Neither ancient or modern Mayans predict anything for 2012. Just check out "Chile Pixtun" on the net.
The predictions of disaster in 2012 were based on superstition but are now entirely lies.
The Mayan calendar was not particularly accurate. They had a 365 day year but it is not certain that they allowed for leap years like we do. It would not matter whether their calendar was accurate or not, what matters is whether prophecies of doom are any good. And they never are. See "A Brief History of the Apocalypse" which sets out hundreds of different doomsdays that never happened.
In any case, the Mayans did not predict the end of the world. All that happens is that the current cycle of their long count of days (which is not really a calendar, just a count) will reach a round figure according to the Mayan counting system, which was not like ours. According to another of their inscriptions, one of their kings will be remembered in our 48th century. If the Mayans still had a government of their own, it would probably be party time as it was a sort of new year for them.
Everything else you have been told, read, seen on YouTube or the Hysteria Channel is lies. Stray planets, galactic or planetary line-ups, bees dying, Nostradamus, I Ching, ancient Egyptians, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish or Christian scriptures, Bible codes, magnetic or geographic pole shifts, you name it are all lies. Most of the bunk is recycled from the ends of the world that didn't happen between 1999 and 2003.
The lies about this multiply by the month as some new fraud comes along and tries to frighten people into buying survival supplies, guns, disaster shelters, lying books, DVD or in to dangerous religious cults where they can get at all the sucker's money.

Do not worry about it, there is no proof doomsday will come in 2012. There have been many times before when people have thought that the world was going to end, and it did not. The Mayans were smart, but all they had to rely on was the stars. Not a credible source, for a while I was freaked out because I thought that a Tsunami was going to hit my town, and it never did you should not be scared.

This is utter rubbish.
Firstly, it is not really known as 'Doomsday", it is known as the apocalypse, from the book of Revelations. And that is why i get annoyed--when people say apocalypse, they automatically thing "OMG its the end of the world!"
The clue is in the title of the chapter--apocalypse means TO REVEAL. It means that there will be a change in our world, yes, but the world isn't going to be hit by a huge meteorite and turned into space dust.
Oh, and the Mayans predicted something similar, too. The date for this was the 23rd of December 2012. It is just folk law; don't be scared.
Of course, if i AM wrong, i'll owe you an apology in the afterlife.

yes i think this is set up for the gullible (sorry no offence meant) nobly knows when the end is let alone some stupid web bot, look at the millenium all this rubbish about planes falling from the sky, computers all breaking down because it switched to the year 2000 and what happened bugger all, its just working on irrational fears so don't worry about it just enjoy the life you have now and stop worrying about things that nobody can predict and secondly this web bot predicted a nuclear war in 2008-2009 well i think you should check your calender its Aug 2009 so another 5 months and its proved to be bulllshite

The Mayans believed Humanity came to be through a gigantic woman with a thousand breasts who gave birth to 2000 men and women.
Why would you trust them on when the world's ending?

nothings going to happen. everyone thought the world would end in 2000 new millenium too. if its ends it wont end in a huge dramatic bang. the end of the world would be the end of humanity, and the planet would move on with the next species. (think dinosaurs.)

what you have not been told is that the myan calendar goes far beyond 2012 - its just one particular inscription that stops at 2012, others go up to at least 3400 (as I recall)
