HOW THE 2012 RUMOUR STARTED
I can't remember what year was it when either one of my friends or one of my siblings relayed what the priest said in the mass. I swear that was the first time I guess that I so badly wanted to go to a Catholic mass! The priest talked about the 2012 Doomsday which surprised and amused me at the same time. I was like where the hell did he get that! But then later on I saw this History Channel documentary about 2012, the Mayan calendar, Nostradamus and all the other popular blah ingredients.Ohhhhh so that was it, then put into oblivion the whole kibosh.
Just today at lunch with all the random stuff that comes up into my family's conversation slash gossip slash comedy show, we had a momentary mention of the 2012 theory. It got me asking who started it, the 2012 prediction anyway. We laughed and get on our overly adulterated after lunch chitchat. And so yeah after we ran out of topic and mostly because everyone's gone out to their own business--to work, to school, to siesta--I'm here, researching. Well haha researching sounds grand but whatever, I was surfing the net for whoever or however the rumour started. It was hard at first finding only debates from its believers and non-believers, of people too disturbed to have it called a theory 'cause it's science, etc.
Anyway, I got to the bottom of it and for the benefit of the people who might be asking the same question as I had a lunch ago, LOL, here's what I've found:
A man named Michael Coe, an American archaeologist, anthropologist, epigrapher and author with his specialties on Mayan civilization published this books The Maya on 1966 and Breaking the Mayan Code on 1992. So there starts the 2012 apocalypse speculation. And then there's this woman Nancy Leider. No they don't know each other or anything. It's just that they both contributed to the popular prophecy. This woman others claim was a scientist but then again on her Wikipedia page and other sites, it says she isn't. She's just one person who claims to have contacts with extraterrestrial beings and simply that a Planet X or Nibiru is going to collide with earth. She has this website ZetaTalk and that's where she poured all the bizarre contents of her mind like it's you know normal and true. Anyway, that's mostly that. Added the conpircay theories that NASA's covering up the evidences and all and with 2012 being so near, poof! It became a very popular theory. And more often than not, popular stuffs are mistaken as truth. wink wink
