RAINCHASER IS CORRECT IN HER ANSWER AND ALSO THE AGE OF AQUARIUS WILL BEGIN AT THAT TIME. AQUARIUS IS AN AIR SIGN (NOT A WATER SIGN) AND YOU WILL BE SEEING MANY MANY MORE WEATHER RELATED CHANGES AS WELL AS SPACE TRAVEL IN THE NEXT 2,500 YEARS . WE ARE VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE TO WITNESS THESE CHANGES IN OUR EARTHS LIFE

It’s not the end of the world. Back when the calendar was made, they had a budget to do it with. When the money ran out, so did the calendar.

They figured they could pick it up later after the new budget was approved, but their version of Congress didn’t fund it.

It’s the same reason that the Hall of Records at Mount Rushmore never got finished. Ah, but you didn’t even know there was one……

Well, it turns out that's just the end of the world. The Mayans were pretty wise, so I have to assume they knew what they were talking about. I'd be very shocked and appalled if they were wrong.

According to a program on the History Channel, that date corresponds with an extremely rare cosmic event. Our Sun will be aligned with the center of the galaxy. The ancient Mayans used real scientific astronomy to determine dates and events, even if the interpretations weren't scientific. It is also true that the Mayan calendar is cyclical in nature, and this will be the end of a cycle. It is also true that, in the past, the ends of cycles in the Mayan calendar correspond with major events.The Mayan tracking of the heavens is as accurate, if not MORE accurate than our own. Anyone who says otherwise has their facts mixed up.

do you take serious a race that tore the still beating hearts out of thousand upon thousand of innocent "sacrafices" and then destroyed itself?

Mabye the same reason why we didn’t bother programming the thousands place into our computerized years till the late 90s.

They figured the world MUST be over by then, and if it wasn’t, someone would have fixed the calendar.

They didn't. For one thing, it is not the end of the mayan calendar, just the end of one cycle of the mayan calendar. For another thing, they didn't specifically decide to end a cycle on that date, instead they decided to START on a certain date and that just happened to be the end date.
