Mayan 2012 PredictionsMayan 2012 Predictions

What do the Mayan predictions regarding 2012 and animal deaths have in common?  Does the nearing 2012 date (winter solstice, December 21st 2012) have anything to do with these eerie deaths?

5000 dead blackbirds in Arkansas and another 500 in Louisiana plus 100,000 dead drum fish in the Arkansas river – and that is just in the last few days. Odd events around new year’s day are always going to be seen by some as dark omens and portents of doom – and it is not just the dead animals, there is “biblical” flooding in Australia and an earthquake in Indiana of all places. So, are animals truly killing themselves? And are they doing so en masse?  And if so, what does this have to do with the Mayan predictions regarding 2012?

  • Hundreds of Snapper (1/5/2011)

In New Zealand, so many dead Snapper were floating in the water that boaters described the scene as a “carpet” of dead Snapper on the water.  Fisheries officials were trying to discover why all the Snapper were dead, but they have found no answer.

  • 500 Blackbirds (1/4/2011)

Approximately 500 dead red-wing blackbirds, starlings, and grackles were found dead in Louisiana only a few short days after about 5,000 fell from the sky at the turn of the new year in nearby Arkansas.  One wildlife official said that some of the birds died from hitting a power line.  Well, then why are the rest of the birds dying … a perverse sense of camaraderie?  Come on people – I may not know why the birds are dying, but  DO know it isn’t because of a power line!

  • 5000 Blackbirds (12/31/2010)

At approximately midnight on new years eve, 5000 red-wing blackbirds and starlings began falling from the sky.  Scientists and animal experts have found the cause of death to be blunt force trauma – but that can be explained by the animals hitting the ground.  There was supposedly a loud noise just before the animals began to fall, but no one can offer up a concrete answer as to why 5,000 blackbirds are suddenly dead and littering the landscape of Arkansas.

  • 100,000 Drum Fish (12/30/2010)

Just 100 miles away from the 5000 dead blackbirds and just a day earlier, between 80,000 and 100,000 dead drum fish carpeted a 20 mile stretch of the Arkansas river.  Investigating officials have said that about 95% of the dead fish were drum fish.  The fact that the majority of the dead fish are from one species has led some to speculate on a species specific desease, but no such cause has yet to be found.

  • Pelicans, Whales, Flamingo, Sardines… (2009)

In Chile, thousands of dead penguins were found in March, then millions of sardines washed up upon the shore, then 2000 unhatched Andean Flamingo were left to die by their parents, then 60 Pelicans were found dead.  The animals of Chile had a rough 2009.  Mayan Predictions Source: Time

In New Zealand and Australia, Pilot Whales, Sperm Whales, and dolphins beached themselves in record numbers.  About 450 over the span of a few months.  Rescuers were able to save only a few.  Mayan Predictions Sources: Time, Guardian.co.uk

  • American Honey Bee (ongoing)

“Colony collapse” is a recent phrase.  It has been used to explain the decline of the American Honey Bee.  Why create this word?  Because it helps scientists explain the unexplainable.  And it is a bunch of crap.  There have been talks about viruses and disease, but truly no one knows why the bees are dying.  In 2009, according to Time, bee-colony deaths were at 29% in the United States.  That number climbed to 34% in 2010.

So, are animal (and insect if you add in the bees) deaths on the rise?  And are these deaths intentional?

Many fear these events are foreshadows of the Mayan prediction regarding 2012.  Some even see these as signs of the end of the world.  I do not consider the end of the Mayan longcount calendar to be a doomsday event.  The Mayans did seem to see it that way either.  However, fears are on the rise.

The Mayans claim that December 21st 2012 will be the end of this age and the beginning of a new age.  As this 2012 date draws ever near, many are wondering if these animal deaths are related to 2012.  Are they a dark omen of things to come or Armageddon or the end of the world?
