I am interested in 2012, notably - the Mayan prophecy about the end of the world 12.21.2012. Many people talk about it now, besides, the movie comes out soon. I'm interested to read something about it. Disclosing this theme.
Advise me some articles please.
Thank you
Have you ever heard of doing a search on Google?
Just go to -

DUH!!!
Then simply type in 2012 and a whole bunch of web site links will show up.
I come up with - Results
1 - 10 of about
179,000,000 for
2012.
Then just click on any one of many web site links.
There are web sites about the movie, and some You Tube videos. There is all kinds of information about 2012.
Some people are saying that on 2012, as a result of the precession of the earth's rotational axis, on December 21 or 2012, the sun will appear to be lined up with the galactic center and it will spell disaster, the end of the world as we have known it.
But after I have done my own study of the subject, I think the end of the world scenario is just a bunch of hooey!
That is because, the processional cycle takes about 26,000 years to complete, so every 26,000 years the earth and sun line up the same way, and the last time we had this alignment was about 26,000 years ago, and it's obvious that the world did not end just simply because the earth and sun lined up with the galactic center.
The earth is about 4.5 billion years old. That is 4,500,000,000 years, and since 4,500,000,000 divided by 26,000=173076.92307692307692307692307692
Then, the earth has gone through approximately 173,077 processional cycles during the last 4.5 billion years, and as we all can see, the earth has survived every one of them pretty much in tact.
So, what the Hell is so different about this one that it would bring about the end of the world?
Now, in the past, there have been many cycles of global warming and global cooling, many ice ages, and some major world wide extinction events, for example, an asteroid collided with the earth causing the dinosaurs to become extinct about 60 million years ago.
There have been a few other major world wide extinction events, but they occur on average about every few-hundred million years or so. There was a major volcanic eruption about 600,000 years ago the pretty much fucked up the whole earth, and the earth has recovered from every one of these events.
But there has never been any major disasters that have occurred every 26,000 years.
So, this processional cycle is the same as the last one 26,000 years ago, and the one 26,000 years before that, and the one 26,000 years before that, and so on, and so on, and so on.
If the world as we have known it does end soon, it will probably be because we were stupid enough to stage a nuclear war or something! So, we do have the means to end the world.
Of course, the planet will still be here, although badly damaged, it's just that we won't be here, so for us, the world would have come to an end, just like the world came to an end for the dinosaurs 60 million years ago.
However, we do have a choice in the matter. We can choose to NOT have a nuclear war thus choosing NOT to end our present world.
We also have an advantage over the dinosaurs.
Someday, another asteroid will be on a collision course with the earth. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when.
But we can develop the means of altering the course of an approaching asteroid if we act soon enough when we know that one is coming, thus preventing another major extinction event.
We can send probes out into space.
The dinosaurs could not!
So, when December 21,2012 comes along, 11 days later you can look forward to a Happy New Year on January 1,2013 assuming that you don't do something stupid like getting drunk and getting behind the wheel of a car and wrapping your SUV about 21 times around a telephone pole or some other stupid shit or something!
OK???
