The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012. Then these two fables were linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 -- hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012. Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then -- just as your calendar begins again on January 1 -- another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.

∙ 12y agoDont believe it okay half Americans say doomsday wont happen and the mayans say it will happen but hey they keep on predicting it an im still alive. So we'll see what happens in 2012. Probably nothing though. I was watching the history channel one time and it said people will be around for a long time. And anyways its just a prediction.
yes it is A myth

∙ 13y agoIn my opinion no. December 31, 2012 was said to be doomsday because that's when the Mayan calendar ends. I think people are wrong because since the Mayan calendar is round it starts over or the Mayans ran out of room to fit more days.
