According to the Mayan calendar, what year marks the end of the world?
A. 2012
B. 2219
C. I thought it already happened.
Although December 21, 2012 (the Winter Solstice) is usually cited as the end of the world on the Mayan calendar, that date is based on a false assumption, according to David Humistson Kelley, who calculates December 21, 2220 as the more accurate date for the apocalypse. That allows adequate time for the stock market’s predicted recovery to happen – before it doesn’t matter anymore.
David Humistson Kelley is well known for his key role in deciphering the Mayan hieroglyphs and for his textbook on the astronomical techniques of ancient civilizations. The Mayan’s predicated end of time has captured a lot of popular imagination, even though it simply marks an end to one of the endless cycles of time in their cosmology, and would likely cause no more problems for them that day than Y2K did on January 1, 2000 for us.
For those interested in staying current with the latest predictions there’s always the Doomsday Clock (where it is five minutes to midnight) and the Rapture Index, which apparently factors economic news into its biblical end time prophesies.
