END OF THE WORLD POSTPONED

endofworld_postponed

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!!!

    if you read Bible and believe it Psalm 104 : 5 SAYS He has founded the earth upon its established places;
    It will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever. SO MEANS TO SAY WORLD WILL NEVER END !

  2. Carl says:

    guys… you can search it on google.. every year.. there is a doomsday prediction.. NYAHA! what can you say? They are foolers. excited to end the world. Crazy peoples.

  3. KKK says:

    What bothers me about this is: What if the government knows when the world will end, and they give out all these false dates because in the end, we won't believe the real date?

  4. How iphone says:

  5. Tye Redd says:

    This article is just pretentious fear mongering nonsense. Anyone that believes this is real or serious should stop playing Final Fantasy and stop watching Roland “The Hack” Emmerich’s D-list films. He’s not a god or a prophet. Everyone should just calm down and take it easy.

    I mean, the Mayans couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag and we’re supposed to believe these guys?

    White people.

    Seriously just STFU with this shit already.

  8. Damien Fox says:

    Nick Fury: Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.

    IN OTHER WORDS, SHUT UP UNTIL IT REALLY DOES END.

  9. [...] have died, could have disappeared if the world ended yesterday.But it didn’t because it was POSTPONED. oops.. Spare me then my friend for I’m about to share some of my Post-Apocalyptic thoughts [...]

  10. Your mom. says:

  12. Bethany says:

    Oh my god people the Mayans said something huge would happen not that the world would end and I see that the big thing was the Connecticut shooting cause there will be more gun control and every year the world is supposed to end every year

  13. There are plenty of end of the world scenarios still to play out. Obviously, an exact Julian calendar date can't be accurately set based on ancient prophecies.

    An asteroid several city blocks in length will hopefully just miss the Earth on February 15th, 2013. Of course, NASA has stated that there is no risk or danger although it will be the nearest miss ever recorded in history at only about 16,000 miles away!

    Watch for 2013 to be filled with many major events that will have the possibility to change our lives forever.

    too bad.

  15. Jason W says:

    SERIOUSLY!!?? What part of "NO MAN KNOWS" do people not get?? Oh wait I forgot, these rediculous scientists don't believe the bible

    • Feferi says:

      you spelled ridiculous wrong

    • Jason W says:

      LOL so I did!! Thx for pointing it out, I'm usually the grammar nazi!

    • Anon. says:

      Scientists have never acknowledged that the world will come to an abrupt stop in the years after 2012. More thhtan likely humanity shall die from an environmental disaster that we, especially you religious and uneducated bastard have failed to stop.

      And also the Bible is a Cake. It tastes good. But it's a lie.

    • Adam says:

      Are you actually an idiot? Scientists did not predict the end of the world! Mayan believers did! And as for believing the bible.. Scientists look at pure hard facts and search for asteroids, planets and stars that could possibly wipe out the earth with an actual cause instead of stating "Only god knows." Scientists don't believe the world will end for another few billion years when our sun expands into a red giant and consumes the earth. The bible is the most contradictory book ever written where our "Lord" apparently claims murder is wrong and then orders his prophets to murder thousands of people!

    • Terry says:

      Even if they don't believe in the bible they still shouldn't be making such "end of the world" claims.

    • Aiden says:

      please dont call these mayan specialist scientists, they are highly educated buffoons.

    • Jeff says:

      Lol the bible. You mean the book of plagiarism and false hope, right?

  19. Iskandar says:

    Only gods knows

  20. Alastar says:

    Actually this is all wrong, the Mayan calendar did not consider leap year, the end of the Mayan calander has already past LONG ago, Nasa even has a full statement on this.
    Also, the Mayan calender probably ended just like our calender ends and then we get a new one.

    THE WORLD WILL NOT END!

  21. no doomsday says:

    If there is no doomsday in 2015, maybe it will be postponed again and only stupid people will believe those mayans.

  22. Wulby the mayan says:

    BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

  23. Mike says:

    Oh shut up (the so called scholars who should get a new hobby), all of my friends and myself made our own little propechy where we properly predicted that the 2012 thing was wrong and jokingly said that they would make it the 31st and not the 21st. Let's not forget that idiot on the May 21st deal either.

    Seriously just shut it and get a new hobby.

  24. JOE says:
