Dooms Day
Armageddon. The end of the world. The apocalypse. Humanity has always been fascinated with their own destruction, wondering and waiting for the day that all hell will break loose. We have gone through countless prophecies and threats of this ‘dooms day’ and survived, but still people focus on these predicted days.
We have a new one coming, Dec. 21, 2012. According to Mayan prophecy’s that will be the day will all meet our maker. But is this date more than just the end of their calendar? Did this ancient people have some insight into the future, thousands of years later?
This day does have a few key events occurring on it. For one, our sun under goes its solar cycle every 11 years, the last one being in 2001. So on that day the suns poles will switch. Though normally this is a rather routine event, the one that will occur in 2012 will be made all the more powerful by the alignment of Saturn and Jupiter with the sun.
Other gruesome possibilities have been discussed for the outcome of this prophesized event. Will we die in flames or will history repeat itself? Well I suppose we will have to wait and see, but in the mean time what do you think?
Is Dec. 21 the dooms day or just the end of the Mayan’s calendar?
