  16. The Mayan Calender doesn't account for leap years, which would mean now would be around September or October of 2013, and the world should have ended almost a year ago.
  17. The Mayan calender works in 20s and 13s, and this would be the end of the 13th largest cycle. Scientists don't even know if it ends on the 13th, or the 20th which would be in 8000. Btw, alek, the mayan calender doesn't count in years, it just that the largest cycle restarts on dec. 21, 2012. I read about it. There is also a large asteroid that is going to pass by earth in 2021, possibly creating another moon.
