec conquerors? sounds late Mayan period at the very least.

Didn't they also find evidence of baptismal founts? I mean, I've heard stories about how Spanish missionaries relayed christian stories and surprisingly some of the natives already knew them... anyone else heard anything like that?
