AnswerThe Mayans did not predict the world would end. That recent belief has come about because of a mishmash of misunderstanding of the Mayan calendar, New Testament and Nostradamus. The proof of this will be on December 22nd 2012, when the sun will rise, the birds will sing and the prophets of doom will sheepishly look out their windows at a new day.

Was the world ment to end in 2012?

No, the belief that the world would end in 2012 was based on a misinterpretation of the Mayan calendar. The Mayans did not predict an apocalypse, but rather their calendar simply marked the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. Therefore, the world was not meant to end in 2012.


What does the Aztec calendar say about 2012?

The Aztecs didn't make predictions about 2012 (as far as I'm aware), the whole frenzy about 2012 is due to the Mayans, who predicted the end of the world during 2012. The Mayan calendar did not predict the end of the world, it was the end of the Mayan 'Great Cycle'. Had the Mayans still been around they would just have started another one. I agree


Why did the myans believe the world will end in 2012?

The mayans obsessed over astrology, and could predict when there would be an eclipse thousands of years after their civilization ended. Also, they did not believe the world would end, they believed that there would be something cataclysmic happening around that time. The calender they believed in was more accurate than today's calender, and it has ended four times before. I wouldn't worry about the world ending any time soon, I would just expect a big natural disaster.


Why Mayan did not predict that they will fall?

The mayans had calanders one of which was called the longcount. something like every 1000 years (maybe a little bit less) the long count would go through a baktun which is like a year kind of. so 2012 will mark the end of the 13th baktun which is the end of the longcount calender. however it was people like the Spaniards then and the Americans now who said that since the calender is done it will be the end of days. but the mayans did not predict this. they have predictions for dates going as far as 4927A.D. so all in all it was not the mayans idea that the world would end but other cultures interpretation.

Is there such thing as the end of the world 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?....

Did the Mayans ever create an accurate calendar?

In their mind, yes. They wrote that 2012 would be the year the world is supposed to end. However, we have technically already surpassed 2012 because the Mayans didn't include B.C. & A.D. dates, which is a 4-year expansion. So if the world didn't conform it's times and dates to that of the birth and death of Jesus, we would be in 2015 right now.
