Proof/Source?

for starters,

2012 is only one of the possebilities which is converted from the Mayan calender to the Gregorian calender.

Second, 2012 is just a year (like so many other years to come) when the Mayan 'Long Count' will be reset (Starting at 13.0.0.0.0 again). The 'Long Count' is only one of the 3 calender systems the Mayans used and it may have represent for them the beginning of the earth or the beginning of times. This corresponds to, very roughly, a good big 3000 years BC in our calender.

And this fact alone also proofs that the Mayan's believe of the beginning of the earth is very wrong (as we all know the Earth is billion years older).

Thus derived from that you can also safely state that whoever thinks the Mayan calender predicts the end of the world is seriously wrong.

Because not only is that believe based on our Western assumption that the 'Long Count' represents the beginning of the earth (which would be wrong in reality anyways), but it also builds further on that and automatically assumes it therefor means that when the 'Long Count' resets the earth will end.

THE MAYANS DIDN'T PREDICT THE WORLD ENDING

It is just one of their 3 calender systems resetting and starting over again in 2012, just like our Gregorian calender resets each year at Januari 1st!!!

People are obviously way too paranoid, gullible, superstitious, and want to believe in fantastique stories...

Stating that in 2012 the world will end is as accurate as stating the earth would have ended in 666, 999, 1000, 1337, 2000, 3000, or whatever...
