2012It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine) Nibiru, Mayan Long Count Calendar, and Time Wave Zero
Michel de Nostredame (various “prophecies”) Of beyond the Black Sea and of the great Tartary,A king comes who will see Gaul,Piercing across Alania and Armenia,And within Byzantium he will leave his bloody rod.
Saint Malachy (112 “prophecies” about the Popes of the Catholic Church) 112 Peter the Roman, who will nourish the sheep in many tribulations; when they are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the fearsome Judge will judge his people. The End. ? Prophecy 111 is attributed to the current pope-Ratzinger…that means he has prophesied only one more pope…

Prophets or Charlatans? • Michel de Nostredame (various prophecies) • Father Malachy (112 prophecies about the Catholic Church) • ZechariaSitchen (Nibiru, 12th Planet) • Immanuel Velikovsky (World’s in Collision) • Terence McKenna (Time Wave Zero) • Jerome and Marilyn Murray (Y2K) • Erich von Daniken (Ancient Astronauts) • Jordan Maxwell (Astrotheology) • José Argüelles (Mayan Long Count Calendar Doomsday)
What is it with End of the World Predictions? • God has revealed the future to us through prophecy- eg Eschatology in the book of Revelation • Satan mocks everything that God does • Therefore, contradicting and confusing God’s end of days model is a topic of much interest
Truth in a Sea of Lies truth lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
Satan Clouds the Truth with Esoteric Wonders truth lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
People are Drawn • People like to know “secrets” and esoteric knowledge • Ancient truths made as relevant and masked as hidden by society for selfish reasons • Complex lies draw people in and absorb their time and fascination • No time is spent with the truth because there are so many lies of interest

Nibiru as Babylonian God Nibiru: crossing marker or crossing point Babylonian creation story Enûma Eliš: Nibiru is mentioned as one of the most important deities of Marduk: When Marduk fixed the locations of Nibiru, Enlil and Ea in the sky. When the sky above was not named, And the earth beneath did not yet bear a name, And the primeval Apsû, who begat them, And chaos, Tiamat, the mother of them both, Their waters were mingled together, And no field was formed, no marsh was to be seen; When of the gods none had been called into being. SUN 11 PLANETS
Mul Apin A general compendium of Babylonian astrology. Like the earlier Babylonian star catalogues, Three Stars Each, but expanded based on more accurate observations, ca 1000 BC.
Nibiru as Planet In the MUL APIN, Nibiru is not only linked with Marduk but identified as Jupiter: "When the stars of Enlil have been finished, one big star – although its light is dim – divides the sky in half and stands there: that is, the star of Marduk, Nibiru, Jupiter; it keeps changing its position and crosses the sky." Conversely, Tablets K.6174:9’ and K.12769:6’ refer to it as Mercury: "If Mercury divides the sky and stands there, it’s name is Nibiru."
Nibiru (Planet X) ~3600 year cycle Could either collide with the Earth or pass so close that the Earth’s orbit would be dramatically altered- destroying life on the planet.
Retrograde v Prograde: Polar Shift? Retrograde: motion is in the direction opposite to the movement of something else, and is the contrary of prograde motion. Prograde: having or being a direction of rotation or revolution that is counterclockwise as viewed from the north pole of the sky or a planet
12 Planet Theory: An Extra-Terrestrial Mobile Observatory for the Anunnaki Nibiru ,The Twelfth Planet, is not a planet of our solar system but from another whose star has been extinguished. Nibiru was never visible from the Earth but the star which was the centre of Nibiru’s solar system was visible in the skies from Earth. The orbiting pattern of Nibiru gave the Anunnaki the advantage of having a mobile observatory.
Why Shouldn’t We Worry? • The Nibiru collision idea fails on several basic scientific grounds: • Such an object so close to Earth would be easily visible to the naked eye (Jupiter and Saturn are both visible to the naked eye, and are dimmer than Nibiru would be at their distances), • Would be creating noticeable gravitational effects in the orbits of the outer planets (don’t exist). • Claim that Nibiru hiding behind the Sun? This is geometrically impossible. • Images of Nibiru near the Sun taken by amateurs are usually of lens flares (false images of the Sun created by reflections within the lens) Nibiru ? Nope. Lens flare.

