There have already been a lot of predictions about the end time throughout history. Most of these predictions have been proven wrong because of earth’s continued existence and many others have not reached their day of reckoning until 2012 whose predictions are classified with the more recent ones.

There have been so many talks going around about these 2012 prophecies and the Internet has tons and tons of information about this phenomenon. This subject is being discussed in blogs, in various fora, in meetings and in the Internet. There are thousands of sites that refer to the end time.

What are these 2012 predictions? Basically, they all started from the fact that the ancient Mayan calendar will end in 2012. This is believed by followers of Mayan prophecies to signify that the world will meet its final end in that year and furthermore; because the ancient Mayans believed that they don’t need the calendar anymore, they stopped making another one.

Interpretations of these end of the world theory depends on the reader. Some people believe some cataclysmic natural disaster like a meteor strike, will bring about the end of the world will end with a cataclysmic natural disaster. Some believe in a less violent end. There is a bit of interesting science thrown in, like the fact that there is projected to be an event known as a galactic eclipse on December 12th, 2012. This is only supposed to happen every 28,600 years. 2012 prophecy believers think this may herald some major changes for the Earth.

People will always be skeptical about prophecies of the end time. Skeptics have found some loopholes in the predictions of 2012 even if some people claim that these prediction were deemed accurate.

These contradictions are mere observations like the belief that the Mayan culture might have been concluded before they could make another calendar. Others say that this calendar system contains definite times which are far lengthier than 365 days which happens to concluded in the year 2012. There is really nothing special about this.

Just like any prediction, there is always the argument whether it is going to happen or not. There is only one way to find out and that is to wait until 2012 when it happens, if it happens at all.
