It is possible it could end in 2012 but very unlikely it has the same chance of ending on any other day as the predicted date (21/12/12)

relaxxx wrote c'mon guys really? it is fake if you actually think the mayans did not count leap years so the world shoud of ended years ago no one relized this because they are just hooked on 21st. lol its not the end of the world that scares us it is just the build up to the 21st but trust me nuthing will happen

biggest that will happen is that a 3day black out will occur apparently prooven by NASA but tell you the truth 67.88% thats not gonna happen. so dont be scared and just live nothing will happen ok now stop posting these stupid 2012 topics ok.

You don't know much about the subject of what is actually meant to happen do you?

Leap years will be the death of me -_-


The Date of the 21st Is Accurate [Leap Years]
The Simple Explanation
The Mayan calender has Baktuns. Like years but longer.
The last time the Mayan calender switched Baktuns was September 1618, nothing happened. The Mayan calender will switch Baktuns again on the 21st.
Leap Years are pretty much irrelevant when finding the date of the 21st.
They are based on the Gregorian calender, which was implemented before the Mayan tablets were found.
IT DOES NOT SAY '21/12/2012 - END' ON THE MAYAN CALENDER
We are given a set of years and time scales which we must then use to calculate the date that they meant in relation to our own calender at this moment from when the tablets were made.
Any calculations done were done with Leap years in mind.

It still gives us the date of the 21st December 2012 no matter what.

The Complicated Explanation (Based on my research)
Obviously;
a.d = After Christs Birth
b.c = Before Christs Birth

Historical reconstructions have shown that Jesus was actually born in either 4 b.c or 6 b.c.
So, since the Gregorian calendar is based on starting with the year of Jesus's birth, then we need an adjustment.
The year formerly known as 2012 would be called either 2015 or 2017, making a 3 or 5 year adjustment, because there is no zero year.
No actual shifting of real time occurs.
It is simply the overlay of a new system being used.
2017 would then be equal to 2012 in the pre-adjusted system. A corrected year of 2017 would correspond to 2012 in the old system.
You would have to count five more years to get to the equivalent 2012 year.
I really hope you're following this because it gets even more complicated.

The date of the 21st comes from the interdisciplinary work of three scholars.
They worked with dates recorded on long count monuments dated between 300 a.d and 900 a.d The correlation of the Mayan calendar and Gregorian calendars is based upon this range, and gives us December 21, 2012 as equivalent to 13.0.0.0.0.
In other words, the data comes from a context after 4 b.c so there is no need to correct for a 3 or 5 year gap of uncounted time.
More to the point, if for example the Long Count date 9.16.4.4.1 was determined to be equal to May 7 755 a.d in the Gregorian calendar, a predictable number of days would have to elapse before 13.0.0.0.0 was reached.
That number of days brings us to December 21, 2012.

Please stop saying it should have ended in the past or future onto 2012 because it is wrong.




Good day, sir!

...and where the hell did you get that 67.88% from?

What just happened? My brain is like mush after reading that.

Once again, you are a wise man.

The Mayans did use a rather complicated calender, haha

Thank you
