800 Day Countdown

Armageddon: Prism

The Countdown Has Begun!

What is the 800 Day Countdown?

The 800 Day Countdown started on October 12, 2010.

The 800 Day Countdown was started by fellow Hub Pages author, Blake4d.

The 800 Day Countdown is a blog started by Blake4d on October 12, 2010 to count down the days that are left before the Mayan Calendar runs out of days/dates.

There are a ton of theories about different prophesies that are "out there" and some prophecies are kind of "out there" (wacky), concerning 2012, Doomsday, Armageddon, the date December 21, 2012 (and other December 2012 dates) but Blake is taking an in-depth look at these theories via his 800 Days blog.

If you're interested, follow along: The 800 Days Blog by Blake4d.

It Ain't Over 'Till It's Over !!!

Nobody knows what's going to happen in December 2012 but it's less than 800 days away!

If there really IS reason to worry about some sort of global catastrophe (as some people believe Nostradamus warned about in his writings/prophecies), then what are you doing for the next 800 days or so?

Some people who believe that Christian or other religious scriptures tell of various "end of the world" or "end of this age" or "return of Christ" theories/possibilities are waiting for Jesus to return or for an alleged God to turn our world around, end the evil in the world, take up the righteous ones and leave behind or destroy the sinners in the world. Some people, scientists included, think something is going to crash into the planet Earth in December 2012 or that something is going to happen in the Earth's core because of some magnetic and planetary alignments that are predicted to happen in December 2012..

...the theories and beliefs are too numerous to list here... but many of them will be examined on The 800 Days blog.

All that can be said with any certainty is:

It Ain't Over 'Till It's Over!!!

IAOTIO

Listen to What Lenny Says - It Ain't Over 'Till It's Over!!!

Want To Keep Up?

Do you know some theories about "end world," "Mayan Calendar tidbits," "Doomsday" and Enlightenment information that is supposed to pertain to the end of the Mayan Calendar?

Maybe you're not very "in the know" about these things - but would like to know more...

I know I want to know more and find the topic of "2012" fascinating!

Therefore, I am following The 800 Days blog very closely to see what sorts of theories pop up and what kind of information gets posted there. Blake's inviting anyone and everyone to stop by and read as the 800 days, articles, charts, comments unravel...

Here's Blakes HUB on HP about the project: The 800 Days Blog Hub

And

A more in-depth article about the project: The 800 Days

My "Follower" Blog

I got so interested in this project that I started my own blog about it...

I've already invited you to follow the 800 Days material, so now I'd also like to invite you to follow along at my "follower" blog:

Following Blake4D's 800 Days Blog

On my blog, I have been reviewing some of the articles found on the 800 Days blog and I've also added a few reference tidbits (small Glossary for now - more to come later) for those who are completely new to 2012 theories and esoteric topics. I will keep adding more as I see fit but if there's something from either my blog or Blake's 800 Days blog that you find very confusing, be sure to message and let me know. I might be able to answer questions or I might be able to find an article that answers some questions being asked.

So far, Blake is a few days ahead of me in posting - and that's just fine by me - but I do plan on staying within 3 days of Blake's regular posts.

NEW! As of December 20 2010 - CHAT Live

I managed to get a chat widget working on the Follower Blog.

Stop by sometime and chat. On the chat page, a status notification will be posted from day to day so that you know the most likely times that Blake or Myth2009 (moi) might be logged in and ready to chat.

Although it's useful to register once you get to the chat, it's not mandatory. You can chat as a guest.

Here's the chat live page: Chat LIVE on the 800 Days Follower Blog chatpage

And don't worry - as far as privacy goes, I've noticed that the chat clears once you "refresh," so if you want to clear the screen, just refresh in your browser and you won't have to worry about text being saved anywhere (I know some people don't like "instant messengers" because the programs are confusing as to where they save text chat, etc).

Pure folly! But fun folly it is. I was just reading a forum entry the other day, the person had 1111 followers, I did not follow because I did not want to mess up his cool number. LOL

Hi SteveoMc! Thanks for the comments. I agree that some of the information surrounding 2012, Mayan Calendar, Doomsday, etc., is bunk-ish but much of it is quite interesting. It is interesting to try an understand what people in large crowds lean toward as far as beliefs about the future. Many beliefs are so pessimistic that I can't believe some of us survive from day to day... but that's part of why I am interested in following/engaging in this 800 day countdown.

If my "follower" number looks really "cool" I hope you'll mess it up if you feel like following sometime lol

Howdy Mythbuster,

Been a little while, I too am a believer in the ultimate end, but it has nothing to do South America. I thought researchers put out an article that they misunderstood the Mayan calendar, stating that they were still off another 50 years? It was on Yahoo last week…hmmn. Good Day Sir.

Mr. Manning - I didn't actually notice the article you've mentioned but will do a search on it... or Blake will probably have it all explicated by now and I'll definitely be asked to have a look at it for the 800 Follower blog, I expect. Thanks for stopping by. I'd like to hear what you believe about the "ultimate end." I'll go browse over at your profile - you might already have something written on this or a related topic.

We should read Magnoliazz hub on solar flares and the destruction its likely to cause which is around the same time as the Mayan Doomsday prediction!! Either way, we have to believe that something is gonna happen to this planet Earth!!

I will now hop to Blake's hub to see what's happening there!!

Cheers(until the doomsday)!!

Hi, I know we are going to have a lot of solar flares because I have a friend with a very large telescope and about 5000 maps and charts! to say he is astronomy mad would be an understatement! ha ha but I think the 2012 thing is just the fact that the Mayans couldn't count to 2013! lol cheers nell

I am so excited, Thank you so much for my wonderful mention on your profile. I blush.

I really must get back to writing. I took too long a break from my Hub friends!

I just hope the world doesn't end before I write some really entertaining ones.

This was as always a great read with lots of thought.

Nell Rose, perhaps I will add your theory to the "Follower" blog lol

Blake, I am thoroughly enjoying the layout and articles from the 800 Days project... learning a lot and being prompted to stretch my perception at least a little bit. This project gives me some focus for study now that I'm out of formal classes for a while.

Hello sarovai. Thanks for stopping by to read and comment. Is there any particular reason (or theory) you hold to that makes you believe that "Everything should come to an end" in 2012?
