3. 3 Statement What will be discussed… –Many people say that the world will end in 2012 Well…will it? Or is it just a hoax that is made up for no apparent reason? www.baja.org

4. 4 For Some People have different theories… –The sun, earth, and milky way will align at the galactic equator, on December 21, 2012, the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, and the end of the Mayan calendar. This only happens every 25,800 years! For the first time in recorded history, our entire solar system will move below the milky way galaxy. These combined cosmic events, will be the end of the world as we know it. About 6 billion people of the world will perish in just a few short years if this cosmic catastrophe occurs. img2.pict.com http://www.2012warning.com/

5. 5 Continued… The Aztec Calendar ends in 2012 –Since this calendar also predicted many world disasters could the fact that it ends in 2012 mean it is the end of the world? –Movies were made leading people to believe that it could actually end in 2012

6. 6 Against While researching the subject I found a debate about the world ending in 2012 –“The theory of the world ending in 2012 isn't true, it's just a silly hoax.” (Maytoi) He believes that the Calendar did have to end sometime, and if the world doesn’t end in 2012, people will just make up another date and say that date is the end of the world. 2012hoax.wdfiles.com

8. 8 Expert says… Several experts from across the globe are predicting that the earth is likely to end by the year 2012. –The reason could be a human effect or natural disaster –Reason one: Mayan calendar –The first to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things -- building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and sacrificing virgins.
