2012 IS THE END OF THE WORLD....EVERYONE KNOWS THAT....RIGHT?

This is "The World" a map of the world built from reclaimed land, in the sea 2Km off of the coast of the United Arab Emirates.
They were doing a roaring trade selling the countries of the world as property investments. However, the investors have seen their properties collapsing and the land is falling back into the sea.
If nothing else the project is unlucky. Lawsuits are whizzing around between everyone involved. The owner of Ireland hasn't just seen his island collapse, so has his business, which has gone bankrupt and the guy who paid $60M for Great Britain has just started a 7 year sentence in a British jail for fraud.
What I found amusing was the statement from the developers which said that the project wasn't exactly dead....more like in a coma!


This is the Mayan calendar and it's what all the fuss is about. As anyone who can translate ancient Mayan calendar language will tell you, the end of time is next year, more precisely, on the winter solstice, on December 21st….right?
We've had prophesies in films and books for years now freaking us all out. All the film makers and authors of these works do have one thing in common....They don't read ancient Mayan calendar language.


Here's a reality check. First off, the Mayans are not a mysterious ancient people that disappeared from history. They are still there. They make up the population of Central America. If you are one of the thousands of tourists that visited Cancun in Mexico last year then Mayans cooked your breakfast and made your bed.


When the apocalyptic disaster movie 2012 was released, the Daily Telegraph interviewed Jesus....No not that one, but Jesus Gomez, head of the Guatemalan confederation of Mayan priests and spiritual guides. He said:

"There is no concept of apocalypse in the Mayan culture,"

It turns that the calendar doesn’t prophesy anything. 2012 is simply the end of the calendar and just like everyone else who's calendar has run out....They’ll just get a new one.

If you think about it, to try to make it rain, they threw virgins down wells and literally tore the hearts out of their own people in human sacrifices, on top of their pyramids.
It still didn't rain....yet they kept on doing it. How smart was that?
