December 21 2012

Yeah, the end of the Mayan calendar.

Doomsday: Is it May 21, 2011 or Dec. 21, 2012


December 21, 2012 Doomsday
Earlier, several scientists and speculators had proposed numerous astronomical alignments hinting at the planet’s demise, based on the view that the calendar of the ancient Mayan civilization ends on December 21, 2012.
There is a range of eschatological beliefs that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21, 2012, which is said to be the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mayan long count calendar.
According to English archeologist John Eric Sidney Thompson 0.0.0.0.0 of the Mayan calendar corresponded to the Julian date 584283, which equals August 11, 3114 BC in Gregorian calendar. This means that the end date of 13.0.0.0.0 of the Mayan calendar, some 5,125 years later, is December 21, 2012 AD.
