Read in the sun yesterday that the reported doomsday event next year has been cancelled due to the hieroglyphics of the Mayan coin being interpreted incorrectly apparently the god isn't coming to destroy the planet he is just moving back in. Just goes to show how wrong you can be time to put the tin foil hat back in it’s box

It is the Sun mind so they could as well be making this up as opposed to relating an actual development; I've not noted any rowing back from the 2012 position meself. Where has this sudden change in interpretation sprung from?

Course it would come as little surprise to have some suddenly start retreating from their grandiose and more importantly, testable claims as the time draws near. Saves the embarrassment when nothing happens, and the mental anguish of restructuring their faith in the face of the stark evidence that it's all a fantasy. They don't want to be Camping on the day after.

I also seem to recall hearing last year, that the interpretation of the calendar had been challenged and that the "critical date" was not for another fifty years, or thereabouts.

Not that it matters.

You read the Sun. I thought only the Mayans did that?

I no what you mean shadow the sun isn't the most reliable of newspapers i must admit and it was on around page 9 as i remember in yesterdays paper. unfortunately i didn't keep the paper but as i remember there was some confusion in the understanding of the hieroglyphics on the coin itself ,due to the wear and tear upon it. hence the new found infomation

The leading guy at the present moment in time (sorry can’t remember his name ) reinterpreted the hieroglyphics came up with the different interpretation that the said god was not coming to destroy the planet but in fact just returning

One of history’s most famous and foreboding doomsday predictions might never have been made, according to a German researcher. His new interpretation of a 1,300-year-old tablet affirms that the ancient Maya regarded December 21, 2012, as a moment of great importance—but not, as some believe, because they foresaw an apocalypse on that date.

The Sun might actually be marginally better than the damned History Channel site, a place where neither history - nor intelligence for that matter - is to be found
