Why is the Mayan calendar wrong?

The Mayan calendar is often perceived as "wrong" due to misconceptions about its end date, which was misinterpreted as predicting the apocalypse in December 2012. In reality, the Mayan calendar is cyclical, meaning it does not signify an end but rather a transition to a new cycle. Additionally, differences in cultural interpretations and the complexities of calendar systems can lead to misunderstandings about its accuracy. Ultimately, the calendar reflects the Mayan civilization's sophisticated understanding of time rather than a failure in its calculations.


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.


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.


How can there be any valiant to the Mayan's predictions for 2012 when the mordel day calendar is based on the birth of christ?

The Maya did not base their calendar on the birth of Christ. The Maya based their calendar on the phases of the moon and venus and the position of the sun. The year 2012 is simply our equivalent to the same time on the Mayan calendar.
