YUCATAN – Mayan scholars have updated their doomsday prophecy. The world will end in 2015, not 2012.Oops…. They made a mistake. There’s good news for those who were fearing the 2012 Mayan apocalypse. They counted wrong. The world is not going to end in December 2012. Instead, it’s going to end on September 3, 2015. Update your daily planners!
A new critique, published as a chapter in the new textbook “Calendars and Years: Astronomy and Time in the Ancient and Medieval World” argues that the accepted conversions of dates from Mayan to the modern calendar are off. This coupled with a new book, “We Are All Going To Die In 2015″ by Fritz Barnkopf are rewriting the Mayan doomsday playbook that has been popularized in our culture over the last ten years.
The problem was discovered when researchers realized the Mayan calendar was converted to today’s Gregorian calendar using an erroneous calculation called the GMT constant, named for the last initials of three early Mayanist researchers.
But the GMT constant is completely bogus. “The Mayan researchers of the past twenty years put too much stock in the GMT,” said Mayan expert Robert Wannamaker. “They probably were chewing on too many cocoa leaves. The fact is that the GMT constant is 2 years and 271 days off. We’ve proven that conclusively hear at The Scripps Institute.”
The apocalypse is now delayed. This is a stunning blow to all the merchandisers that were seeking to capitalize on the “end-of-world” prophecy BEFORE the world ends. “Man, I was selling all sorts of 2012 doomsday paraphernalia. Now, I gotta go back and make it all again for 2015. It’s a real drag,” said 2012 fanatic, Judd Barkley.
Hollywood is jumping right on the 2015 bandwagon. Producers are lining up to make the 2012 sequel, 2015. “It’s great for us,” said Producer Tracey Barnham. “I hope that they extended it again in a few years, so we can keep this franchise going.”
Not likely. Mayan researchers are unanimous on the end-of-world data. The world will disappear in 2015. You might want to plan accordingly.
Bad news: we’re all going to die. Good news: We got three more years! Woo-hoo!!!
Wow, do your fucking research, the mayan calendar doesn't predict a doomsday, it works like any other calendar and begins a new cycle. This is getting ridiculous and this article is completely false. Do us all a favour and just SHUT UP.
What? Haha
I hope there will be more delay. Lol
oh you guys. the world'll never ever end. it'll just change, and probably get worse as the years or whatever go by. yeah. more swagfags will be born. eugh
omg you guys are ridiculous
This is bullshit. Nobody can predict the end of the world. Stupid Mayans. I'm sick of this crap. They avesai the end ofthe world is coming for the past 100 fucking years. What makes yo uthink this is any different?
Guys this is all written as a joke. You're idiots for not realizing that. Look at the other stories, you think they're true? You're getting mad about a joke. Hahaha
Steve, you do realize that, more sooner than later, a similar projection will be made and it will be sold a serious stuff and too many people will buy that crap sandwich.
The Mayans didn't make the mistake, white men translating the calendar did.
Jif,….You are SO so right I think its about time these a—-holes took stock of themselves eh Jif , obviously they are VERY very Strange queer suckers that need to get a grip, and stop putting rumours around that are not true…. never will be or going to be. Here is a true fact….'ALL IE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALIVE NOW ON THIS EARTH WILL BE LONG SINCE GONE…BEFORE THE WORLD WILL DISTROY ITSELF ..
Whoever these "experts" are who are studying this, I think they need to have their credentials checked.
“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed."
-Luke 17:26-30 (New International Version)
The answer is that the end of the world will come when we least expect it.
Really? You guys are calling Mayans stupid because other nations have misread their calendars? Mayans aren't predicting the end of the world. Mayans aren't making themselves famous trying to sell Doomsday kits, calendars and memorabilia. If you're going to blame anyone, blame the people blowing up something large. What if you wrote a note in the third grade, and some asshole jock decided to spread rumors claiming you said something you didn't, or mistranslated something? STFU. Don't blame Mayans for other nations not being able to keep their noses out of other peoples' business.
They always miscount when they find out they are wrong.
look for goodness sake the world will end when it ends. i tis most likely not in our time.
may be if we look after our planet better may be it would last longer.
[...] sfârșitul lumii… când zic dumnealor! Numai să corecteze nițel calculațiile și, uite, sfârșitul e pe 3 Decembrie, 2015. Ce obrăznicie! Oamenii ăștia nu știu de rușine. Dar nici cu prostia credulilor nu ne facem de [...]
no one can predict the world will end .only one AllmightyALLAH KNows about the end of the world.
But your allah doesn’t exist.

Uwaaeeeehhhhhhh……. Oops, sorry boys, I yawn
Yeah yeah right, the Mayans did this the Mayans did that. Bet using my head that NONE of those oh-so-great "scientists" have never been able to met a REAL Mayans elder in their pathetic lives (and I mean REAL, not some mumbo jumbo out of nowhere) So people, those of you out there who still have your brains, dont blame Mayan people for something they did NOT do. Their calendars? Oh ya! The last time I've heard, their circles of time expand for infinitely, and the latest version? Expand to another 7000 years.
So……..if anyone of you who can live to that day, and we'll see the apocalypse together, okay?
Dark, I think yours is probably the most sensible comment on here! I have wasted 30 mins of my life, which is supposedly going to end anyway in 3 yrs, reading the garbage that these people publish here!
I cannot believe that people take this nonsense seriously. I presume the article about Facebook closing down was written by them also. What a load of poppycock!
The people who write these pathetic articles need to go for a long walk & get some fresh air…..or get a proper job.
What the fuck are you people doing.
THE FRICKING WORLD WAS SUPPOSED TO END TODAY NOW THERE POSTPONEING A FUCKING 3 YEARS!
Oh just like every time the world will end it gets postponed how strange
Give up scientists were sick of you assholes oh the world’s gonna end opps not today the next day opps not today the next day anyone see a pattern here
I think that i should send all my doctor bills to these fucks do they honestly think that they can keep getting by with this it is so no fair for people to say this awful things and people hurt there selfs or have to live with panic attacks everyday due to these things there saying im just saying its not right ass holes
god please the world will not end in 2015 this is just stupid they always said the world will end but it never ends :so just shut up with this stupid thing that world will end…
i hope whoever wrote this is lit on fire and thrown into a vad of acid because of his stupidity i swear to god this mother fucker is stupid as shit
This is BULLSH*T hahahaha.
Good on you, Vic, I've never heard of SO..O,,O so..oo Much Bloody hog-wash in all my life, This is has just been a huge load of shit put around by these "religious freaks" and would be "believers" that have pea size brains and have nothing to do in their "fucked-up lives" except listen to THIS "CRAP" eh Vic……
OMG THE WORLD WILL NOT END!!!!!!!
Frank Lake, are you still talking you stupid a-s-s..f-u-c-k ??
p.s. People like you and people who believes in what people like you have to say – are such "a waste of space" !!
All of these quacks that are making these predictions are profiting big time off really stupid peoples fears. I read that there are idiots out there that quit their jobs and spent their savings having a good time before the end. How many 2012 shows are there on history channel? How many movies out there? Idiots selling 2012 merchandise. I am extremely disappointed in the median intelligence of our species.
The maya's NEVER said the world was going to end dipshits there calendar ended on december 21 2012 wich western civilization said: 'It's the end-of-world date' well *facepalm* the maya's be blamed for nothing jeez -_-
