Mayan archaeologists met in Guatemala and confirmed the end date for the Mayan Prophecy is December 21, 2012. That’s when the world will end.
Archaeologists reportedly reviewed a newly discovered 1,300 year-old Maya text that provides only the second reference to the “end date” of the Maya calendar on December 21, 2012. The discovery, one of the most significant hieroglyphic find in decades, was announced at the National Palace in Guatemala. Al Gore was in attendance, representing the United States.
“This text talks about ancient prophecy,” says Marco A. Comito, Director of Tulane’s Research Institute and co-director of the excavations at the Maya ruins of La Corona. “This new evidence suggests that the 13 Bak’tun date was an important calendrical event that would have been celebrated by the ancient Maya,” says Comito.
Archaelogists from Rutgers University in New Jersey and the University of Rome went on to say that the end date for the world is clearly stated in the hieroglyphics.
“They knew how long the world would last and they were extremely confident about the apocalypse. They were much more advanced they we are today,” said Professor Katya Malley of Rutgers. ”I wouldn’t make any long-term plans. There’s no need to buy Christmas presents.”
The archaeologists gathered at “Site QQ” in Guatemala. Site QQ is the source of many looted sculptures whose whereabouts had remained a mystery until its rediscovery only fifteen years ago.
In 2012, archaeologists excavated in front of a building that had been heavily damaged nearly 40 years ago by looters looking for carved stones and tombs. “Last year, we realized that looters of a particular building had discarded some carved stones because they were too eroded to sell on the antiquities black market,” said archaeologist Tomas Barbarinto, “so we knew they found something important, but we also thought they might have missed something.”
In fact, in 2012, excavations not only recovered 10 more discarded hieroglyphic stones but also something that the looters missed entirely—an untouched step with a set of 12 exquisitely carved stones still in their original location (in total, 22 carved stones were recovered). Combined with the known looted blocks, the original staircase had a total of no less than 264 hieroglyphs, making it one of the longest ancient Maya texts known, and the longest in Guatemala.
Several archaeologists said that the discovery of newly carved stones not only have great historical importance but these new stones offer the final definitive proof that the world will end.
“There have been a lot of reports and editorials stating that the Mayan prophecy is a hoax or that the predictions will prove to be false, but almost all the predictions of the Mayans have come true. If you were a betting man, you’d bet on the world ending. I am,” said Professor Malley.
What do you think? Will the world end or not?

Because the mayans clearly get to decide when the world ends. Makes perfect sense.
I live in New Zealand which means it is already the 21st of December. Obviously, i am fine, as i am finding the strength to write this comment. Waiting for 'the end of the world as we know it' has never been so.. tedious.
I am alive, nothing has changed.
Tomarrow is going to be a fun damn day at school!
may be some one would have asked to say some joke .. so that mayan would have written this that time
i guess that day may be april 1st so that x mayan would have written this to fool another mayan y
I cant believe some people that read and write this crap!!! The world may end someday and no one knows how or why or when. All these "so-Called" scientist, archaeologist and writers who think they know things need to go jump off a cliff so theres more room for the rest of us. The only thing we should be afraid of is overcrowding and not enough crops or food for everyone. The universe or Earth or whatever God you believe in has a plan. A way to control population, disease, famine, war, etc… Nothing is ever certain and dont take what you have for granted and when you wake up tomorrow and your still breathing…go find a loved one and tell them how much you love them. if your so worried about the world ending maybe you should change your lifestyle a little bit and quit sinning so often. There it is and thats what is was and is gonna be…TRUTH!!!
OMG its true..
The WORLD of fake news about the end of the world is ending….
Firstly, You all typed end of the world into your search engine. The world is an object. An object cannot 'end'. To the people who are writing such nonsense, remember that there are children reading this website and you are frightening them with your ignorant comments. Stop being so inconsiderate and selfish. Some people are actually incredibly frightened about this and you could be in a lot of trouble if you are seen to have contributed to making people so frightened that they do something horrible to themselves. So stop it. For goodness sake!
i myself is absoultely terrified and im 29
xxx
I didnt even mean to get here. I was looking at a 2pac article and i accidentally clicked. BTW im a kid and im not stupid enought to believe iin this crap.
Mind your children better, or maybe try an intimate and honest communication. But, try not to be the idiot that thinks he actually knows anything. You don't, I don't, and nobody really does.
You are right the world will not end. You are also wrong, all objects have an ending. In 5 billion years or so the sun will burn out and destroy the earth. This is a simple fact, everything that enters this world will perish at some point including the earth it's self. On the bright side our existence is totally meaningless so it doesn't matter anyhow.
