Why do people say that because the Mayan's calender finishes in 2012 the world must end then? If they were so good at predicting the future they
might have had some inkling that the Spanish would arrive in 1517 and slaughter them. This was effectively the end of the world for them anyway.
Its not just the mayan calendar.Its also the aztech clock that ends at that time.Also note that over this millenium 12years was set ahead of its
normal time.This was due to changes of time made by the vatican(i dont know why),in medevil times they also set years ahead because of a situation
that occurred.Overall through this whole millenium 12years have been set ahead because of leapyears and added extra days etc.So really,in actual
fact,the year 2012 only starts in 2012.I found this out of a documentary called Time,from the history channel.very good doco i must say.
Note that many people who claim the world will end,e.g nancy from zeta talk,claim 2012.
So if you look at it there is many predictions made for that year.And one more important thing,the mayan calendar has never been wrong.So far.
