Absolutly nothing well happen it is a different type of calender. lions calender or something like that.

Do you mean "Mayan"?  It actually derives from earlier meseoamerican Aztec and Olmec calendars.

 I think we will be alright. People put a lot of different mombo jumbo stuff out there for entertainment,to get paid, or to scam you. Don't believe the hype!

Whatever will happen will happen when it will happen. There is really no way to predict the future. Some guess somethings right most guess things wrong but it is only a guess.

does anyone think they know what will happen? I hope nothing.

Just wondering exactly as to what you are referring too

The context is the Mayan calendar's long-count cycle renewal on winter solstice; 12-21-12.

Are you sure this isn't some of that "mombo jumbo stuff"?

I've heard that lions like their calendars filled with plenty of mombo jombo stuff.....

Experts estimate the system starts counting at 3114 B.C., and will have run through 13 baktuns, or 5,125 years, around Dec. 21. Experts say 13 was a significant number for the Maya, and the end of that cycle would be a milestone — but not an end.

Fears that the calendar does point to the end have circulated in recent years. People in that camp believe the Maya may have been privy to impending astronomical disasters that would coincide with 2012, ranging from explosive storms on the surface of the sun that could knock out power grids to a galactic alignment that could trigger a reversal in Earth's magnetic field.

Mexican government archaeologist Alfredo Barrera said Friday that the Maya tried to make predictions, but perhaps about more humdrum events like droughts or disease outbreaks.

"The Mayas did make prophecies, but not in a fatalistic sense, but rather about events that, in their cyclical conception of history, could be repeated in the future," said Barrera, of the National Institute of Anthropology and History.

Experts stressed that the ancient Maya, whose "classic" culture of writing, astronomy and temple complexes flourished from the year 300 to 900, were extremely interested in future events, far beyond Dec. 21.

"There are many ancient Maya monuments that discuss events far into the future from now," wrote Geoffrey Braswell, an anthropologist at the University of California at San Diego. "The ancient Maya clearly believed things would happen far into the future from now."

"The king of Palenque, K'inich Hanaab Pakal, believed he would return to the Earth a couple of thousand years from now in the future," Braswell wrote in an email to The Associated Press. "Moreover, other monuments discuss events even before the creation in 3114 B.C."

..Only a couple of references to the 2012 date equivalency have been found carved in stone at Maya sites, and neither refers to an apocalypse, experts say.

Such apocalyptic visions have been common for more than 1,000 years in Western, Christian thinking, and are not native to Maya thought.

"This is thinking that, in truth, has nothing to do with Mayan culture," said Alexander Voss, an anthropologist at the University Of Quintana Roo, a state on Mexico's Caribbean coast. "This thing about looking for end-times is not something that comes from Mayan culture."

Braswell compared the Maya calendar, with its system of cycles within cycles, to the series of synchronized wheels contained in old, analogue car odometers.

"The Maya long count system is like a car odometer," Braswell wrote. "My first car (odometer) only had six wheels so it went up to 99,999.9 miles. That didn't mean the car would explode after reaching 100,000 miles."

nothing will happen to us. Do not worry the world will not end of this fiscal year.

Me personally, I believe is somthing happens it will not be when we expect it to it will come like a thief in the night, and I think it will be gradual.  I have not went to church or anything in awhile, but I think and trust what the bible says on this stuff.  I dont know why exactly why I stopped going other than feeling like everyone is judging me and puting me down and I quit going.  I know we are all not perfect but with my health the way it is and my depression everyone knew I was on the edge and I was attack with words and than they started on myson and he quit going as well.  We should not give that power to anyone but I have and now its hard for me to get back in the routeen.

The reference is to the end of a Mayan calendar cycle and beginning of another,  It has nothing to do with unrelated biblical non-predictions or religious beliefs.
