Some scientists predict this might cause what they call, a "polar shift," which is theorized as an event where earth's poles (north and south) exchange places OR pulled back and then snapped back into place creating a violent upturn of the entire planet.
I've heard of the 2012 event in more than one context, from the usual round of books claiming that 'the Earth will shift to a higher energy plane' (if anyone has any idea what that means, let me know, will ya? ) to the 'polar shift' view of events.
A CBC Radio science program went over the possibilities of a 'polar shift' and came to the following conclusion:
A 'polar shift' such as the one seen in 'The Day After Tomorrow' (with catastrophic floods, earthquakes, birds crashing into things, etc) would take about ten thousand years to fully occur; there would be little to no danger, overall, from changing weather patterns, magnetic fields, or solar/space radiation.
Personally, I'm eager to see just what *does* happen.
well now that would depend on who's point of view it's coming from.Nostradamus is not here to see his predictions come true and the world is,personally I think Nostradamus is better off because of that...
The Fremont culture people also used Rock art to notate dates of celestial events. They painted Orion on a wall in a shelter that the solstices and equinox align to figurations or features. Those people vanished in about 1392 AD, without a trace.
Like any other doomsday prophecy, I think it's interesting, but not really something to worry about. Nobody can predict the future. Besides, their calendar had to end sometime...imagine how tired their calendar-makers were, working that far in advance!
^ i agree. There was a program on a while ago called 'the end of the world cult' they all believe the world is going to end on...well, last december actually.
Im sure we will all be fine. and if not, o well...it's not like we are going to regret not living a fuller life towards the end..because...well...we will all just be dead.
I was flipping thru the channels yesterday and of all people, Jack van impee is now selling a book on the theory. They think the world is going to end around that time. I find it very interesting that he is suppose to be a man of god but he believes in a mayan calendar. The problem is that inside the christian community ignorance is accepted to much. Yesterday John hagee was on tv telling people that you do not need to have knowledge about your faith you just have to do what is asked of you. So this shows the state of the church.
This is somewhat interesting, though I am having trouble finding evidence for some of the bolder claims made in this thread:

Even the 2012 "end times" variety sites didn't seem to list anything but the Mayan calendar.

actually yes they did,they knew exactly the day month and year that they would show up and knew exactly what they would look like,their only problem is that they thought they were gods not conquerors.
I didn't find much here. In fact, the best I could find was a children's book:
Also, when I did a little digging into the various sites, I noticed that there were a lot of references to things like astrology, extraterrestrials, and unsupported assertions like:

Thousands of years ago humankind had attained a high-level of technological achievement. They understood laws of nature that are unknown to us today. They explored Antarctica and mapped the entire globe. They made monuments that we would have difficulty recreating with our modern techniques and equipment...
Then they seem eager to sell you books and things like meditative power crystals.
Suffice to say, I find none of this particularly convincing.

So if it's not in Wikipedia or on the Internet, then it can't be true?
That's kind of scary right there.
Sort of like the flip side of "I saw it on TV" or "I read it in the National Enquirer" therefore it must be true.
Yikes.
Maybe they just got tired of adding to the calender and were going to finish later, but then the Europeans came, and they got busy with other, more pressing matters.
