i'm very interested in december 21, 2012 (122112), the supposed apocalypse.
i was curious. some people, who are SO convinced that 122112 will bring nothing claim that december 21, 2012 is simply the end of a cycle and the start of a new one.
well, for all you people, WHY ISN'T THERE A 14TH CYCLE?
also can someone make an organized list of things that might happen on 122112?
i have...
1.) magnetic pole shift
2.) ice age
3.) global warming causing inhabitable conditions
4.) solar storms
5.) increases in flooding, droughts, tornadoes, tsunamis, ETC ETC ETC

A baktun is like a month and a piktun is like a year (except they're both much longer). 2012 is the start of the first ever piktun since the creation of the Mayan calendar. The Mayan calendar will continue to work forever. It was made with long-term times in mind, and it's infinitely expandable.**
In the year 999, people didn't say that it was "0999," they just said "999". In the same way, most Mayan dates drop the beginning zeros. Right now would be something like 0.12.0.0.0.0. 2012 will be 1.0.0.0.0.0. The Mayans did write a few predictions and references to dates after 2012; they definitely thought that people would still be alive.
They might have thought something extraordinary would happen on that date, though. Perhaps the Singularity, a world war, some awesome scientific discovery, etc.

Im not into this "on 2012" the world ends but i do believe that something else greater is happening
: /
the things that are happening right in front of people and they just ignore it and go on with there lives, like me for ex. - they pretend nothing is happening and everything is ok, and they'll say anything for excuses
and no matter what you do can't change there minds, well some you can, because their so set on what isn't from what is.
the closest this seems to relate to is the bible
( not the 2012 part just the things happening)

1.) Nothing.
2.) A shit-load of press and publicity, then nothing.
3.) A whole bunch of panicking, terror threats and celebrities spewing nonsensical theories... and then nothing.
