No one disagrees that the Mayan calendar ends – for what ever reason – in December of the year 2012. Some day its December 21st and some say its December 23rd.
Anyway, did the Mayans actually tell us what would happen when their calendar ends?
I don’t get it. But it is very interesting.

Well the calendar was carved in stone, maybe they ran out of room on the stone to carve more days.
What they said is that the cycle comes to an end on that date. what that means is anyone’s guess
Nothing will happen that day. I plan to get up, poop, eat b-fast, & go to work as per usual.
someone said that the world will end on that day. hey,i may not be around to witness anything! oh well i really dont believe in that stuff.
So what is going to happen to the planet on that date?
Well, actually, nothing out of the ordinary in the way of disasters!
What is happening is not of the physical world, but of the spiritual and, in particular, our collective consciousness.
According to the Mayan Calendar December 21, 2012 marks the beginning of a new era in the development of man. It marks a transition from where mankind has a consciousness, to a higher level where mankind is consciousness.
I believe something will happen on that day.
Oh great….
I won’t even get to celebrate my 25th birthday cuz the world will end on that day. LOL. My bday in on the 22nd.
The Mayans Calendar, which is not predicting the end of the world in 2012, but the start of a new era on December 21st, 2012. The year 2012 marks the end of the “Great Cycle.” When it came to mathematics, time and calendars, the Maya were geniuses. Believing that time repeated itself in cycles.
That this would be the end of the world. The apocalypse.
I don’t know of any predictions the Mayans made, their calendar just ends there. Theirs is not the only one, either. Several American Indian tribes also mark 2012 as the “End of this deram and the beginning of the new dream”.
Astronomically, that’s when the solar system passes across the galactic “equator” or the center plane of the galaxy. There are several theories making the rounds about what will happen then, from polar shifts to major earth changes due to earthquakes, floods, and the like. I’ve heard that even most psychics and clairvoyants have a hard time seeing anything beyond 2012.
Hang on, it could be a wild ride !
After a long search I have found that there is not one single writing about what, exactly, was predicted by the Mayans for the year 2012. Their calendar ends, it is not known why. The assumption that the calendar ends because the Mayans predict the end of the world is the general assumption, but this is not based in fact nor scientific data.
“According to the Maya’s predictions the physical unleashing cause for the change is that we would receive a radiation originated in the centre of the galaxy which would be transmitted to the Solar System as an immense “radiant flare”. This event would start a new cosmic cycle. ”
The above is a quote from Marilola Castro Moure, a reporter from The Digital Magazine of Cuban Arts and Culture. In my opinion this just conjecture on her part since it bears no scientific fact, just assumptions.
Interestingly enough, for all the talk about 2012, it is quite difficult to find a single listing of all the prophecies. Most of what you find on the Internet is vague–generalizations of mass destruction or a transformation into a new age.
Therefore interpretation as to whether 2012 will bring total destruction or a transformation of our world is pure conjecture.
Below are prophecies (not necessarily Mayan) for 2012:
1. There have been three or four previous races and ages of humanity (depending upon the source you read). All of these have been destroyed in major cataclysms. December 21.2012 marks the end of this age and it will end in major catastrophes such as Earthquakes. (see commentary on this statement below)
2. For half of the katun (20 year Mayan cycle) there will be food, for half some misfortunes. This katun brings the end of the “word of God.” It is a time of uniting for a cause.
3. As we pass through transition there is a colossal, global convergence of environmental destruction, social chaos, war and ongoing Earth changes.
4. The Earth will undergo a magnetic field shift, reversing the polarity of the planet.
5. An asteroid or comet will collide with the Earth.
Which of these, if any will, cause the paradigm shift is unknown.
So, to answer y our question, no, the Mayans did not predict exactly what would happen.
