2012 News

Latest

Here’s an interesting update on this weekend’s 2012 conference in Vancouver. If attending the conference is too difficult or expensive, you can watch it from the comfort of your own home, on your PC. Either live or anytime in the following 90 days, the virtual pass costs $199. A good suggestion is that you could, depending on how comfortable you can make watching something online, have a Tipping Point party - enabling many people to watch the speakers for the one price. More details at GreatMystery.org

The full Cancun conference from earlier this year can be purchased on DVD for $225 or CD for $150

Also, dates for the next two Prophet’s conferences have been announced for 2011: Palenque, Mexico, February 18-24, and the Glastonbury, England July 1-7.

Mayan

War and famine are regularly provided as explanations for the demise of the ancient Mayan civilization. Now, a study of garbage pits by archaeologist Kitty Emery of the Florida Museum of Natural History shows that political unrest is the more likely cause.

The only time that hunting populations of large animals appear to have headed south, based on the garbage pits, is the earliest era, when the region was first colonized by the Maya, Emery says. “Pretty quickly, things stabilized and stayed that way, in what looks to have been a managed fashion, for a long time,” she says.

Studies of human remains led by Texas A&M’s Lori Wright have also shown scant evidence of dietary changes during the collapse period in Petexbatun, finding no evidence of the anemia of increased child mortality at two sites.

Patrick Geryl, best-selling author from Belgium, was recently interviewed by the Camelot team of Bill Ryan and Kerry Cassidy. It is a long interview, but gives a great insight into Geryl and his ideas. Recently Geryl was part of a team that used ground-penetrating radar to prove that below a probable site for the fabled labyrinth are indications that it is actually buried beneath. Flooding of the site is problematic, but Zahi Hawass has said that the site will be excavated. If Geryl is correct, they will find ancient records of great importance.

Here’s the interview on YouTube:

Articles

The first is a compendium of ideas regarding our fate in 2012. Topics covered include CMEs from the Sun, a coming Ice Age, Patrick Geryl’s pole shift theory, the Web Bot, Nibiru and more. The second article is entirely about the possibility of contact with aliens in 2012 (or even disclosure that we have been in contact with them).

There’s no new information, but an excellent overview of many of the non-Mayan aspects of 2012.

Opinion

It isn’t hard to debunk 2012 - there is no scientific evidence that anything bad will happen. However, if you visit a psychic and he/she tells you a double-decker bus will knock you down next week, would you avoid such buses, even though the evidence that it will really happen is lacking?

And given all the disinformation and plain made-up stories about 2012 out there, it is easy to pick on those easier to discredit - such as Nibiru and the “galactic alignment”. A recently released video has Dr. David Morrison from the NASA Lunar Science Institute (Ph.D. in astronomy) debunking the entire 2012 meme. Given that he is an expert on defending our planet from asteroids and comets, it is interesting that this 2012 possibility is not covered…

The video is entertaining, and promotions for the 2012 movie receive appropriate chuckles from the academic (?) audience.
