Like I've mentioned in my previous posts, the world isn't ending in 2012, the human race is. Several people claim that because the Mayan calender ends on December 21st, 2012 that it means that the Mayan's are just switching to a new calender and that it means nothing, but in my opinion, each calender symbolizes a new beginning for a new civilization after the previous civilization has gone extinct. Basically history repeating itself each time a calender ends and begins. So the end of this calendar is symbolizing the end of the human race, and the next calendar symbolizes the dawning of yet another race that will re-populate our earth. So for all of you people bringing up the fact that the Mayan calendar ending on December 21st, 2012 means nothing, well, think again.
The Mayan calender does not "end". It is a cycle, and there are
many dates given well past 2012 in Mayan records that support that assessment. Of course, if you want to believe something for no rational reason, that's your perogative. Do you have specific Mayan texts in mind that would agree with your theory?

But Mayan calendar seems affecting our world, and many said that incident and prediction of mayan calendar are terribly accurate. Now let me ask you, there are many of predictions about 2012. But how can bible, mayan, and ourself can say that in 2012 there will be something can happen? And why Mayan calendar ended in December 21st, 2012 at 11.11 A.M
Indeed, why does our calender end on December 31st? Impending doom, you think? And what
exactly does the Bible, the Mayans, and "ourself" say about the matter (2012, that is)?

Yeah they were real accurate. If they were so good at prophecy how come they never saw that blind side attack from the Spanish that almost wipe them out.
Maybe because the Spanish arrived several hundred years after the Mayan kingdom "fell"? You probably mean "Aztec", or "Inca", no?
The Long Count calender has some significance, no doubt. But I think it's important to separate what the Maya talked about versus what people have talked about what the Maya talked about.
