David Icke - 2012 Is A Hoax

[Mrmcnuggets Profile]

What if,

thousands of years ago the ETs were here and there was an artificial mutation, changing our genes. So we are partly terrestrials because we are like evolution, and partly we are extraterrestrial.

Well, these ETs, when they left us, they promised to return and they will return. Now we have one possible date – that’s this Maya date, you know – 2012 but you cannot fix the date, not even with the Maya calendar because the Maya calendar -- you have first to calculate into our calendar, and this calculation is wrong.

We count 2012. That means 2012 since the birth of Christ. But if this is wrong, the figure 2012 is wrong, too. Maybe they started 30 years later with counting. It’s all a mess.

But one thing is definitely sure: They will return. They promised it. We have written reference to that. They will definitely return to Earth, and every culture in the past had this expectation of the re-coming of someone – be it the Maya, the Inca, the Egyptians – they all were expecting somebody.

The Christians, they wait for the re-coming of Jesus Christ. The Muslim community waits the return of the Mahdi. The Jewish society awaits the return of the Messiah...

Welllll.....

The Mayan Calendar is run off of two cogs, for the yearly calendar. One 260 day short count calendar. Which is for the days(specific, monday-sunday) of the week, and for (dont hold me to the exactness) "every emotional instinct man kind can experience." Then, there is the 365 long day count. Which is for how long it takes our planet to make one year. The co-existence of the 260 day count being inside the 365 day count, is that the 260 would essentially turn the 365, deciding which day it would be, through out its 1 year travel. This worked easier for them than our "Gregorian" calendar, which uses leap years instead to balance the fact we start our week on sundays, and end on saturday.

So yeah, 2012 could be off due to the changes between the gregorian system, and the mayan system. Though the Mayan calendar was made after jesus was dead.

The 260 day count is commonly known to scholars as the Tzolkin, or Tzolk'in in the revised orthography of the Academia de las Lenguas Mayas de Guatemala.[4] The Tzolk'in was combined with a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haab, or Haab year' , to form a synchronized cycle lasting for 52 Haabs, called the Calendar Round. Smaller cycles of 13 days (the trecena) and 20 days (the veintena) were important components of the Tzolk'in and Haab' cycles, respectively. The Calendar Round is still in use by many groups in the Guatemalan highlands.[5]
A different calendar was used to track longer periods of time, and for the inscription of calendar dates (i.e., identifying when one event occurred in relation to others). This is the Long Count. It is a count of days since a mythological starting-point.[6] According to the correlation between the Long Count and Western calendars accepted by the great majority of Maya researchers (known as the Goodman-Martinez-Thompson, or GMT, correlation), this starting-point is equivalent to August 11, 3114 BCE in the proleptic Gregorian calendar or 6 September in the Julian calendar (−3113 astronomical). The GMT correlation was chosen by John Eric Sydney Thompson in 1935 on the basis of earlier correlations by Joseph Goodman in 1905 (August 11), Juan Martínez Hernández in 1926 (August 12), and Thompson himself in 1927 (August 13).[7][8] By its linear nature, the Long Count was capable of being extended to refer to any date far into the past or future. This calendar involved the use of a positional notation system, in which each position signified an increasing multiple of the number of days. The Maya numeral system was essentially vigesimal (i.e., base-20), and each unit of a given position represented 20 times the unit of the position which preceded it. An important exception was made for the second-order place value, which instead represented 18 × 20, or 360 days, more closely approximating the solar year than would 20 × 20 = 400 days. It should be noted however that the cycles of the Long Count are independent of the solar year.
Many Maya Long Count inscriptions contain a supplementary series, which provides information on the lunar phase, number of the current lunation in a series of six and which of the nine Lords of the Night rules.
A 584-day Venus cycle was also maintained, which tracked the heliacal risings of Venus as the morning and evening stars. Many events in this cycle were seen as being astrologically inauspicious and baleful, and occasionally warfare was astrologically timed to coincide with stages in this cycle.
Less-prevalent or poorly understood cycles, combinations and calendar progressions were also tracked. An 819-day Count is attested in a few inscriptions. Repeating sets of 9-day (see below "Nine lords of the night")[9] and 13-day intervals associated with different groups of deities, animals, and other significant concepts are also known.

Hope that helps guys.
