How the hell would the Mayans know?


So what you are telling me is that because of some Mayan Calendar created thousands of years ago you
 believe that the Earth as we know it will be non-existent as of December 2012? Okay crazy… 
Aww the end of the world topic, Yes it is coming but no we do not know the exact date.

 I have been to dozens of lectures where this topic is brought up, it seems like we are whipping a dead horse everytime... The end of the world, which will be a catastrophic event, a huge meteor striking and wiping away all life forms from Earth. My Geography class sophomore year spent an entire three weeks devoted to discussing this one topic. Constant questions from the class made me go crazy because they really actually believed
 this F***** up S#iT. I have always doubted that this was going to happen, how could a calendar created thousands of years ago be accurate to the very day of when the world was ending… how the hell would the Mayans know? 
I found many YouTube videos showing exactly what “will” happen on this horrible day that so many people believe in even though NASA and other credible sources have debunked this myth. Like many of the “doomsday” myths that have circulated including Y2K and May 2011 it is a dangerous and harmful thing for people to believe in. Trusting the Mayan Calendar to predict these things will no doubt cause social panic and chaos very soon. People will begin to make lavish purchases outside of their means, commit suicide to avoid a horrific death and go insane until 12am December 22nd 2012 when we all blink and realize we are all still here…. Damn, I told you shouldn’t have bought that Porsche… blame the Mayans its their fault.  
The rhetoric used in this video is insane... Using the bible verses and visual images... its a long video but worth a watch if you're bored.

  1. I agree, I think that the End of the World hype was a bit dramatic. One point that I heard of which I thought was clever was that daylight savings time hadn't been created yet so the date is way off (I can't remember what that day was). But, the date has already passed. In your face, believers.