Mayan Long Count Calendar • What is the Long Count? The Long Count is a mixed base-20/base-18 representation of a number, representing the number of days since the start of the Mayan era. It is thus akin to the Julian Day Number. The basic unit is the kin (day), which is the last component of the Long Count. Going from right to left the remaining components are: Uinal (1 uinal = 20 kin = 20 days) Tun (1 tun = 18 uinal = 360 days = approx. 1 year) Katun (1 katun = 20 tun = 7,200 days = approx. 20 years) Baktun (1 baktun = 20 katun = 144,000 days = approx. 394 years) The kin, tun, and katun are numbered from 0 to 19. The uinal are numbered from 0 to 17. The baktun are numbered from 1 to 13.
The Mayan Date A typical Mayan date looks like this: 12.18.16.2.6, 3 Cimi 4 Zotz 12.18.16.2.6 is the Long Count date. 3 Cimi is the Tzolkin (divine) date 4 Zotz is the Haab (civil) date tun uinal kin civil katun divine baktun
When Did the Count Begin? Logically, the first date in the Long Count should be 0.0.0.0.0, but as the baktun (the first component) are numbered from 1 to 13 rather than 0 to 12, this first date is actually written 13.0.0.0.0. Authorities disagree on what 13.0.0.0.0 corresponds to in our calendar. I have come across three possible equivalences: 13.0.0.0.0 = 8 Sep 3114 BC (Julian) = 13 Aug 3114 BC (Gregorian) 13.0.0.0.0 = 6 Sep 3114 BC (Julian) = 11 Aug 3114 BC (Gregorian) 13.0.0.0.0 = 11 Nov 3374 BC (Julian) = 15 Oct 3374 BC (Gregorian)
And When Does It End? Assuming one of the first two equivalences, the Long Count will again reach 13.0.0.0.0 on 21 or 23 December AD 2012 The date 13.0.0.0.0 may have been the Mayas’ idea of the date of the creation of the world.
What Does All of This Mean? • Not much • There has been no evidence that the Mayan calendar is older than ~1800 BC. So the 3114 BC start date is unproven. • The Mayans attached no significance to the end date of their calendar. • And so what the calendar ends? My Julian calendar at home ends on the 31st of December 2009. Is that the end of the world?
So What Should We Do? buy another calendar

Time Wave Zero Time Wave Zero is a pseudoscientific numerological formula based on the I Ching that purports to calculate the ebb and flow of “novelty” Novelty is defined as increase in the universe's interconnectedness, or organised complexity, over time. Terence McKenna, who conceived the idea over several years in the 1970s while using psychedelic mushrooms and DMT, thinks the universe has a teleological attractor at the end of time that increases interconnectedness, eventually reaching a singularity of infinite complexity in 2012, at which point anything and everything imaginable will occur instantaneously. 2009-09-22.
I Ching The most prevalent form of divinatory geomancy involves interpreting a series of 16 figures formed by a randomized process that involves recursion followed by analyzing them, often augmented with astrological interpretive relations.

TWZ and the 13th Baktun McKenna expressed "novelty“ using a computer program- time wave zero. Based on McKenna's interpretation of the King Wen sequence of the I Ching, the graph appears to show great periods of novelty corresponding with major shifts in humanity's biological and cultural evolution. He believed the events of any given time are recursively related to the events of other times, and chose the atomic bombing of Hiroshima as the basis for calculating his end date in December 2012. When he later discovered this date's proximity to the end of the 13thbaktun on the Maya calendar, he adjusted it so that the two dates matched.
And What About This Theory? Well, if you believe this one… God help you- because I cannot.

Who Knows When the End Will Come? But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Matthew 24:36 There are over 1700 verses in the Old Testament directly dealing with Bible prophecy There are over 1100 such verses in the New Testament Over 1000 other verses that directly relate to these Bible contains 31,173 verses ~13% of the Bible deals with Bible prophecy
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 1 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers and sisters, you do not need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 When they say, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them, as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and there will be no escape! 4 But you, beloved, are not in darkness, for that day to surprise you like a thief; 5 for you are all children of light and children of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness. 6 So then let us not fall asleep as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober; 7 for those who sleep sleep at night, and those who are drunk get drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God has destined us not for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing.
