Well now this was probably a fatal mistake. The Mayans of course have identified 2012 as the the time to expect the end of the world. Opening up this entrance to the underworld...what is wrong with those people? Haven't they seen the movies? Such portals, when disturbed by the hubris of humans, always wind up releasing some sort of Satanic power into the world and havoc follows.

This could be the very thing which starts the ball rolling on a pattern of calamity and destruction resulting in ......

KABOOM!

Oh, come on. You know the Mayan calendar probably quit right there because some Spaniard's showed up and executed the calendar maker for blasphemy.

Nobody else was willing to continue it.

I have a friend who works as an archeologist in Mexico. He told me once (many years ago) that the mayan and Aztex calendars are based on a different number system with different start dates. doesn't this mean that 2012 while a relatively good movie is off by years so our 2012 wouldn't be
their 2012. Does any one who is a professional in this field care to comment? Post scriptum I don't think that a movie is a
very good basis for a belief or any part of reality

The person/s responsible for that Mayan calendar probly died, which is why it stopped at 2012? <g>.

As for the world exploding, I am of the opinion that all these holes we are putting in the earth will eventually destabilise the earths crust which will inevitably create some undesirable outcomes for the planet.

I'm not a nut case either, but with the molten core under pressure combined with the continual perforation of the earths crust, something will have to give at the end of the day surely? The earths crust is becoming more honeycombed as each day passes. I doubt I'll be around to experience the result, but someone surely will sometime in the future.

I believe that I can ease your anxiety in this matter. Consider the Earth's atmosphere, it extends 60 miles above the surface and whenever you see it depicted in pictures, surrounding the planet, it always looks huge. They do that so we can see it. If it was depicted to actual scale, the immensity of the earth would reduce it to something like adding a couple of coats of paint to a volleyball.

The deepest human engineered hole ever dug was a mine in the Soviet Union which in the 1970's, reached 7.5 miles beneath the surface. That is like three coats of paint applied to the inside skin of the volleyball.

We have come nowhere near the core, all our holes could at best be described as giving the planet a slight case of internal acne.

We have made mere pinpricks.
