'We are going to die in 2012' everybody says we are -but why?

In: Mayans, The End of the World, Predictions [Edit categories]

Answer:

According to the Mayan calendar, the date at which the calendar ends is said to be December 21st, 2012. Some people believe that the Mayans predicted a great Apocalypse was going to happen on this date, and that it would be the end of the world and all chaos would break loose with massive tsunamis, hurricanes, volcanoes erupting, earthquakes, etc. Though these details are overwhelmingly scary, there is no proof that this actually will happen.

Personally (don't take my word for it), I feel that none of this will happen. Maybe some major event will happen instead of a natural disaster.

Again don't quote me on anything because it's just my opinion that some of this stuff may or may not happen.

It's up to you whether to believe the world will end or that nothing will happen.

The Mayan prediction refers to the ending of the "Fifth World". What happened to the end of the world at the end of the First, Second, Third and Fourth Worlds was that there was a political change. And so "That World" ended, and a "New World" began. So while the "Fifth World" will (allegedly) end 12/21/2012, a "Sixth World" will (allegedly) begin the very next day. Rejoice! Be happy! And don't be scared, be prepared! Knowledge IS ACTUALLY beneficial.
