Not anouther end of the world. How many are we up to now?
Here's a thought, maybe the Aztec only did their calander upto 2012 becaue there was Tlachtli game on that night or something and they just never got around to coming back and finishing it. It's not like they put "THE END OF THE WORLD" at the end of their calander or anything.
Agreed, they just stopped their calander at that date, they didn't say why. Only people's assumptions think it's because the world ends then.
Maybe they figured a few thousand years was long enough to calculate.... sorta like how most of today's calanders start on January and end December 31'st..... Oh noes!! based on my calander here, the world's going to end in 5 months!!!!
The whole concept of the sun eventually expanding and dying out, thus destroying Earth and a few other planets is kinda a given, so they're not really stating anything new.... every sun eventually does this.
Of course if we don't kill ourselves by then, I'm sure we would have either figured out how to colonize another planet or regenerate the sun for another few billion years.