Thats right whats it called induceing panic .. i knew somone who got into big trouble for that durying Y2K .. IF IT ENDS IT ENDS !!! tell me what are we going to do about it anyway ?? just make sure your right with god everyday ! God does not give us the sprit of fear as a matter of fact he tells us not to worry about anything… think people!! There is nothing to worry about! NASA even said its impossable for them things to go on with earth in December .. they studie these things.. do not be frightend .. Just trust God! we will be here for Christmas trust me.
Its a joke….this site is a joke…..it has been a joke since the 70's….they do this to get your reaction….
im 15 and it scares me abit i mean…. im well educated and deep down i know it wont but… it gets you thinking
Thank you very much for saying that because I don't belive this but I am kind of scared and I am only 11 years old:(
how can an object not end?
lives are objects… they end dont they?
the world is a living organism and could simply stop or end. not saying it will, but the world be an object has nothing to do with it
Now I am in 21-12-12 I am alive god is great
what country?

i'll be reading this tomorrow for a really good laugh
Oh man!!! I turn 18 on the 22nd, hope the world doesn’t end, I’ll be devastated lol, it looks like the kiwis are just fine at the moment, so maybe we will survive.
its the 21st already in china the world didnt end
Archeologists themselves are false worshippers because they favor Dec 21 only because it is the solstice. The Mayan tun has nothing to do with the seasonal year. A new year can be the date Dec 21 only in alternatives of 137 years and 480 years, (and that's 4 days off of a seasonal solstice). The claim Maya are seasonal is based on the haab (365-day) which takes 1508 haab to be 1507 Gregorian years. NO CONNECTION to tomorrow's date being 5200 tun (of 360-day). How can the maya have a "most accurate" seasonal calendar in the world that marks only every 1507 years, and then be claimed to be a seasonal date atthe end of 5200 years that dont even begin on Dec 21 of 3114bc. Modern acrcheologists lie showing favor to G.August 11 to get our G.Dec 21 when all other world calendars (and the Bible) clear show it was G.Aug 12 to our Dec 22. Truth isn't found by favoring hyped media to sell books or become famous at archeology. Further, this day, the wrong Dec 21, or true Dec 22, is day ZERO, day 1 is the day after.
i dont believe in that stuff becaues in the bible it says even mankind doent know and plus its going to be SUNNY tomorrow so
ok, suppose the mayans are wrong and the world does not end, what is the next new end of the world prediction?_
If the mayans were so smart why aren’t they here today
BOOM
#truth
well lets see…… the Mayans along with the Aztecs, Incas and Olmec where all conquered by a superior force. the Mayans were conquered……. that's why they are not still around today you idiot. pick up a damn book sometime and actually learn something. Also if you are going to say that since they were so smart why didn't they survive against the Europeans when they invaded, well lets see Europe was and has always been in a state of war so they use their "smarts for military use while the Mayans used theirs for sciences, and astronomy. learn your fucking history before you say a damn ass remark again. You are stupid and deserve to get hit in the stomach for being so dumb.
Small Pox……..and they are here. The idea they were wiped out is a very common misconception. Their empire was wiped out, but all its people were not. They did however worship the God of Grass…..
because in fact they were taken over by European colonies and others who began exploring South America and had aggressive means and better technology due to the fact that the mayans were secluded from progress. Furthermore, no one is saying they were smart. Perhaps they knew what others did not. However I do not believe in this.
Bunch of bullshit. Don't listen for a second. A second Mayan calendar was found that goes on until 4025.
Everybody, chill. The only reason why the Mayan calendar ended one the 21 December 2012 is because they didn't have enough knowledge to do the rest of the calendar. So, let' s say they did for example, and for example stopped on January 3 2013, and then didn't write the rest because they didn't have enough knowledge, would that mean that the world would end on that day? No. No one knows or will know the exact date of the end of the world.
every one the world id not ending its all a host because nasa said there wont be an end tomorrow
He is right guys the Mayan calendar ends there because for them it's a start of a new year
Put mud for nasa. World will be ending on Dec 21st. It has to be happen reason because no humans has humanity and tolerance also respect except me. Only I be alive others will be in ocean. Bye Bye guys……………..
Maybe the mayans were so dumb that thaey stuck there heads up there own jackses and died in a world of shit that’s probly the sulition of the calinder not being f
inished
No way is this true, just another load of rubbish!!!!!!
Only god knows when the end will be,and that only means a new beginning..
The other parts of the world is already December 21, 2012. We're almost there. Let's just wait and see.
lol well Australia made it since its 21/12/12 lol what a load of crap world ending get a life.
