Be working at a new job, hopefully. If you mean the Mayan Long Count Calendar, nothing will happen, because it's not in the Bible. The Bible supercedes the Mayans.
the mayans created the calendar around 613 B.C
No. The mayans made the calendar and this calendar is what we use today.
Yes and No. It is a countdown from a beginning to and end, but not necessarily the end of the world. The Mayans were amazing astronomers and this intricate calendar is proof of their stargazing prowess. They watched and studied the motions of the moon, sun, stars and planets enough to where they could use them as guides through time. The Mayan calendar is ultimately an astrological timetable. But one does have to wonder as to what they (the Mayans) thought was to happen at the end of their Long count.
The Mayan Long Count calendar seems to end in 2012 C.E. However, there is no evidence to indicate that the Mayans attached any importance to the event, other than that the calendar would start over. This is similar to how we regard the end of a year in our own Gregorian calendar. Most serious scientists dispute the notion that the Mayans understood the end of the Long Count calendar as presaging apocalyptic events like those portrayed in the movie 2012.Another scientific flaw with the movie is that neutrinos, which are supposed to be heating the Earth's core and causing the mantle to shift, actually pass through the Earth without interacting with its mass in a statistically significant way.The movie is a fiction that uses the end of the Long Count calendar as a pretext to film a special-events spectacular. Which isn't to say that 2012 wasn't entertaining--it was. But the events have no basis in reality.
