Question: Where did all this 2012 hoopla come from!?
Every time I log onto yahoo answers, I see some lame question about 2012 being the year the planet ends!. Why are there so many people asking this question!? Is it there a prophecy in some culture that the world will end in 2012 thats getting all these 12 year olds in a frenzy!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some of us remember a little thing called Y2K that said that the West would fall when all of our computers would simultaneously crash because they couldn't handle a "00" in the year portion of their internal clocks!. It didn't happen, of course, but that didn't keep people from going out and buying canned food, bottled water, guns, ammo, and duct tape to hold off the hordes of marauders that were supposed to emerge from the ashes of civilization!. Really!

People have been finding the end of the world since there has been a world!. The Great Flood appears in legend and literature of many sources in the Mideast ~2000 BC(BCE) and I'm sure that people thought that THAT was the end of the world, and yet!.!.!.here we are!

Every appearance of Halley's comet brings the doomsayers, and I'm sure that 12/21/12 is exactly that: a coincidence that will bring out the nut-job doom preachers!. If everything does end on that day, I hope I have a good seat! ;-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Mayan Calender says of a great disaster on December 21, 2012!. Some say the end of the World but might just be a great disaster as I was watching about one time!. In any case the way they figured out this was the correct date(remember the issues of calender changes and such) was the astrological situation!. The Planets will align and the Earth will complete a FULL rotation, remember the Earth is on a tilt and wobbles and so it completes a full rotation every couple of thousand years!. I mean there is so many details to this so yeah they are pretty sure about that part!. Now about the comment about the Mayan Civilization ended so far back is important to this as well!. The Mayan Calender also predicted when their Civilization ended!. So people get the idea they knew what they were talking about and think this disaster must mean the World is ending!. In any case we have over 4 years before this is going to happen so no reason to worry about it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes! 2012!.!.!. shall be the year of reckoning!. 2012 shall be remembered in history of mankind forever!. Why!?

From the position of planetary movements and astrological calculations!.!.!. the significance of number three for present civilization is immense!. The 12th year of 21st century totals number three!.

Talking of 2012 means!.!.!. we have already stepped into the 21st century which numerically totals three!. The 12th year also totals to three!. A significant upheaval on the whole shall be the order of the day!.
