The Mayan Calendar ends in 2012, because they ran out of room.

I don't know but I doubt it's anything special. How far ahead can the calendar in your PC go? I mean- 2012 was pretty far into the future for these guys. Why would they give shit what happened in 2012?

You're probably talking about that crap I posted in the 2012 movie thread. I copied and pasted it. The link at the top was in the original post on the comment board of the site. I think the lady that it links to is the author. |

They also believed there were 5 of these cycles. Each one lasting 5 thousand and some odd years. Guess what? The earth has been around alot longer than 25 thousand years. It's bs. I would make sure you buy plenty of milk, gas, bread, eggs for a few days prior though, as every idiot in the world is gonna be stockpiling goods.

i don't agree with all of mckenna's ideas, but i think there's a lot more to psychedelics than most perceive. edit: scary... and invalidated. "On this basis, McKenna originally chose the date of ultimate singularity—December 21, 2012—by looking for a particularly "novel" event in recent history, and using this as the beginning of what he conceived to be a final 67.29 year cycle; the event he chose was the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which gave an end-date in mid-November of 2012, but when he discovered the proximity of this date to the end of the current 13-baktun cycle of the Mayan calendar on 21 December 2012, he adjusted the end date to fit.[8][9]" -wiki timewave zero |

Personally, I think they were just lazy and just stopped on that day. Everyone else is just reading into it now.
