I've been hearing about the 2012 TEOTWAWKI date since I was a kid in the 70s... but what I find more interesting is the question of why the Mayans chose the year 3114 BC as the first year of their Long Count calendar.

Common use?! Nope. Individual exceptions...none of which are codified into law.

Write “CE” into your house contract instead of “AD” and the other party will have grounds to nullify a sale after the fact.

CE=Christian era. BCE=Before Christ even!

These profs seem to be bitter,clinging to their atheism and delusions of grandeur.

I've been trying to read this book but it's tough going.

It’s been used in history departments since the 1970s when I was a history major.

Does this mean all the illegals from south of the border will go home in four years?

Interesting, actually, since 2013 will be 40 years of legalized human sacrifice in the USA. The One True God of the Bible loves the number 40.

Fascinating... just from reading the summary on Wiki, I can see repetitions of the Flood myth and the Babel myth.

Skynet goes on line on April 19, 2012. it becomes self aware on Judgment Day, April 21, 2012 in this time line. The I Ching ends on the exact same date as the Myan Calendar, in any case we a screwed.

I think that I read it will be in August 2012 when the 28,000 year Mayan calender is completed.

We shall see what happens.

It can’t be true if Nostradamus didn’t predict it.

I always thought there might be something to this because weren't these the same people who correctly identified, to the day, the landing of the first European conqueror on their shores, who they thought was their god?

“Y2K12

All stone calendars will cease to function!

The human sacrifice schedule will be thrown into chaos!

Stock up NOW on freeze dried human hearts.”

Just what we need; a bunch of bitter Mayans.
What will they turn to?
