Dec 12, 2012 is the end of the 4th life cycle according to the Mayan calender, Norse, Aboriginal, Asian, Hindu texts, carvings, etc.

Each cycle has ended in catastrophe; the 1st from natural events, the 2nd may have been either natural or manmade events, the 3rd from Global Thermonuclear War(Atlantis and Lemuria), and the 4th ends on December 12, 2012 (winter solstice).

The Dutch believe that the seas will rise (according to the global warming people/politicians) thus breaking the levees that keep the North Atlantic Ocean from flooding in. Look up the Zuider Zee on Google & you'll see what I mean.

Things are not going in an optimistic direction, that's for sure. I'm going to DefCon III on July 14th (about 3 weeks from now).

Well, beeing a Dutchie myself I have heard about some people that say there will be a large flood of The Netherlands in 2012, flooding the complete west-side of the country.

However I haven't seen a massive increase on people beeing prepared.. But then again, Dutch people are very down-to-earth and will have to see something before they believe it. As for me, I'm always prepared wink


Ow, and you need to google 'IJsselmeer' instead of 'Zuiderzee'. The name changed.

Yeah, I'd say that's the key to this whole 'belief.'

Wildman,
Why DefCon III on July 14th?

Just like Wiki to keep the Zuiderzee terminology. IJsselmeer gets a mention. That said, hope it does end; I can avoid the decision on whether or not to start collecting social security.

i have not heard anything about it and I'm dutch. I'm also helping to organize a small part of the largest flooding exercise later this year... although that will be organised for a different reason.

I have yet to see people being prepared. Heck the people responsible for the prepare commercials and stuff, are them selves not prepared.
