Me. I think its fake. The mayans could have been killed off by their enemy or something. And some random guy comes up to and starts spreadint the "End of the world" Making millions of ppl freak out.
We will only know when the time comes. Until then enjoy your life.
they had to leap 5 days a year compared to our years. (theirs are 360 days) it's very countable (for eatch 73 year we have to count 1 more) and usualy already done when we talk about it
i never believed that the world would end this year, i heard somewhere that they found more mayan calendars. i do not know why people want the end of the world...maybe because they need some attention or because they think they can use the fear of others to get some money.
First, it is now belived by many archeologists that when you reach the end of the calendar, you're simply supposed to read it again from the beginning.
...when was it ever believed by any archaeologist that you were supposed to take it as a sign of the end times? Calendars repeat, that's what they do. Does our world end every year? Our calendar does. Or are things only true if they come from some mystical, conspiratorial source that has no backing and is denied by officials to be true/valid?

The Mayans had several types of calendars for different things.
i do not know why people want the end of the world
Perhaps the best question. End of the world myths have always been present in civilization. Perhaps people are just fearful, perhaps narcissistic in that they believe the world should end before they die, or maybe something similar to wondering how this all got here. We want to know how it will end.

most of these calendars are not ment to go on endlessly like the 1 in question for the 2012 end of the world BS. lots of calendars used by mayas are to count time/days for harvesting and certian prayings and offerings to the gods. their more a scheme then a calendar realy.
That was what it once said on the History Channel.
well their you go. history channel... they are a very good source when it is about known history. and they show it easy to understand i give them that. but everything that isn't well known from the history books. they are inmagening things to make it sound more interesting.
history channel also has a show that promoted the 2012 doomsday. they made the docu in such way it almost was real. in fact some people suicided after the show was aired because they thought it was real and saw no point in living any longer.
Perhaps the Mayans just ran out of room on the rock they were etching. Maybe they stopped with the calendars just to scare us into doomsday beliefs. Maybe they are right. We don't know, we can't know for certain, but as for now, just live your life as you usually do.
The ONLY REASON why this hasn't been declined in whole is because people love mysteries like this, and people love selling it to them. It's merely a way to get people entertained. Besides, with all of our technology nowadays, what did they know that we don't know now?
But that's what makes it fun, don't you think? And what's more blasphemous is that people insist that it could be anything but the Zombie Apocalypse! :P
