end 2012
when did people start believing that the world was going to end 2012 and i have another ?
when did people start to mention 2012 was the end of the world .
and when in like 2000 were people saying that the world was going to end 2012
also in the other years when people said the world was going to end did they ever mention 212 was the exact date .
There are nearly 400 failed prophecies of the end of the world or of major disasters listed at the site "A brief history of the apocalypse" or "abhota". Many of the more recent ones cited Nostradamus, falsely of course. Most of the older ones cite Revelation and / or other books of the Bible. Such prophecies are as common as muck and are worth nothing to the sane and the informed, however sometimes they make money or notoriety for those who make them, usually from the very young, the dim-wits and the paranoid.
According to a reading of the Mayan calendar, it fills it's current baktun on 21 or 23 December 2012. To the Mayans, a baktun was a round number much like 10,000 is to us. They did not count the same way we do. Back in 1966 one of the early translators sort of joked that maybe the Mayans thought it would be the end of the world, but hastened to explain that there was no evidence that they actually did. And there still is no evidence. The only inscription is damaged and it says that something will descend into something else. Scary, isn't it?
Forward to the mid 1980s. Jose Arguelles who claims to be a reincarnated Mayan priest or prince or princess (!) took this baktun-filling as meaning a great change in everything, probably for the better. He did not say "end of the world" but maybe "end of the world as we know it".
Forward again to 1994 or so. Nancy Lieder began to claim that she had been abducted by aliens who told her that the Earth would be damaged by a planet she called X. She used to get on various internet forums where she was laughed off. So she started her own site called Zetatalk. In in she predicted that it would happen in May 2003.
Since a few people were making money out of it with books, survival stuff and "shelters" and of course it didn't happen they had to start lying about another date to keep sales up. Somebody knew about Jose Arguelles and 2012 so they postponed planet X to fit in with the nonsense he was talking, but they cut off the "as we know it" from the "end of the world"..
Since then a lot more frauds have jumped on the bandwagon with lies about Nostradamus, planetary and galactic line-ups, solar flares and you name it. They claim it's "scientific" but all of it is completely false.
I first heard of Nancy Lieder in 1999 and she was a joke even then. I first heard of 2012 toward the end of 2006 and the lie was already widespread then. That is about when the History Channel started spreading it. They are only in it for the ratings and the money.

How do you know if the world is gonna end in 2012?
They say that the earth is gonna end in 2012 from the earth's radiation and the United States isn't gonna survive at all and some peoople say that it ain't gonna happen. How do you know?
There is no good reason to believe such ridiculous hoaxes. There have been many in history, and they have all obviously been wrong, just like this one.
wow so much to read O_O
i can agree with what your saying. and i truly do not like it. i'm wishing fro an MMO that has a different mindset than to grind, level up and such. it doesn't mean there broken but it's to unoriginal now. i was hoping Blade & Soul would do that, and it's getting there.
