The Mayans never said the world would end in 2012. Their calendar will end a very long cycle, much like the way our calendar had an "odometer roll" moment from 1999 to 2000. Modern-day hobbyists have hyped the turn of the Mayan calendar into a doomsday scenario, but with no basis in reality.

The ending of the world is not 2012 miscalculation?

It is not that the world is ending...it's the end of the Mayan Calendar. The reason the Mayan Calendar ends is because, for the first time in the history of the world, the planets will be aligned exactly as they when they started the calendar.


If the Mayan calendar is so acurate why was it wrong about 2000 and why does it have another date to die?

The idea that the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world in 2000 is a misconception. The Mayan Long Count calendar simply marked the end of a cycle, not the end of the world. The December 21, 2012 date associated with the Mayan calendar was misconstrued as the end of the world, but the calendar itself does not predict the end of existence.


Why 2012 is chosen to the end of the world?

According to the ancient Mayan calender, 2012 is the end of the world. There is a myth that says that the Mayan calender has never been wrong before. However, I wouldn't get too worried if I were you-there is absolutely no factual evidence that the world will end anytime soon.


Will the world end in twenty twelve?

No it will not - this is just another Internet and Hollywood hoax. The film 2012 is ridiculous and has no scientific bearing. As for the world ending due to the Mayan calender is as ridiculous as the world ending at 2000 - and did it?? The world will be here in 2012 and all those who worried will feel pretty stupid.

Who pridicted that the world ends?

Many people have predicted many dates for the end of the world. Obviously, so far they have all been wrong--except that there are still predictions about future dates. We won't know for sure that these are wrong till the time comes and passes. See the related link for a list of doomsday predictions.

Where will the world end first?

If you are talking about 2012...... the world is NOT end. The only reason people say that is because the Mayan calender is ending on December 28, 2012and people say the world is going to end but it is NOT. The calender will end and then start a new cycle.
