Opinions on the mayan prediction?

People keep talking about it and say we're all going to die lol, Basically i think all that's going to happen that day, is people robbing stores, maybe even killing their selves since they think we're going to die. But nothing will happen. What do you think about it?

    What the Mayans predicted was that the Earth, the Sun and the center of our Milky-way were going to line up, so they decided to stop their calender at that point. That's all, no "Apocalypse" no "Nebru" no "Solar Flares" just a point to end their calender at. The descendants of the Mayans are waiting to start a new calender cycle, just like the way we start a new year.

    The mayan calender is said to be the most accurate calender in the world. However on the mayan calender, it was never written that the world is going to end etc. People invented these kinds of stories as they did not know actually why the calender ends at 21 dec 2012. Religion says something big may happen, this doesnt mean only bad things. There could be a change in Humanity, discovery of something unknown for years etc. People everywhere invented stories of the end of the world on 21 dec 2012. They say they ran out of space etc. This could not be said with guarentee as it is said that the mayan calender could predict many things centuries in future. To conclude, The world may not end on 21 dec 2012, maybe something big might happen and stop believing on all nonsense stuffs people add on the internet.

    I don't think tomorrow is the end of the world.

    The Mayans never predicted the end of the world. December 21, 2012 was the end of the long cycle in their calendar. The reason people got the idea that the world is going to end because archeologists have found Ancient Mayan art/language depicting the god of disaster descending back to his temple on December 21, 2012. This has led people to believe that the god of disaster is their interpretation of the world ending.

    But, the Ancient Mayan's also prophesied that their would be a celebration for one of their kings in 4772 A.D....that is a lot of years away. So, the Mayans believed that the world was going to go on after December 21, 2012. In fact, the long cycle that we are currently in isn't the last cycle, there are many more.

    they did no longer do too properly predicting their own death. I do have self assurance there will be mass panic in December 2012 as people who have self assurance each and every thing in newspapers would be stocking up on fags and beer for the top, and doubtless no longer paying the non-public loan and fees. there will be nutrition shortages or maybe some form of rationing interior the dep. shops like warning signs up asserting basically 2 products or something. there is additionally the religious nuts desirous to make the main of the full element, or advertising tickets to 3 Ark they have outfitted, so sure i think of the worldwide will flow nuts around then. As to the worldwide ending, properly, whilst electricity became chanced on - the worldwide replaced continuously, because it did whilst they split the atom, because it did whilst we went off our worldwide and onto yet another planet, so we shop changing our worldwide my making advances. What I even have self assurance is that there have been circumstances that almost wiped out civilisation interior the a great way distant previous, yet with the form of survivors we are nevertheless here. try discovering countless the myths or the Egyptian Zep Tepi - or first time. ought to it have been envisioned? - possibly no longer, however the Egyptians have been very careful at recording time after that! - or maybe they did no longer make any predictions with regards to the subsequent adventure.

    Well, the Mayans predicted, that the 21st of December 2012 would be the last day in a certain cycle, not that the world would be ending. The 22nd of December 2012 would be the first day of a new cycle. I do not know if I believe that, but it's quite possible that it can happen. The only way to find out is to wait and see.

    The Mayan never predicted anything. They just have a long calendar. It goes like this...

    K'in which is one day

    Winal which is 20 days

    Tun which is 18 Winal or 360 days

    K'atun is 20 Tun or 7,200 days

    B'ak'tun is 20 K'atun or 144,000 days

    And it's read B'ak'tun, K'atun, Tun, Winal, Kin.

    So for example, today is 12.19.19.17.19 and will roll over to 0.0.0.0.0

    The day after will be 0.0.0.0.1 and so on.
