Of course the Mayans said no such thing, it's just another example of not letting the facts get in the way of a good Armageddon scenario...

You see this

Your video was crap man, everyone knows the world will end this month. The Mayans said so....

and translate it as Armageddon. Was I talking about Armageddon? Or are you just throwing your assumptions around again?

Yeah I know, it's really annoying this time zone thing. Those smart arse Mayans didn't factor that in did they, no wonder they died out.

bwaaaa ha ha ha ha haaaaaa... they was saved by aliems, and some were returned following a great disaster that befell the earth... they didn't die out (some maya still exist). Get your facts right man.

Most poeple "translate" the Mayan prediction as some kind of Armageddon. The term is commonly used to describe the end of the world.

If you have a different view, feel free to explain it.

Must be the most people you talk to Ed. Most all the ones I speak to only see the "Mayan prediction" as the end of the world and wonder what single event could do that, asteroid perhaps. Then again nearly all see it as rubbish and realise that the 21st 12 12 is also the summer/winter solstice and therefore accept it is most likely a cycle reset.

I really think we're splitting hairs here.

The so-called prediction has been well enough explained by now that it would be surprising if anyone still believed it.

Ah well... most people also believe all sorts of stupid things.

So you'll swap one fairy story (Mayans predict the end of world) for another fairy story (Christianity and/or Santa Claus) ???

Ah well... most people also believe all sorts of stupid things.

Mashman is right !!!!

I had a sneaking suspicion that the Mayan end of the world isn't actually the end of the world but the beginning of a new world... made to order I've been led to consider. De missus got chrimbo shopping anyway, so we're fully stocked up with tin foil hats and turkey in case we get a 2hrs 35 minute warning. I wasn't going to say and I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
