Well, might as well post this again.
Greetings citizen!
If you are reading this copypasta, that means you, or someone else, has asked about the 2012 doomsday.
The Maya never said anything about a doomsday on December 21, 2012. There are no oral or written statements from the Maya saying anything of dooms day significance will happen on that day. In fact, "modern" Maya tasked with carrying on the tradition of the calender are even saying it is not the end of the world.
Contrary to popular belief, the Mayan calender does NOT end in 2012. Only a major cycle ends on December 21st, 2012. After that cycle ends, a whole new one begins. So far, we have been through several major cycles no "bigger" than the one we are going to go through on December 21st, 2012. During those cycles that have passed throughout history, nothing apocalyptic occurred.
The Planet X / Nirbiru Theory - If there truly was a rogue planet that is going to collide with Earth astronomers would be tracking it for years. At this point you could walk outside of your home and see said rogue planet with your naked eye
Nostradamus - Contrary to the History Channel's false and contradicting information, Nostradamus never said 2012 was the end, nor anything of significance would happen on said date. His predictions are very broad and can be twisted to say anything you could possibly imagine making him a prime target for doomsday theorists.
Solar Flare - Even NASA made an article about the "2012 doomsday" stating that there is to be no projected solar flare or anything of any significance on December 21, 2012. You can find the article and see for yourself by searching for it on Google.
Possible comet colliding with Earth - There is no comet that will be in position to impact earth in 2012.
Hindu - Put simply, there is a "Day of Brahma" where the Hindu believe the world will be destroyed and recreated on that day. The Day of Brahma no matter how you slice it is no where near December 21, 2012 and a very, very, very long ways from your life time.
Apocalypse Island - The History Channel states that (somehow) the Maya have traveled to the Juan Fernandez Islands, AKA "Apocalypse Island" and constructed monuments that the History Channel somehow believes to be a sign of the 2012 apocalypse. Well, there are some problems with that. The Maya were a culture that thrived in Meso-America, specifically the region that is now Southern Mexico and Guatemala. Unlike other cultures, the Maya were not seafaring people making it hard to believe they sailed to said island. The History Channel has yet to explain these inconsistencies.
In conclusion, this only covered a small amount of the many doomsday theories of 2012, but this at least covers the most popular and circulated. The only reason why this is so popular and garnered so much attention is due to the media and popular programming such as National Geographic and the History Channel airing very contradicting, false and manipulative programs coupled with people not caring to look up the real facts.
Nothing of significance will happen, so please don't go calling your boss a douche monkey today.
