They didn't exactly 'say' it will but their calenders stopped on a date in 2012 and seeing as they predicted a lot of what has happened in the world people believe they meant it will end then.
2012
There is no way to tell exactly when the world is going to end. People say December 21 or 22, 2012. I dont think so because you cant put a specific date on when the world will end, and many people have said the world was going to end and i hasnt yet. but yes, it will end one day, but probably not anytime soon
Decmber 21, 2012
supposedly (predicted by the Mayan calender) 21st of December 2012
No, the world did not end on December 21st, 2012. The belief that the world would end on this date was based on a misinterpretation of the Mayan calendar. It was simply the end of a cycle in the calendar and not an apocalyptic event.
december 21 2012 is exactly when the mayan calender predicts the world will end.
Scientists believe that the Mayans from 2012 A.D. predicted that the world will end in 2012 present which is now. The date it is suppose to end proven by scientists is August 13, 2012 at 11:13 am.
2012 is the end of the Mayan calender. Some say the world will end on December 21, 2012, and that the world will be able to contact the spirit world through prayer easier than they do now. The world will end when it decides to end, there is no certain date. The world will not end. Human life on this plant will. The world will be just fine.
the world will end when the lord is ready for it to end ^ No, the world is meant to end on the 23rd of December 2012 during the night, I'm sure that's right.
No, it is not. And the world might or might not end in 2012; who knows? Only God.
Well, the legend of the end of the world in 2012 is based on the Mayan calendar. According to this calendar, the date of the world's formation is 0 baktun 0 katun 0 tun and 0 winal (these are measurements of time), which is in our calendar 3114. August our 11 B.C, and it is over in 12 baktun 19 katun 19 tun and 17 winal, which is exactly on 2012. 20th of December. By this, the "end of the world" is on December 21. 2012., which is not the end of the world, but a start of another "world". The legend may strengthen by the date of this: 2012.20.12.(YYYY.DD.MM.)
