2012 isn't the end of the world, Mayans insist

This is pure silliness! Some were speculating that 2000 was the end of the World. Now, some say 2012.

Apolinario Chile Pixtun is tired of being bombarded with frantic questions about the Mayan calendar supposedly "running out" on Dec. 21, 2012. After all, it's not the end of the world.

Or is it?

Definitely not, the Mayan Indian elder insists. "I came back from England last year and, man, they had me fed up with this stuff."

It can only get worse for him. Next month Hollywood's "2012" opens in cinemas, featuring earthquakes, meteor showers and a tsunami dumping an aircraft carrier on the White House.

At Cornell University, Ann Martin, who runs the "Curious? Ask an Astronomer" Web site, says people are scared.

"It's too bad that we're getting e-mails from fourth-graders who are saying that they're too young to die," Martin said. "We had a mother of two young children who was afraid she wouldn't live to see them grow up."

Chile Pixtun, a Guatemalan, says the doomsday theories spring from Western, not Mayan ideas.

Mayan's are very good in astronomy as many peoples thinks so...they take more interest in astronomy that's it...it doesn't predict that they are correct about there predictions and so...

As you post something about earth i would like to request every body here in this forum that we always think about our health or our friends and families health but never about our mother Earth's health..we already disturbed it in many ways..we already seen early warning from nature like Tsanami or some serous earth quakes...try make earth earth healthy and livable for our future families...

How knows those myths comes alive...God Still Most Unpredictable power ...

And this is not a myth...Right?

One more think i would like share..what i think about that calendar that the current Mayan calendar was made from 500-1000 A.D. With the calendar going some 1000 years into the future, the makers probably decided to let their successors worry about the next galactic cycle. Unfortunately the Spaniards invaded and the successors were no longer. And with all of today's science we have no idea how to continue and update the Mayan calendar.

It's not that Mayan calendars are off. It's that no one realizes the cycle starts again in 2012. So it's not the end of the calendar, you just start over. Just like December isn't the end of the world! It's just the end of the year, then we start over. I've read about this from a Mayan perspective.
