NASA has revised their prediction for solar maximum to now occur around mid-May of 2013

Yea, because Fox News isn't all about scaring the shit out of the country... I'll listen to CNN International and the BBC. Network news agencies in the USA are about ratings and scaring people. It's not news.

CNN int or otherwise is not much better tbh. They used to be though.

Lol, NASA can say all they want about the Mayan LC just starting a new cycle,.. the whole point is it only does so every 14000 years or so and the Mayans believed civilizations will be reset along with the calendar, presumably just like the last time.

Regarding reviving the knights Templar, there is absolutely no point, as they never died out. Sure a lot of them were burned, the order was ruined and the treasury seized, but most of the order merged with the Johanieters and in Portugal they just continued under a different name. The Johanieters are still around, so that means the Templars are too.

That said, it is all bullshit, but 21st December 2012 is a magnificent date for a huge mesoamerican themed party.

The last major asteroid impact probably wasn't 65 million years ago. There is strong evidence that there was an impact from some cosmic body about 12k years ago. Scientists think it hit one of the ice sheets which then melted away after the ice age, leaving no crater behind. It is thought this impact contributed to the extinction of the mega fauna. Geological and archaeological evidence supports this.

That's just something I'd like to point out.

Nah,.. Tugunska was only about a hundred years ago and humanity survived fine. What SM was referring to is much older.

Is that so? Most credible Mayan scholars do not support that belief. In fact the new cycle was barely mentioned or given significance.
What significance the classic Maya gave the 2012 date is uncertain. Most classic Maya inscriptions are strictly historical and do not make any prophetic declarations. Two items in the Maya historical corpus, however, mention the end of the 13th baktun: Tortuguero Monument 6 and, possibly, the Chilam Balam.

"For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. in Crystal River, Florida. To render December 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."

In conclusion; We have shown that the majority of Mayanist scholars ( as opposed to proponents of Mayanism and the 2012 doomsday ) do not think that the 2012 date relates to a prediction of an apocalypse.

Location Locatiob Location.. although asteroids that size aren't big enough to destroy the planet.. they also aren't even tracked. We have had other large explosions since http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33540411/ns … nce-space/

Mäh. I say the calendar guy one day went to the shitter and accidentally fell in. Once he got up from there his buddies, high on rotten apples, brushed their mohawks and vulgary destroyed the brown toilet monster. Thus killing the only guy who knew anything about astronomy. Poor fella.

I just went to see 2012 with my girlfriend. Surprisingly, I liked it but more to the point, she loved it
