It does, but they believed that the world began at one date (according to their 3-part calendar), and would come to a catastrophic end at the final date. Then the world would start all over again. I hope it's not true, we plan on going to the movies tonight!

 

lets see.... Im, uh hem... 39, and in my lifetime Ive seen/heard of at least 4 times now that the world was supposed to end. I never buy into it but I do think these nutjobs do us a favor when they buy New Nikes and Purple blankets and off themselves at the last minute.

 

Well we made it. LOL I managed to even touch my car parts today as well. Finally got my basement workshop started. I will say at least in my part of the world this went easier than Y2K. That one was hell with the computers at work. They were all DOS based operating systems and they couldnt deal with the 2 as the first digit in the date. Screwed our labor reporting up bad.

 

Doomsday re-scheduled? Archaeological record suggests Mayan Armageddon is Sunday

Just as the world sighs in relief at having escaped the Mayan Armageddon, the ancient prophesy may still hold true. According to one archaeologist, the end could come as early as this Sunday.
Scholars have not yet solved the ancient riddle, as the Maya calendar has not been fully decoded and correlated to the Western, or Gregorian, calendar.
Therefore the Mayan calendar's cycle, which some argue marks the end of days, might correspond to Sunday instead of the widely-rumored Friday, Carmen Rojas, an archaeologist with Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History has revealed to the Los Angeles Times.
The Mayan archaeological community believes that the surviving pillars showing the Mayan calendar's dates may have been modified throughout history to suit the cultural or political interests of the day.
All of these factors made Rojas believe that the thirteenth baktun cycle, which equates to 144,000 days, or 394.26 tropical years, ends on Sunday, while others say it might be off by a full year or more.

 

Stay tuned! I heard cows and pigs will fly next year also, according to Mayan records!

 

The biggest problem is, Spanish monks destroyed somewhere upward of 90% of the Mayan writings. They claimed they were blasphemous and, that the natives would never convert if they were allowed to keep them.

Doomsday has been predicted probably hundreds of times over the years. If it happens, it happens. I have a plan if it does, quite honestly. No use in being completely unprepared. I'm not going to go out and go nuts stocking up on supplies though. I feel bad for all those guys that have spent the last few years spending thousands of dollars on bunkers and supplies.

 

thats already happened

 

Oh my God.. (I refuse to write it the other way) How long are they gonna drag this out?

 

Probably till the end of the world. Just like weathermen, sooner or later they get one right!

 

Like I told my wife's cousin; I don't need to buy all that survival stuff. I just need a good gun so I can go to his house and take it all! Should have seen the look on his face when I told him that one!
