Are we all going to die!? © Adam vanLangenberg - MSSS

(unless we all happen to be in a bus driven by a guy who suddenly dies of a heart attack and drives us off a cliff)

21 st of December, 2012 Why? Mayan calendar Planetary/galactic alignment Hidden planets Follow the money!

Tzolkin – sacred calendar 13 day weeks, 20 named days

Haab (365 days) – civil calendar 18 months, 20 days a month 5 extra days each year (Uayeb) Uayeb was bad luck

Tzolkin and Haab cycle every 52 years Renewal The Long Count records the days since August 11 th, 3114 BC Bak’tun.K’atun.Tun.Uinal.K’in = 1,872,000 days No leap years means the seasons moved around

The planets will align and cause destruction! They happen roughly every 57 years None will occur in 2012 They don’t do anything anyway 99.8%!

Nibiru or Planet X Comets Asteroids A star A black hole!

Government conspiracy What about non-government astronomers? Amateur astronomers?
