2012 Doomsday: Fact Or Fiction?
If you have divulged yourself in mass media and pop culture recently, surely you have heard people discussing the end of days slated to occur at the end of 2012. More specifically, Armageddon is to occur on December 21, 2012 and there is supposed evidence to support this. No other date has received the hype that this one has, not even Y2K. When I heard about this date, I needed to read the theories and the evidence for myself. I have compiled a list of the most convincing arguments so that you can answer this question for yourself: 2012 Doomsday Fact or Fiction?
Perhaps the most popular foundation for the 2012 doomsday scenario comes from the Mayan culture. Some have sworn by the calendar their ancient civilization created has predicted other events with precise accuracy. Some even say the Mayans predicted the tragedy on 9/11 through their intricate calendar.
This calendar ends without reason on December 21, 2012, which has left those who have sought wisdom from it stranded. These people among many others feel that it is no coincidence that the calendar ends as it does; that this day must surely be the end of the world.
In roughly 2900 B. C., the I Ching or Book of Change was also credited with an eerie calculation to December of 2012. This came in the form of a graph created using patterns from the I Ching; Terrance McKenna created the graph itself. This graph’s peaks have so far corresponded to various changes in the world; it too mysteriously stops in 2012.
A Web Bot is also responsible for feeding into this allegation of Armageddon. This Web Bot was created to predict fluctuations in the stock market, and has been credited with predicting other major events such as 9/11. The software runs searches and compiles information based on discussion and behavioral patterns of those online and compiles the information. It has predicted a world wide calamity in 2012.
Finally, the planets in our solar system are said to be lining up in a straight line with one another all in 2012. In theory, this will make a black hole with unpredictable results. The Mayan calendar predicted such a drastic shift in the solar system occurring on the final day of their calendar, or to some, the last day of our lives.
Its hard to say if this is all coincidence, or what it is. There have been plenty of false predictions of the last day of Earth, and this could just be another to tack up there. Frankly, for every piece of evidence to support the end of days, there is an equal argument to the contrary. Knowledgeable people on the subject suggest the Mayan calendar to simply be recycling, and while the Web Bot might have ‘predicted’ 9/11, it has ‘predicted’ a lot of other things that never happened.
It really boils down to what you want to believe. I could join the ranks of someone saying that this is surely the end of the world, or the other long line that says the first line is full of crazy people. I can’t make up your mind, I can only give you what I know. So, 2012 Doomsday, fact or fiction?
