What is the story about this? I heard its a rogue planet who will hit or come near us in 2012. Is this what the new Emmerich film 2012 is about? I know some people think its real.

Thanks!

According to a NASA Astro-biologist, it is a non existent hoax.

"According to a NASA Astro-biologist, it is a non existent hoax."

Is this like a double negative? If it's not a hoax, it's real -- right?

Re: Nibiru and Planet X....What's this all about?

The 2012 date comes from the Mayan calendar, which ends, IIRC, on May 5th 2012 - supposedly predicting the end of the world. A number of mostly vague "prophecies' of one sort or another have been reinterpretted to also point to 2012 to cash in on the current interest. The "Planet X" thing appears to be just another example, dressed up in more plausible scientific form. When the sun rises on May 6, 2012, a lot of people are going to be very disappointed. (But not properly embarassed, or any wiser. They will just announce that they forgot to carry the "7", select a new date for the end of the world and start the whole process again.)

Joe

I thought Planet X was supposed to hit some years back.

I guess it is like the transition to digital tv...the date just gets pushed back and will probably never happen.

If one did a search for "end of world prophecies", one would get quite a few results.

Yucatan is in the Central time zone, so I guess the Mayan calendar uses that time zone.

This kills me. When writing a calendar, you've got to get tired and quit at some point. The only alternative is to make a calendar that never ends, and that seems to be the only thing the Mayans could have done to avoid perpetrating this belief. Too bad it's impossible.

Really, the economy could have gone south and the calendar dept was closed due to cut backs.

Well, not quite. As it happens, the Mayan calendar traces a 5,000+ year cycle called the "Long Count." In Mayan notation, December 21st 2012 (not May 5th, as I said earlier) is expressed as the equivalent of 13.0.0.0.0. December 22nd is expressed as 0.0.0.0.0 and December 23rd as 0.0.0.0.1. In other words, the calendar doesn't "end" at all. Like the odometer on your car, when the cycle reaches its limit, it starts over again. The Maya thought this would usher in a "new age", just as the last completion of the cycle circa 3012 B.C.E. would have ushered in a new era and the next one circa 7012 C.E. will. None of these events was thought to be "the end of the world".

Gia's Blog has a pretty good run-down on the whole thing.

Joe

Exactly. In Western culture the next age is popularly known as the Age of Aquarius. So, even though our people have forgotten about our longest calendar measurement, it still appears as a song in a musical.

References to different Ages are pretty slim nowadays. In Egypt you've got the Sphinx in Egypt referring to the Age of Leo -- "when the 'lion' constellation would have risen heliacally (at dawn before the sun) on the day of the spring (vernal) equinox. This event brought the celestial lion to rest due east, thus in perfect alignment with the Sphinx. The Sphinx, in other words, was made to look at his own image in the horizon".

But in the US, our buildings aren't made with any particular references at all.

Isn't it now supposed to be Planet IX? Given that we only have eight planets now...

A "new age"? What exactly denoted a "new age" in 3012 BC? Invention of the thrown rock?

Maybe that's when the Mayans discovered Yucatan Blue.

The bottom line is if anything is going to happen there's not a damn thing we can do about it. No civilization lives forever.

Isn't 12/22/2012 supposed to be the date of invasion on X-Files?
I always thought that Mr Bloodworth's reference to the Mayan Calander and it ending on 12/21/2012 was pretty interesting.

Re: Nibiru and Planet X....What's this all about?

Well, searching in google about this subject I found this website www.hercolubus.tv that deals it but with a different name, Hercolubus or Red Planet. You can request a book about it for free worldwide! and you can also see a video.

I copy the text version of the video from the web so you can get an idea about it:

UNIVERSAL MESSAGE ABOUT HERCOLUBUS OR RED PLANET

Hercolubus, a planet so called by the sages of antiquity, is approaching our Solar System and is the cause of great concern for those who know about such cosmic phenomena.

In our former encounter, Hercolubus put an end to the Atlantean civilisation. These facts are duly related through all the “Universal Floods” of different religions and cultures.

The consequence of the very close proximity of Hercolubus will be great upheaval in all corners of our planet.

The internal fire will bring about innumerable volcanoes and earthquakes.

When Hercolubus is very close, a complete revolution of the Earth’s axis will take place.

Throughout all the ages, great sages have thoroughly investigated the return of the “Red Planet” and have alerted us about this cosmic phenomenon.

The last great testimony was that of V.M. Rabolu, who left a universal message to humanity through his work “Hercolubus or Red Planet”.

In that work, V.M. Rabolu writes:

“When Hercolubus comes closer to the Earth and aligns with the Sun, deadly epidemics will begin to spread over the entire planet. Neither doctors nor official science will know what sort of illnesses they are or how to cure them. They will be powerless in the face of the epidemics.”

“The moment of tragedy and darkness will come: tremors, earthquakes and tidal waves. Human beings will become mentally unbalanced, because they will not be able to eat or sleep. In the face of danger, they will throw themselves over the precipice en masse, completely mad.”

“What I am affirming in this book is a prophecy that will be fulfilled very shortly, because I am certain about the end of the planet; I know it.”

“I am not frightening but warning, because I am distressed about this poor Humanity. These events will not be long in coming, and there is no time to waste with illusory things.”

In his message, V.M. Rabolu points out the elimination of the psychological defects and the conscious astral projection as the only existing formulas to escape the forthcoming cataclysm.

All those who work for their own spiritual regeneration will be taken to a safe place…

IT IS TIME TO KNOW OURSELVES;
IT IS TIME TO TRANSFORM OURSELVES.

If I've learned anything is the past few days, it's that a few SEAL snipers can solve any problem you run into. Bring it on Herculobus, my money's on the SEALS.
