    Their system was more exact, based upon star and other celectial body movements. It was more precise, than our system (which uses things like seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, ect...).

      It was more exact, yes, because they adjusted the day, year, etc to match, but OURs is more precise, because we have a record of how far off our time is down to 60 digits or so, and we can record the time in much more precise measurements, but we just use approximate measurements for larger time lengths.

          mayans predicted 2012 nostradamus 2013, and the mayan prediction is so close to 2013 its just like not a coincidense, also if you've ever read a nostradamus book you'd know he was a lot more specific than "theres gonna be a face in a cloud", not only that but he had to write in code so people wouldnt thing hes a psychotic mess, nostradamus could be fake or whatever but i believe that people can have a sixth sense and predict the future and i doubt he spent his life on a bunch of bullshit

              I'd bet my money on the world changing polarity. In fact, it's already starting to show signs of it changing. It's going to happen a few years from now up to 1,000 years from now -- or so claims the newspaper. Weh, I think its a better way to die than being blown up by a giant space rock.

              Anyway, when/if the world does end, I'm thinkin' I'm gonna have me a gooood time.

                  whoever said they belive nostradamus

                  HE WAS A LOONY

                  if everyone thinks his predictionsare real why didnt we stop all the major events that he predicted?!?!?! ex. hitler if someone would have read that book before it happened they coulda stopped him, also his predictions are vague

                    I really hope we get advance warning on the end of the world. Like maybe a week. Sure there'd be looting and chaos, but eventually it would sink in that none of that matters. People would steal TVs only to realize that theres still nothing on and pawning is useless because u cant take the money with you when you die. probably by the last day or so people would see the futility in such endeavors and we would all become the loving unified race we always wanted to be. Then we all die the next day. My preferred method of global destruction: Enormous Meteor/Rogue Planet . You know its coming and it ends everything with a real nice fireworks display! Lets all reserve our seats now so we can get a front row view!
                    The gods envy us. Our short time on this world makes everything more beautiful because we know it won\'t last. They have eternity, We only have now.

                      That sounds pretty reasonable, like calm before the storm. But since its in the bible its kinda iffy, I am a christain but because of the way books were copied back in the day, books often had many mistakes. So with a book as big as the bible, there are countless number of mistakes and contradictions in it to be really helpfull. As for the end of the world who knows? Probably will be war, or polution but we'll have to wait and see i guess...

                            For a good representation on the end of the world and how the people react, see the film "Last Night". It's Canadian, and it is one of the best films I've ever seen. It gets Mal's seal of approval* and it's on my Top 10 list**.

                            Mal

                            *Not an official seal.
                            **Not an official Top 10 list. There are only six films on it.
                            "A new take on the epic fantasy genre... Darkly comic, relatable characters... twisted storyline."

                            "Readers who prefer tension and romance, Maledictions: The Offering, delivers... As serious YA fiction, I’ll give it five stars out of five. As a novel? Four and a half." - Liz Ellor

                              What would you guys predict would happen if the "world came to an end." Now think about this, the senario would be, there would be a certain number of signs that would make it obvious to the whole world that the world would soon end. What would happen, do you think? Your opinions can be based off of religious teachings as well, most of those are very interesting...

                                I don't think we will know that the world is ending. It will be like getting hit by a truck- there is a second of screeching tires and then...BOOM!
