This magnetic shift actually marks the end of the 11 year sun spot cycle.

According to the Wikipedia:

2012 is the target date for everyone in India to have access to a toilet, putting an end to defecation in public.
That would be a good event for mankind, and a bad event fo the many flies.

Actually the Mayan calendar does end in 2012, but a new one will take it's place.

Sunspot cycles are actually measured from maximum to maximum, with 2007 predicted to be the low. You can check it at:

It is not the end of the world; it is the end of an age. There have been four ages before the present one; we are presently in the fifth age, which is supposed to end December 21, 2012. The previous four ages all ended in some sort of natural calamity: water, wind, quakes and storms, wild animals. . .

The first age was the Age of the White Haired Giants;
the second age was the Golden Age;
the third age was the Age of the Red Haired People;
the fourth age was the Age of the Black Haired People.

A Google search on “Mayan calendar” turns up many good links. The Wikipedia entry is quite informative:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_calendar

There is also an interesting calendar at the following link, on which are listed significant events from the Mayan calendar, the Christian calendar, the Jewish calendar, and as well as astrological events:

And your archaeological evidence for any of this is where?

I predict that come the date in question, this long-dead thread will be bumped with some pithy "still here" one-liner tag.

I volunteer to be the one who does it, assuming I am still around.
