2012

Twenty twelve, twenty twelve.

20-12-2012

Has a ring to it, doesn't it?

Well, the day right after it, is pretty much Judgement day for all of us.

Some people may think it's just a myth, but I for one think it has a lot of validity in it. Read on...

The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar is a non-repeating, vigesimal (base-20) calendar used by several Mesoamerican cultures, most notably the Maya. For this reason, it is sometimes known as the Maya (or Mayan) Long Count calendar. Using a modified vigesimal tally, the Long Count calendar identifies a day by counting the number of days passed since August 11, 3114 BCE (Gregorian).^[1] Because the Long Count calendar is non-repeating, it was widely used on monuments.


The science of this calendar is pretty complex, but it is very accurate. But there's one slight problem.


December 21 — The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the Maya civilization among others of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes its thirteenth b'ak'tun cycle since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to 3114 BC August 11 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, according to the "GMT-correlation" JDN= 584283) Long Count b'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated, for the first time in a span of approximately 5,125 solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an incomplete inscription (Tortuguero Monument 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed. However, it is conjectured that this may represent in the Maya belief system a transition from the current Creation world into the next.

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 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 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.

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.

Now there are quite a few possibilities as to what exactly will end the world.

From the expected events of 2012, we have

January 31 — 433 Eros, the second-largest Near Earth Object on record (size 13x13x33 km) is expected to pass Earth at 0.1790 astronomical units (~26.8 million kilometers; ~16.6 million miles). NASA studied Eros with the NEAR Shoemaker probe launched on 1996-02-17.
This pretty much suggests that the Biblical code that an asteroid will hit Earth is inevitable.

The sun will reverse its own magnetic poles during 2012 as result of reaching the end of the current 11-year sunspot cycle.
This is a very scientific reason. This talks about the reversal of the poles of the Sun, but if it happened on Earth, the climatic changes would be apocalyptic for sure.

Why am I typing all of this all of a sudden?

Because I woke up today. With this.


I sought after many logical explanations. I thought I had touched the newspaper with wet hands after brushing my teeth, but I couldn't find anything like this on any paper.
I have NO IDEA how that came to be on my hand.
I'm scared. Terrified. Freaked out.
I don't know what to make out of this.
