Most people/cultures/cults/religions that predict a date for the end of the world predict that it will end within their lifetime, it's unusual to find someone claiming the world will end in a few thousand years as it usually works against their motives (controlling others, getting money, power).

How long before we found out what would happen on that day as far as movement of the planets goes?

I don't think the world will end on that day, but just the fact that they figured all this out so long ago amazes me.

i think many people have super imaginations.

Cayce said we would see Japan and Florida go under water before the end times, and California too, so I'm waiting and watching.
The History Channell did a great TV show on the subject of the Mayan Calender and 2012, if you get a chance to see it.
Here is an interesting link on the subject:

I can tell you certainly that I will be stoned and ready that day!

If the sun storms hit us, it could be only a matter of hours before we know it; if the galactic alignment affects us, we could know that almost immediately.

Can someone please supply a link to explain more of this celestial alignment scenario? I don't understand how the position of planets within our galaxy can have such a negative impact on the creatures of Earth.

Just google galactic alignment----a bunch of stuff comes up. What I know is from different documentaries I have watched on National Geographic and The History Channel.

guys the scientific fact is that once this date occurs and everything is lined up the fear is that the poles will reverse, the magnetic poles that it. the fear is that this will cause the earth to actually stop rotating and start spining in the other directtion. the south pole will become the north and on your compass and vise versa.

there is proof in the geological record that shows that the earths magnetic feild has reveresed many times. hence this 26,000 year cycle.

reaserch it for it is proven. somthing to do with ancient lava flows which have metals in them and when the become solid the point towards the true north of that time period. its all recorded in the earth they have found it. it will happend. but since humans and prehumans have been here for 100's of thousands of years they have lived through it before and we will live through it again. just might get really bad cuz all the tech will get messed up satilites power grids and such.

im sure it aint gonna be pretty.

Here's a new one for you 2029 on friday the 13 an astorid will pass by earth close enough to see with your eye and if this astoorid would happen to hit were died.

If you do some research on the poles, you will see that magnetic north has moved significantly in the last 100 years. I don't know if it has to do with the planets aligning or not, but it has moved.
