The Mayans didn't calculate the end of the earth would be 2012, they just stopped counting.

Is there such thing as the end of the world in 2012?
Maybe. Scientist found a calendar from the Mayans, and it is over hundreds of years old. The Mayans had a calendar and predictions about the world. Scientist discovered that the Mayans predicted that the world would end on 2012. Hundreds of years ago, the Mayans predicted that astronauts would land on the moon, and as many years passed by, we have astronauts that landed on the moon! So if their prediction was right, does this mean that their prediction of the world ending on 2012 is going to be true also?....

What will happen to earth according to the Mayans?
Nothing. The so-called 2012 "doomsday" is based on a misinterpretation; that's when the Mayan calendar "resets". Sort of like on December 31, when our own calendar "ends". The idea that somehow the Mayan calendar foretells the end of the world is laughable, considering that the Mayans apparently couldn't foresee the end of the Mayans 500 years ago.
What is the fear of the earth ending?
That we would all die....but the mayans say that in 2012 the world will end which i truly dont belive in because they also predicted it to end in 2002
Will there be a disaster on December 21 2012?
No, the mayans didnt calculate for leap years so december 21 has already passed on their calendar.
Will the world will end in 2012?
According to the scientist, they kind of believe so. They found an ancient calendar that belonged to the Mayans. The Mayans predicted that the world would end on December 21, 2012.

nothing, the Mayans believed that time was circular instead of linear. 2012 is not the end of the world simply a changing of era
Why do people say that 2012 is the last year of humanity?

Is the world destined to end in 2012?
2012 is the end of the Mayan long calendar. The calendar spans some 5,000 years and represents a cycle of the Earth on a complete axis rotation. It would have been quite a discovery for the ancient Mayans to calculate all this. The calendar ending in late 2012 simply means that the Earth's axis rotation is complete and about to start again. It may also mean total chaos, but this is all theoretical and the world is going to end in the far distant future. "2012" being the end of the world is just a movie.
What will happen to earth on 2012?
Only time will tell. The Mayans simply ended their calender on 2012, and of course, just because something ends, everyone freaks out right?

Will the earth burst on 2012?
Yes it will because the Mayans said it would. And obviously they must have been scientists par excellence, or they wouldn't be the economic and military superpower they are today. Seriously, though: not a chance.
When will the earth get destroided?
If you think the earth will be destroyed in 2012, your wrong. scientists say that there is another galaxy that's headed towards us. Dont worry though, its not supposed to hit the earth in 3 billion years. the reason why other scientists say the earth will be destroyed in 2012 is because the Mayans said it will be destroyed. I don't know why they would listen to people who said that the earth would be destroyed already five times but they are very wrong DO NOT LISTEN TO WHAT THE SCIENCETEST SAY. IF THEY SAY THE EARTH WILL BE DESTROYED IN 2012 THEY ARE OFF BY 3 BILLION YEARS! ____________________________________________________________________ I don't think that the earth will be destroyed, maybe the life on it will (From pollution.) but not the earth itself. Think about this, the Mayans had no technology, nowadays we have technology but every doomsday theory has been wrong so far.
