is 2012 the year of armgeddon?

this is mentioned in mayan calendar its making a
chaos and its spreading too fast loool

The 2012 thing is based on two fake scholars who got hold a of a few facts about the ancient Mayans, "invented" a few other things and wrote a book about it to make a bit of money. The real scholars of the Mayans laugh at their rubbish.

The fake science comes from those who blather on about planetary and other alignments. The positions of the planets can be predicted for hundreds of thousands of years in the future and the planets will not "align" in 2012. The rest of it is baloney too.

There is also a failed psychic -and this is just superstition, who claimed that the Earth would be damaged by another planet she called Nibiru in 2003. It didn't happen, nobody saw anything because it did not exist. So somebody said it missed that time but it's coming back in 2012. Well it isn't because if it existed it would have been seen by now.

You may as well be worried by black cats.

No. The planetary / etc alignments which will occur then have occured hundreds of thousands of times before without destroying the world...so this time will be no different. Those who think 2012 is the end of the world misunderstand the Mayan calendar which ends that year. The cycle ends...and a new one begins...no big deal.

The world has been supposed to end dozens of times by now. 2012 is just the one that's next on the list.

Here is a list of predictions that can be found at Wikipedia under the article titled "2012".

Lots of crazy stuff.. and let's not forget that Charles Manson will be up for parole as well.

Metaphysical predictions

2012 is sometimes claimed to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or apocalypse). Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar (which occurs on December 21 by the most widely held correlation) to mean there will be a major change in world order.

Accordingly, several eclectic authors claim that a major, world-changing event will take place in 2012:

* The 1995 book The Mayan Prophecies linked the Maya calendar with long-period sunspot cycles.
* The book 2012: Mayan Year of Destiny claims the Maya may have been instructed in their wisdom by disembodied entities from Orion and the Pleiades. Contact was maintained through shamanic rituals conducted in accordance with the movements of planets and stars. However, some Mayan priests living and working in Guatemala assert that there is no legitimacy to this theory.
* The 1997 book The Bible Code claims that, according to certain algorithms of the Bible code, a meteor, asteroid or comet will collide with the Earth.
* The book The Nostradamus Code speaks of a series of natural disasters caused by a comet (possibly as above) that will allow the third Antichrist to disperse his troops around the globe under the guise of aid in preparation for a possible nuclear war, although in the strictest sense it is unspecific as to nuclear war or some other natural or man caused destruction.
* The book The Orion Prophecy claims that the Earth's magnetic field will reverse.
* The 2005 book Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Ecstasy by Geoff Stray reviews several theories, prophecies and predictions concerning 2012 and finds where authors have used faulty information or have bent the truth to fit their theories.
* The 2006 book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck discusses theories of a possible global awakening to psychic connection by the year 2012, creating a noosphere.
* The 2007 book Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation into Civilization's End by Lawrence Joseph does not make any specific new predictions, but it reviews a number of 2012 predictions made by various sources, and presents arguments for the possible existence of dangerous positive feedback loops involving solar storms, Earth's magnetic field, cosmic rays, hurricanes, global warming, earthquakes, and supervolcanoes that may be on the verge of erupting.

Other prophecies and apocalyptic writings and hypotheses for this year include:

* Terence McKenna's numerological novelty theory suggests a point of singularity in which humankind will go through a great shift in consciousness.
* Some proponents of a peak oil catastrophe place major events in 2012. Richard C. Duncan's book The Peak of World Oil Production and the Road To The Olduvai Gorge claims that the Olduvai cliff will begin and permanent blackouts will occur worldwide. Several studies predict a peak in oil production in or around 2012

It is when the Mayan calendar done thousands of years ago ends. It has the 'end of time' theorists all riled up and all the doomsayers out in force.

it was supposed to be 2000.

If the dumb George Bush re-elected for 3rd term president of United States,yes there will be armageddon.

Its the year when the mayan calander recycles... I think it is just a good excuse to spend a whole year getting wasted, but thats just me... :)

If you want it to be. Terrence Mckenna pinpoints the date as Dec. 21, 2012. Ray Kurzweil has some interesting charts that show a huge transition in technology, and evolution, over the next century... but 2012 isn't all that important of a date in his model. Nevertheless, we do seem about to collide with a huge planetary crisis (from our perspective). We've had plenty of warning. Unfortunately, as a whole, we are far too stupid to be able to, or want to, do anything about it. Hopefully we will be successful in giving birth to the next evolutionary stage before we die out... and hopefully this next stage will be capable of balancing the environment.
