Last of the magic numbers

Today is the last of the magic dates we will see for quite awhile, 12-12-12.  We have had a “magic” day for the last 12 years because we are at the beginning of the 21st century.  The next time this rolls around I will have been dust in the wind for many, many decades already.

If doomsayers are correct, I could be dust in the wind much sooner since 12-21-2012 is less than 10 days away.  I have read up a bunch on the various predictions.  You almost exclusively hear 12/21/12 associated with the Mayan calendar expiring on that date and how that signifies some sort of catastrophic end to the world as we know it.

The Mayans supposedly were pretty good at predicting future events so the ending of their calendar has been interpreted as some sort of impending catastrophe.  I have read about Planet X (Nirubu) returning from it’s enormous elongated orbit and how it’s gravitational forces would literally tear the Earth’s delicate balance of life apart. Well if it was coming we would have started seeing it in the sky years ago so I think we are safe at least for now from that particular doomsday scenario.

Another astronomical angle is that day just happens to be one where there is a rare alignment of the planets with the sun that could somehow create some sort of gravitational disaster.

What I do find interesting is the 12/21/12 date is not significant in just the Mayan calendar, it also is an end point for the Chinese “I ching” calendar.  It has had a red circle on the date from the likes of many prophets including, Nostradamus, Merlin, ancient Chinese oracles as well as more Christian main stream sources like the Book of Revelations.

The good news is if you believe in this theory or think it is a bunch of bullshit, we will find out one way or the other very, very soon.
