This has been mentioned before, there is also one with Spock er Leonard Nimoy in 1978 that states the same.

From what I read that original date was misinterpreted. I don't know for sure, since I didn't dig into it that much (I mean, 9 days, what am I going to do?).

Anyway, if the world blows up in 9-10 days, meh.

EDIT: This is the same video that was posted, its got Spock in the second half.

What do you find in the 1st 2 pages of search results for 'mayan end date?' I don't look past that. But feel free to continue.

It was also suppsoed to be 28 October 2011 and that came and went, so I will wait til the end of next year. To be honest, if it all goes Pete Tong before then it will probably be better to be a surprise than what will start happening next year with many people getting up to who knows what as they think the world will end.

As for me, I'm going camping

I'll just go ahead and repeat myself for the hundredth time.

The December 24, 2011 date comes from Michael Coe. In 1966 he published a book titled The Maya. In the first edition of the book he states that his research lead him to the 2011 date. In the second edition of the book, published in 1980, he then revised his date to January 11, 2013. It was then in the third edition of his book, released in 1984, that he settled on the date he still supports December 23, 2012. Also known as the GMT+2 correlation. The GMT correlation, which gives us the December 21, 2012 date, wasn't even published until 1983. What sets the GMT and GMT+2 correlations apart from these earlier correlations is that they looked at multiple aspects of Mayan belief and knowledge. If my memory serves me correctly, the earlier correlations were based primarily on astronomical data. On the other hand, the later correlations were based on astronomical archaeological, and historical data.

Of course this entire conversation is moot as the Maya didn't believe that the Long Count ends after the 13th baktun. That's a whole other can of worms however so I will just suggest you check out the links in my sig.

Nice, I don't have to buy Christmas presents then.

Cool, ANOTHER doom date with ANOTHER YouTube link to back it up that has been posted multiple times already.. *yawn*

Any takers on when the next one is going to be?

OK, so where's my big KABOOM! I was expecting an earth-shattering KABOOM! Or at least a global zombie apocalypse. Or a Great Featherd Serpent God decending from somewhere. Oh well. Maybe 21st Dec 2012...
