Before the world ends in 2012, Mayan exhibition comes to Canada
A collection of almost 250 Mayan artifacts, including objects never seen outside of Mexico, will arrive at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in 2012, the year that the Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world.
This is the way the world ends
For years we’ve been getting used to the idea that the world will end in 2012, as predicted by the Mayan calendar. However, Christian fundamentalists, in an effort to increase their share of the loony market, have now gone one better than the priests of Quetzalcóatl.
Skynet is about to attack. Maybe
Thursday, 21 April 2011 is the day when Skynet, villainous super-computer from the Terminator films, is due to launch its assault on mankind. Terminator director James Cameron alerted the world to the significance of the date with a tweet saying: “Instead of machines taking over, we have the very real threat of global warming.”
Religious group declaring end of the world will begin next month marches through downtown Grand Rapids
Walter Lesiw fished a pamphlet from his jacket pocket. The people nearby shouting on the megaphone about the End of the World had one, too. But, “this is a good one — it’s got more proofs.” This isn’t the infamous 2012 doomsday scenario predicted by those who believe the end of the Mayan Calendar belies the apocalypse.
World ends May 21?
Maybe you’ve seen the signs of the apocalypse. One was spotted in New York. Literally. The kind with lettering. Next to a sidewalk squatter, not far from the Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum. This wasn’t a vague the-end-is-nigh warning. This guy knew when: May 21, 2011.
World won’t end in 2012
The world is not going to end in 2012 and people should not panic because of fears of a major planet or asteroid hitting the earth, an astronomer has said. “No, that’s the short answer,” Professor Jocelyn Bell Burnell told News24 when asked about end of the world prophecies.
Top astronomers warn the world could end within 90 years
The end of the world is nigh. That’s what top astronomers will claim during a debate to end the 2011 Edinburgh International Science Festival. Lord Martin Rees, the Astronomer Royal, believes civilisation has only a 50 per cent chance of surviving to 2100 without suffering a man-made catastrophe.
The phenomenon of 2012
Those hail storms and snow showers at the beginning of this month gave my sister the heebie-jeebies. “The world is ending, you know,” she said. “This is just a warm-up for 2012.” I shook my head and chuckled. I didn’t know that my sister believed in the 2012 theory.
Armageddon? Been there, done that.
What would happen if the world ended right on schedule? Suppose the Rapture came on May 21st or the end of the Mayan Calendar on December 21st really is the end – do you think someone would notice?
Ten Signs of the Apocalypse
My insomnia is back, and I think I know why. As we edge deeper into the year 2011, I can’t help but dwell on the fact that it won’t be long until 2012 is upon us. According to doomsday prophets, the Mayan calendar , the Holy Bible and a rather so-so John Cusack film, we, apparently, have a date with destiny.
