You know for the first time in my life I think that I’m actually floored. On PBS around here they had a 2 hour special on how the world WILL NOT END! in 2012! They spent how much money to reassure people of something I could have told them for a dollar, fifty!
The 2012 hysteria started with a station that I used to love and now almost loathe the History Channel. They had one almost every month for a few years Docu-Dramas about the end of the world in 2012. Now what you ask your old pal Warcorpse is a docu-drama. Well unlike a documentary which films the facts regardless of the outcome and tries to be fair and impartial. Something that Michale Moore should learn if he wants to keep calling himself a documentary film maker.
Now a docu-Drama is a little diffrent it will report facts BUT will over look some other rather large facts for the purpose of entertainment and shock value. I find that the History Channel in paticular is going more and more with Docu-Dramas. Isn’t that funny from a channel that’s supposed to teach me about history? Last time I checked history dosen’t change because it’s already done.
Well onto the Mayan 2012 bullshit. Had most people even gone to wikipedia they would have found out that the Mayans didn’t have just one calender they had about seven or eleven I can’t remember which. These calenders are circular meaning they repeat and they range in length from a half a day to a few centuries. The big one the one we’re coming up on is due to eclipse in 2012 something it does once every 5,162, years (that number is what I remember so if it’s wrong don’t bother pointing that out) So the big calender will start all over again.
Let me illustrate another way take the Christian calender in that calender it will never be November 19 2009 again will it. However in the Mayan calender it will be November 19 2009 again once it reaches that point in its rotation AGAIN! And by the way we were already on the earth the last time this thing eclipsed we were building the pyramids so we had been around for a long long time the last time it happened.
One last note on the end of the world dates. James Randi has compiled a list of dates the world was supposed to end guess how many misses ALOT! Plus to further put your mind at ease the great builders of the pyramids had their own end of the world date scrawled in the great pyramid of Giza guess when that is! drum roll………….. 1984!!!!! Well we made it through that one and we’ll make it through this one to.
So don’t rack up the credit card bills to high becuase we’re all going to be around for a long, long time.
